AN- So what do you think? If you could also be kind enough to give me feed back, that would be great. I'm trying to improve my writing skills :D

The rain was nice, with the rain you always knew what was coming. It was safe.

Humans on the other hand were rash, merciless. They were unpredictable.

Arthur lifted his grief stricken face towards the rain, the drops of water were cool, but Arthur was already so cold, so numb. His watery eyes fell back upon the slender boy in front of him.

Fresh sobs exploded from Arthur's chest, how could they play such a cruel trick on him?

He threw his head up to the black night and let out shouts of despair-

'GOD PLEASE BRING MY BEST FRIEND, MY BROTHER BACK TO ME'

It was useless, God couldn't hear him, and would he even listen to him if he had?

Arthur begrudgingly stood from the spot where he sat. He took off his warm leather waist coat and gingerly placed it over the still boy lying on the wet ground.

Arthur shakily placed a foot in front of the other and went deeper into the frost of indigo with every step he walked.

My father's a hypocrite, he hates anything and anyone magic and slaughters anyone that processes magic without a second thought and yet he conspired with a sorceress to make me kill Merlin. I hate him, him and that witch, Morgause.

I couldn't tell it was him, it looked nothing like the Merlin I knew; his boyish figure had been replaced with the body of a troll, his blue eyes became little black pinpricks and his goofy smile was nothing more than a grimace.

So being the Prince that I am, I of coarse had to kill the beast. I thought I could have brought its head back as a trophy for the king, I thought I could at last make him proud to call me his son. Arthur scoffed, if only, he thought. From this day on he would never speak to the king again!

It was only when Arthurs sword plunged into the troll's chest did the spell break and Merlin took the stinking trolls place.

"Merlin?" the Prince stood in confusion at the sight of his man servant standing in front of him and not the troll in which he stabbed with his sword into the monsters gut.

Prince Arthur looked at Merlin, still wondering where on earth the troll had got to. Merlin still had his short messy raven hair, his body was still slight like it had always been, but instead of having that god dam goofy grin on his face his mouth was contorted in pain and he was looking downwards at his stomach.

Arthur followed Merlin's gaze and just stood there, disbelievingly. The Prince lifted the sword in his grasp, circled it in his hand and flung it to the soil at what he saw; on the very tip of his sword, there was blood, but not the green blood he had been expecting to see. It was red blood, it was humans' blood.

Merlin's legs buckled underneath him and he fell forward, driving the silver sword further into his chest as he went.

"MERLIN" Arthur screamed in fear.

He closed the gap between himself and Merlin, dropping to his knees as soon as he was close enough to Merlin.

"I- tried- to- tell- you- Arthur- it's- me- Merlin" Merlin struggled to speak.

"I thought you were a troll, if I knew it was you I would have never-"

"You- should-go, I'll die soon- any-way!"

"Then I'm not gonna let you die alone Merlin."

"Bu-"

"No buts, that final!"

Arthur's pain over powered him and he fell to the ground and buried his face in his hand and cried, 'Someone please help me, I have no idea what to do!"

After an hour or so the rain came, soaking both him and Merlin in the process. Arthur had to drag Merlin under a tree to keep him safe. After that Merlin started to hallucinate.

"I'm sorry Arthur. It was I who poisoned Morgana, I had too, Kilgharrah said I had too"

"Kilgharrah, who's he?"

"He's the dragon that use to be in the dungeon, the one I used magic to get rid of" Merlin focused his eyes on Arthur, worry and fear set in his eyes.

"Magic, you're a sorcerer!"

"Yes Arthur, but I never learnt magic, I was born with magic. If there was a button I could to make me somehow human, I would."

"Merlin, you are human. I have to go and get help; I'll ask my father if he could help."

"No, no, please don't leave me on my own, the King did this to me, he found out about the magic, Morgause helped him. This was his plan all along!"

"Really, my father did this to you!"

"Yes"

"Merlin, I still need to get help for you!"

"Please Sire, don't leave me, please, please don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go-"

"Merlin it's okay, its okay; I'm here I'm not going to leave you" Arthur felt the tears trickle lightly down his face. Merlin couldn't die. Could he? After all he was only human.

Arthur reality came crashing down and covered him in a sheet and suffocated him. Not only was his best friend dying, or, or dead. His father betrayed him and he killed his best friend. He was a murderer!

AN- So if you could now R&R :D Also there's a poll on if Merlin should live or die. I will let Merlin live/ die based on the poll :)
