AN- Hello again, fact for today: You guy are great! I asked for 3 reviews and you gave me 5, yippee, you guys made my day with your reviews! THANKS :D

So as promised... here's the next chapter, bit short than what I normally do :( but ah well, I promise the next chapter will be longer!

HAVE FUN READING :D

Where am I? Merlin's head was throbbing; bang, bang, bang. In fact it wasn't just his head that was throbbing; it was his entire body; it was on fire. Merlin whimpered out in pain.

Why can I not see anything? He was positive he had his eyes open, but all he could see was white covering his eyes.

Arthur where did- where did you go? The last thing he remembered clearly was running after Arthur, but why was I running?

Merlin tried to move, but something restricted him from doing so, something cold and heavy around his wrists and ankles, where they chains?

Merlin could feel the blood rushing to his head; Gaius once said to me that if the blood rushes to your head than my dear boy you must be hanging upside down. So that must mean I'm hanging upside down.

Merlin focused on the area around him; he needed to focus on something other than the pain that was tormenting his body.

He tried to work out where he was. He already ruled out any type of woods since he couldn't hear any type of wild life. So he concentrated again, this time harder, still noting but the howls of the wind, does that mean I'm outdoors?

Merlin tried to cocked his head to one side; to try and hear any type of sound coming from anywhere around him, he wanted to distinguish any sound quickly; his neck was in hurting him, to say he was in pain was an understatement; every move, every twitch of his neck sent ripples of agonising pain down his spine. You need to focus Merlin! Focus on anything, other than the pain.

So Merlin focused and blocked out all his other senses, except for his hearing. He could hear what sounded like falling water. A waterfall, I'm near a waterfall, I must be in some sort of cave then.

'He-hello' Merlin called out in a weak voice, testing out his one and only theory.

'He-helloo' the cave replied back to Merlin, an echo in his voice. So I'm trapped inside a cave. But who brought me here? They obviously don't seek to help me! Merlin tugged at his chains, regretting after he did; the chains dug into his raw soars, ripping more of his flesh off in the process. Merlin screamed in pain.

Bang, bang, bang, bang. What is that noise? It's not my brain trying to claw its way out of my skull this time, the sound coming closer bang, bang, bang. Is the noise footsteps?

"Why is the sorcerer not died already? We had an agreement Witch!" The Kings harsh voice boomed from a far distance. Is that the...King? Yes, I think it is. The entrance must be somewhere to the left of me.

"All in good time Uther. Your son is safe from him now, isn't that what matters Uther?" Morgause? Is she the cause of my pain?

"I want him dead, now!" Uther roared at the blonde haired witch.

"And again I will say all in due time!" Morgause snapped at Uther.

"Just make sure he dies!"

"I will, but by the looks of things, your son has already saved me a job." There was a pregnant pause; Merlin could hear footsteps coming from the right. Did Arthur stab me? That's right he said he thought I was a troll. Oh no! I think I told him about my magic.

"Intromanga anof asay"

"You must leave now; the Prince is on his way back to Camelot, he looks quite...upset!" Morgause didn't even try and hide the joy in her voice.

"This isn't over, Witch!"

Merlin heard the banging sound of feet once more. Uther must have left.

Bang, bang, bang, bang. The footsteps were lighter than before. Morgause must still be here, but what does she want with me, what use am I to her?

"Rise and shine Merlin!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Merlin screamed in pain; the flesh on his back was being torn open and ripped apart, but Merlin couldn't feel a blade on his back, Morgause was using her magic.

"Oh Merlin, Merlin, Merlin, I'm going to have some fun with you!" Morgause cackled.

When the blackness came to take Merlin, he welcomed it to take away his pain.

"A-Arthur" Merlin whispered

"Don't worry your pretty little head over Arthur now, he's fine, you on the other hand are an entirely different story!" Morgause was so close now that Merlin could fell her icy breathe on his face. It made him shiver, which cause him even more pain. A-Arthur, help me, please, I- I need you!

AN- I think it's a kinda a win/lose situation; we get Merlin back(alive) :D...but he's in a lot of pain :(

Me: So what did you think?

Merlin: It's not very nice; I'm in a lot of pain.

Me I know, I'm really, really sorry for that :Nods head and hugs Merlin:

Merlin: It's alright, as long as I make it out alive.

Me: Yeeeeaaahhh, well about that...

Merlin: WHAT! You mean I'm gonna die?

Me: Not sure yet, I need at least 5 reviews off the readers to make up my mind!

Merlin: DEAR READERS, PLEASE GIVE HER 5-10 REVEIWS TO KEEP ME IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING!
