So I got confused with Gwen and Gwen so from now on original Gwen shall just be Guinevere! I'm sorry it's been so long! Stupid essays coursework businesses for months including guitar, singing lessons and drama lessons so please don't kill me! Part 2 shall be up tomorrow

Gwen:

"Admit it you like him!" Guinevere laughed pulling me in the direction of the lower town.

"I don't want to!" I groaned pulling the jacket I had borrowed from Merlin back onto my shoulders with my spare hand, "it's weird and uncomfortable."

"Ok fine... I already know the answer anyway."

"What's the point of asking if you already know the answer?" I smirked as we neared her small house.

"Stop trying to be smart Gwen it doesn't suit you," she said causing me to burst out laughing.

"I've taught you well."

Guinevere opened the front door and walked into the darkness to find a candle and I went to follow only to hear her scream, "Gwen?" I asked pushing the door open slightly to see her small body swung over a strangers shoulder, I gasped and ran back towards the castle to get help only to feel my feet leave the ground and my whole body swing backwards landing on the hard ground. Black dots filled my vision and the last thing I remembered seeing was a pair of golden eyes leer over me.

Merlin:

"Arthur!"

"What did I tell you about knocking Merlin?" He said angrily.

"Listen to me you prat! Gwen hasn't come to see me today and Guinevere's missing too I found this in their house," I shouted passing the small piece of cloth to Arthur and watching in dismay as he breathed in the drugged cloth before falling backwards into a chair I pulled behind him.

"Argh! What is that?"

"It's a compound of hogswort and valerian... Just guessing." I added.

"You could knock a man out with that!" He yelped standing up.

"Yes... Or women."

Gwen:

I opened my eyes and let out a deep breath believing I was in Guinevere's perfect little house when I was yanked roughly onto my knees and forced to look up at a man with dark brown eyes and hair to match, he had a cruel smile gracing his good looking face and two swords strapped to his back, I had only ever seen Cenred from afar but he seemed more terrifying this close up.

"Sleep well?"

"Good thank you have a complaint though. Your moronic excuses for kidnappers for example," I said staring into his eyes innocently only for him to laugh.

"I am truly sorry for that."

"Yes you should be," I muttered looking round at Guinevere kneeling beside me fear clear in her eyes.

"I have a little job for you Gwen was it?"

I raised an eyebrow at his snigger before saying, "let my friend go and I'll listen but if you hurt her..."

"Oh but we need her for this little job Gwen! She will return to Camelot and tell your precious Prince Arthur that we have you hostage..."

"Why would the Prince come for a servant?"

"But you're not just a servant are you Gwen?" He sneered.

"Did your spy tell you that?" Confusion flashed over his features, "that's right I know and if you don't let my friend go I will tell and you will be ruined."

"Oh I plan on letting her go back to Camelot Gwen and she will bring the Prince to us or the brother dies," he shouted pointing at another kneeling person in the corner.

"I will get Arthur."

"Guinevere no! Don't do this please!" I cried.

"If I don't you and Elyan will die Gwen," she whispered staring into my eyes with a hopeful look that said she knew I would think of something. My shoulders slumped in defeat and Guinevere was dragged away in one direction and me and Elyan in the other.

Merlin:

I walked away from the council chambers trying to keep control of my anger because Uther refused to help Gwen, she's greater than the noblest of your men Uther Pendragon I thought as I tried to find a trace of Gwen which was failing dismally when I whacked into someone and fell over, I looked up to shout at them and was shocked to see Guinevere, "GUINEVERE! Where's Gwen? And where have you been you weren't at your house earlier?"

"I... I need to speak to..." She mumbled as she grabbed hold of the front of my shirt and sobbed into me, for a moment I was too shocked to do anything then I wrapped my arms around her and steered her towards Arthur's chambers.

"Guinevere what's wrong?" Arthur asked as we walked into his chambers, "oh and knock next time Merlin."

"You are kidding?"

"Merlin please," whispered Guinevere, "Gwen's being held hostage by King Cenred I was released to bring you to him, if I don't Gwen and my brother Elyan will die and if I do you will die."

"What's the downside to that?" I joked.

"Gwen would be distraught and heartbroken and Camelot would be weak."

"Gwen? Distraught? Heartbroken? Really?" Arthur smiled lovingly at Guinevere before shaking himself and turning towards me, "Merlin prepare the horses and get our packs ready."

"I am coming too," Guinevere said then before Arthur could react, "They have my brother and Gwen's my friend too." Arthur nodded and went to walk off.

"What will your father say?" I asked frowning.

"I'll... Um..." He frowned for a second before clicking his fingers excitedly, "I'll tell him I made a bet with Morgana and I need to go and get her silk dresses."

"Silk dresses?"

"Girls like that kind of thing," he shouted as he ran away causing Guinevere to roll her eyes.

"I really don't know what Gwen sees in him.

Gwen:

I shuffled round on the cold stone floor trying to get as comfortable as possible which was hard considering my hands were chained to the wall and looked out at the one source of light I had in the tiny cell and sighed.

"Please Arthur don't come. Don't let him come here Merlin. Please...
