An Ill Fated Snow Day

by EmrysTheMerlin

Two weeks to the day since Arthur and Merlin regained Camelot, and Arthurs back to being a prat! Target practice is one thing but tracking practice on a snowy day is rediculous! What happens when it starts snowing in earnest and Arthur and the younger knights loose Merlins trail? Can Arthur find him before he freezes to death?

Part 5 Out Of The Gap

(Authors Note: I am so sorry the pieces of this one are so short! I feel bad, but I am doing it for a reason. I'm splitting by perspective so the chapters themselves make more sense. I own nothing. I promise there are some long ones… not a lot but a few. Don't hate me for short chapters please. ~scared and in need of reviews~)

I hoped they would find me soon. I had done my best to splint my wrist without magic. I had no idea how close the knights were and didn't dare use it. I had used my neckerchief as a makeshift bandage. I tried to climb out of the gap that was situated between two ridges, I hadn't paid that much attention on the way down. I failed when my wrist protested loudly.

Tears stung my eyes and I huddled into my cloak. Snow was falling in earnest now. The gap wasn't big or sheltered. I followed it, my left arm held close to my chest. The wrist throbbed and ached but I needed to get back.

The gap opened out into the forest and I shivered again. It really was freezing out here now. Huge fluffy flakes caught in my hair and melted there. I bit my lip trying to figure out what to do. I needed to get to Giaus and have him set my wrist properly. I began to trudge back the way I had come. I hoped. I really couldn't tell in all the swirling snow that continued to paint the world white.
