Chapter 8
Adianna stood frozen in her spot, if Callum hadn't wrapped his arms around her waist the moment Uther mentioned Merlin to hold her up she would have fallen to the ground. This was just too much for her, Merlin had been the brother she never had, he had always been happy, no matter how many secrets he had to keep or how many lies he had to tell he'd always been ok, or had he, had she missed something, had Merlin been hiding how he really felt, she knew he always out other people first but this was something he would never do. Tears leaked through her closed eyes as her thoughts ran through her head, she was pulled out of her trance by the sound of Callum yelling and a door slamming.
She opened her eyes in time to see Arthur bolt from the room. "Arthur" Callum yelled, Adianna moved taking Callum's hand "come on" she whispered before running after Arthur. "Arthur wait" Callum begged "Arthur please" Adianna pleaded but he continued to run and they continued to follow him.
In the middle of nowhere Arthur broke down. Legs giving out on him he fell to the ground with tears running down his face. Angry screams and pain filled cries fill the air around him.

Callum and Adianna stood on the sidelines listening to Arthurs screams. Catching his breath Callum held Adianna in his arms, kissing away her tears he tightened his hold on her, trying to take some of her pain away. Later when only Arthur's quiet sobs could be heard they moved over to him. "Arthur" Adianna whispered wrapping a arm around his shoulder as she sat "Brother" Callum rested his hand on Arthurs other shoulder. They sat in silence except for Arthurs whimpers until the sun began to set.

Adianna stroked some hair out of Arthur's eyes. Somehow he ended up lying across the ground with his head resting in her lap. Adianna sighed to herself, he was practically asleep. Callum lifted his eyes to Adianna "are you ok I know how close you and Merlin were" Adianna shrugged "I'm not sure, it doesn't feel like he's gone" "so you don't believe Uther either?" Callum ran his finger across he hand, Adianna looked up and gave him a strange look "you don't honestly think I would believe a single word that man says" Adianna rested her head on his shoulder "I don't want to" she looked at Arthur peacefully asleep, away from the horrors of the real world "but a lot of things have happened that I never wanted to".

In his dreams Arthur saw a river. This was nothing strange about this river, he'd seen it a million times it was where he and Merlin had first confessed their love for each other. He looked up at the some cliff, someone was standing on it. He only realised who it was after they jumped. He ran into the water franticly looking for Merlin, trying to save him. It was useless, he couldn't even see through the water "Merlin" he screamed "Arthur" he froze "Arthur pleases" the voice called again "I don't know where I am, it's dark and cold. I'm scared. Arthur please help me"

Arthur woke up screaming, Merlin voice still ringing in his ears. "Arthur it's alright it was just a dream" He herd Callum tell him, he looked around at the dark forest they were in. He closed his eyes as he remember what had caused him to come here. "He's really gone isn't he?" he asked in a broken voice "we don't know" Adianna whispered. Arthur lowered his head as he allowed himself to be lead back to the castle.
Thanks for reading. I'm really sorry if u love Merlin but hey I love him to. But you never know he might not actually be dead. Also I'm really sorry but I've got like heaps of school shit to do so the next chapter won't be up until after the 19th. Reviews make me happy. Ily xoxox
