Chapter 11
As the door slammed shut Adianna rushed to Merlins side, wrapping her arms around the weeping boy she let him cry on his shoulder. Merlin mumbled things she didn't understand as he cried his heart out. Raising her hand she pushed some hair out of his eyes. Waiting until Merlin was ready to talk she held him through his pain.

"Arthur" Morgona screamed running from her room into the next. Arthur looked up at the yell of his name, Morgona come bursting into the room, with horrified eyes she sat down next to Callum. "What's going on?" Arthur took hold of one of her shaking hands "Morgona please" Callum rested a hand on her shoulder. Morgona took several deep breaths before looking up to meet to sets of pleading eyes "I know where they are" she whispered

Merlin rested his head on Adianna's shoulder, he wished more than anything his friend wasn't here, that she didn't have to see this happening, he felt sick and dirty but mostly he was cold, like his sun had been taken from him, a sun that looked and felt a lot like Arthur. "we need to get out of here" Adianna's words brought him back from his thoughts "no" he whispered, Adianna turned to look at her friend, so small and fragile, already broken "what do you mean no, we have to get out of here, people love us out there, they are mostly likely searching for us now, they need us" Merlin only shook his head "we can't anyway, I've tried" he pointed at a mark on his leg "Uther chained me to a wall and wipe me for being ungrateful" he said in disgust, Adianna's face paled " we could use your magic" Merlin started shaking, he brought his knees up and hugged them close to his chest "Merlin what's wrong" Adianna hugged him close "I...I can't...I don't... he" Merlin chocked out "what do you mean" "Uther, when you were brought here I got scared, panicked, when he left I put a spell on you do he couldn't touch and use you like he does me, he walked in and saw me, I was happy... though he was going to kill me but then he just left me, he come back of course but this time he had a vile of something with him, he forced me to drink it, drugged me and when I woke up my magic was gone" Merlin whispered in tears, Adianna wiped his tears away "Arthur and Callum will find us, they won't give up" she reassured him, Merlin laugh a dark and hollow laugh "how? As far as Arthur knows I'm dead remember, by now Callum probably thinks you are too" "no Merlin" Adianna looked him in the eyes "Arthur never believed it for a second, he never gave up hope". Merlin fell asleep in Adianna's arms, happy in his dreams of his love, safe from the harsh reality they were stuck in.

Arthur started as Morgona in shock, there was no way she could know where Merlin was. "How" Callum exploded, Morgona shook her head "you have to let me explain" both princes nodded "Arthur do you know about Merlins magic?" when Arthur nodded she continued "A couple f months he come to me and told me about my dreams. I may not be a witch or sorceress but I do have some magic, I'm a seer, I see things mainly the future in my dreams" "what has this got to do with Adianna and Merlin "Callum asked "Let her finish" Arthur snapped "I saw them in my dream, locked away in a stone room with blood on the walls, just like the one Adianna used to dream about, they were she was chained up screaming for help and he was laying on the floor practically dead. I've never seen the room before but I'd know the stone anywhere" she looked at the wall "they're here, somewhere hidden in the castle".
Arthur and Callum looked at each other "no they can't be, we'd have seen them, heard them, saw some kind of sign that they were here" Callum spoke first "we never found his body" Arthur whispered "it all makes sense" Morgona said as she stood up and walked over to Arthur "No, why would they be here father said he was dead" Arthur took a step back, head spinning "unless he lied" Callum looked at Arthur in the eye "think about it Arthur what was wrong with Merlin when he left that morning he left" "he had a nightmare" "about what" Arthur sighed "I don't know, I never asked" "what about the night before? Did anything happen then" Morgona stood beside Arthur, holding his hands not letting his run away from this "he... He had a fight or something with Uther, he was scared" Arthur face fell "NO... He wouldn't...He couldn't" Arthur yelled "I'll kill him" Arthur growled "Arthur stop" Callum grabbed Arthurs shoulders "we need to make sure it really is Uther" "there's only one way to find out" Morgona nodded towards the door. The three walked out of the room to find Uther.
