AN) this whole chapter is in Arthur's prov.

I sat in my chambers thinking about … well Mia. I never saw Merlin so angry or sad. To be honest it scared me. I stood and walked out of my chambers. Heading down the halls of the palace I found my feet had carried me to Gaius' chambers. I crept inside being quiet. It was black and I could hear Gaius' soft snores. Slowly I navigated myself across the room to Merlin's bedroom door. I opened the door softly and gazed in. Merlin was not in his bed, instead he was by his window sleeping. I smiled sadly. I don't have any siblings so he couldn't imagine what it would be like to have a sister run away. I slipped in and grabbed a blanket from Merlin's bed then draped it across Merlin's sleeping form. Merlin was the closest thing I've ever had to a friend, I just wouldn't tell him that. I smiled and left heading.. I don't know where. I found my feet leading me up the stairs of the tavern and outside Mia's door. I turned to leave. "n-no. N-no. don't die. St-stay with me." I heard a soft murmur. I stopped and pressed my ear against the door. "Jimmy!" I heard her scream. I placed my hand on the door nob. "NO! NO!"I heard her painful scream. I swung the door open and saw her in bed. She saw tossing her head back and forth as if from a painful nightmare she was trying to shake away. What had she been through? What horrors had she seen that caused her so much mental pain?

AN) it will be back to normal next chapter
