Hello my lovely followers and the lovely people who are reading this chapter.
Once again I hope that you enjoy this story and the chapter and once again I apologise for the long wait.
And just in case you guys forgot. I don't own Merlin.
Now onto the story. Upwards and onwards!
The name Freya sounded familiar to Merlin for some reason but he could not put a finger on why. The girl was quick on her feet but still easy to follow. It was not long before they were back where they had left the others. Though Morgana and Arthur was nowhere to be found Gwen was sitting by some stairs asleep. "Gwen it's not healthy for you to sleep here" Merlin said with a concerned smile on his face. Gwen only moved a little but showed no sign of waking up. Then Merlin turned to Freya "Can we borrow somewhere for her to rest?" he asked her. "I owe you at least that much" she mumbled and for a moment Merlin looked confused at her. Had they met before?
However, Arthur and Morgana then walked up the stairs. "I will help Freya get Gwen to a place where she can sleep" Gwaine said and picked up Gwen. Quickly Morgana said "So will I" and they left. "That girl I think I have seen her somewhere before" Arthur said after they had left Merlin nodded "So do I but I have no idea where that could have been." The air felt like it was getting heavier. This was the first time the two of them were alone since Arthur came to invite Merlin here. The first time since Merlin grabbed Arthur's jacket.
"So Merlin what do you think of Camelot?" Arthur asked looking at his best friend from a former life. "It's a nice place" Merlin told him "A little old-school but nice" They both nodded and just stood there. After a little while they both turned to say something to each other. "You can go first" Merlin said to Arthur. "I just wanted to tell you that I am glad you accepted my invitation to go here" Arthur told "It means a lot to Morgana, Gwen and me" he added. "I should thank you for letting me invite Gwaine on this trip too so thank you" Merlin said and started playing with handkerchief. "When you first came too talk to me at school it seemed that you wanted me to remember something but you never told me what" Merlin mentioned. Arthur was not sure if he should tell him or just keep it a secret until he remembered. After a little thinking he chose to keep it a secret until Merlin would remember. "I just thought I had seen you before and wanted to know if it was you" Arthur then told him. Merlin nodded "Okay I was just curious"
The silence fell on them once again. Arthur the pointed at the stairs and asked "Do you want to take a look down there?" Merlin looked confused at Arthur and asked "What is down there?" "It is the grave of someone who was buried beneath Camelot. It is said that the grave is from before king Arthurs time" Arthur told Merlin. He had almost admitted that it was before his time. They were about to go down the stairs when the museum started shaking.
"Let us get out of here" Merlin said as he grabbed Arthur sleeve. The chandeliers started falling from the celling but Merlin dodged them all skilfully even though he was dragging Arthur with him. Arthur did not even have the time to be impressed. However, just as they were close to the exists a chandelier was about to fall on them and with Merlin not having his memories Arthur thought they were done for it.
He closed his eyes but the pain never came. He then opened his eyes to see that the chandelier was laying a meter away from them. Merlin was staring at the chandelier not moving an inch. "Merlin we have to get out of here before it's too late!" He said as he started dragging Merlin by his sleeve. This time Merlin did not say much and when they got out Gwaine and the others were waiting by the car. When Morgana noticed them she started running towards them. "I was so scared that you were not going to make it" she said when she got to them. Arthur had let go of Merlin's sleeve. They started walking towards the car so they could go home. "Are you hurt Merlin?" Gwaine asked when they got back to the car. "I am not hurt Gwaine so you do not have to worry" A small smile appeared on Merlin's face as he answered his friend. "We better get home before the grown ups get too worried" Gwen said as and they went into the car.
"So how did you get out? You know without getting hurt?" Morgana asked as they drove back to Gaius's place to drop of Merlin. "Merlin grabbed my sleeve and started running and even though things were falling all around us he dodged everything" Arthur told "Just before we got to the exit we were about to be hit by a chandelier but when I opened my eyes again the chandelier was laying a good few steeps away from us" The other were shocked. "That must have been close" Gwen said an then added "I am just glad that both of you are okay."
As the car pulled into the driveway Gaius ran out to see if any of them were hurt. "Are any of you hurt? I saw what happened to the museum on television" "We are all okay Gaius" Merlin answered as he stepped out of the car. "It was a nice trip until the museum started falling down on our heads" He said with a sad smile on he face. "I hope that the next trip will go better" Arthur responded and the car drove off. Merlin and Gaius went inside and Gaius started cooking dinner. "Do you dinner before you go up?" Gaius asked Merlin. "No thank you" he answered "I need some sleep"
Once again I am sorry for the long wait. However things are starting now. I would appreciate it if you would spare me a couple of seconds or minutes to write a reviw.
See you later folks.
