A/N:Just warning you all, this chapter is probably going to be boring...so sorry if you don't like it...

Chapter 5

Arthur ate his cereal very slowly. He was still in his night clothes, which only consisted of his boxers and a t-shirt. Last night had been horrible. His father, furious that Arthur had not seen him over his last break from his duty, demanded he see him in the morning.

Yes it was true, Arthur never got on well with his father, but that was usually becuase of his choice in girlfriends, or should he say lack of them. Yup, Arthur had admitted it a looooooong time ago, he was gay. And his father had never been that nice about it. But that wasn't the reason why he was so stressed, that he had been unable to receive sleep.

No, the reason was becuase of one troublesome teen sleeping in his bed upstairs. Morgana flopped into the wooden chair next to him and smacked her head on the table.

"ow." she muttered and held her head but not letting it leave from the soft wooden surface of the table.
"when he coming?" Morgana grumbled out, as she reached over and smacked Arthur's bicep.
"in about a few minutes." Arthur grumbled back, a groan was heard from his older half sister. None of them had really gotten along with their father. He had been, oh how would you put this?, unsupportive? Strict? Unemotional? Narcissistic? The list went on for the two siblings.

"is he up yet?" Morgana asked as she pointed to the upstairs. Arthur shook his head and groaned in total sleepiness.
"let's hope he sleeps right through this visit, or we'll probably all end up in ashes." Arthur muttered out truthfully as he placed another spoonful of his cereal in his mouth.

NOCK! NOCK!

Arthur groaned in utmost amount of horror.
"he's here." Morgana offered slowly sinking from her place and landing on the floor and hiding under the table.

"Morgana, that is not helpful!" Arthur growled out at the women curled under their kitchen table. A mumble produced itself from her lips, suspiciously sounding like Damn Prat.

Arthur pushed off from the table and headed towards the living room where the nocking continued. For once, in Arthur's life, Arthur wished for Will pelting eggs at his windows instead of his father.

Arthur reached for the handle, grasping it he took in one shuddering breath, then whipped the door open. It wasn't Will. His father stood before him in a very expensive suit. He was talking into a phone and telling the person on the other line about how china had to be apart of their deal. What ever that meant.

"I have to go, call me later." he then ended the call with a click of a button on his iPhone. He then turned his cold, blue, calculating gaze at Arthur.

"my boy." he greeted without a smile.
"where is Morgana?" he asked as he leaned over slightly, looking past Arthur trying to see of his dark haired daughter was there. Arthur leaned way back and peered at the kitchen table, so Morgana had gotten out of her hiding spot, but where had she gone?

"why don't you come in, father." he opened the door in a welcoming gesture. Uther walked in, in a calming way and sat himself at the couch, he then peered at the decorations. Soon his ice cold orbs spotted Arthur and looked him up and down, a frown deepened on his mouth. Arthur instantly rethought the idea of seeing his father in his night clothes.

"let me to get Morgana, is there something you want to drink?" Arthur asked, he was going to try and make this work for once.
"coffee." he stated.
Arthur then headed to the kitchen trying to ready the coffee machine. To be honest, he had no clue what he was doing. That's when he spotted it.

The cabinet door wasn't shut all the way, and he was pretty sure it usually did close. He eyed it suspiciously, and then pulled it open, it banged against the other cabinets next to it. Wide light green eyes looked at him in shock. Arthur sighed.

"Morgana? Seriously!" she only blinked twice.
"make dad coffee, I have no clue how to." Arthur admitted as he pulled his half sister out of the cabinet. She scowled at him.

Morgana started to work the machine and utter walked into the kitchen, taking a seat at the table.
"I see you two just woke up." Uther reminded Arthur that he wasn't exactly in appropriate clothes. Morgana only nodded as she continued to make their father's coffee.

"so Arthur? I was wondering if you would like to come to the office with me." Uther offered, he face not portraying any emotion. Arthur sighed, his father had been constantly trying to get him to take up his empire he had worked up from scraps. His father was a car dealer, or something like that. But everytime Arthur had refused.

"I've told you multiple times father, I have a duty to my country." Arthur told his father trying to give him a hint.
"don't you have work to do dad?" Morgana asked as she put the coffee on the table. So Morgana was trying to get rid of him as well.

Uther sipped his coffee and sighed, "I guess I'll be going, but Arthur are you sure about your decision." Arthur nodded, he felt light, happy, bright. Like all the sunshine in the world beamed down on him. Like, for once, luck was on his side. Hope bursted forward from him, MERLIN HAD SLEPT THROUGH HE WHOLE THING!

THUD!

And with that Arthur's hope was shattered. That thud had been the sound of Merlin's door slamming shut. Arthur turned to Morgana in a flurry of fear. He did not want his father seeing Merlin, after all, they had wanted positive influence, not a grumpy old man that could probably make the boy kill them all.

Uther looked up at the ceiling, you could hear the soft footsteps as they walked down the hall and to the stairs.
"Uther! Don't you have somewhere to go!" Morgana asked in a hurry trying to push the older man out of his chair and towards the door. But he did not move.

A mob of black hair peered past the wall next to the stairs, Arthur stared on in horror, they were screwed. Merlin's hair was a mess, and his blue eyes widened at the sight of another person in the kitchen.
"Dia duit.(1)" Merlin offered, not smiling, for once. Uther turned to Arthur.
"so I see you got yourself a new boyfriend," he glowered down at his only son,"I should get going anyways." he walked out of the kitchen and slammed the door, Arthur could see Merlin wince at the noise in the corner of his eye.

"Arthur? What's a boyfriend?" Arthur smacked his head against the wooden table.

-
-about 2 hours later-

"ARTHUR!" Morgana cried out, Arthur winced at the distraction. And just like Arthur thought he would Merlin looked over to Morgana like a post puppy. He had been trying to explain what girlfriends and boyfriends were, then they had moved on to how the tv worked, becuase Merlin kept saying 'draíochta!(2)' and the sad part was, Merlin wasn't catching on at all.

"Arthur you will not believe who I just got off the phone with!" Morgana squealed out. Arthur sighed.
"who?"
"do you remember my friend from collage, the Russian one?" Arthur pondered on the thought for a moment. He could scarcely remember a women with blonde hair hanging around Morgana. Morgana had dropped out of collage, never completing it, after all they were rich, Arthur himself, didn't either, he just was in the navy seals.

"um, I think so." Arthur thought over the flashbacks, Morgana had so many people over Arthur couldn't tell them apart. But he was pretty sure he could remember a blond woman the most, and she had, had a strange accent.

"yeah, I just got off the phone with Morgous. Oh my gosh, I have missed that girl!" she squealed out happily jumping from right foot to the left. Arthur laughed at his sister and he could hear Merlin's soft giggling next to him.

"Well anyways! I'm heading out to meet her! Oh and I think Gwen's coming over, Gwaine too!" Morgana shouted as she scurried around the house getting ready. A bewildered look crossed Arthur's face.

"don't you mean Lance?" Morgana shook her head.
"nah, poor Gwen probably got stuck babysitting him." Morgana offered as she placed some nice red lipstick over her lips, making them glossy and lushes.
"well see ya!" she turned and headed out the door.
"see ya mor!"
"Slán, slán!(3)" Merlin shouted out after the dark haired woman. She only waved at them without turning around, with a click of a button the car made a beeping noise and Morgana got in. The door shut and they could hear Morgana leave.

Arthur turned to Merlin.
"let's watch something, Kay?" Merlin nodded and Arthur grabbed the remote control and turned on the tv. Merlin's eyes widened at the tv.
"magic..." he gasped out. Arthur smacked his head again, yup Merlin wasn't catching on at all.
"no Merlin, it's called technology." Merlin kept shaking his head.
"no, it's magic, look they're moving, no strings!" Merlin pointed out as if it was the most obvious thing. Arthur sighed, he had been through this for a long time.
"no Merlin, you see, someone is filming them somewhere and that projects itself on our screen after awhile." Merlin turned to him.

"like security cameras?" the blue eyed teen asked. Arthur face palmed. He seemed to be hitting his head alot lately.
"YES! How come that did not register in your brain?" Merlin's eyes widened.

"well that screen is bigger, and you called it a tv, and there is no targets there." Merlin smiled pointing at the tv.
"no targets?" Arthur asked softly. Merlin only nodded.
"and what would you do if there was targets there?" Merlin lifted his hand and his eyes turned gold, the tv crumpled inside itself. The glass shattering and the metal breaking.
"then I would find where they resided and kill them." they he spoke was as if he was talking about his favorite icecream flavor.

"you killed my tv." Arthur stuttered out dumbly.
"yup!" Merlin popped he 'p'. Arthur watched were his tv used to be.

NOCK! NOCK! NOCK! NOCK! NOCK!

The nocking on the door continued.
"stop it Gwaine!" a muffled voice of Gwen was heard. Well Gwen was here, Arthur thought to himself. Maybe she would know what to do with him. Arthur got up and walked over to the door and opened it up. Gwaine's hand was posed ready to knock some more. Gwen's hand was firmly grasped upon his bicep trying to stop him from nocking.

"Cairde!(4)" Merlin shouted out to the two people in front of him who's names started with a 'G'. Gwen flashes them a smile, and Gwaine leaned and arm next to Merlin and leaned in closer to the teen.

"why hello there. I don't think we were properly introduced, my name is Gwaine." he spoke, wiggling his eyebrows in the process. Arthur growled and pulled Merlin closer to him, trust Gwaine to hit on the teenager with magical powers. True, Arthur had to admit, Merlin was pretty, but he- he stopped his train of thought.

"well come inside."

Arthur could tell Gwaine, Gwen, and Merlin would soon become good friends.

-

A brunett man ran down the hall, a few papers flew away from a pile in his hands. He skidded across the hallway and a squeaking noise sounded as he army his doc martins slid against the clean floor. He then burst through double doors and ran towards computers.

"sir, what should we do with the disappearance of Gauis and his recovery team?" The man sighed and rubbed his forehead in stress.

"send a recovery team."

"yes sir!"

-

Merlin was laughing hard at Gwaine's joke. They were playing a game called 'life' which Merlin didn't quite understand fully. He was haven't fun, Merlin loved it here. Everytime he saw Arthur there was always this odd flutter in his stomach and heart. And Merlin always found it odd afterwards when his face would become hot.

"Merlin..." Merlin snapped around to the dark kitchen. Two glowing gold eyes eyed him. Merlin knew those eyes, a cold sweat overcame him.

"Merlin..." Merlin glanced around the room to notice that Gwen, Arthur, and Gwaine, didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary.

"tsk, tsk, tsk, Merlin..." Merlin glanced back to the eyes, she was speaking in his head! Merlin knew he could reply but didn't want to, he was to scared, to happy to lose it all now. Why? Why did she have to come now?

"Merlin..."

"what is it you want?" the eyes didn't blink but a smile soon appeared like the Cheshire cat. And evil smirk it was.

"come fight me, Emrys..." Merlin glared at those gold eyes.
"no!" he scolded her.
"oh, Emyrs, Emyrs, Emyrs, I know you want to fight me, oh I know, you've been itching to fight me since you got your collar taken off and you were replenished."

Merlin shook his head.
"No, I'm a peace keeper, all I want is síochána(5)!"
"But by nature, Emrys, you are a destructive person." Merlin shook his head. He was good, he was good! He knew he was, he had to be, he wasn't a monster, was he? He was peaceful, right?

"come to me Merlin..." Merlin took in a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Arthur turned to him.
"hey Merlin you okay?" Merlin nodded. But deep inside Merlin knew. He was going to find her, he smiled to Arthur but deep inside he was crying. I'm sorry, Merlin thought, forgive me, Arthur.
