Chapter 6
Merlin closed his eyes pretending to fall asleep. He could hear Arthur shifting next to his bed, then a soft kiss was pressed against his forehead. Merlin resisted the urge for his cheeks to burn up. His lips twitched softly, he almost smiled, but he had to resist. If he didn't, Arthur would know, Arthur would know that he was faking. He couldn't let Arthur know. Arthur then pressed a hand on Merlin's pale high cheek bone. A shiver ran down Merlin's spine, and a burst of hot fire emitted from Arthur's touch. But Merlin continued pretending to be unconscious. Slowly Arthur's hand pulled away, and yet Merlin could still feel Arthur's warmth, from the kiss, and from her hand. It was a pleasant feeling, Merlin decided.
With a little creaking, Merlin realized that Arthur was leaving his room. Merlin turned slowly and pressed his face into the pillow, it smelled of Arthur. Merlin liked that smell. He heard the door creak and the light slowly faded away as his door was almost shut. He listened for Arthur's feet, as he walked down the stairs. Merlin held in his breath as the golden blond man cursed about his tv. Merlin started to regret about crushing his so called 'tv', or as the teen liked to call it, the over sized security camera.
Ever so slowly Merlin started to get up, he slowly looked over to the door that was cracked open. He didn't want Arthur to know he was leaving. He was sure of it, that Arthur knew he would try and stop him. Merlin couldn't let that happen, not yet, he cared to much for Arthur. He knew that if Arthur knew, he would try and stop him, and if he tried to stop him, than he would get hurt, and the blue elected teen cared to much.
Merlin slipped out of his bed and peeked out his door, seeing that no one was in sight Merlin tip toed over to his window and pulled open the window. A blast of cold air smacked him in the face, and despite being born in Ireland, and living in Russia, Merlin shivered. Merlin looked down at himself, boxers and a small tank top, maybe he should have grabbed some more warmer clothes. Merlin walked over to Arthur's dresser and pulled on the drawer. A loud squeak was heard, Merlin sucked in a sharp breath. Silence followed from down stairs.
"Merlin?" a soft shout sounded out. Merlin pulled out some camo, cargo pants, and pulled on a black hoodie laying on a desk over to the side. The mysterious teen ran to the window and peered out. There was a small ledge he could walk on. So that's what Merlin did. He stepped out on the ledge and pressed his back to the cold white wood. He looked down to see a shocked face of another teen. It was Will.
"you need help?" he whispered out to the raven haired teen. Merlin, looked over to his window, Arthur would be coming up to see him soon, so Merlin nodded.
The teen known as Will stepped back and then held up his arms.
"Jump." he whispered, Merlin gazed down at the other teen in disbelief, was he being serious!
"An bhfuil tú craiceáilte!(1)" Will have him a confused look and squished up his noes.
"just jump, trust me." thudding was heard from Merlin's window, Arthur was getting closer to finding him. Merlin couldn't let him! So Merlin did the only thing he knew he could do, and still save his energy for the fight ahead. He jumped.
He had landed on Will and both of them had staggered backwards and fallen in the concrete. Will was groaning softly, so Merlin offered a small sorry. Will only nodded and pulled Merlin in a bush. Behind the small bush that scratched Merlin alittle, was a giant cart of eggs. Merlin wondered what he was doing with them.
"Why are you leaving?" Will asked politely. Merlin looked down, should he tell the innocent teen, and have him become endangered. No, he wouldn't.
"I just have something's to take care off, go raibh maith agat(2) for your help." Will only nodded in a thinking position.
"where do you need to go? I can take you." Merlin was going to reply, he didn't need help, but then, he realized, he knew where to go, but not how to get there.
"Could you take me to the old abandoned warehouse far out there?" Merlin gestured to every direction. Will tapped his danger against his lips.
"Merlin? Are you awake?" Merlin could hear the muffled shout from his open window.
"old man Simons warehouse?" Merlin nodded, that sounded about right. He grabbed Merlin's hand and tugged him over to a car.
"Wait here." the Burnett mischievous teen ran inside and within a few minutes he had came back with silver keys. He then proceeded to unlock the car door.
"get in." he offered and that was exactly what Merlin did.

Gauis sat on his metal chair. Blood was gushing out of the numerous cuts on his body. It terrified him to know that he could possibly die now, and never be able to see his nephew again. The elder man wondered what he looked like now? Had he kept his childlike face, did he cheek bones stay prominent, was his ears still to large for his body? The questions swarmed his head and invaded his mind. It was horrible.
CRASH!
A young blond woman stepped through the thick metal door. She giggled softly as she staggered into the dimly light room.
"How are you, old friend?" the blond woman asked pulling a chair out of thin air with a flash of her gold eyes. She smiled and sat in the chair backwards, she then leaned on her hands smirking at the beaten up man. Gauis only groaned out as a reply.
"Do you want to see your nephew?" she asks softly, pretending to be nice. The older man moaned.
"wh-what...have...you...d-d-done...to him..." Morgause smirked and leaned in closer to him.
"nothing yet." she grabbed the elderly man and pulled him down from his chair. With a large thump, the landed on the floor and crimson liquid pooled around him.
"how about we visit him, huh?" she giggled happily and pulled him up and with a whirl of strong cold wind they were somewhere else. Gauis turned to see Merlin.
"UNCAIL(3)!" the blond woman threw the older man before her.
"lookie! Lookie! Look what we have here! It's Emrys!" she sang happily. Merlin lifted Gauis's head softly to lay on his lap. Blood soaked through Merlin's, or should he say Arthur's, camo sweats.
"Come on Merlin. Fight me! FIGHT ME!" she held up her arms in an awkward position. Rocks lifted the self up and launched themselves at Merlin. Merlin's eyes widened and flashed gold. A shield of air swarmed around him, protecting him and his uncle. He pulled his uncle up and with a swirl of air, his uncle was gone as well. She raised her hand up to the sky and chanting was heard. Merlin did the same expat his arms were moved inward unlike hers which were moved outward. He swung them right to left and then launched an unseen force at the blond woman. Bits of her skin, hair, and clothes, blew off into ash. Blood dripped down from her skinny form.
"GOOD! GOOD! YOU'VE LEARNED!" she shouted out and spun around twisting her body so her arms would swing outside. She then launched it out towards he teen and he flew back. He smacked his back against the hard wall behind him and slid to the ground, a trail of blood was left behind him. She then brought her elbows down and smirked.
"mellt gwialen!(1)" electricity pulsed through the air and smacked itself against the raven haired teen's chest. His body twisted and moved in a such a way that it appeared to be as if he was having a seizure. A gagging noise was emitted from the teen as the lightning ended. Smoke swirled away from his chest. Puke mixed with blood splattered across the floor. He slowly stood up.
"Cas mé isteach i deataigh(4)" his body then started shifting as if he was slowly fading away. He raised his arm and soon he bursted into smoke. The blond could no longer see him. Suddenly a whisper was heard and Merlin was on her back grabbing her neck.
"sruthán(5)" he pushed off her back with his feet and landed on the floor and slid. Flames erupted on her neck making a halo around it and encasing it in pain. Screams shouted out from her and she writhered. Merlin watched her.
"Gwinwydd! rhwymo dy gelyn!(2)" Merlin was pushed back and bound to the wall behind him by plants.
"Drain!(3)" thorns pushed themselves out and stabbed Merlin in place. He screamed out, and the flames on the blinds neck faded away. She leisurely walked over to him and laughed happily. A new scar was placed across her neck.
"did you really think you could destroy me?" she asked softly placing her hand on his cheek, just like Arthur had. But unlike before when the gesture had filled him full of warmth, he shivered in anger and fright.
"do you remember this?" she asked pulling out a a thick metal band. Merlin's eyes widened. With flashes of gold he thrashed about.
"STOP! STOP! STOP! PLEASE! STOP! Please! Please stop! le do thoil! impigh mé tú stop!(6)" but his shouts were fruitless. Tears cascaded down his high cheekbones, and Yet she still placed the thick band around his neck with a sickening thunk, the band was latched around his neck. Merlin sobbed harder and harder. Suddenly a sound of a roaring engine was heard a car burst through the wall.
IT WAS WILL! Will pushed on the gas pedal and the car jerked forward into life and smashed into the blond. Her body cracked in an unnatural way and a cry leaped out of her mouth. Merlin's tears turned to blood and he could already feel the bile in his throught start to come up.
"Dychwelyd!(4)" she croaked out. And all of a sudden she was gone. Merlin chocked and cried.
"Merlin! Are you okay?" Will got out of the car and in the passenger seat was Gauis. Merlin smiled, he had gotten his uncle back, everything would be okay now. And soon everything turned black.
