It so amazing how many people have viewed my story in two days! maybe i should write some more after this? what do you think? anyway, may not be as good at the second chapter but here it is.
Also the story-line might not make to much sense right now but it should all make sense in the next chapter.
''Hey, have you seen Merlin around here?'' Gwaine asked the Guard in an impatient tone.
''Yes sire, he went up to the tower wall'' Replied the Guard.
''Why would Merlin be up there?'' Lance questioned.
''How am i supposed to know!'' Gwaine walked over to Lance a gently hit his shoulder ''come on then''
Gwaine and Lance began walking to the other side of Camelot to the tower wall.
The sun was setting on Camelot with filling the sky with a burnt orange colour wih red undertones.
''I dont understand why Arthur asked us to keep an eye and Merlin and make sure he does not leave Camelot at night, its not as if we can watch him at night'' Said Lance.
''Princess probably has his frilly dress in a twist...or maybe he is having a mental breakdown'' Laughed Gwaine.
''I think he is just worried about Merlin...Hey, Gwaine...have you noticed anything different about Merlin?''Lance asked causley.
''What do you mean? his hair? His clothes?''Gwaine replied clearly trying to avoid the question.
''You know what i mean, He barely talks to us anymore, he never laughs, or smiles. The other day Arthur set himself to be made fun of but Merlin said nothing...he was like...like...the perfect servant! There is something wrong with him, and it worries me'' Lance stated in a concerned tone.
''THANKS GOD!'' Gwaine shouted in relief.
''YOU HAPPY ABOUT THAT!' Lance said in shock.
''NO,no,no, I though that i was the only one who noticed the changes in Merlin. I didn't tell anyone because I thought maybe I was making connections that were not there'' Gwaine admitted.
The two knights had made it to the tower, and opened the door. The stone steps spiraled up and around a large stone pillar located in the middle of the tower, The windows in the Tower illuminated the burnt orange of the sky thought the tower. The sounds of the towns people below echoed though the stone structure making it sound like ghosts within. Gwaine and Lance began making there way up.
''So it is agreed, we talk to Arthur in the morning?'' Lance said softly.
''Yeah'' Gwaine said in a whisper.
They both walked the rest of the way up in silence. They came to the door at the top of the stone building which leads out to the Wall, Lance slowly opened the door.
''Merlin you there?'' Lance questioned.
Seconds after the question Lance froze in place and his eyes widened at the sight before him.
''Lance, hello? are you gonna move or...oh my god!'' Gwaine pushed past Lance and ran over to Merlin.
Merlin stood on the very edge of Camelots wall as he was looking down at the town below.
''Merlin'' said Gwaine in the calmest tone possible not wanting to alarm Merlin ''Can you tell us why its looks like you're going to jump off the wall?'' Lance walked over ready to take over the conversation since Gwaine was being a bit to blunt with a possible suicidal Merlin.
''Things'' he replied instantaneously.
''O-okay, can you tell us what 'things' you are doing Merlin? and do maybe want to come down here, it is dangerous up there'' Lance tried to hide his pleading tone.
''Dangerous, yes, I could fall and die if I was so much as loose my balance'' Merlin spoke in a tone of realization. Lance mentally hit himself for giving Merlin that idea.
''I glad we agree on that'' Gwaine spoke up ''so why dont you do that before it happens mate''
''Not yet'' Merlin replied to the knights disappointment.
Lance walked past Gwaine and walked close to Merlin so if he was going to...do something like jump, he might have a chance of catching him.
''So why don't you tell us what 'stuff' your doing'' spoke Lance.
''i cant'' said in a bitter voice ''you would not understand'' Merlin took a sharp breath as if to keep himself from crying.
Gwaine and lance looked at each other not knowing how to react to what there friend had just said.
''...Merl-'' Gwaine was cut off.
