Well here's chapter two, honestly not quite sure where I'm taking this story. Oh well, I just write and words come out forming this. :D haha, hope you enjoy! Sadly enough I do not own Merlin. Anyways, Enjoy!

The meal had ended and I had to drag Arthur to his chambers

"Merlin, you are such a great servant." He muttered in between his hiccups. I continued to help Arthur into his chambers. "Merlin I love you." Arthur almost whispered as if were a secret to only be told to myself, the object of his drunken affections. I laid his intoxicated body on the bed and pulled his sheets over him with a crimson face.

"Thank you Arthur, I love you too. Now go to sleep." I watched his sleepy head leave my arms. He was so peaceful. His head laid so lightly on the pillows and his body fell into a deep slumber. I didn't want to ever leave but Leon had ordered me. I had to go. I either went or I would be punished. I walked across the room to reach the doors.

"Merlin," I heard, turning around Arthur was standing by himself. He walked over to me and embraced my body in a full hug. His squeeze hurt, wrapping around my bruises. I let out a slight moan of pain.

"You're a prat." I whimpered. I let his warmth trasnfer over to my cold body. After awhile he let go.

"Go, you need your rest. That way you can muck the stables in the morning." He joked around. I took his cue and left the chamber. "Good night Merlin." Arthur said as I left the room. I half turned to see him return to his bed.

"Good night Arthur." I quietly said with a smile. Arthur could always do something so simple yet make me smile so largely. When I was with him I almost forgot about my nightly visits to Leon. I left his chambers only to be met by Leon himself. He grabbed my hand roughly and pulled me to his chambers slamming me against the wall. I felt a rough kiss sprawl across my lips and him forcing himself further into my mouth. He had so much strength to where I couldn't move.

"What should we do tonight?'' I could almost fell the smirk float off of Leon's lips and into my ears. I kept quiet and stood there. He began to run his hands over my body and the next thing I knew his anger was getting the best of him. I felt a punch right in my chest. It tightened on me making it hard to breathe. I fell to the ground and heard Leon yell. "Get up, you were late tonight. I have to punish you for such disobedience." He took out his sword. "Let's see," He began in his sinister tone. "Where should I punish you tonight?" He had already had the perfect spot. He flipped the young fragile body and slashed the back. Blood ran down his back and onto the floor. "Merlin, dearie, you know you'll have to clean that up." Leon let him go easy tonight as he had other pleasures which needed to be met. Once Leon was finished pleasing himself on Merlin he let the poor boy go. The blood was easily whipped away when they finished. After the awful night Merlin returned to the chambers of the court physician and went straight to his room.

"Arthur kept you out late." Gaius spoke with much concern in his voice. He knew Merlin had be overworking lately and wanted to watch over him in any way he could.

"I suppose." I answered and turned over in my sheets to finally get a few moments of sleep. Merlin began waking up numerous times from either nightmares or pains running through my body. The morning was like a nightmare it's self. I woke up to extreme pain over my back. I worked through it and put on my shirt covering up my scars. Walking out of my room I saw Gaius sitting at the workbench with two plates of food in front of him.

"Come on your food will get cold."

"Thank you Gaius." We sat in silence for a few more moments.

"Merlin what's wrong? You seem to be in pain often."

"I'm sorry but I've just had some aches and pains, nothing to truly worry over."

"Would you like me to make you some medicine?"

"You can if you like." I said as I scarfed down the rest of food. "I've got to go." I ran out of the room only to make it to an awaken king who was angered with me. "I'm sorry I'm late sire."

"Merlin, why are you late?" I kept quite. He was already clothed and had no appetite for breakfast. Then everything happened so fast I couldn't tell what had happened. Arthur had rushed over to me and pinned me to the ground. My head hit the ground with great force almost knocking me out. Arthur began to strip me. My sight was fuzzy but I could tell the events for they happened to me often. I began to struggle. The one person I trusted most was about to become the new Leon.

"Arthur!" I pleaded. Once all of the clothes were off he stopped. He didn't make a move on me or begin to kiss me with roughness. My eyes were shut so tightly with tears flowing from the sides. Hands moved across my bare skin.

"Merlin," His quite voice whispered. He whipped away my tears and spoke once more. "Open your eyes." There was a still silence. I was scared, unlike with Leon I felt betrayed. I wasn't crying out of pain. I was crying out of sadness."Merlin." He continued to speak.

"Merlin it will all be alright. I need to know, who has done this to you?" I just laid there on the floors of Arthurs chambers. He let me rise off the floor and threw a pair of clothes my way. "You can wear these, but you are not leaving this room until I get a name." Arthur stated in a matter of fact way.
