Well this is it. Chapter three, I reread my first two chapters and saw so many errors. For that I am deeply sorry. Also I misspelled Mordred's name, GAH stupid me. I am truly sorry for all the errors. Anyways, I hope you enjoy. Thank you for all the reviews and favorites and yeah. Sadly I do not own Merlin. Enjoy!
A name was all he needed. If only I could have muttered the name. We stayed in the room just watching each other, daylight had passed. Gaius came to learn of Merlin's whereabouts. He left with much more knowledge than he wanted to leave with. Gaius would come back later with a pain killing remedy for Merlin to drink. Merlin and Arthur were quite the whole day when the night came upon them Arthur finally spoke.
"I'm serious Merlin. I'm not letting you leave until you tell me who has done this to you."
"I figured that out when you ordered another servant to get us food through your guards. "
"Merlin why won't you just say the name?"
"It's not important Arthur." That was the first time in about a week I had called him by his name and not sire. It was the first time I didn't have to get yelled at to call him his name. It was almost like we had bonded all over again. After all he finally knew my biggest secret.
"I beg to differ, Merlin, this is important." He watched my movements in the chair, as he lied on the bed. It was getting dark and I was still unable to leave. Leon arrived at Arthur's chambers later in the night looking for me.
"Sorry Leon, but could you possibly use a different servant tonight? I have a bone to pick with Merlin." Leon nodded and left once he got his say.
"Just don't hurt Merlin; he gets enough of that as it is."
"He knew?" Arthur questioned me. I nodded, of course the source would know. Leon was called back to Arthur's chambers and the two of them talked outside. I heard the mumbles of Leon blaming my unknown bruises on Mordred. Arthur left and Leon walked in.
"I'm to take care of you until King Arthur returns. Mordred is going to get all punishment he deserves don't you worry, Merlin, you are finally going to get redemption." He was smiling the whole time. I heard those words and the sound pierced my ears. Mordred was going to take the fall for Leon. I couldn't allow it. I ran to the door and followed Arthur. Leon yelled out to me that it was pointless. Even so, I had to try. I found Mordred in the cells. I stayed by his door.
"Oh Mordred." He was terrified. His sea blue eyes looked at me.
"Merlin," He whimpered with a smile. "you're here. I had no idea about your pain, I'm sorry for all the times I hit you. I never knew. I might as well be in here too." I looked at him.
"Mordred," I said. "you do not. I will get you out of here. Where is Arthur?"I almost yelled, after hitting the door of his jail cell.
