Hey guys, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry for the late update. I know it's been so long since I last updated. College is really killing me right now and I have a HUGE theater production that's coming up soon. I don't know when I'll update next, but hopefully it will be soon. Don't forget to review and look up my Polyvore to see what clothes Sam is wearing. As for now, please enjoy this chapter.
Also, I don't own anything except my OC Sam.
Early the next morning, it was the day; the day of the battle between Arthur and Valiant. I was too tired to open my eyes because Merlin and I worked all night to try to get that stupid spell to work. My hand was still holding onto Merlin's hand as I was still sleeping on the bed.
I could see hear Merlin mumbling "Bebay odothay arisan quickum."
I swear I thought I heard a growl, but Merlin kept repeating the spell.
"Bebay odothay arisan quickum."
I suddenly woke up when I heard the Rottweiler barking really loudly. Because of that stupid bark, I accidently banged my head with Merlin's.
"Ouch, my head," I mumbled as I rubbed my poor forehead.
"Your head? You mean my head," murmured Merlin.
After rubbing our heads, we looked up to see the stone dog had turned into a real dog.
My eyes widen as I said, "Oh my gosh..."
Merlin smiled as he said, "We did it!"
"It worked," I screamed with excitement.
All of a sudden, the dog started to lunge at Merlin and me. I screamed in fright as Merlin and I rushed out of our bedroom and shut the door behind us. My back was on the door and I was breathing really hard. I looked up to see Gaius enter the room.
"Arthur's fighting Valiant," he said.
"Yeah, we know Gaius," I said.
Merlin said to Gaius, "We're on our way."
"You mean, you're going. I told Arthur I was not going to be there," I said as I crossed my arms.
Merlin turned to look at me like I was insane. "WHAT! Of course you have to come! The spell won't work unless you and I are both there."
I shook my head as I said, "I told Arthur I wouldn't be there when he fights, and I keeping my word."
"Look you have to come and help me. The spell will only work if the two of us does it together."
I raised my eyebrows as I thought 'in the TV show he did the spell by himself. Why does he need me?'
"I don't know."
"Please Sam, just come with me," he pleaded.
I was about to protest again until Gaius said, "Samantha, Arthur and Valiant are fighting right now. Arthur needs you both."
I sighed as I knew I wasn't going to win this argument. "Ok, I'll go."
Merlin smiled at me as he grabbed my hand and we started to run to the door. Merlin paused for a second before saying to Gaius, "Oh, whatever you do, don't go into our room. We'll deal with it later."
As we exited out of the room, I could have sworn I heard the Rottweiler barking. When we ran to the tournament grounds, we saw Arthur and Valiant had already started their fight. As Arthur knocked down Valiant's helmet off, Arthur removed his helmet and both of them pulled down their mail coifs. I gasped when Valiant knocked Arthur to the ground and Valiant stepped on Arthur's shield. I looked at Merlin to see he was nervous for Arthur as well, but was also calculating when we should do the spell. Valiant pinned Arthur against the wall, however Arthur shoved him off.
"It's time," Merlin said to me.
I grabbed Merlin's hand as we said together, "Bebay odothay arisan quickum."
I felt my eyes turning hot as the snakes on Valiant's shield came to life and slithered down to the ground. The whole crowd stood up and was in completely in shock. I was smirking to myself to see Valiant was freaking out. That's what you get for trying to attack me.
"What are you doing? I didn't summon you," Valiant cried out to his pets.
Uther was in complete astonishment to see the snakes were real and that Merlin, Arthur, and I were right all along.
"He is using magic," Uther said.
I looked at Arthur to see him looking at Valiant with a smirk on his face.
"And now they see you for what you really are," said Arthur.
Arthur smirked vanished when Valiant started to chuckle devilish. My heart dropped when I heard what Valiant commanded his snakes to do.
"Kill him!"
I was freaking out as I saw the snaked advancing to Arthur. I placed my hand on my mouth and my other hand was gripping on Merlin's arm. Arthur started to back up toward the stands as the snakes got closer to him.
"Arthur!"
I looked up at the stands to see Morgana throwing a sword to Arthur. He caught the sword, swings it and killed the snakes. Valiant tries to defend himself, but Arthur disarmed him. Valiant gasped in pain when Arthur ran his sword in him.
I couldn't hear what Arthur said to Valiant but I remembered from the show he said "It looks like I'll be going to the feast after all." However, I could have sworn I saw Arthur said something else too. As Valiant dropped dead, the crowd started to cheer for their Prince.
I let go of Merlin's arm as I whispered, "I have to go. I can't let Arthur know I was here."
Merlin looked at me with a concern look before nodding his head. I knew he would understand. I squeezed his arm before I started to walk away. Little did I know, one blonde hair prince was watching me leave as he had a disappointed look on his face.
Later that night, it was the big celebration for the champion, aka Arthur. Merlin convinced me to go to the feast. I was wearing my light blue dress with long white sleeves. Everyone was mingling and waiting for their champion to arrive.
As I walked back to Merlin, after I said hello to Gwen, I suddenly heard Uther announcing, "My honorable guests, I give you Prince Arthur, your champion."
The whole court applauded for Arthur as he entered the room all high and proud. He walked over to Morgana and offered Morgana his arm. Morgana curtsied and accepted his arm.
I was watching them when I heard Merlin said, "See, I told you he gets all the girls and the glory."
"Not all the girls," I answered.
Gaius smiled at us as he said, "He owes it all to you both."
I smirked to myself as I realized once again Merlin AND I saved Arthur's life. I looked up to see Morgana storm off to talk to Gwen. I'm guessing she and Arthur already had their fight about Morgana saving his life or not. I nearly held my breath when Arthur walked up to us.
"Hello Samantha, glad to see you."
I looked down at my feet as I mumbled, "Hello your highness."
"I didn't see you at the tournament."
"I did tell you I wouldn't go," I said as I continue to stare at my feet.
"However, I did see you with Merlin and you walked away when I won."
My head shot up to see Arthur with a smug look on his face. Oh my gosh, he knew I was there the whole time! Merlin must have known I was uncomfortable and in shock so he said to Arthur, "What happened to you and Lady Morgana?"
Arthur rolled his eyes as he said, "She says she saved me. Like I needed any help." I had to resist rolling my eyes at that comment. I mean hello, Merlin and I saved you too! Arthur looked at us with a grim look as he said, "I wanted to say I made a mistake. It was unfair to sack you."
"No kidding," I murmured.
Merlin elbowed me in the ribs trying to make me shut up.
"No, don't worry about it. Buy us a drink and call it even," said Merlin.
"Uh, I can't be seen to be buying drinks for my servants," Arthur said.
I pretended to be in shock when I heard him. "Say what now?"
Merlin started to grin as he said, "Your servants? You sacked us."
"Now I'm rehiring both of you."
Merlin snorted as I said, "Really, you're hiring both of us back?"
Arthur smirked as he said, "Of course, my chambers are a complete mess. My clothes need washing. My, uh, armor needs repairing. My boots need cleaning. My dogs need exercising. My fireplace needs sweeping. My bed needs changing. And someone needs to muck out my stables…"
I groaned as I laid my head on Merlin's back. Arthur is seriously going to kill us with all this work. I guess that's life in the TV show of "Merlin."
And there you have it! That's the end of the episode "Valiant." Up next is the episode "The Mark of Nimueh." I don't know when I'll be able to update, but it will be soon… hopefully lol. Don't forget to review and until next time.
