I wake up slowly. I see stone and a soft orange-yellow light. I turn. I see a fire lit. What happened... where's Snow? Where's everyone? I wince as I try to sit up. I look and I see my chest was bandaged. I feel a hand on my back. I turn.
"Jack." I say.
"It is good that you're up." Jack says.
"Merlin you're awake!" Hans hugs me.
"Ow." I say.
"I did the fine bandaging job." Jack says.
"Thanks." I say.
I look around.
"What happened? How long was I out?" I ask.
"A couple of ours." Jack says.
"Arthur's out scouting and hunting." Hans says.
"So... where are Pino and the others? Snow?" I ask.
"We... got separated after you passed out." Hans says.
"What?" I wince.
I try to stand up. I can't stay down. I have to get up. I have to fix this. She's in trouble. I have to get to her. I have to protect her. The moment I get up on my legs, my head instantly hurt. I almost fall had it not been for Jack.
"Easy Merlin. Easy." Jack says.
"We have to go." I say.
"Oi! Merlin what are you doing standing up?" Arthur comes in.
"Did you bring any food?" Hans asks.
"I managed to catch a bunny." Arthur holds it up.
"Perfect." Hans takes it.
"Arthur did you find the others?" I ask.
He shakes his head.
"We have to go." I try to take a step.
"Wait Merlin." Jack grabs me.
"We have to stop Pasheria!" I yell.
"Merlin, I understand but first you need to eat something. I know I do." Arthur says.
I let out a breath. Come to think of it. I'm starving. Jack helps me back down.
"Don't worry Merlin, this won't take that long." Hans smiles.
