AM I THE ONE? | Arthur Pendragon [1]

Merlin... Don't.

*Annabelle's P.O.V.*

"Annabelle... Annabelle..." I opened my eyes, groaned. My mind must be playing tricks on me, because I could have sworn that I heard a voice calling my name. I turned around, and saw Merlin awake too. I smiled at him.
"Good morning." I said quietly, and he turned to look at me.
"Good morning." he answered quietly with a smile. Then, he got out of bed, and walked behind the screen. I closed my eyes, and turned to lay on my back. I was thinking about the strange voice, and that's when I heard the door open, and close. I opened my eyes, and saw that the room was empty. Merlin must have already left for breakfast, so I got out of bed and grabbed my bag from the floor. I looked through my cloths, when I found a perfect dress for today. I always sewed my own clothes, because we din't have money to buy the dresses that look really nice, and I absolutely love clothes. So I decided to just get a cheap material and sew it so that it will look nice and expensive. I went behind the screen, and got dressed. Then, I walked over to the mirror on the wall, and did my hair. Then, I slipped on my shoes, and walked out of the room.
"Well, we better keep you out of trouble. You can help me until I find some payed work for you." I heard Gaius say, and I looked up, only to see Merlin wiping the floor, and Gaius carrying two potions in his hands. I wonder why the floor is wet. "Here. Holy-Hocken feverfiew for Lady Percival, and this is for Sir Olven. He's as blind as a weevil, so warn him not to drink it all at once." He said, placing the two potions on the table. We nodded in understanding. "And here." He said, giving each of us a sandwich. "Off you go." He said, motioning to the door. We smiled at him, and then I grabbed the feverfiew for Lady Percival, and Merlin grabbed the potion for Sir Olven. "And Merlin, Anna! I need heart to tell you that the practice of any form of enchantments will get you killed." We nodded. Then, we walked out the door together.
Once we got to the main hall, I went to the left, and Merlin went to the right. I saw a guard patrolling the corridor, so I went up to him.
"Excuse me? Where can I find Lady Percival?" I asked politely, and he smiled at me.
"You have to go all the way to the end of this corridor, and then turn left. It's the second door on the right." He explained, and I smiled at him.
"Thank you."
"Your welcome. Always here to help beautiful ladies such as yourself." He said, and I blushed slightly. I nodded at him one more time, and then I took the path that he told me to, and after a minute or two of walking, I reached the door of Lady Percival's chambers. I knocked softly on the door, and waited for about 30 seconds until the door opened. I looked up and saw a woman in her 50's, in a beautiful golden gown. She smiled warmly at me, and I smiled back and curtsied.
"Hello, Lady Percival. Gaius sent me to give you this feverfiew." I explained, and she nodded in understanding.
"Oh yes! Thank you. May I ask what's your name?" She asked me politely, and I smiled. She reminded me of a sweet Grandmother that I always wanted to have. Unfortunately my only Grandmother died couple of years ago.
"My name is Annabelle."
"A beautiful name, for a beautiful young lady. Thank you, Annabelle." She said, and I nodded, curtsied, and then left.
I walked out on the courtyard, and then out through the castle gates. I decided to do a little exploring, since I'm going to live here from now on. Right outside the castle gates, I saw my brother talking to a young man with blonde hair and blue eyes. I immediately knew that he was in trouble. Typical. First day in a new place, and he already got into trouble. I walked towards them to be able to hear the conversation.
"Tell me, Merlin. Do you know how to walk on your knees?" The blonde man asked my brother in a daring tone.
"No." My brother replied in a pretty sassy tone.
"Would you like me to help you?" The man asked with a smirk on his face.
"I wouldn't if I were you." Merlin said in a threatening tone. The man snickered.
"Why? What're you gonna do to me?" He teased.
"You have no idea." Merlin replied in a threatening tone. The man chuckled, and I stepped closer.
"Be my guest!" The man exclaimed. "Come on. Come on. Come oooooonnn!" He taunted, and I saw my brother get irritated.
"Merlin... Don't." I whispered to myself, but it was too late. He threw a punch at the man, but he quickly dodged it twisted his arm to the back. "Oh, no."
"I'll get you in jail for that." The man said, and my brother got even more irritated.
"Who do you think you are, the King?!" He exclaimed, and I saw the man tighten his grip on my brother's arm.
"No I'm his son... Arthur." He hissed in Merlin's ear, but I still heard it. Merlin's face turned into shock, and I'm pretty sure mine did as well. Arthur kneed my brother in his knees, and he fell on the ground. He then motioned for two guards to come over, and when they did, he literally threw Merlin at them. They grabbed him, and then dragged him somewhere. I'm guessing to the cells. I walked over to Arthur, and when he saw me along with his knights, all of their expressions turned from smirks, to astonishment. I don't understand why. Arthur then stepped forward.
"And who might you be?" He asked in a rude but flirtatious tone. I faked a smile in his direction, because I really didn't want to end up like my brother.
"I'm Annabelle. Merlin's sister." I hissed the last part, and his expression turned back to shock. I don't know why. Maybe he couldn't believe that I'm Merlin's sister. Whilst they were in shock, I just faked another smile, curtsied, and left to go get Gaius and see if he could do anything about this.
