Guys, this is not a Merther, sorry to burst your bubble, but it's not, so, yeah, that's all I had to say!

Allons-y!

Merlin's POV

The morning after my... Breakdown, I woke up. I didn't open my eyes though, just laid there with my eyes closed, thinking. They were thoughts like...

'Get it together, Merlin!'
'People care about you, stop this'
'Why are you doing this'
'You cried on the King's shoulder'
'Arthur said he cared about you'
'Enough of this'

Finally, I opened my eyes, and Arthur nearly leaped out of his skin. I noticed that he had been watching me, so when I opened my eyes, I startled him.

He smiled slyly. "If you're up for it, there's someone I'd like you to meet."

I just nodded, and Arthur knocked on the table three times, and the door opened.

Gwen and a young child with tufts of blonde hair came in.

"My son, Merlin." He smiled.

I sat up slowly in my bed. "W-what's his name?" I rasped.

Arthur laughed. "Didn't you just hear me, idiot, his names Merlin." He smiled.

I smiled. "T-that's conf-using." I coughed a bit.

Arthur smiled. "We can call him Ronnie while you're around."

I chuckled as the little boy came up to my bed.

"It waa... Meewin!!" He giggled. I too, tried to let out a laugh, but more choked on my own saliva and coughed a couple of times. I lifted my hand and ruffled his blonde hair, it was exactly like Arthur's.

Then a familiar girl with slightly wavy black hair came in.

"Oh! He's up!" She said. Arthur nodded. I knew this girl, but still couldn't figure out where from.

She walked over to Gwen and sat down next to her, bowing her head respectfully. When the girl sat down, Ronnie turned around.

"Fweya!!" He screeched with joy, toddling over to her. It was Freya! Ronnie's nanny.

Freya blushed when she saw me looking at her, but the queen caught my attention.

"I do believe it's time for somebody's nap." She said. "That goes for both Merlins." She laughed.

Arthur nodded giddily in agreement and I somewhat laughed as I laid back down. I soon fell into sleep.

Merlin's Nightmare

I was running through the forest, but I didn't know what from. I jumped over a fallen tree and dodged a couple of thorn bushes. I heard angry yells from behind me, so I put an extra spring in my step.

I came up to a cliff, with a raging river at the bottom. I knew I couldn't jump it, so I turned to face my attackers.

The one thing I never expected came running out of those trees.

Familiar red cloaks surrounded me, angry scowls painted on their faces. Arthur faced me.

"You betrayed us, sorcerer!" He scowled. "We're going to kill you!"

Gwaine came next. "I thought you were my friend, but obviously not, sorcerer!"

Percival and Elyan both said,"You have betrayed Camelot, and you must be killed." They scowled.

Leon and Lance didn't say anything, just scowled at me and held their swords menacingly.

The started closing in, and I got ready for the blade to pierce my chest.

End of Dream

I gasped when I awoke, breathing hard and covered in sweat. Arthur looked at me, his eyes showing obvious confusion.

"Merlin?" He asked me cautiously.

"Just a dream.." I said, still shuddering.

Arthur smiled sadly. "Tell me about it?"

I nodded. "I was running through the woods, being chased. At first I didn't know who it was, but I came to a cliff with this river at the bottom. It was all whitewater rapids, so I couldn't jump. So I waited for my pursuers to attack. And, um.. Well... You, and Lance, Leon, Gwaine, Elyan, and Percival came out. You all had your swords out, and you said things about me, like, I betrayed Camelot, and you called me a sorcerer, but mockingly, like you hated me. Then you closed in, and I woke up before you ran me through." I sniffed.

Arthur just gaped at me. "We would never do that."

I nodded as I laid back down and fell into a dreamless sleep.
