It was silent in the little farm house. Arthur had just told his parents that he had become king. We were all sitting around a table listening to the heart break of his family. Yes they were his adopted ffamily but it was the only one he's known. "I knew this day would come " his father sighed. "But this soon. Arthur this is your destiny. We've known this since you met Merlin." He looked down trying to fight tears.
"Dad..." Arthur took his dad's hand. I sat next to Jasper who sat in awe of this heart touching moment.
"I'm sorry, to interrupt but what's going on?" We all followed the voice to see a shirtless man, dirty and sweaty. His eyes locked on Merlin with anger. "What have you done worlock!" I saw Merlin slump his shoulders.
"He did nothing." I said quietly.
I got a galre. "Who are you his witch?" Merlin and I locked eyes then took a look at Arthur who was shaking his head.
"She is to be my queen Kay." He smirked making me blush.
"Arthur Pendragon!!" I yelled hiding my face. He erupted in laughter.
"Or atleast I am trying."
Jasper stood up and went to Kay. "So you are Kay?" He looked him up and down. "He looks nothing like Kacey." He snarled.
"No way?" I rolled my eyes. "Sit down Jasper." He glared at me. "You're making a fool of yourself. " He let out a breath but sat down. What the hell is wrong with him?
"My apologies." Jasper said. Placing a hand on his leg I sent a warmth through him to calm him down.
Merlin smiled at Kay who flared his nostrils. I offered my hand to him "your brother is safe Kay." He looked at me and I studied his face. He had a sharp nose and jaw line, his hair a mess of dark waves and sweat, his eyes blue like the sky. He was gorgeous for a soon to be knight. He took my hand into his rough hard working hand.
"You are different. " he pointed out.
"All in good time, Sir." I smirked at his embarrassed blush.
"Just Kay, sir is for knights." He had a flash of jealousy in his eyes.
"I know" a smirk played on my lips. "Sir Kay, you're going to be important to your brother more now than ever." He met my eyes with curiosity.
"She's right, now that your brother is king you got to keep an eye on him. " Their father agreed. Jasper groaned, he looked like he was getting pale.
Arthur hugged his brother, "come with us to Camelot, be a knight. " the boys looked over at their parents who were smiling with pride. A nodd and a laugh came from them. I smiled seeing how happy Arthur was.
Merlin and I went outside to get some air. I pulled out the little pink bottle and debated on if I should use it or not. I sighed thinking how happy we could be. Should I do it? I thought.
"You love him don't you?" Merlin stated.
"It can't be..." I sniffed "even if it I were to stay I would mess everything up." Tears filled my eyes. Damn it Zyanne. Merlin took my hand then pulled me into a hug. A hug that felt like home.
"I'm sorry. I don't have an answer for this riddle love. " he's right. I started to cry silently.
"Hey! What are you two doing out here?" Kay snuck out to see us hugging. Shit. "Aren't you Arthur's girl?"
"My name is Zyanne. Not Arthur's girl. " I let go of Merlin and looked at him. "Is the king ready?" I didn't want to say his name.
"Just about, that boy is helping him." He was looking between Merlin and me. "You got what you wanted worlock." There was a hidden threat behind his words.
"It is what Camelot wants, Kay, not what I want. " the same venomous threat. I felt the air thicken.
"Alright I'm ready!" Arthur hopped out the door and planted a kiss on my lips.
"HEY! " Merlin growled as Jasper came out. "Damn it all Arthur!" Arthur laughed at the upset wizard.
"Jealous Merlin? " he wiggled his brows.
"Not at all my king, " he grabbed my hand and dipped me as if we were dancing, "because I can do this."
I looked at Jasper who was leaning up against the wall with his hand over his eyes. His breath was getting ragged and pink. I was lifted back up and my attention was brought back by someone saying my name.
"Zyanne, did you hear me?" Heat rushed to my face. Merlin blinked at me, "are you okay love?"
"Yeah sorry." I took a pill out of my bag and handed it to Jasper. He took it and put it in his mouth. He thanked me with a small smile.
"We should get going," his voice cracked, "so we can make it before the rain." We all agreed said goodbye to those who raised Arthur, then left to Camelot.
