The Unwanted Enemy

Chapter 9

Merlin P.O.V

"Arthur... Arthur?"

I look down at the sleeping King. I swear sometimes I think his ears are just there to make us see that he is a human... So we don't make the mistake to think he is a fatish seal...

"Arthur !"

Still no response .

What should I do.. Mhmm..

I got it!

I find two plates and smile at the newly fixed glass window.

"ARTHUUUR!!" I shout the same second as I throw the plates through the window.

The king jumps out of bed and grab his sword.
He look around the room and at the end his eyes lands on me.

He looks at me suspiciously while I give him a grin.

"Merlin, what did you do?" He narrows his eyes at me as he point at me with his sword.

"Nothing! Absolutely nothing..." I says as I slowly back away from Arthur and towards the door.

The king might be a great King and he is really good on keeping his people safe from all danger, but he can be really stupid.

I close the door and laugh to myself.

One... Two.. Three

"MERLIIIIN!!!"

I laugh as I jog through the halls.

I take a quick look behind me to see if he is following me, but luckily for me he is not.

When I slow down I feel myself step on something slippery. My foot slips under me and my whole body is going down.

I let out a groan as I rub my  left shoulder, because I fell on the side.
I see a shadow on the floor next to me. I turn my head to look who did this and see Gwaine, one of the Knights, laugh his butt of.

"Why did you do that??" I ask as I can't keep myself from smiling at what just happened.

"Sorry, bud! King's orders!" And with that he disappeared.

Ohh, games on Arthur!

"Merlin? Merlin!"

I turn around to see who's shouting out my name. Gwen!

"Hey, how are you doing?" I ask as I walk towards her.

"I met her!"

What is she talking about?
I raise my eyebrow and look at her and she immediately knows I don't understand who she is talking about!

"Freya! I met Freya!"

Freya..

It's been a week since she tried to throw rocks at me.
I looked after her the day after, but she was gone. I was going to search more, but I needed to pay Lady Morgana a little visit. Of course I needed to use magic so she wouldn't recognize me. So I made myself look old. When she saw me she called me Emrys, but I don't know why. Even the druids call me Emrys, but I haven't found out why yet.

"When?! Where?! What did she say?!"

All of these questions starts to float around in my head.

"Merlin! Stop the rambling and listen to me!"

I do as I'm told and shut my mouth.

"In the start she didn't even want to tell me her name, but she gave in. She probably didn't think I knew who she was. We didn't talk about much, but I could she see was struggling. You said she was tense and had this murderous look in the eyes when you was with her, but with me she only seemed sad and she tried to cover it up."

Gwen continued to talk about them, but I blacked out in my own thoughts. Freya is sad and she is having trouble, but she doesn't want me to help her. She was like this when I first met her, but then she wanted my help! Something worse must have happened! She isn't the girl I fell in love with! 

~Flashback ~

"Freya look what I brought you!" I say walking down the stairs to the room she is hiding in.

I turn the corner and she stands up as she sees me coming! Her eyes sparkling with happiness and her smile so wide. I could look at her beauty all day.

"What did you bring?" She asks and look up at me.

I take my hands away from my back so she can see it.

"You brought food!! Thank you, thank you !" She says and jumps a little happy jump. I laugh as I give her the food. She stops jumping and look up at me with a smile.

"What?" I say as I look down at her.

She doesn't answer, but take her tiny arms around my waist and hug me tight.

"I love your laugh" she says after awhile.

I put my arms around her and lift her up in my embrace as I sit down. So she ends up on my lap.
We sit in this position for awhile and talk about everything. We laugh, we cry and we share memories from our past. I learn more about her secret and I tell her about my secret about being a sorcerer.

"The beast went down here!"

Both me and Freya jumps up fast when we hear the voice of guards coming.

"We need to find you somewhere else to be!"

~Flashback over~

"Merlin? Are you even listening to me?" She says and have a little smile plastered on her face as she knew I was thinking of Freya.

"Yeah, sorry! What did you say again?"

"I'm going to wash the Knight caps"

"Yeah sure!"

And with that she walked away. I need to talk to Gaius! Maybe he can help me!
