Kidnapping the Heroes

chapter 3

We had our first victim! I was so excited. Percy would be unconscious until we had gotten all the others. Next up was Merlin. Man, all the people we were kidnapping hot and awesome heroes. I guess I had good taste. Next up was Merlin, and I decided that sending Morgana would be enough, considering we would strike when he was with Arthur, and Morgana knew about his magic. We were going to where Morgana wasn't dead, and I may or may not have told her that Merlin was Emyrs. This was gonna be totally awesome!

The woods of Camelot-

Merlin was hunting with his royal clotpole, King Arthur. Apparently, Arthur had been bored, and with Gwen out of town, he needed something to do. So he gathered up Merlin and headed out to the woods. They had not found anything yet, and Merlin was still tired from working late last night. They were wandering aimlessly around when they heard a twig snap in the distance. They both froze. It sounded too heavy to be an animal, it must've been a person. Arthur slowly drew his sword, waiting for another sound. Merlin had grabbed a log and was holding it in front of him. Then a shadow emerged in front of them both. It was Morgana.

"Why hello, brother. I see you have your friend Merlin with you. That's really the only reason I bothered to come. I promised a friend that I would be the one to get him, and I must say I am rather enjoying myself." She said, smirking at the end.

"Morgana," Arthur snarled, "you will not be taking Merlin anywhere." He raised his sword in front of him, and stepped between Merlin and Morgana. Merlin stood there, surprised. Who would want him? What friend did Morgana have? It was all so confusing, he did not see that Arthur was being choked to death by an invisible force, courtesy of Morgana.

"Merlin, come with me and I won't kill Arthur, no matter how much I want to." She clenched her fist tighter, and the invisible force choking Arthur did as well. Arthur was slowly turning blue, stuttering for air. Merlin had no choice. He couldn't use magic, not in front of Arthur. He hung his head and stepped forward, showing surrender. She unclenched her fist and Arthur fell to the ground, panting heavily. Morgana muttered a spell, and invisible men dragged Merlin towards Morgana, where she proceeded to pull out a pair of shackles. He looked at them with surprise and fear. He recognized the cuffs from his magic book. They blocked out all magic abilities while the warlock wore them. He looked up at Morgana in shock and she looked at him with a frightening smile.

"My friend told me about your little secret, Emyrs." She whispered the last part, taunting him. He stood there, dumb-strucked, while she put the cuffs on him. Arthur was on his knees now, still breathing heavily and watching Merlin. Merlin was now struggling to get loose from the invisible men that seemed to be holding him, and Arthur got up to help. But Morgana simply waved her hand, and Arthur was pushed back. Merlin shouted out, only to have a gag tied around his mouth. Arthur watched helplessly as his friend was dragged into the woods, struggling, while Morgana laughed at the pair of them, before there was a brilliant flash, and Merlin and Morgana dissappeared. Arthur was able to move now, but stood frozen in place, but one thing was for certain.

He certainly was not bored anymore.
