Merlin's scars *discontinued*

Part 5

Merlin's POV

"I didn't think you'd care, I'm a SEVING boy for god's sake, and besides, I need money to live, and to get money I need to work" I say sternly.

"DIDN'T THINK WE'D CARE!? MERLIN HOW COULD YOU THINK SUCH A THING!" Gwain yelled, with a cross between an angry and a hurt expression.

He was my friend. He was my real friend. He wasn't just pretending, and he wasn't trying to play a joke on me. He was my friend. I look around, and I see that all the knights, and even Aurther had a mimicked expression.

"We'll get to that later, for now, wile I'm still excepting questions, please ask" I say masking as many emotions as possible, wile at the same time trying too bury my feeling deep inside, this just makes me want to tell them more! I felt scared that I had to explain to them my scars, I was happy that they actually cared about me, I felt that this whole situation was going to take a very bad turn if they ask about a certain few scars.

"The gashes at your side, and wile we're at it, the ones on your neck" Perceval says, wanting his curiosity to be fulfilled, but you know what they say, curiosity killed the cat, but I don't think being satisfied would help much,......honestly it'd be kicking the poor dead cat

"Ok, the gashes at my side are sward marks, they came from a few run ins with bandits, and before you ask why I didn't say something, Leon, Elyon, and Perceval were also hurt, so you all had enough on your hands, and the scar on the back of my neck, is from a serket, and yes I'm sure it was a serket, but Ghias knew I had a knack for trouble, so he had extra ointment just in case, and the one on the front of my neck is where Morgana's men held the sward to my throat, when I was on my way to visit my mom and this one on the side that overlaps both of them is a creature of magic that morgana used to try to control me " Merlin says quickly. He takes a deep breath afterwards, because he is extremely out of breath, before he decides to continue, it was about 9 o'clock at this moment, "and I will continue my explanation tomorrow, because we still have another day, and it's late, and I actually want sleep." Merlin gets up and walks back a few feet to retrieve his bedroll, and went under a tree to go to sleep, but the knights stay up to talk a little.

"How could we let this happen" Leon says in a solemn voice, that is full of emotion.

"Merlin's always kept to himself, that's just who he is " Elyon says with his head hung.

Every few hours or so, the knights and king switch positions on lookout duty, but none of them actually payed attention to there surroundings, every single one of them watched their sleeping raven haired friend throughout their shift. And even when it wasn't their turn, nobody got much sleep that night.

Holy crap this is longer than usual!
