That was close!

Running my hand through my hair I sigh "Do we have any idea where she could have gone?" Everyone shakes their head and Elyan sighs "She could have be anywhere by now, she's been gone two days already." Merlin suddenly bolts up from his seat "Uther is coming." I scowl and grab some maps from my desk laying them out on the table "Merlin, Roland, Erin hide in here." I push a section of the wall revealing a hidden room designed for servants. Quickly shutting the door behind them I un-lock the main one and sit back at the table "We're planning to ambush a group of bandits that we heard about in the village we just helped. They're rumoured to be hiding in the mountains venturing down only for supplies. Ussually killing people in the process."

The door bangs open and my Father walks in followed by a short boy with greasy hair and snakelike eyes that flick around the room "Arthur what are you doing?" I smile "We got word about another group of bandits and are planning how best to stop them." He nods and gives the short boy who I guess is Paris a death stare. He looks down at the ground and walks out of the room. "If I hear one word of you trying to find the traitor then you will meet a worse fate." He leaves slamming the door shut. After a minute Merlin, Roland and Erin re-appear and I smile at Merlin "Thanks for the warning." he nods "That was close. The room is soundproof and Paris is listing at the door."

I sigh "Well we can use the bandits as a cover story, I'm sure we'll run into a group anyway." They all nod and the knights stand "Go, Erin if you don't mind I have a few more questions." she nods and all the knights except Leon leave. "Is there anything she took with her that could be used to define her?" she thinks then nods "A gold bracelet with a sapphire inlaid and a leather necklace with a silver compass on. And her sword has gold laid into the handle which is very intricate." I nod "What other weapons is she carrying?" she smiles "A sword, a bow and arrows and four hunting daggers. But she will buy more when she gets a chance."

She stands and curtseys "I'll take my leave of you sire." I smile slightly and she walks out the room. Merlin walks over to the pile of dirty washing on the floor and starts gathering it together. I turn to Leon "I'm guessing you gave her the necklace?" he nods "I brought it for her in the market the first time she beat me with a sword." he smiles at the memory "Do you think she'll be alright?" I nod "If anyone can survive, Y/N can." he nods "I have some freinds in nearby villages I'll contact them and ask them to send word if anyone sees her." I smile "Thank you." he bows his head and walks out the door closing it lightly.

"Merlin?" he turns "Would it be okay if you moved into the servants quarters connected to my room?" he shrugs "I don't see why not, it would mean I could do chores easier." I smile "It would make me feel better if your nearby. I'm going to bring magic back but until then I want to know your safe." he nods and continues making the bed picking up all the dirty sheets and walking out the room.
