Merlin slowly falls in love with Arthur, and can't take the constant pain of seeing him with Gwen every day. What will happen when Merlin quits his job as servant to the king due to feelings getting in the way?

Merlin offers to sacrifice himself in the place of his King. After being wounded, the Knights and his King rally round to support their best friend, their brother.

Now that his father is gone, he must take the throne from his uncle and save a kingdom he has always held dear. But saving a kingdom is harder than it seems, and Merlin is running out of time.

This is a fanfiction about Merlin. Arthur and merlin were just on a hunting trip when bandits kidnapped merlin. Arthur is devastated. He is willing to do anything to get merlin back. But then a army attacked Camelot. Merlin isn't himself and he puts the one he loved in danger. Arthur has to stop merlin but how? this is after season 5 but with a different ending and Arthur doesn't know merlin has magic. It's about how merlin turned against Arthur. (English is not my first languages so forgive me for the spelling mistakes.)

IF YOU READ THE DESCRIPTION IT MAY GIVE SOME STUFF AWAY. It's a one shot filled with a pained Arthur. Merlin is his only relief but will he be there in Arthur's greatest time of need? I do NOT own Merlin.
