The soldier from barley part 17

Gwaine waited and waited for the swords to enter him so he would be with Merlin.

But nothing happened.

He looked down at Merlin and kissed him several times.

"I love you….i love you, please, please don't be dead…you can't…..you just….cant be…please merlin….don't die…don't…don't LEAVE ME!" he wailed and kissed him passionately, breaking off sobbing.

"Merlin!...Merlin!!!!" He cried and hugged tightly on him, breaking as he held him close.

"Gwaine….?" Arthur asked.

The knight went quiet.

"You did this….you…did….this…." Gwaine hissed.

"What…?" Arthur breathed, taking a step back.

"He…….was enchanted….Gw…" Merlin mumbled quietly.

Gwaine looked down.

"……Merlin….?" Gwaine called, eyes wide.

He saw a small smile on Merlin's lips and oh so slowly he opened his eyes, hooded.

His colour drained.

"Merlin…" Arthur called and kneeled beside him.

Gwaine glared at him.

"Gwaine….it's okay…" Merlin said, smiling lovingly at him.

"Merlin…." Arthur gulped and the man slowly turned to him.

"Glad…your back…." Merlin smiled.

Arthur turned to see his sword bloody.

He felt sick.

"Merlin……Merlin I'm sorry…" Arthur breathed, eyes wide with shock.

"It's …..alright…." Merlin smiled weakly, holding Arthur's shoulder, the man held Merlin's arm tightly.

"No, Merlin, I don't care if he was enchanted, you shouldn't forgive him so easily…" Gwaine piped in.

"Gwaine…." Merlin said and turned to him.

"I….it's…." He suddenly stopped, his eyes widened in fear.

"Gwaine…." He gasped, suddenly his eyes rolled in the back of his head.

"Merlin!!" Gwaine cried and shook him.

"Merlin!!!" He cried again and the man opened his eyes, quiet, he slowly looked at him.

"Gwaine…help me…." He whispered and the man looked at Arthur who nodded and they lifted Merlin up with care and carried him over to the horses with haste.
