Hi, it's MerlinPsych! Thank you so much for reading this! This first chapter is a little weird, I'm sorry. I needed an excuse to send Merlin to meet up with Shawn. No Psych until the third chapter, really...
Merlin cringed as Arthur came towards him with a glare obvious on his face, "Merlin! Where have you been?! You haven't done any of your chores!"
Merlin. A voice boomed in his head, making him instinctively hold his oversized ears. It was the dragon. Again.
"Merlin! Listen!" cried Arthur, out loud, "What is WRONG with you today?! You're such an IDIOT!" Arthur punched him in the shoulder, hard.
Merlin shook his head, rubbing his shoulder, briefly confused by the mix of verbal and telepathic communication. "OW!"
"WELL?!" Arthur said, impatiently.
"I uh… I've been… in the tavern." Merlin muttered, annoyed that he couldn't think up a better excuse for his lack of work while he lay with an enormous headache trying to ignore the Great Dragon. He hadn't shut up for weeks, and had been quite a jerk as of late, telling him he was a failure for letting Mordred survive and for telling Arthur that there was "No place for magic in Camelot." Merlin had had his reasons for this, but even without the dragon's accusations, it was tearing him apart…
"AGAIN?!" Arthur shouted, "We really have to get you over this drinking problem!"
"It's not actually that," Merlin said quickly, "I've just been kind of sick, that's all. That and the fact that for the umpteenth time, my girlfriend has been taken out of the picture with a death sentence…" Merlin was truly annoyed and upset that Sefa, who had seemed so nice, was just another traitor.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Arthur asked more quietly, but with an irritated edge to his voice, and Merlin flinched, imaging those same words being said if he were ever to tell Arthur the real truth. Of course, in that situation, he would be so much angrier… and Merlin would soon be killed anyways.
"I was afraid you would be upset… like now." Merlin was aware that it was a lame excuse, but Arthur wasn't the brightest, and at least this excuse didn't make him sound like a drunk with bladder problems.
MERLIN! GET OUT HERE! IT'S IMPORTANT! Came the dragon's telepathic voice.
I'm kind of BUSY, Merlin thought back, angrily, and you seem to forget that I'M the dragonlord and not YOU.
"Well, that's still no excuse!" Arthur shouted, obviously feeling like he'd been too sympathetic previously, "If you'd only come to work, I could have told you that we have to leave Camelot again-"
MERLIN!
"Merlin! LISTEN to me! This is important!"
"Merlin!" cried Gaius, entering the room, "You forgot to clean the leech tank!
"MERLIN! We have to get going it's-"
MERLIN! Get out here NOW!
"MERLIN! The leeches-"
"Merlin, we have to save-"
MERLIN!
"MERLIN!"
"MERLIN!"
"STOP!" Merlin screamed, "LEAVE ME ALONE! ALL OF YOU!" He bolted down the corridors and out of the castle, with his headache even worse than before. When he wasn't doing chores for Arthur, he was doing chores for Gaius, or following his destiny, or saving Arthur from some random threat, or watching as someone else he loved died, or betrayed him… It was too much! Too much…
"MERLIN! I AM YOUR MASTER AND I ORDER YOU TO TELL ME WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON AND GET BACK HERE OR SO HELP ME I WILL PUT YOU IN THE STOCKS AND-"
Merlin put a quick silence spell in place.
It couldn't silence the dragon.
Oh, good. Come on, it's about Aithusa! She- she- she's run away!
I already KNEW that! She's joined Morgana!
WHAT?! How could you let this HAPPEN?! NO WONDER SHE'S DESTROYING EALDOR!
NO! SHE CAN'T BE! And how is this MY fault?! YOU were the one watching her!
BUT YOU'RE A DRAGONLORD! YOU COULD HAVE STOPPED HER!
I didn't know!
YOU ARE A FAILURE AS A DRAGONLORD, A SORCEROR, AND A PERSON! AITHUSA'S GONE EVIL, ARTHUR'S ALWAYS NEARLY GETTING KILLED, MORDRED IS ALIVE AND IN CAMELOT, YOU SPOKE OUT AGAINST MGIC, YOU'VE LET HUNDREDS OF TRAITORS INTO CAMELOT, AND YOU CAN'T EVEN HOLD DOWN A GIRLFRIEND WITHOUT HER GETTING KILLED, BEING EVIL, OR BOTH! I SHOULD JUST TAKE AWAY YOUR MAGIC NOW!
I WISH YOU WOULD! I HATE MY DESTINY! I HATE CAMELOT! I HATE YOU!
YOUNG WARLOCK, YOU WOULD BE DEAD IF IT WEREN'T FOR-
In his distress, Merlin let go of the silence spell.
"MERLIN!" Arthur's voice roared from behind him.
Something heavy hit the side of his head with a loud clang, and he fell to the ground. "ARTHUR!" He shouted, picking up a metal helmet, "What was THAT for?!"
"Merlin!" cried Gwaine, racing towards him, "I'm so sorry! I just got the news!"
"What news?!" Arthur yelled impatiently.
"His mother was just killed… by Morgana and a white dragon."
Everyone went silent. Merlin was unable to help it; he broke down and started crying.
"Oh. I-I'm sorry, Merlin." Arthur said quietly. He must have been, he didn't even call Merlin a girl.
"I'm so sick of it- of all of it!" He gasped, "I can't take much more of this!"
"Of what?" asked Arthur, confused, as Gaius sympathetically shook his head.
Your fault…. Kilgarrah thought.
You know what- Forget all this! I'm fed up! I'm out of here!
You can't do that. Kilgarrah thought calmly.
Watch me!
Merlin sprinted away from the crowd, who let him go, off into the forest. Once he was sufficiently far away from the others he cried out the only spell he knew could free him from all this- "Oreo!"
His eyes glowed gold and he disappeared.
NO! Kilgarrah roared, MERLIN! COME BACK!
And there's my "Oreo" spell! :) I think you'll see them in many of my fics, especially crossovers. Please review and tell me what you think. Is it good? Is it interesting? Is it funny? Is it annoying? Is it lame? (I hope not... :( (: ) Thanks again! Don't be a gooey chocolate chip cookie!
