This chapter was written as a gift for mersan123 it was initially supposed to be a late New Year's present but for reasons I wasn't able to write it on time. And since the next holiday was Valentine's Day and I was posting another story (Merthur) today too I decided to post them both on the same day. Happy Valentines!

"Merlin?"

"…William?" Merlin breathed in.

Arthur looked in between the two boys back and forth. William? Arthur looked at Merlin with a questioning look. "Wait, you know him?"

"Will!" Merlin shouted ignoring Arthur completely.

Ok, so he more than knows him…apparently… Arthur thought as a huge smile appeared across Merlin's face. Merlin hesitated for a moment before he decided o in and ran towards the guy but as he did he suddenly collided with an invisible wall before he could actually go near him. Will looked at Merlin puzzled and walked slowly towards the spot where Merlin had stopped.

"What's wrong?" Arthur asked just as puzzled looking around in confusion. He too walked towards the invisible wall and touched it, then placed his hand on it and then he tried to punch it, once, twice, three times "Arthur!" Merlin yelled at him sounding angry. "Stop it you are going to hurt yourself!"

Then he just had about enough. "You see that's one thing I don't get! What do you care?!" Arthur shouted at him. Merlin stared at him without saying a word for a long second and just when he was about to open his mouth Arthur cut him off. "You see, everything was fine just fine until you showed up a week and a half ago! In less than a month I have been 'saved' by you what? Two times already? It`s like wherever you go there is trouble-" Arthur`s gaze then shifted to the cat ears that Merlin was still wearing and he cleared his throat. "Can you take those off?" Arthur gestured to his car ears and tail.

Merlin's eyebrow was twitching and he looked annoyed. "Why? Do they bother you?"

"What the hell are you wearing Merlin?!" Will then shouted incredulously as if he had just noticed them. "It's called a costume Will…"

"Yeah, they bother me a lot." Arthur responded.

"Why?"

"Can't you just take it off?"

"No."

"I can't take you seriously with those on…"

"I went to great lengths to please Morgana. I`m not taking these off. Even if you pay me."

Merlin turned when he heard a gagging noise come from beside him. Will was been getting approached by the shadows that had been there since the very beginning, those fucking- He then saw red when Will started to fall down on the floor and it seemed to go down in slow motion.

Arthur was as you would think freaking out about what was happening and screaming for help. He on the other hand knew that that was just wasting time. He was panicking because just from touching the wall he knew it had been put there for display. This wasn't like all the other times the shadows did something, this time they were just showing him what they would do. It was a warning and a very gruesome one. Will was starting to get hugged by the shadows and as he did a bit, then more and more blood started coming out of his mouth, ears and eyes. He was becoming a red very red mess.

And all Merlin could do was stand there and watch.

It was a message: "This is what we can do and this what we will do, if you keep on standing on our way of getting what we want." They were going to do that to everyone he knew, had known and met if he kept of being by Arthurs side. That's all they wanted to say and they were going to kill Will as an example…

"No…" Merlin whispered tears threatening to fall from his eyes. He didn't want any of this things to happen…to anyone. Will didn't deserve it but he wasn't going to give up Arthur either. Gaius told his something and if any of it was true and as for now he didn't have any reason to believe otherwise the whole world depended on this. So if his friend had to die for the sake of it then so be it, he could handle emotional pain and physical pain and even torture, hell he had…

But, not Will not like this. Will didn't deserve to die at all! "NOO!" Not like his mom not like Gaius…no…

Merlin screamed from the top of his lungs and suddenly the invisible wall broke down and it fell on the floor like crystal.
