Chapter 3: Chapter 2: Merlin's POV
"Well Giaus what do you think? Is this something we should be concerned about." Leon asked glancing nervously at his king who sat in a chair being examined by Giaus.
"I'm afraid so Sir leon. I can already see the signs of dehydration affecting the king. It must have been a powerful curse for the symptoms to already be showing. His mouth has already gone dry, his hair has lost its sheen, and his skin has become as leather. I am afraid if something is not done soon he will die by tomorrow night."
"Well is there another way of breaking the curse other than a human willingly offering their blood." Percival prompted taking a step toward the king as if to protect him from his fate. Giaus shook his head gazing sorrowfully at the ground.
"I doubt it but I will look. Until than you all should get some rest. I will let you know if I find something." With that he ussered everyone from the room ignoring thd kings scowl at being thrown out. The moment the door was shut he rounded on me a stern expression on his face.
"I know what you are thinking boy and I beg you not to go through with it." I sighed sinking down in a chair by the table, resting my elbows on the wood, head in my hands.
"Its the only way Giaus if I don't do it than the king will die."
"You don't know that there might be another way of breaking the curse." He pleaded walking over to his magic curse books and rummaging through them.
"We both know there isn't. "
"We can at least try." He snapped tossing me a book to look through. Nodding I opened it and began scanning the pages. The sun was just starting to rise when the door burst open admitting a frantic Gwen.
"Giaus come quick its Arthur he has gotten worse." She gasped a terrfied gleam in her eye. Leaping to our feet we raced after Gwen to the kings chambers. Where we found Arthur desperately attempting to chug an entire jug of blood to no avail. None of it was making it past his throat. His eyes were gleaming a bright red as his thirst increased. Giaus attempted to approach him only to be knocked away by a wild Arthur who started pulling at his hair as he was denied yet more blood after trying to down a goblet of blood sitting by the jug. Sighing I steeled myself knowing exactly what I had to do. Walking foreward I asked both Gwen and Giaus to leave Arthur to me. They protested at first. Gwen because she didn't want to leave her husband. Giaus because he didn't want me to sacrifice myself. Yet after I gave thenm each a glare telling them to just trust me they left. Albeit reluctantly.
Taking a deep breath I untied my neckerchief and pulled it off along with my scent blocking necklace. I knew the moment my scent hit him as I found myself pinned to a wall. Arthurs face pressed firmly against my pulse point breathing in the scent of my life blood.
"Merlin. Your a human." He rasped his longing for blood causing his tounge to flick out and trace my neck where his teeth would soon sink in.
"Yes. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, but I was scared. I'm sorry Arthur. I know this isn't the best way to find out your manservant is human but right now you need to drink." He stiffined at this moving slightly away to meet my eyes. We both knew the risk involved if he were to bite me. Humans blood is addicting. No matter what Uther may have thought even royalty wasn't immune. Once he starts he may not be able to stop. I could die.
"Merlin." He whined fear seeping into his voice. Smiling reassuringly at him I tilted my head to the dide esposing my neck as a silent invitation. If Arthur was in his right mind he probably would have put up more of a fight. But obviously the curse was too strong for next thing I know a pair of teeth are sinking into my neck. Lapping up the blood spilling out of the wound. His arms tightened around me as I began to tremble as more and more of my blood was drained. Black dots were appearing in my vision and my legs were shaking worse than a leaf in the wind. Yet I refused to push him away. Not that it would do anything. If this was how I was going to die so be it. I whimpered in pain as he dug his fangs deeper widening the holes. I knew I was nearing the end as my heart began to slow within me my breath coming out in gasps. This was the end I am going to die. I thought closing my eyes and allowing my body to go limp. At least Arthur will survive. I smiled at that my vision finally giving out as I was enveloped by darkness.
