Merlin Fanfiction (Merlin X Oc) (Season 1)

Lancelot

In the woods of Camelot, Aryanna and Merlin were bent down going to pick some herbs for Gaius. She looked at the mushroom that was in Merlin's hand curious until they heard a loud screeching sound. She turned around to a creature scared for a second. The two collapsed to the ground with Merlin's arm over her protectively. They were about to see an end until someone came in starting to fight the beast. "Run! Run!" The person yelled looking at the two. He helped Merlin up while she got up on her own before the three of them ran hiding behind a fallen tree. He looked out, seeing the coast clear before turning to the person.

"It's gone. You saved our lives. I'm Merlin, this is Aryanna." Merlin said, holding his hand out.

"Lancelot." Lancelot introduced before passing out. She looked at his waist seeing him bleeding.

"Merlin.." She said not looking up. He looked at her then at the wound growing worried himself.

The two of them got Lancelot back to Camelot in time so Gaius could fix him. She looked at the man curious thinking to herself. She looked over at Merlin seeing him watching Gaius worried about Lancelot. "How is he?" She asked.

"The wound itself is superficial. The fever will pass. He should be fine in the morning." Gaius answered.

"Good." She said, giving a small smile. She walked off back to her room taking her cloak off placing it on her bed looking out the window.

While Merlin talked to Lancelot for a while, she was in Arthur's chambers getting work done for him. Just as she was about to leave, Merlin walked in looking at her. "Oh hey Arya. Have you seen Arthur?" he asked.

"He went to the training field to work on another son of a knight. I forgot his name." she answered. She went to walk out again until he gently grabbed her arm.

"Stop right there young lady." he told her gently, pulling her back in. She smiled looking at his smiling face.

"Yes?" She asked with a smile.

"Come with me. I want to talk to Arthur." He replied. She smiled as she placed her hand on his chest.

"What if i don't come with you?" She asked, smiling still. He smiled as he thought of something. He went down by her ankle picking her up causing a yelp to come out. She laughed as he walked outside with her over his shoulder.

Once they made it to the field, he placed her down. "There we go." He said looking at her. She rolled her eyes sitting down. He lets out a small laugh as he watches Arthur. As soon as Arthur was finished the three of them walked through the marketplace in the lower town.

"Grummund's the third to fail this month. How am I meant to defend Camelot with rubbish like that?" Arthur complained.

"Well, I think I might be able to help." Merlin answered.

"You, Merlin? You haven't the faintest idea what it takes to become a knight. Courage, fortitude, discipline." Arthur said.

"No, no, no, of course I don't, but I do know someone who does." Merlin replied. She knew what he was thinking about doing. She just stopped where she's at before she turned away starting to walk away.

Once she got back to Gaius's chambers, she sat down waiting for Merlin to return as she helped Gaius with a few things. Once Merlin returned he looked at Lancelot. "Well? Did you speak to him?" Lancelot asked. She looked up at Merlin thinking.

"Yeah, I spoke to him." he answered.

"And?" Lancelot asked.

"And..." Merlin said with a look of disappointment on his face. Lancelot saw it sensing something bad.
