Merlin POV

The sun shone through the window and onto my face. I yawned loudly and stretched, i had only had about 2 hours sleep at best. The nightmares had returned. Yawning once again i got out of bed and got changed. I plodded down the steps and sat on the table. A bowl of porridge was sat there and a note from Gaius which was mainly about him getting some herbs for a remedy.

I looked at the un appetising bowl of porridge in front of me, i stood up and decided to go hungry, i'll grab something from the kitchens. I decided to go and see if Arthur was awake, i'll be early for a change. I wandered down the corridors in no particular rush "Hi Merlin!" waved Gwaine

"Hi Gwaine." i replied

"You, ok? You look quite rough." asked Gwaine

"Thanks for that Gwaine! No, i didn't really sleep properly last night." i admitted. He slapped me on the back cheerfully

"Get better soon, mate." said Gwaine. I nodded and carried on my journey to Arthur's chambers. I quietly opened the door and to my suprise Arthur was up and actually dressed.

"Aah Merlin." said Arthur, i felt an underlying tone of annoyance in his voice. "Been busy?"

"Umm, No?" i replied, unsure of my answer

"So, you didn't have time to get my table fixed?" he stated

"Sorry Arthur i was going to but-" i began

"You are the laziest servant i know Merlin." spat Arthur angrily. I looked down at my feet. Arthur huffed loudly.

A WHILE LATER -----

I poured the water into Arthur's bath, he hadn't been in a good mood all day. I turned away and he got into the bath "Merlin, this is FREEZING!" He shouted

"S-sorry, sire." i mumbled apologetically

"You are really useless today! You cannot get anything right!" he continued. This time i got angry, i felt an uncontrollable rage bubbling inside me

"You know what, i do so  much for you Arthur! More than you even know and i never get a please or thank you. Never. And i know things, secrets that should never be told, knowledge that must never be spoken. Knowledge that will parasite Gods blaze. (A.N// Quick DW reference) I'm a human i'm ALOUD TO MAKE MISTAKES! BUT APPARENTLY THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU! WELL FINE, SEE IF I CARE!" I shouted angrily and stormed out leaving Arthur gobsmacked.

My breathing was increasing and i began to feel the inner wolf inside me rebel. Everything seemed to be getting clearer, everything was beginning to grow louder. No. Not now! I tried to control the urge but i couldn't, the wolf was clawing at my insides. I ran into the armoury, clutching my ears as the clangs and heavy foosteps became unbearable. Gwaine ran in followed by Percival, Leon, Elyan, Mordred (A.N// He's good) and Lancelot. "Merlin, you need to calm down." soothed Leon

"No! Get away from me!" i warned, bearing my teeth. Stop, Merlin, you'll get yourslef killed. But it was too late, the effect was kicking in. My legs and arms were transforming, my nails lengthening, my canines becoming bigger and longer... and sharper. I could see the coal black nose on the end of my dark grey fir.

They all looked at me, no swords raised about to  plunge into me, just nothing. Lancelot locked the armoury door and they all looked at eachother and nodded.

I backed up until my backside crashed into the armour. I whimpered in fear. Then something happened that i had never expected.

I stared back at 5 pairs of eyes that belonged to wolves. Leon's coat was a light tan colour, flanking his left was Percival who was the tallest wolf of them all, like he is in human form. Mordred is on the other side of Leon and he is slightly more cautious than the others, after all he is the youngest. He is slightly behind the others. Gwaine is just infront of Mordred, he has a softer look, his ears are pricked forward inqustivaley. Elyan stands just next to Gwaine's shoulder. Leon takes a wary step forward, i growl in my defence. He takes a step backwards and then takes another few steps forward. "It's ok Merlin, we're not going to hurt you." comforted Leon. You can speak as a wolf? Slowly the others edged closer

"We're just like you." added Lancelot. They all looked at me, with trusting expressions. Cautiously i edged forwards and touched noses with everyone, my Wolf instincts telling me to do so.

"Did you know i was a wolf?" i asked

"We'd had our ideas, but this proved it." said Elyan.

"I know, we should all meet up outside Camelot and go for a run." suggested Gwaine. The others were jumping in the air in excitement, "What do you say?"

"Yeah... yeah ok." i bow my head.

"I think we should change back." said Percival. Everyone agreed and we turned back, just like that. I'm not so alone in my journey.

LATER THAT NIGHT.....

I sneaked out of my chambers, trying my best not to disturb Gaius. I crept through the corridors, i didn't particuly want to get noticed by the guards. I successfully made it out, without being caught. I was the last to arrive and they others had told me that they had only just arrived. We all walked silently into the woods, still in human form. We wanted to be in human form before we transformed. We reached the forest after about 5 minutes. We all looked around and then looked at eachother and transformed.

Transforming is slowly becoming easier but i take a while longer than the others. We circle eachother inqusitvely, sniffing eachother and greeting eachother. Leon padded forward, he seemed to be the alpha, and then turned around. "Let's run." he said and we were off. I cannot explain the emotions that i felt in that moment, running with other wolves, i guess as i could say as a pack. The wind whipping through my fur and being able to see clear as day, powering forwards with such speed and grace next to my friends. We were racing to the top of the hill, our strong muscles propelling us forward. We slowed down to a trot as we reached the top of the hill, everyone was panting, we all sat down. I felt then the moment was right. I lifted my head into the sky and howled. "AAAOOOOO!" The others looked at me and joined in, our howls now merging together. My human inside was grinning wildly, i would treasure this moment for many years to come...
