Merlin couldn't sleep, darkness had fallen over the forests where the group had set up for the night. All the while he shifted, tossed and turned on the leafy floor - trying to get comfortable and to stop his mind from going into overdrive. Why were the Knights suddenly all acting so out of character? Going against eachother? Snapping at both him and Gwen. Even Leon, who Merlin had thought to be the one to make the sensible options, was now insisting that they take Lamia back home.
Surely Camelot was nearer? At least there she could be given medical attention, but no - everyone seemed set on the idea. They were taking Lamia home.
Merlin hadn't the chance to speak with Gwen about any of this, not of the thoughts he had about the whole situation. They'd just really kept giving one another looks as though to ask what on earth was going on? He had conveniantly placed his space to sleep, right next to Gwen's, so should anything happen - then at least he could get to her in time. At the moment something just didn't feel right, nor did he feel as though he could trust the Knights as much as he used to any more. Merlin was sure that this was all down to Lamia.
Rolling onto his back, he put his arms under the back of his neck to prop his head up slightly. It was spookily quiet, apart from the crackling of the ever dying fire. With a small sigh he turned his head to see whether Gwen was awake.
"Gwen?....Gwen?" he whispered, hoping that she was indeed awake and that he could finally raise his suspicions. At least he knew that if Gwen had any doubt about Lamia, she would tell him.
