The Girl Wearing The Red Cloak | Merlin x Reader

Chapter 5

In the deeper part of the woods, A huge creature with glowing eyes emerge from the bush. Y/n freaked out and moved backwards at a tree almost bumping into the creature. when she move her lamp towards it, it suddenly hopped to the other side. When Y/n saw it was nothing she sighed thinking it was only her imagination. But she then heard another loud thump and a huge wooden bunny revealed itself to her. Y/n gasped and dropped the lamp, extinguishing her only light.

"Boys! I'm telling you. Sweet treats are the way to a woman's heart." Hans says as he place a delicious pancake at the table where the triplets and Jack are.

"It works! I call it, an auto portrait."

"I call it, the duplicatertron."

"I call it, selfie!"

"The girls must love it!" The Triplets Fawned at the thought of mostly Red shoes liking their invention, holding their selfie in one hand. (I don't know which triplet is which)

"Monsieur, monsieur. She doesn't want sweets and selfies.--" Jack then presented a ring with a huge diamond on it to the four. "--Women want diamonds."

-

In the other room Arthur burst into Merlin's room looking fo him. He was going to leave but then his eye caught the book with the title of 'Spell to make you fall in love'. Arthur stormed to their living room intending to follow where he thought Merlin and Red shoes go, little does he know Red shoes isn't the one Merlin was following out.

Snow try to see what's all the ruckus about and she saw that Arthur was now going outside too, she then decided that to follow them as well.

-

"Okay, big, terrifying, wooden bunny. You're a nice bunny--" Y/n said to the big bunny while she was being trapped in a tree by it. "--Don't make me use my Dagger on you." She carefully warned as she began to unsheathe her dagger from her side. It noticed what was Y/n doing and roared in her face, this made the hood from her face fall down.

Before Y/n could attack the bunny it suddenly got electrocuted by Merlin who quickly grabbed Y/n's arm to run.

"How did you do that?" She voiced out while running, Merlin still not noticing the uncovered face of Y/n.

"It's called magic. I do it." He says while showing his talisman to her, Y/n ran a bit faster than Merlin which made him turn into his non-cursed self.

"Really? Then do some!" Merlin finally looks at Y/n, It felt like time stopped for him as he at long last saw the uncovered face of Y/n. He felt his face heat up as he admired her from behind he smiled widely at her, and the hand that was holding her suddenly feel as if it was made for holding Y/n.

Merlin as he was now fawning on Y/n didn't noticed that he wasted one of his talisman. But when Y/n looked back Merlin was struggling to run because of his short formed he gets dragged by her. Merlin let go of her, and tried to usher her away from him.

"Keep running, and whatever you do, don't look back."

"But I can't leave without you."

"You're looking back. Don't do that.""But--" Y/n saw that the bunny was getting closer so she ran.

"Hate to zap you longears, But I need to impress a beautiful woman." Merlin said in his true appearance showing his weapon to it.

"Big, scary bunny! Over here!" He heard Y/n yell from behind him. She was waving her dagger to it to attract the bunny's attention more.

"Red! Stop putting yourself in--" It was successful but Merlin got squashed by it as a result. "--danger..."

Y/n ran to a dead end

"Red cloak!" She heard Snow's voice suddenly running at her from the side.

"Red Shoes what are you doing here! I told you to stay put!" She took a hold of her shoulder and began shaking her. "I was but then I heard--AHH" Snow didn't get to finish as the Bunny landed in front of the two. Y/n fixed her cloak and readied her dagger as the Bunny lower its' face to them. Snow cowered back and closed her eyes as Y/n held eye contact to it waiting for it to strike. But before it could Arthur jumped on top of the cliff with a sword in hand in his true form he let out a loud yell, which made the sisters look at him. It cause Arthur to suddenly turn green and little again, and land on the face of the bunny.

The big Wooden Bunny then tripped and hit it's head on the wall which causes it to get knocked out while Arthur lays below it's paws.

"Arthur! I got you." Y/n and Snow ran at his side and started to help him remove the paw.

But Arthur keeps pulling back the paw to him so they struggle removing it. "It's no use, Red Shoes. I'm slippin' away. Not much time..." He says and acts dramatically, Y/n noticed that he is faking it so she step back just to watch the performance he was giving while giving Arthur a disappointed look. Snow didn't seemed to notice so she continues to take off the paw that is on Arthur.

"Just... need to... use that core of mine..."

"Don't sweat yourself Red." Y/n says with her arms cross

"I see the light at the end of the funnel. Time for me to kick the bucket I had a good run. I was God blessed." Arthur resumes

"Oh, I used to be able to bench two fifty!" Snow still struggling

"Before I go, how about a farewell kiss?" Before Y/n could kick Arthur on the face thankfully he was saved by Hans and Jack. "Red Shoes and Red Cloak! Thank goodness you're safe." Hans sighed with relief holding his trusty pan. "Do any of you need CPR? I'm basically an expert. And don't worry, I brushed my teeth." Jack offered, Y/n chimed in and said "Yes, Maybe your roommate Arthur need some CPR, since he is running out of air being squashed by the bunnys' paws" Hans and Jack looks at where Y/n was pointing at and they also see Arthur faking being hurt. "Would you get up?" Hans says

"What? He's not hurt?" Snow questioned

"Only his pride."

"Seriously Arthur? You need to find a better way to hit on girls." Jack says looking at him disapprovingly. Arthur got up swiftly like nothing happen and Y/n Glared holes through his skull, He felt shiver on his spine but ignored it. The floor rumbles and another huge wooden thing came thinking it was another creature They all readied themselves again to fight. The thing opened the top of it's head and only to reveal the triplets with their new invention."Everyone came runnin' to help, great, just great." Arthur muttered while crossing his arms. "Everyone except Merlin, that is." as Jack said that Merlin came rushing to them while out of breath. "Ah! Super, there he is now." Hans says

Y/n smiled and was going to thank him but Arthur already complained "Where have you been? Something awful could've happened to The girls if I hadn't shown up."

"You?... Don't even go there! I saved her first. Right?" Merlin breathlessly uttered

"I was worried about you." Y/n stepped up and examined if he is injured or not.

"I was worried about me too. But mostly you." Merlin face go red as Y/n moves closer to him.

"No-one needs to worry. Arthur's here. Please, my ladies." Arthur said as he escorted Red shoes and the others out of the wood. Merlin seems dejected because his efforts is not noticed by the others so he held out his hand to them trying to form words but none came. Y/n being a good observer she is noticed this and puts a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Hey umm, Thanks for the help back there. I wouldn't have escaped if you didn't use your magic in the first place." She says this and ruffled his hair after. Y/n then follows the others back leaving Merlin behind.

Merlin smiled widely at this and puffs out his chest in confidence, and also made his way back to the others.
