Masterlist 92. Stalker
“Talk to the dragon.” Will says matter-of-factly as he and Merlin make their way out of the school building. Lately, he had been saying that a lot as a solution for Merlin’s problems.
“Sure. That will be easy.” Merlin rolls her eyes at her friend. “I’ll just knock on the door of Johnathan Drake’s mansion and ask to talk to one of the richest man in this town. I’m sure they’ll rush me right in.”
“Look, I’m trying to help alright?” Will says annoyed. “Turn your sarcasm on someone else.”
“Sorry.” Merlin sighs apologetic. “It’s been a long couple of days. I’m nowhere closer to figure out why Lancelot remembers and everyone else doesn’t and there’s the whole gay love in a past life thing that’s seriously putting a strain on my relationship with present Arthur…”
“And don’t forget the stalker car.” Will points out helpfully and Merlin whines.
“How could I forget that? It’s everywhere I go. It’s driving me insane!”
“What’s driving you insane?” Arthur asks from a point behind them, making Merlin turn to look at him almost guiltily.
“Stalker car.” Will provides with a shrug.
“Right.” Arthur answers with a hint of disbelief and Merlin rolls her eyes.
“Arthur doesn’t think the car is real.” She explains to Will, annoyed and still hurt.
“I didn’t say that.” Arthur protests. It’s his time to feel guilty.
“Your tone of voice speaks volumes.” Merlin responds, looking at him offended. “You should’ve known that. You’re very good on using it.”
“Merlin…” Arthur starts, planning a good apology when Will nudges him on the shoulder.
“Stalker car.” He says pointing towards the gates. There’s a black SUV parked there.
“That’s it? Are you sure?” Arthur asks Merlin with a frown of worry and she nods.
“Yes, but…”
She doesn’t get to finish her sentence; Arthur is already running towards the car. The driver must have seen him, because the car suddenly springs to life and starts to speed down the street.
“Arthur!” Merlin shouts, rushing after him. She doesn’t know who’s inside the car. It might be dangerous.
He shouldn’t be able to catch up with a speeding car, but Arthur does. Only because the driver isn’t expecting to catch a red light and has to brake before hitting another car.
That gives enough time for Arthur to catches up, pull the down open and drag the driver out of his seat, pushing him against the car with a menacing scowl.
“Who are you and what do you want with my girlfriend?” Arthur asks dangerously, shaking other man slightly.
He’s older than Arthur, but the same height and size. He’s dark, dark hair is graying in a few spots and his eyes are so blue and familiar.
“Arthur, stop!” Merlin shouts when she reaches him; eyes wide in shock. “I know him.”
“You do?” Arthur asks, easing the grip on the man’s coat a little.
“Yeah.” Merlin says in a small voice. “That’s my father.”
