So I hope this is better
"Merlin, Merlin wake up" Gaius shook the boy rather hard to wake him.
"Who...Gaius what's. What's wrong?" the sorcerer asked hazily.
"It's morning and Arthur is probably is waiting for you. Now hurry it up" he said pulling the boy up in to a sitting position.
"Now?" Merlin said trying to lie back down. He felt terrible but he didn't want Gaius to know that.
"Are you feeling okay, Merlin", he pulled the young man up again. He had trouble getting the young sorcerer up, but never this much.
"Yeah, yes", he said climbing out of the bed and threw he clothes on.
"Merlin, you're a terrible liar now sit" Gaius forced him in to a small chair. The physician put his wrinkled hand on the boy forehead. "You brow is on fire, and your pail as parchment."
"Gaius I'm fine", he tried to escape the older man's grasp.
"Just in case, I want you to drink this"; he said turning back to Merlin after looking through hundreds of bottles.
"Gaius I'm fine" he lightly pushed the vile back in to the mentor's hand.
"Drink", the physician said forcefully pushing it back in to his thin hands.
"Fine all do it on the way to Arthur's room, Gaius", He responded to the bottle in his chest. He responded to the bottle in his chest as he started out the door; on his way out Merlin grasped a piece of bread "Great breakfast Gaius!"
"That boy, there something wrong with him i know it." Gaius mumbled after his ward left.
The young man jogged through the halls of the castle because that's all his body could do, shoving the bottle in his jacket pocket. Forgetting about it, Merlin crept in the door with Arthur's food hoping that the prince had slept in, but with his luck he wasn't.
"You're dressed?" The servant asked rather surprised.
"Yes no thanks to you Merlin. What were you doing?" Asked Arthur annoyed.
"I was helping Gaius his errands said the sorcerer hoping that his master would not see threw his lies and get thrown in the stalks.
"Alright, but i need you to polish my armor, mend my chainmail, and muck out my horses, on second thought all the horses. Also clean my room and the clothes, and sharpen my sword. Don't forget about the bedding and after you do that you do that you'll help me train." Arthur barked these commands fast. Merlin's mind was swimming he shook his head just to focus in to the prince's commands.
"yes of, of course sire" he said weakly, turning to leave the prince with his food to fulfill his tasks.
"Merlin" and hand landed on his shoulder. "I could not help but notice, you seem not well, you ok? ."
"I'm fine" Merlin the answered quickly. Arthur cocked an eyebrow a statement, "Really" the servant insisted.
"Fine, now go", Arthur exhaled slowly knowing Merlin would not admit his sickness he pushed the servant out the door, but not has hard as usual.
Merlin was carrying Arthur's armor it seemed heavier today probably because he was sick, and then came a sweet voice behind him. "Merlin, you alright you seem pail?"
"What, Oh hi Gwen!" he greeted her trying to play off his terrible feeling. "Yeah I'm fine"
"Has anyone ever told you you're a terrible liar?" she giggled at the young man. "And your sweating, Merlin you are sick"; here voice became instantly worried.
"No I'm I'mm uh" the ill boy passed out, armor clattered across the cobblestone.
"MERLIN!" she dropped lady morgana's clothes to aid to the boy. "Wake up" The clatter of armor and Gwen's shirk was herd by everyone, including Gaius.
"Merlin is that you?" Gwen heard a worried old voice came behind her. "Gwen what happened?" Gaius knelt down next to Gwen; when turning merlin over he heard a glass like clank on the ground, he reached in to the boy's pocket to find the vile he had given Merlin earlier. Also he had a small cut on his head from his fall.
"I...I don't Know we were talking and he passed out." She turns toward him with extreme worry in her eyes.
"I knew it he was sick. He was white as parchment this morning. And he didn't take the medicine I gave him this morning. Now go get Arthur, quickly!" he said in a worried tone that made Gwen worry more. "Come on merlin wake up please"
Gwen ran up to Arthur's door knocking forcefully.
"Gwen, What is it?" asked Prince Arthur popping his head out the door to see Gwen almost in tears because of Merlin.
"It's Merlin he… He passed out in the courtyard, we need your help to get him to Gaius' chambers" she said pulling him out of his chambers. "Come on you got to help."
"Ok, Ok I'm coming", He said following the frantic girl down the corridors of the castle. When Arthur and Gwen reached Merlin there was a small group surrounding him, Merlin is loved by all because he's so kind, and caring. The two friends pressed their way so they could reach the ailing boy. When they reach Gaius Merlin was sweating and breathing hard, He had a cloth on his head to keep him cool.
"Thank heavens your here he's gotten worst", said the older gentleman.
"I got him" Arthur slug merlin over his muscular shoulders to get his friend (not know by anyone not even merlin), to the physician's chambers.
"Put him on the bed, he's still breathing too hard for comfort" Gaius hastily started looking threw his books, "Keep him cool he's burning and his heart is racing" Gwen obeyed and knelt down by her friend. "And his symptoms don't add up I…. I don't know what's wrong with him." The old man looked up at two nervous friends.
