Here is the first chapter of the sequel to Dead Man Merlin. Not that good a first chapter, but it should get better.

Enjoy.

Monkey's eyes opened. The small mammal clambered to his feet and looked around the room. Since he had been bought by Captain Jack Sparrow and given as a Soul Monkey (and named Monkey) he had lived in Camelot with Dead Man Merlin, sleeping in the wardrobe. However, last night there had been a riot, and Monkey was able to sleep on the bed even after scratching people's eyes out, because Dead Man Merlin might be dead. Sadly, Monkey had to get up and look for him, just incase he was alive.

Monkey hopped off the bed, walked across the room and through the gap in the door. Gaius's chambers looked fine. Monkey jumped from table to table then out the other door.

Outside was a different story.

Knight's corpses lay almost everywhere down the hall, the walls stained with dry blood. Monkey waddled down the corridor, stepping over dead bodies as he went. He jumped up onto a ledge that over looked the courtyard. The small animal wasn't surprised to see more bodies littered everywhere. Two knights were walking around with a cart picking up the dead. However, what brought a smile to Monkey's face was that there weren't just knight's corpses...

…But pirate corpses too.

Monkey let out a horrid laugh that echoed over the courtyard. The sight in front of him amused him. He jumped down onto the floor and scurried off.

"How did this happen?" bellowed Uther through the grand hall, knowing fully whose fault it was. Merlin's.

The following night, pirates had attacked Camelot. The attack was unknown of until it was happening and Camelot was slaughtered by the invading pirates. It was unheard of for pirates to be this close inland. However, whilst the attack was going on, Uther had asked Merlin to defend Morgana, as he was the only one who could fight with a pirate's sword. Sadly, Merlin had been drugged with a sleeping draft (Merlin couldn't remember how, since each pirate was about a meter away from him unless they attacked) and the Lady Morgana had been kidnapped.

Arthur and Merlin exchanged glances before Arthur defended Merlin.

"Father, please, it was not all Merlin's fault –"

"He was meant to protect her! Guards!" The guards proceeded towards Merlin, grabbed him and started to drag him towards the dungeons. Arthur shouted in protest, but Merlin did not hear his voice over his rabid heartbeat.

"Now, now, you're not going to get the Lady back without him are you?" came a stranger's voice as he walked in and up the King.

"Jack!" Arthur cried in shock.

"Jack Sparrow," Uther said, a tad annoyed to see the man.

"My saviour," Merlin shouted, getting free of the guard's grip and running up side his uncle.

"Captain Jack Sparrow actually Sire," Jack said, stopping about two and a half meters in front of the King. Merlin tapped Jack on the shoulder and the man turned round.

"Jack, why are you here?" he whispered to his uncle. Jack turned back to face the King.

"Well, you see Merlin, I had heard that the Lady Morgana had been kidnapped and thought I'd offer my services." Uther eyed the man and took a step forward.

"You mean you'd help us get my ward back?" Jack grinned and bowed, arms spread wide. He snapped his head up and meet Uther's eye.

"Gladly."

"Jack, why are you really in Camelot?" Merlin whispered to him whilst he got his horse ready. Jack leaned in close.

"There are a few troubles out at sea. I came to get you for help on my ship, but since Morgana's been kidnapped, this gives me a bonus of some knights too." Merlin shook his head. Of course, his uncle would be after his help! He really should have seen this coming.

"But first, you're going to help get Morgana back," Arthur hissed at Jack. He must have been listening to their conversation.

"Of course," Jack said. Arthur walked off to his horse and Jack turned to Merlin. "What's got his knickers in a twist?" Merlin shook his head. Arthur had been different ever since Jack arrived.

They all climbed onto their horses and got ready to set off.

"Remember pirate," Uther said. "You still stole money from me. I want Morgana back." The message in Uther's voice was loud and clear.

Get Morgana back or you die.

"Yes Sire."

And with that, they were off.

I know. Short. However, it should get better.
