The Lost Heir

Chapter 20 The Confession

It is dusk with the sky a beautiful pink yellow and orange. Percival is resting on the bed in his room. There's a knock at his door. Percival got up and answered it. "Oh hey Julie what's up?" Asked Percival. "Um well I... I uh." Julie stuttered. Julie took a deep breath. "Will you come outside with me? There's something I have to tell you." Asked Julie as she blushed with embarrassment. "Sure." Said Percival as he came out of the room. Percival and Julie went outside. T-card and Samuel were sound asleep inside the inn. Julie held Percival's hands as she took a deep breath. "Percival I wanted to tell you that I." Suddenly Percival was grabbed and taken into the sky.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Exclaimed Percival as he struggled. "It's useless to resist." Said an anonymous voice. Percival was dropped from the sky. "PERCIVAL!!!" Screamed Julie as she ran to catch Percival. "Finally my work shall be done!" Said the anonymous voice. Julie caught Percival and lowered him to the ground. "Are you ok Percival?" Julie asked. "Yeah I'm ok." Said Percival. A dark figure landed on the ground. "You know that was annoying. Why couldn't you have just died? It would have made my job so much easier." Said the dark figure. Meanwhile Samuel woke up and went to check on Percival in his room. Samuel heard the commotion outside as he entered Percival's room. Samuel ran outside to investigate. "What's going on?!" Exclaimed Samuel. The dark figure rushed towards Samuel and grabbed him. "Come with me quietly and I won't hurt him!" Said the dark figure. "Who are you?!" Said Percival. "I am Bartok. A demon sent to destroy you! Percival! Now come with me and I won't hurt this one!" Said the dark figure.

"DONT DO IT FORGET ABOUT ME!" Exclaimed Samuel. Bartok placed his hand over Samuel's mouth. "SHUT UP!"  Bartok yelled angrily and impatiently. Percival drew his swords. "You ready Midnight." Said Percival. Midnight barked his approval. "Alright lets go!" Said Percival as he and Midnight charged towards Bartok. Midnight leapt behind Bartok and used his sonic howl. The shockwave forced bartok to let go of Samuel and projected him towards Percival who was still running at full speed. "This is the end!" Said Percival as he pierced both if his swords through Bartok's stomach at full speed. Bartok shrieked in pain. Blood dripping down the open wounds in his stomach. "At least... now I won't have... to... suffer under... his control." Said bartok as he fell to the ground alive but on the brink of death.

"I just wish I could be human." Said Bartok weakly. Samuel got up and began healing Bartok. "SAMUEL WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! HE IS THE ENEMY!" Yelled Percival. "I know but he just wants to be human that's all he wants." Said Samuel. "Thank you. I am in your debt." Said Bartok. "This is an outrage!" Said Percival. T-card came out of the inn. "What's going on?" Asked T-card. "Since you have saved my life. I am now under your command." Said Bartok. Bartok took out a necklace with a flame engraved on it. "You can summon me using this." Said Bartok. "Just say my name and I will be summoned immediately." Said Bartok as he disappeared. "He's the enemy. This all just an act so he can gain our trust. So when we lower our guard he will strike well I'm not buying it!" Said Percival as he stormed back into the inn. "I don't exactly trust him either." Said Julie as she walked back to her room. "I trust him." Said T-card. "I do too. All he wants is to be human after all. He can't be all bad." Said Samuel as he held the necklace in his hand. "Let's get to bed its getting late." Said T-card. "Alright." Said Samuel as he and T-card began walking into the inn.
