The Lost Heir

Chapter 22 The Conflict Within

Percival and Nightingale charged at each other at full speed. Percival went to slash Nightingale but Nightingale blocked with his sword. "Nice try but I know all your tricks" Nightingale laughed as he charged again and teleported behind Percival and slashed his back. Percival yelled in pain. A cut opened and he began to bleed and Percival fell to his knees. "What's the matter giving up already?" Nightingale laughed as he kicked Percival in the chest. Percival fell to the floor. "Aww poor little thing. Here let me put you out of your MISERY!" Yelled Nightingale as he tried to pierce percival's heart. Percival rolled out of the way hang jumped up. Percival grunted from the pain. Percival ran towards Nightingale and slashed at his arm but Nightingale dodged and teleported behind Percival and kicked him in the back.

Percival yelled in pain and fell to his knees. Nightingale picked up Percival by the throat. "Did you really think that you could beat me?! You fool!" Said Nightingale as he threw Percival. Percival slid across the floor and landed with his back to the floor. He struggled to get up. Nightingale teleported to his and kicked him to the ground. "I'm sorry... mom,dad, Samuel,Julie and everyone." Percival thought to himself. Percival began to shed a tear as he helplessly laid on the ground unable to move from the pain. "Is that it?! Is that all you got?!" Nightingale laughed as he raised his sword with the blade facing down at Percival's chest. "Time to END THIS!" Laughed nightingale. Just as he was about to thrust his blade down for the fatal blow the room turned bright. "My eyes!" Exclaimed nightingale as Percival began to rise. "We are here for you Percival." Said a male and a female voice. Percival's wounds healed. "I...I'm alive?" Said Percival. Nightingale charged at Percival quickly. Percival charged at Nightingale as fast as he could. Nightingale teleported behind Percival and went to slash his back again but Percival turned around quickly and countered with a slash to Nightingale's leg. Nightingale screamed in agony and fell to the ground. "No way! You! It's impossible!" Exclaimed Nightingale. "Well I just made it possible. Goodbye nightingale!" Said Percival as he plunged his sword into nightingale's chest. "NOOO! THIS ISN'T THE LAST YOU WILL SEE OF ME! YOU HEAR ME! YOU'VE MADE A GRAVE MISTAKE YOU BRAT!" Nightingale yelled as he dissipated out of existence. Then the room began to rumble and shake as something else arose from the darkness. It floated into percival's sight. It was a black fog. "I TOLD YOU IT WASN'T OVER! I WILL HAVE YOUR BODY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!!!" Said Nightingale.

A door opened behind it was light. Percival began to run towards it but the fog encircled him. Percival looked around as the circle tightened. The fog took the solid shape of Percival and grabbed his throat and began choking him. Percival gasped for air. His vision began to fade. Percival struggled to get free. His eyes began to glow red. "Yes it's working! I'm taking over!" Laughed Nightingale. Percival began to go under the gruesome transformation. "Percival grabbed the copy by the throat. "YOU CAN'T HAVE MY BODY!" Exclaimed Percival as the fog released him and he reverted to normal. Percival tightened his grip and tossed Nightingale away and ran for the door. Nightingale got up and began running after Percival. Percival leapt for the door and made it through. Percival awoke to see T-card giving him a creepy but yet serious stare. "WHAT THE HELL! GET OFF!" Percival said as he pushed T-card off his bed. "Why are you here?" Said Percival. "I know what you experienced. You fought the demon inside you but you lost." Said T-card. "Here is my warning to you... you better find a way to get control over its power or you will lose the one that loves you most." T-card said as he exited the room. "What the hell was that about? How did he know?" Percival thought to himself as the morning sun rose.
