Chapter 26 - Chapter twenty six: Micheal and Charles are cousins 2

After Micheal and Charles greeted each other, they went to the roof top." Why did you leave without saying good bye yesterday?" Charles asked. "I got an urgent message and l didn't want to disturb you, because if it were me l won't like to be disturbed" Micheal lied. Charles nodded his head in understanding, "yeah l don't like to be disturbed when l'm writing". Charles went to the edge of the roof top and made a deep sigh. "Hey, what are you doing?, You might fall down" Micheal warned. "Honestly, l don't mind" Charles said in an exhausted voice. "Why would you say that?" Micheal asked as he went closer to him. " Because l'm tired Mike, l'm so tired. Life has been very hard for me" said Charles. "Everyone has it hard , Charles" said Micheal. "But not everyone is having it hard as l am. My career just doesn't seem to be working. Writing for six years without any progress is very tiring. At my age, l can't even take of my mother. And despite all of this, some people wants me dead".Charles lamented, Micheal stiffened at this. " Do you know some mad men threw stones at me till l pass out yesterday, they did it three days ago too" . Micheal looked down. "If someone could just push me off the edge now, l would be grateful" Charles said. Micheal extended his hand to push him but hesitated, Charles who turned his back at him didn't see this. Micheal's hand was trembling as it was getting closer to Charles. Micheal was about to push him , but then, " but l haven't finished writing your character yet" Charles said. Micheal looked at him and retracted his hand "What character?" He asked confusingly. "The red soldier that chased the little girl and Darius" said Charles. "which little girl?" Micheal asked. " The little girl , Angela." Micheal froze. " It seems you haven't read my latest chapters, here take this" Charles gave him his small notebook where he jots down his points. Micheal quickly read it, then he remembered the boy that sang the little Angela poem in the alley. It was then the realization hit him that his daughter is still alive. " Your character inspired me, so I included it into my story. Oh, the scar on your left eye is just like the one on the red soldier's eye too." Charles said. Micheal stiffened, could he be the red soldier, he thought" What do you think the soldier was trying to reach out to " Micheal asked. " I think he is responding to girl's flute" said Charles. "Can your story affect the real world as you write it." Micheal asked. " I wish it does. Then l would be able to create my fortunes just by writing them" Charles chuckled.

Micheal read the chapter again. " What about Darius?. If he uses his powers again, he won't have enough power to defeat Barcus right?" Micheal asked. Charles thought it for a while, "that's true , then l'll have to create another alternative" Charles said. "What about the armour feeding on Darius blood. Since it feeds on his blood then they both share a symbiosis right?" Micheal asked. "Yes, and since Darius is in to much tension it will feel it." Charles said said. He took his book from Micheal and begin to write down the next line of the story. ______ Darius took an attack stance with his eyes glowing purple. "Hey, we are giving you one last chance, get out of the way, don't get involved". The men shouted at him. "Are you all deaf, l said if you want hurt her you have to go through me" he growled at them. Then the armour woke up, " what is going on ?" The armour yawned. "Finally, look at who decided wake up" said Darius. "Uh huh, and that was a nice nap, now l'm really hungry" said the armour. " Don't tell me you are going to suck me dry now?" Said Darius. "What is going on , are you talking to your armour?" One of the men said. "Who are those?" The armour asked. " They are here to kill us" Darius said simply. " So it wouldn't hurt to drink their blood right?" The armour asked. "Suit yourself", the armour left Darius body and grew out arms and legs and remove two large swords from it's body. And began to slaughter all the men. Darius went to cover Angela's eyes, then one of the men slipped from the armour's grasp and went to attack him . Darius drew his sword and fought him, then he heard Angela scream. One of the men has got to her and cut her on her arm.
