Chereads / The Wrong Vassal / Chapter 19 - Out of Control (part 1)

Chapter 19 - Out of Control (part 1)

William was called to make a secret mission in the grounds of one of the W.B.F's academies at night. He had never entered there, but the feeling was very uncanny. He was following in the dark hallway searching for a magical gem from a student. While he was scenting the gem, he was stopped by a man with red hair, hazel eyes, a white horn and lizard-like tail in the middle of the hallway.

- I know you. -

The man pointed to him and said.

- Who are you and what are you doing here? -

William asked.

- How did you get in here? This is a magical academy with maximum security! -

The man said.

- A magical academy with security is an overstatement. -

William jokes with a straight face.

- You're not the funny type, that's for sure. So, let's do this way, YOU tell me why you're here and I let you go OR you DON'T tell me why you're here and I get you arrested because the old lady didn't give me permission to kill you. We're good? -

The man says. William put his hands on his pockets and started looking at his body.

- They still want me…? -

William murmurs, while slowly getting closer, with his hands still at his pockets.

- We never got the order revocaded, so… I guess? -

William is standing less than a meter away from him. 

- What's your name? -

William asked

- You can call me Joshua. -

The man replied.

William takes his left hand out of his pocket and punches Joshua in the face with knuckles with spikes. Joshua is hurt and bleed a little, but he cures almost instantly.

- Aw man! You look like you belong in a hospital bed, I really didn't wanna do that! -

Joshua complains, right after he covers his hand with an aura that looks like a white shiny blade. He runs towards William and attacks him aiming for the face, William dodges and grabs Joshua's arm, but his face mask and bandages on his face are cut and fall off. He takes his other hand out of his pocket with a switchblade and stabs Joshua's forearm close to his elbow. Joshua deactivates the blade, pulls his arm rapidly and reactivates it, cutting William's chin. Joshua deactivates it again and kicks William in the ribs and throws him to the lockers, where his knuckles falls.

- I'm sorry for that, but you're coming with me. -

Joshua gets closer to William to try to capture him, but he hesitates for a moment because he looked in pain. When he gets close enough to pick him up, William kicks him in the face and in the stomach and uses his arms to throw himself towards the lockers and then jumps towards Joshua. They broke a window with the impact and fell off the fifth floor to one of the school's courts. William used Joshua to break the fall and got advantage of Joshua's state after it and started eating his face, pulling the reminiscents of his skin off with his teeth and eating the muscles like a hungry animal. Joshua was still conscious, but couldn't counter attack William due to several broken bones on his arm, spine, legs and tail, added to the fact that his face was literally being eaten, he focused all his magical energy in regenerating on his head, in order to try to make William not eat his brain. With his non broken arm, Joshua called help. 

Earlier that night, Blair was still scared of the lady that entered their house and got out of her bed and went to William's room, but it was empty. She tried to search all the apartment, looking under the sofa, under the table, inside closets, her toy chest, inside the fridge, inside the kitchen cabinets and even inside pans. She didn't find him so she waited in front of the bathroom door, sad and afraid with her bare feet on the cold floor. She wasn't able to cry due her head structure, but she was at that point. She waited for 10 minutes, hoping William would get out of the bathroom soon.

Caleb woke up after hearing the sound of the pans hitting the floor. He tried to go back to sleep, but failed, so he decided to finally check it out and discovered Blair standing in front of the bathroom with her face covered by her hair and the onesie's hood.

- …What happened? -

Caleb asked worried.

- Dad's gone! -

Blair turns to him and says with her voice cracking, like she was indeed crying.

- What…? No way! He can't be… -

Caleb says, but is interrupted by Blair.

- I have looked everywhere! -

- Have you looked here? -

Caleb touches the bathroom door with his finger.

- I can't! The door is closed! It 's wrong! -

Blair explains, but Caleb just opens his hand and pushes the door.

- Caleb! What if someone was using the bathroom! That's icky! -

Blair looked at the bathroom for a short period of time and said.

- There's only one person that could be using the bathroom! -

Caleb answers. Blair enters and starts looking at the shower, inside and under the cabinet, under the stepping stool, inside the sink, with the toothbrushes, with the hair brushes, behind and under the toilet and he wasn't anywhere. She started making even louder crying sounds than before. That was when Caleb finally realized that William wasn't there and he took the stepping stool and immediately went to William's wardrobe. He put the stepping stool on the floor and grabbed William's floral festival facemask. He runs back to Blair and asks:

- How good is your nose? -
