Chapter 31. - Freaked out. Percival's P.O.V. Part 4.

There was a loud clatter, which sounded like metal on stone as I walked past the royal chambers. I stopped and looked around but the corridor was empty. I just about to continue on my way when I heard a voice rasp: “Help!!” I stopped again. It had sounded like Guinevere but I wasn’t sure. “My lady! Where are you?!” I called, but there was no answer. It was then that I noticed the door to the royal chambers was slightly ajar.

I cautiously walked towards the open door and peered in. I could see Gwen lying on the floor and a ghostly figure standing over her..... Choking her. “Stop!!!” I yelled pushing the door open and entering the room. The figure turned round and I saw it was Elyan..... Well his ghost anyways. He smiled at me. “You’re too late. She’ll soon be dead.” He said in a cold voice. This was not the Elyan we had all known and loved. I entered the room even more. “I said, stop!!!” I growled threateningly, clenching my fists. “I have punched you before Elyan and I’m not afraid to do it again. Ghost or not.” I said. He sneered at me, and then ran off. I glanced around.... I knew he wouldn’t be far away. I knelt down beside Gwen and felt on her neck for a pulse. It was there but only faint. I scooped her up in my arms and laid her on the bed, and sat beside her waiting.

A little while after and her eyelids, fluttered then slowly they opened. “Percival.” She said, her voice sounded hoarse. I smiled; well at least she was still alive. “I’ll get you some water.” I said, moving over to the jug which was set on the table. I filled up a goblet and handed it to her. She drank it all in one gulp. “Gwen where’s Arthur?” I asked.

“I don’t know. He went off after Elyan. But then Elyan came back here and Arthur didn’t.” She gasped, “What if Elyan k-k-k.......” she could finish the sentence as a wave of tears broke out.

“He’s not. Don’t worry Gwen we’ll find him.” I said, starting to rise from the chair. She grabbed my arm. “No! Don’t leave me here.” She said her eyes wild with fear. I smiled and sat back down although my better nature was telling me that I had to find Arthur as my instinct was saying he was in grave danger.

A/N: Well I wasn't going to do another Percival P.O.V. but I decided that someone had to save Guinevere. This is definately the last Percival P.O.V. :)
