I lay on my back fixing the Mystery Van for Vivi as the demon chuckled, "I enjoy this Arthur, you are learning that everything isn't always peachy. I hate the fact that you've grown stronger, but you even impressed me by stopping my possession in your sleep. You should feel flattered, I don't compliment alot." "You're bored now." "I guess we can read each others minds, oh look its Blue." I bumped my head against the bumper as footsteps neared me. Vivi was one of my best friends in the world, she even told Lewis to leave me alone. She knew I was possessed, but she doesn't know that I'm still stuck with him. Lewis hated me of course and swear that I'll get mine, thats when I came to live with my Uncle again. I was lost in thought as Vivi approached me I pulled out and looked at her. She sat down and smiled, "Hey Artie, you feel like going on a haunt with us?" I cringed as she said those words, "N-No thanks, V." The demon chuckled as Vivi spoke, "You haven't been by to see us since you know what! Arthur, you gotta explain why that is." I thought for a moment, "I just thought you and L-Lewis could have some time to yourselves to you know catch up." "Liar" I smiled at her as the demon shook his head.
Vivi smiled, "Oh Artie! That's sweet, but we're not the Mystery Skulls without you!" "You were without Lewis." I shook my head trying to ignore the voice, "Nah V, I'll come by this weekend. But now I gotta lotta work this week." She pouted but gave in. I let her take the Van and she drove off after making me promise to visit. The demon was rolling now, "Now you have to face your sins, this is genius!" I sighed and continued my day fixing up cars and trucks. The demon was quiet so I could work, so I didn't hurt myself. It turns out that we are one now, he was stuck within my soul and still powerful. If I get hurt or die..so does he. After awhile, we began to talk more and less threats and trying to kill friends. I yawned and this stirred the demon, "Sleep, I won't do much but walk. You'll see." I couldn't argue, I had gone without sleep for a whole year and I couldn't fight it anymore after the return of Lewis. I finished my access work and bid goodnight to my Uncle after showering, but I couldn't sleep right after. Lewis stood there floating and flaming in my room.
"Why are you coming over?" He said in a angry voice, I winced as the demon growled, "V-Vivi said for me to come, y-you know p-payback for not going on your haunt." Lewis narrowed his skull and growled, "This change nothing, but if it is what Vivi wants then fine." I haven't looked at him since his return, "Y-You know, I won't mind if you kill me." I closed my right eye as the demon hissed, "What!" Lewis stared as though thinking about something, shrugged it off. He grabbed my neck, "Vivi would know, and you're not worth her trust." He turned and phased through the wall and there I was alone with my mind. The demon sent a headache my way, "You idiot! How dare you!" "What, I was telling the truth, and I wanted to see-" "If he would do it, you're really cunning sometimes. Go to bed!" The last part was said Harshly as I laid down. As I closed my eyes I could see through his.
Demon(Ruthura) POV:
I got up, the skin on Arthur's arm and the the Prostentic slowly turned green and pointed as I swiftly left the room. I could feel his curling up and falling asleep inside the saftey of my soul, our soul. Arthur is weak due to my torture, and it didn't help that his friend had returned. I walked toward the front door as a throat cleared, "Going to bed huh?" I used Arthur's voice and was carful not to let him see me, "Don't worry Uncle Lance, just need something I hid, I won't be long." I could feel the unceartainty in his voice, thank God it was dark, "Don't take long, okay?" "Okay, I should e back in an hour. Seeya." I left the old man and walked into the woods behind the shop. As Arthur slept, I couldn't help but worry about him. I had made him fragile, but Lewis broke him. Even though I would survive if he broke and died, I couldn't help but actually care for the coward. I entered a clearing and walked to the left, faint gasps were heard from the other spirits as I edged near an old tree. The old tree belonged to an old friend and is where he lives in peace as a ghost. I watched as he appeared, "Y-You! what do you want?" I held up a hand, "Don't worry scardey cat, but I know you know the Blue one. Right now we need to talk in private." He trembled and nodded before coming inside Arthur's body.
He froze at the sight of a still barley living Soul inside, "You're keeping him alive?" I nodded. He touched Arthur and I growled, "He is very weak, you are keeping him from dying there. Why?" I closed my eyes to look at him, "I don't know, he is actually keeping me entertained. I might miss him...I am not sure I understand these feelings, set aside his." We looked over Arthur in silence before he exited the body. I was aware enough to see a pinkish fireball almost hit us, I knew what had happened. The old man called Blue after I left, I flinched at the familiar voice. It was the mutt, "You are not Arthur! GET OUT OF HIM!" I smiled, "Why would I do that? Go ahead mutt,bite his head off! That is the only way you're getting me out of this body, killing him!" Blue stared and noticed something, "Gramps! Are you hurt!?" "No, but I wouldn't attack if I were you. If the boy's soul dies, this guy will be unkillable! Unless you kill them both." "B-But!" I smiled, "What's wrong Blue? I might just kill you now, seeing Arthur's guard is completely down." Lewis growled, "You will not touch her!" I walked over to Lewis, "I touched you! I'm more powerful, so who will stop me?" I froze as Arthur's voice came from our throat, "YOU ASSHOLE!" I snorted as the green disappeared, "You woke him up, thanks a lot." I closed my eyes as Arthur took over, he really just passed out again. I could hear his friends though, "We'll tell Lance that he came over to our house."
I watched as the dog came to his body and made sure I didn't come back in control, I stayed where I was as they removed his arm. I watched as Blue left and Lewis stared down at the sleeping Arthur, "If you can hear me demon, we will find away to kill you and get our Arthur back." "You mean the Arthur that sat through torture sessions? The coward from before? Oh, the one that fears to even say your name! He's my favorite next to suicidal Arthur and then the one that cuts himself!" Lewis growled as the mutt entered the room.
