Helping A Friend In Need
A/N Thanks to Hanny Spoon for reviewing this. Here's more. Oh yeah because I restart College on Monday, it might be a little while because I have to go to bed. But since today's Saturday and I can stay up late, I might update more of this. It's getting pretty cool.
Merlin was curious as his grand daughter explained what happened to her father especially when she said about the rose marking on Artie's neck. He'd heard of this spell before and was worried.
"What'll happen to my father?" Ari asked him. Merlin looked very grave before answering.
"It's a very dark spell that changes the person it affects. It also creates a demon within the victim and endows him with magic.
Only very powerful magicians know how to do this.
Artie is in danger." he explained to her.
Ari left.
She was worried thinking about what her grandfather had said to her.
She hoped things would be okay.......
But Shrek was worried seeing Artie walk out of a salon. His normal brown hair was replaced by short black and blue hair which was spiked a little.
".... Umm Artie you feeling okay?" he asked nervous.
"Yeah I felt like I had to change myself." he answered him.
He then saw Artie scratch his neck. He'd seen Artie do that five times today but noticed something odd about it.
This morning it looked red and a rash but now it was black and looked like a tattoo but it began to glow.
"Artie?
That mark on your neck, how did you get it?
It.... looks nasty.
Maybe we should get it looked at." Shrek suggested.
"No!
I-I'll be fine.
It's nothing. Just a sting or a bite. Besides I feel better than I have in my life." Artie replied with a dark look in his eyes.
That scared Donkey and Puss but more so Shrek.
"Something's not right and it involves that mark.
I hope I don't lose him. He's been acting odd ever since he got it.
He won't tell me where he got it." he thought as they saw Lance run away from Artie.
He chased after him and pinned him to the wall.
"Artie.... please show mercy!" Lance begged.
"Why should I? You and the others never showed me mercy in Worchester, making fun of me, locking me in my locker and making my life a misery.
Why should I?" Artie growled as his eyes began to change and glowed with purple light.
"Artie stop!" Shrek yelled. At his voice Artie snapped out of it and stared at Lance.
He sent Lance flying into a wall.
"A-Artie let's go okay senor?" Puss said.
"Yeah okay.
I feel really weird, like something's wrong with me." Artie replied as they walked back to the castle...
Ari was shocked by her father's sudden change in appearance. She knew this wasn't him. Merlin knew this too. It was the spell that was doing this to him.
He'd a feeling who'd done this and was angry.
He knew soon the demon would grow in Artie changing him more and make him a demon in appearance and have access to dark magic.
He had to find a way to get the spell out of him before then.....
He hoped that it wasn't too late for Artie and the kingdom.....
