Chapter IV

~No One's POV~

Before Agent Eve could work on her first victim of mind control one of her fellow agents had approached, he had whispered in her ear. Intrigued, she excused herself and shut the door behind her leaving Colby Brock in the room.

"What have you found Agent Elliot?" asked Eve as she and Elliot made their way into a room filled with computers.

"We may have found something that might help lure Sam here." says Elliot as he leaned forward and clicked on one of Sam's videos that were titled "Meet My Girlfriend."

"Hmm, interesting," says Eve as she watched the video. "So, Sam has a girlfriend named Katrina? If this is true, then we have our leverage.

"Might I suggest not doing anything to Colby? He can be used as leverage too because he and Sam have been best friends since freshman year of high school."

"Sounds like a plan. Agent Elliot, please track down this Katrina Stuart and bring Colby with you. I will meet up with you, momentarily."

"Yes, ma'am!" says Elliot as he went to the room that Colby was in and brought out his gun. Unstrapping Colby, he grabbed him by the arm and dragged him out the other members of the trap house that they had taken hostage were taken to separate rooms so that they could be used to control their fans. Elliot then brought Colby back to the trap house waiting for Katrina Stuart to arrive.

Sam's POV

It was morning when we had entered the forest; now it seemed like it was getting hotter, which was because we've been walking for almost an hour. I hoped that this legend was real and that we weren't just on a goose chase.

"How far are we?" I asked my feet crying out for me to stop walking.

"We should be there soon." Says Amelia. I sighed and stopped so that I wouldn't feel so tired.

"Can we just take a break right now?"

"Sure, we'll have to continue the trek after we take a break, though," says Mark. I nodded my head and sat down. Taking off my bookbag, I unzipped it and pulled out three bottles of water. I sat my bottle next to me and tossed Mark and Amelia one. They quickly caught it and drank; I had taken a sip of my water and just started staring into space thinking about my home country and worried not only for my friends but for my girlfriend. Amelia seemed to have noticed that I was bothered by something. She turned to her husband and asked if he could step away briefly so that she could talk to me. He nodded his head and left. Amelia then sat down next to me.

"So, how old are you exactly?" asked Amelia snapping me from my thoughts. I looked up at her and sighed.

"I'm twenty-two years old," I said in response.

"Wow, you're young, if you don't mind me asking, why did you come to England?"

"My government has become corrupted. They've been hunting down every single YouTuber or social media star since the start of this year. My friends and I lived in the trap house, which is what we called it because we loved to do random YouTube skits and pranks." I said with a small smile.

"Where are your friends?"

"They've been taken by the government. I was the only one who escaped. I had to stow away on board the RMS Queen Mary; I knew that she was going to ship out again. In other words, I had been on the run for a day, and they always found me. Once I got to England, they wouldn't be able to catch me."

"Is that why you were interested in the sword and King Arthur?"

"Yeah, if I could pull that sword out from the stone then I would be able to help my country and protect those I love."

"You know what that sounds like?"

"What?" I ask

"It sounds like something Arthur would say, he always protected his kingdom, and no matter what threat arose, he would always move forward and continued to fight for his kingdom. You might very well be the reincarnation of King Arthur."

"Me?" I said, not believing what Amelia had to say. "That's not possible."

"Then why is it your looking for Excalibur? And that you came here. Something about you shows King Arthur."

"If I was the reincarnation of King Arthur, then why haven't I saved my country?"

"Because you need to find the strength to do that and the only way to find out if you are truly the reincarnation of King Arthur all you have to do is pull the sword out of the stone."

I let out a sigh not sure what to think. All I could think about was saving my friends and family and the citizens.

"Well, enough sitting around and moping let's continue on our trek." I looked up and nodded my head. Standing up, I put my water back in the bag just as Mark came back.

"Are we done? We should continue," he says.

"Yeah, let's go," I reply. Together Mark, Amelia and I made our way through the woods. After about almost two hours of walking, we came to a clearing and there in the middle of the forest was a sword wedged in stone.

"That's the sword!" says Amelia as she started jumping up and down. Mark had to practically push his wife down, trying to make sure that she didn't trip and hurt herself.

"So, we just approach it and try to pull it out?" I ask looking at the couple who nodded their heads.

"Do either of you want to try it first before I do?" I ask.

Mark volunteered to go first. He approached the sword and gripped the handle then started pulling at it. No matter how much Mark pulled, it wouldn't budge. Afterward, he gave up and walked away from the sword. Amelia went. Next, she walked over to the sword and started pulling as well but just like mark it didn't budge.

"Looks like it's up to you Sam," says Amelia as she made her way over to her husband. I gulped and walked over to the sword, gripping the handle with one hand I started to pull, as I pulled the sword came out of the stone. I let out a gasp as I looked at the sword it fits perfectly in my hand the rubber on the sword handle felt smooth, and the blade was sharp and silver.

"I was right! Sam, you are the reincarnation of King Arthur!" says Amelia as she curtsied. Mark was so stunned that when he saw Amelia curtsy, he made sure to bow. It was then that I realized that I was and always have been the reincarnation of King Arthur.
