I am Broken

Chapter 16- Jake POV

            “Get off me Gray!!” I shouted as I was pulled on to the plane “I have to go back for her!” I screamed as I fought against his strength, but it was no use, I had no strength left and he wasn’t letting go, “I can’t do that Jake, he will kill you!!” my vision was still a blur, but I knew one thing Willow wasn’t with me and the pain I felt was indescribable, it felt like it wasn’t even my own.

             People I knew but struggled to recognised were running past me as I was dumped into a plane seat, my brain told me to stand and get off this plane, but my body did not listen, I couldn’t even contact James my wolf, I was just too weak, and the sounds of the engines and the feel of the plane told me it was too late. Mia stood before me, her eyes puffy from crying “I’m sorry we couldn’t get her Jake, I really am” I could feel rage building up inside me “get away from me Mia!” 

               “I’m sorry” she whispered, I didn’t want to be angry at her, but I couldn’t direct it anywhere else, she was just in my path and took the brunt of it, Gray came over and pulled her away, I could hear his whispers to her “Marcus has woken, he’s asking for you” they kept that basted after what he just pulled! “I don’t think I have the strength to do that right now Grey, he put Ricky in danger!” Gray sighed and I was finished being weak, it took all my strength, but I stood, Mia looked at me with a shocked expression, but I move passed her and made my way to the bedroom at the back of the plane.

                “Jake stop!” Gray called but no one stopped me, even Mia placed her hand on Gray’s chest to stop him moving towards me “he needs answers, we all do” Gray’s expression was pained, he was a very loyal person, maybe to loyal sometimes but It wasn’t a bad quality, I opened the door to the room that once held Willow, this was all my fault, I should have just stayed dead and then my freedom wouldn’t have been taken.

               Marcus staired at me, his eyes unmoving from mine “I owe you an explanation, I suppose” I had to chuckle “you suppose? How long have you not been yourself Marcus?” I asked, “since the first time I saw Willow, since her wedding, Valick had been a part of me since he died, I was trying to be a good son while his body healed, but I soon realised I was the passenger in it all not him, as soon as he saw her, he took over” 

              “So, you have never been yourself?” I asked and he shook his head in reply, “I maybe a demon but I would never be this cruel” I laughed “that’s the funniest thing I have ever heard, how can you say that when you have clearly experimented on people before I arrived!” I felt my anger rise again, and my fist clenched, I was ready to punch him, I desperately wanted to but I pulled myself back as he spoke “yes but it was never forced, not until my father took over, anyone who went through the changes was voluntarily, I want peace between species, interspecies relationships, a future where we can love anyone we want.”

             “What I can’t understand is how you let your father take over?” I questioned him, he needed to give us the truth if we were to move forward “when he saw her at the wedding, he had this burst of power, I fought back and I thought I was regaining control but he brought in a powerful dark witch, after she placed a spell on me I had no hope, whoever she is, she is too powerful to beat alone.”

              “We need to re-group and find a way to beat him” he was right but where do we even start, we had fled, and I wasn’t even sure where to “where do we even start?” I asked “well, I know where he will be going, William has a strong hold around a hundred miles north of my home, and If my hunch was right, when William stormed Carson’s castle he was after my mother, so the must be gathering there, but we need back up, god knows if my home is in ruins or not” 

              “Well it didn’t look pretty when we left” I chuckled at him, he face was pained but I didn’t care anymore, something felt broken and the master servant relationship felt severed, maybe I wasn’t even linked to Marcus. I was about to leave the room when Marcus spoke one more time “I know what he wants with Willow Jake and it’s not pretty, if she goes dark, you know the only way to stop her will to be to kill her” his words pained me, but they were not wrong.
