I am Broken

Chapter 18- Jeremy POV

*a few days earlier* 

           I had hoped Willow would have returned by now, but I hadn’t seen her since she visited me, I sat here in this damp dark cell waiting for her brightness to return or even awaiting my doom, this sick idea of having my memory’s taken from me then even worse having to live with them in harmony, it makes me sick. 

          I give anything to get out of here but with my powers suppressed I’m as good as human, how pathetic. Though I didn’t have super hearing I could defiantly hear a scuffle going on outside my door, I stood and walked over to the small window in the door, it looked dark out there, there are usually dimly lit lights scattered around the corridor but there was nothing, I thought I saw a dark figure move in the distance, but I felt my eyes playing tricks on me.

         “Is anyone there?” I called out into the darkness but was met with utter silence, strange I know I’m not much to guard but there is always one down here, it was usually Lucas, but I knew today was his day off, lucky I suppose. I suddenly felt the temperature drop, like a ghost had walked through my soul and now I could tell I wasn’t alone in this cell, “show yourself!” I shouted out, a low chuckle came from my cot as I turned, I saw someone I did not expect, “I know you, I saw you at my wedding, why are you here?” I asked.

       “Ahh yes, a glorious day ruined, I can’t say I regret it though if you had married it would have been much harder to get what I wanted” he explains “and what do you want?” I asked him “oh I already have what I want and in the few days I will complete what I have waited lifetimes for, but I need someone useful, someone loyal to my most precious thing” I sighed “are you going to be this cryptic all the time?” 

       He chuckled “things are on a need-to-know basis and you don’t need to know everything just yet, do you want out of here or not boy?” he asked, and I already knew my answer, he was dangling my freedom in front of my face and I was going to take every opportunity to take it “what do I need to do to get out of here?” his face grew a devilish smile “nothing my dear boy, I have already arranged everything, in a few days a dark witch will come and rescue you, along as your completely loyal to me we won’t have any problems, one thing you need to know is that I will have a different face then but you will know who I am” 

        “is that all I have to do, is sit here and wait, how do I know you aren’t just teasing me?” I asked, his smile dropped and I could feel the room getting smaller as his anger rose, “do not test me boy, your freedom will come, you are useful to my cause but don’t push It” I nodded not sure how to reply “I will be leaving now, await my witch and all will be glorious” he walked past me towards the door his hand partly the way through already, his witch must be someone powerful to conjure this sort of power.

        “what is your name?” I called out to him before he left “my name is Valick, son” he spoke and then he was gone, my heart stopped when I realised who he was, he was my father my actual father but I thought he was dead, I was told he was dead but things made slight sense, if he said he would have another face the next time we meet, he was using someone else’s body to heal, a clever move. 

        I could see the lights flicker back on in the corridor, the guard was lay on the ground, I had hoped he was dead but much to my dismay he was just asleep, he awoke and rose to his feet with a confused expression on his face, our eyes met and his turned to anger, “did you do this? What happened?” Valick was careful enough to not kill him, that would be harder to explain “I don’t know, I’m in a cell, you on the other hand are clearly not getting enough sleep at home, I would grab some coffee if I was you, I wouldn’t want Lucas to find out you are sleeping on the job” I chuckled.

         “Shut it prisoner, I have nothing to explain to you, and since our Luna isn’t here there is no one stopping us from giving you a beating” I was confused “what do you mean your Luna isn’t here, where is Willow?” I asked “she’s miss…” he went to speak but quickly stopped himself, “shut it and stop asking questions, she’s out with our alpha” I knew he was lying, and things were starting to add up. Valick said I was loyal to his precious thing and now this guard nearly slipped up on where Willow really is. 

         I would wait, I would be patient, I now knew the goal. He had Willow and she was the last person I cared about. I decided at that point my romantic ambitions would never happen so I would do right by her, he was right I was loyal to her and only her, now begins my wait.
