I am Broken

Chapter 12- Marcus POV

               My plan was coming together and when I had her in my arms, I felt complete. Years of waiting to see if she would be re-born after I made the biggest mistake of my other life, and now my wait had finally paid off even if I am not in my original body, I have seen her power and I know she can heal me, heal my body and restore me to my former glory ‘you will never get away with this’ oh yes this annoying son of mine, I almost forgot ‘shut it boy, don’t worry when I’m back in my own body I will give you the sweet release of death.’

                ‘You won’t get away with this, you don’t deserve to be alive I should have never helped you’ I had to laugh ‘ahh but you did and that was your first mistake, did you ever think I would love what came from that lunatic you call your mother, I was punished to be with her so I took my fun when I needed and unfortunately you all came from it’ he was beginning to give me a headache, I knew he was fighting hard to free himself from the cage I had placed him in.

               ‘Do you think we would want to call you our father, your nothing but a disgusting snake, feeding on others but never strong enough to defend yourself, wasn’t it our lunatic of a mother that ended your pathetic life’ oh my dear boy how you are going to regret that statement ‘ahh yes it was her but who was the one to offer his body as a conduit while my body healed and reformed thanks to the most powerful witches out there and when I am finished I will have my revenge on the ones that call themselves gods’

              ‘You are crazier than I thought, I will do everything in my power to stop you getting what you want, Valick. You will die by my blade next’ I was finished with this repetitive conversation, so I started to push him back in to the little cage I made for him in his own mind. I was grateful in my own way what he had done for me but when I saw her at that wedding, I couldn’t lay dormant in my son’s head anymore, I took my chance, and I haven’t let go since and I have enjoyed my freedom.

            When I saw that poor helpless boy dying and watching her save him, my obsession hadn’t disappeared and I knew she would be the one to bring me back to my former glory, though it seems she has no memory of her past life which I guess is a bonus to me as I was the one who ended her life so shortly but if she hadn’t of fought me so hard I wouldn’t of had to hold her down, she only had herself to blame.

             “Marcus, food is ready, everyone is waiting” Gray had come to get me, he was a loyal dog and knew Marcus well which is why I found it very funny when he couldn’t tell when I took over, my son’s actions were easy to replicate and his voice was no different “thank you Gray, will Willow be joining us?” I asked, “yes she was getting ready with Mia, and will join us in the great hall” I placed my dinner coat on and gave Gray a nod to lead the way “do we have any more updates on Jake’s were abouts?” I asked as we walked down my corridor, paintings hung on the walls.

             “He has landed and will be hear within the hour” a smile crept across my face “once he arrives back bring him to me and have him beaten in front of us as punishment” Gray’s face fell and I knew he could not go against his alpha, stupid wolfs always a little to loyal “I cannot beat him Marcus, he is my alpha” “well get someone who can, I will not have him defy my orders and just fly off and do whatever he wants, he will learn that if he wants to run free it will come at a price” Gray’s head dropped but he knew he could not argue, he was loyal to me or well Marcus.    

           I reached two large doors and the talk behind the doors became a whisper, as the doors opened everyone gathered to their feet and bowed their heads slightly as I made my way to the top of grand marble table, I must say I liked how his home was designed, it had much better taste than mine and he was clearly a lot wealthier than me, but I have my tasteless wife to thank for that, making my life living hell with all her jealous behaviours, and that jealousy was what caused this wretched life of mine and when I find her and I will make her beg for death.

            “Please everyone be seated” we all took a seat and I waited for my guest of honour to arrive, I didn’t have to wait long as Mia brought her in, she was wearing a beautiful green dress and her sliver hair was styled amazingly with black crown sat upon her head, If we were back in my time she would have been considered a god, it made my undead heart race, I knew once I could have her in my own body, I would be complete and finally free. 

             I stood as she walked down the black carpet that sat in the middle of the three marble tables and pulled out the chair next to me, she had a faint smile, but it was still beautiful, I knew my blood was pulling her to me even though I wasn’t in my original form, I wasn’t stupid enough to let her have Marcus blood, she was to be mine and after tonight I will complete just that. I lulled her into a false sense of security after I told her she would be begging me to take her, but I had no interest in waiting, a smile formed across my face as I enveloped the thought.

            “You look beautiful tonight Willow” she smiles more as she sits down, taking the complement “thank you Marcus you scrub up well yourself” I gently caressed her cheek and for a second she doesn’t pull away but it doesn’t last long as she pulls herself back to reality ‘she will never accept you no matter how hard you try’ that boy was back and my anger was rising ‘shut your mouth boy, no matter how hard you try I will always win!’ my fist was clenching tightly around a glass as he voice burned into my head ‘you are alone Valick, no one knows you're alive and no one cares you're dead!’

          The glass shatters in my hand as my rage boiled over “SHUT UP!” the room quickly went silent as I realised I had said that out loud, I looked down at Willow as she was startled by my outburst but took it upon herself to grab my glass covered hands and begin to heal them, she looked up in shock that it was working but what she didn’t know that was the power I needed tonight so I loosened the rains on her powers for this evening.

            “It worked, are my ability’s back?” she asked desperate hope in her eyes, “I have aloud your healing powers back temporally as I have someone close to me, I need healing” as I spoke, my hand slammed on the table without my control, he was fighting back and I was losing this battle, I needed my tonic. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a flask some would mistake for alcohol but, it was what was keeping me in control, I had the same problem around a year ago and that’s when I called on the best witch I knew, she created and tonic and help me with my master plan, dark witches always love chaos.

              Taking the biggest gulp I could my body shook but was once again silent, Willow looked at me with worried eyes and I fell deeper into my obsession it had to be now, I could not wait any longer. “my apologise family, I am not quite feeling myself tonight, but I feel better now, guards can you please bring in the body” no one in Marcus command knew it was my body and I made sure that my face would not be revealed, but I had slowly placed my most loyal guards in his place so when the time was right I knew I had a way out as he wouldn’t go down without a fight but much to my happiness his body would be to weak at least for twenty four hours before he would regain control and by then we will be long gone.

            My body was placed on my table right in front of Willow, her eyes widened staring down at a black and blue decomposing body “how am I supposed to save someone who has been long dead, I would never be able to pull them back and the body its past saving” I pulled her close to me and held her hand tightly “please try for me Willow, he is very important and you are more powerful than you think, I will help you, but please I will not ask anything more of you again” she looked deep into my eyes, searching for the truth “will you let me go if I do this for you, will you let me go home?”

              I nodded slowly “after you do this, I promise you will take you to your home” she seemed pleased with the answer and began to examine the body “just don’t remove his mask, he very proud of his looks and would hate to see himself looking like he does now” she nodded and continued her progress, crowds had moved from their seats and began to form around the table, I wanted them to see her for what she is, just as dark as me.

               The winds picked up and windows banged and opened as she placed her hands on my body, she was drawing my soul home and I felt the pull but I wouldn’t leave just yet, my body was in such a state I needed her to heal it first “I can feel him but I can’t see him, he won’t come back” she turned to me with sadness in her eyes, she felt defeated “the body needs to be healed first” I explained but her eyes dropped “that requires someone to sacrifice their life for his, I cannot ask anyone to do that, no matter how much I want to go home”

              “Don’t worry dear, I already have someone ready” my smile made her nervus and when she’s saw and blooded and bruised Jake and called out in horror “JAKE!” she screamed as she ran to his side “I can’t take his life, nothing will make me do that!” I laughed demonically as her defiance turned to horror as I grabbed poor little Ricky from Gray’s hands “DO IT NOW OR THE BABY WILL TAKE HIS PLACE!!"
