The Marshal Mystery

Forced to live

Clarke opened her eyes. Looking around she saw nothing familiar. Her wrists were chained to the walls. She was drowzy and her vision blury. She heard footsteps enter the room and tried to break free, but with no luck. The man put his hand under her chin and lifted up her head. His face unfamiliar to her. The man said, "I shall rid the earth from all you Marshall hybrids. You are abominations." He let go of her chin.

A glass flew accross the room and shattered. "Dammit, it's been 4 days and we still haven't found her. Where are we with that?" Klaus asked. "We found tyre tracks in the mud, not too far from her den and followed it 20 miles to the tar roads where we lost it. Her scent is also all over." Jay said. "Take men and search all the villages." Klaus ordered. "Klaus, she's powerfull and strong. She'll survive." Jay said before he and the other hybrids left.

"Where's your pack? the man asked, "It's been 4 days and no sign of them coming to rescue you." "I'm a lone wolf!" Clarke yelled. Judging by the symbol between your shoulder blades, you are a Marshall alpha. You want to tell me that after surviving the bombs on your pack 8 years ago, you're the only Marshall hybrid on earth. In 8 years no new Marshalls were born." the man said. "Yes. I was eight years old 8 years ago. Was it you who murdered my pack? You who killed my parents and family?" she asked sarcastically. The man laughed. "Now that, that wasn't me, but I applaud who ever did it. The Marshalls killed everyone I loved. I know of other hybrid packs, but never have they killed innocents. Other bloodlines control their lust." the man answered. "What you're doing now is no different. Killing an innocent. One who knows nothing about your family being murdered." Clarke said. Shut up!" the mans said angrily as he hit her accross the face. "You said 4 days. Last thing I remember I got shot." she said. "Yes, I kept you sedated until now to weaken you. See, you haven't fed in 4 days." the man replied.

The search party returned. "Klaus, who ever took her does not want us to find her. We found her blood smeared on trees in all the villages. Only someone who doesn't want anyone to find her would do that." Jay said. "I don't care if you have to search through every building for miles, FIND HER!" Klaus ordered. He was clearly irritated.

"8 years I've waited. After the bombing I thought there were surviving Marshalls thag fled. I've waited 8 years for their return and now you tell me it's just you. You're lying!" he yelled as he hit het with a weapon accross the abdomen. It caused several puncture wounds. "You're pretty weak for an alpha." he continued. "I am not an alpha. I am not part of a Marshall pack. I was found a while ago by the phoenix pack. They taught me better ways. The last person I killed was over a month ago. I am in control now." Clarke said clearly irritated. "In control you say?" the man said doubtfully as he cut open his wrist and held it within her reach. She stared at him, staying in perfect control. Thia thought she heard Clarke's voice. She followed the sound. It led her to a room. As soon as she entered she stepped on a pressure plate. The door shut behind her and she got shot with a sedative. When the rest of the pack got the door open, they realized that she too was taken.

Clarke wasn't healing like she should and if the bleeding didn't stop soon she would die. The pack headed back to the den to report to Klaus what had just happened. "Since you're weak and nearly dead, I went to get some motivation." the man said smiling. Clarke looked up and saw him holding Thia. She was unconcious. "Let's see if you'll talk now." he continued, "Where are the other Marshalls?" "I told you. There are no others. Take me. Kill me. But please just let her go." Clarke begged. "You know I can't do that." he replied as he laid Thia on a table. He picked up the same weapon he hit Clarke with. Holding it over Thia's neck he said, "Last chance." "Please, I don't know anything else." Clarke continued to beg. "Not good enough." he said as he pulled back his arm, ready to hit Thia. Knowing what's comming Clarke took all her last strength to let out a roar. It was so load that the man's ears started bleeding. She broke free and without hesitation shoved her hand into his chest and ripped his heart out. Clarke then passed out from blood loss.

The pack heard the roar. It was like they were forced to come and assist. They arrived to find the man literally heartless. Thia was fine once she awoke. They found Clarke unconcious. She was still bleeding from the puncture wounds. They took her back to the den and used a burning hot knife to stop the bleeding. Clarke opened her eyes and gasped for air. Looking around she realized she was at Raven's Rock. She saw a figure approach. Only when the figure got close enough she saw it was her mother. "Mom?" Clarke said shocked. "Hallo my dear, I've missed you." Hayley replied. "How's this possible?" Clarke asked, "You're dead." "You're dying." Hayley replied, " You didn't heal as you wanted to die. You wanted to be with your parents and family once more. Clarke hugged her mother and started crying tears of joy. Then she asked, "Where's dad?" "I don't know." her mom replied. Hearing her heart stop, Klaus yelled, "No, you are not dying on my watch!" He started doing chest compressions. "Dear, you have to go back now. Before it's too late. Your fight is not over yet. Klaus and his pack needs you. You still have a long life ahead of you." Hayley said hastely. "No, I don't want to loose you again. I heard our pack was murdered. So what kind of life will I live with a target on my back? I'll only put Klaus and his pack in danger." Clarke replied. "Go back. Fight. I love you and will always be with you." Hayley said as she pushed Clarke off a cliff. Clarke yelled from fear as she was falling.

"Come on!" Klaus said as he hit her chest with one mighty blow. All the shock woke her. She gasped for air. Clearly in shock and somewhat confused. Klaus gave her a bloodbag which she quickly devoured. "I know you're hungry, but please tell us what danger we're up against." Klaus said. "You needn't worry. I killed him. As far as I can tell he worked alone." she replied. She got up and walked off in the direction of her den. "Isnit just me or is there something different about her?" Jay asked. "I see it too, it's like she's more confident." Ezra said. "And that killer look in her eyes." Jay continued. Then Klaus said, "She'll talk when she's ready. We have no idea what she endured this past few days."
