The Given

CHAPTER TEN√ pursuers

Marvel's POV

Hahaha. You have got to be kidding me. Father! Hell! With that disgusted look on his face directed on my way am sure he's fighting to get on the top list of my haters.

Perfect, I thought sarcastically. Well at least Given isn't pleased by his appearance.

" you also joined them huh? Why am I even asking its so obvious that you would " Given said bitterly.

" Don't say that son am just here to help" Given's father said. He seemed in his early thirties which means he probably had Given in his teens. Wait! How old is the legend of the Given? How old is Given?

That bitch is trouble. She is probably the only chance I have now to getting back with my son. Once I tell him, he won't hesitate to kill her.

"Excuse me?" I almost shouted at him. He glared at me in anger.
" listen son kill her!"

" my own creation?" Given retorted in disbelief. " I know the pain is a sucker once you loose your creation but its for the best. She is your demise!" His father hissed. He is nothing like Given, I noted. While his son is beautiful and painfully handsome at the same time, his father held sour lines to his almost youthful features. Hell, you would say they are brothers.

With her present, my plan won't succeed. I need to get rid of her, quick. Then the supreme feared power would. Be. Mine.

" I don't trust him" I whispered so that Given may hear me but to my disappointment his father heard too. How? Dunno.

He snarled at me and I almost fell down out of shock. His eyes which were the green as Given's were now dark. His claws elongated and he smirked at me.
" she is playing you son, her abilities are more than she let you see".

Given growled" your not going anywhere closer to her Erman!".
Erman laughed " so you remember my name son, but that's not my interest. Am not here to talk about my name, am here to save you from your own creation".

Given snorted " I don't need your saving. You should have done that centuries ago when you willingly gave me to the lords of hell!" He spat angrily.

Wait! Centuries! My head is spinning. Hahaha, am confused. They should be walking with staffs but then demons are known to keep their youth. Ow.

Because she is the step stone to ultimate strength and power.

"Because you my dear son-" .

" don't call me that!" Snapped Given. "- as you wish Darius." Given stiffened upon hearing the name. Is it his real name?

" But you have created your downfall, she has the ability to shut you out of this reality, destroy your core of power. She is directly connected to you by forces of creation."

The room fell silent as Given digested the words. I don't know what Given is saying but by detecting Erman's thoughts, its crystal clear he ain't lying. Meaning he would kill me so that no one can get hold of me. Core of power? Can I even destroy that? The hell whatever it is, sounds powerful and dangerous.

Sucks.

But am confused. I remember way to clearly his thoughts. The stepping stone to ultimate strength and power. The silence was broken as screeches of demon bats and other supernatural being approach got louder.

" looks like the demons weren't the only one informed" Erman said as he smiled at me.

You would be the death of him.

His gaze focused on me. Shit! Why didn't I die in that cliff? No,no. Way back from being raped. No, way back from the jaguars in the jungle. No, way back from the cannibals. The thought brought shivers and I cursed silently. I have cheated death way to many times. I should be dead already!
