The Soulmate Mark

C H A P T E R 36

After a few seconds of holding her hand he collapsed on the floor still holding her hand.He was shaking and his eyes shut immediately.The doctors scrambled around the room.Inside his  head and Athena's were different.The room was dark.Xander stood up and looked around.Out of nowhere Oryn showed up. "Well,well,well.So this is the famous Xander everyone is talking about." "Who are you.What is going on and where is Athena?" "Well that is no way to greet your great grandmother." He looked confused. "I'm Oryn, your great grandmother.Where we are is none of your concern.I'm honestly concerned why you aren't scared or wanting to fight." "Why would I". "Athena didn't tell you.I'm responsible for your curse and the reason why all the plants in your land are dead.Aswell as why everyone in Asterin has a Soulmate Mark". "Okay, but that doesn't really give me reason to want to fight,atleast not yet." "Well you won't after what I am about to do". Athena shows up on the floor crying. "Why is she crying.What did you do?" "She saw you die". "But I'm not dead". "Yet and she doesn't know that.But now it is your turn". Her magic holds back Xander as the scenery changed. "What is happening." "Just watch". A tree shows up and Athena is under it.She looks around confused and sees Xander.She gets up from crying. "Why are we here".Xander said. "Well that tree is the one Margret died under.Your beloved Athena will be the same".  "No". Athena starts saying Xander's name.A bunch of people started to show up and they were in a zombie like state. "Who are they?" "Just the people I killed". "Athena!".He screams. "Behind you!" He tries to break free but he can't. She looks around and she sees she is surrounded.She makes a run for it.She wasn't successful.

TW: Mentions of stabbing and slitting throat*

One of the people caught her and stabbed her.He threw her on the floor and kept on stabbing her.She was screaming the whole time. "Oryn stop this now". "No.Why would I.It's fun to see you suffer". She kept getting stabbed.Blood flew out of her mouth.She turned her head to look at Xander.She put out her hand before her eyes closed.Her heart stopped and everyone dissapeared.Xander fell to the floor.He was feeling every emotion.He got up. "Well Xander how do you feel?" He didn't respond. "Join me and we could be powerful together.No one could hurt you again.You would be the most powerful king there was."She put out her hand for him to touch.He pushed her hand away. "I don't want that." He picked up a dagger.He walked closer to Oryn. He slit her throat.Her black blood was on his hands but he didn't care.Once he realized he was in shock.He dropped the dagger.He stepped back and looked at the blood on his hands.He was digusted.He looked at Oryn one last time.He turned around and looked at Athena.
