Marked: Part 2; The Wronged

Chapter 80

 Amilia staggered backwards as she shook from the impact. She put her hand to her chest and then fell to the ground. Blood dripped from her chest and she fell to her knees. She couldn't see who was standing in front of her, holding the sword, but she could tell they were unsteady. The figure stepped back and dropped their sword and then quickly went up to her and touched her cheek while pulling her closer. But as always, she woke up. Her mother had opened the curtains, and it was surprisingly bright out. Which didn't make any sense since she was underground, but she assumed the crystals somehow worked with the sun and the moon.

"Up, up, up!" She clapped. "Come on, your day is a busy one." Amilia staggered out of bed and got dressed, she yawned and sighed and then walked to the dining room, putting her shoulder onto the table and fist to her face, holding it there. She ate her breakfast, without anyone there. Then she started to walk to the front gate, at which point Cristel came up behind her and put her backpack onto her back. Cristel gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Have a good day at school, honey, see you later tonight!" Amilia waved to her and continued on, she went to the corner and waited for a few minutes, then proceeding onward. She got to the school and went up the stairs.

"Alone today are we? A beautiful girl such as yourself shouldn't be all by her lonesome." Amilia stopped and looked up to him.

"You wanna come mere and say that again?" She said with her hand in a fist.

"Ha, ha-" He laughed, "No of course not."

"Didn't think so." She walked past him but stopped when he grabbed her arm. "Excuse me?"

"I, uh-" He let go of her and shook his head. "I just want to talk, please don't walk away, darling."

"What did you just say?"

"Uh- Amilia?" Amilia turned around to look at him.

"Stay away from me." Amilia walked forward and she could feel the anger and frustration of the man all too clearly pining for her. Amilia had her suspicions about him. His eyes were purple and he seemed to throw anger fits. It reminded her of someone she knew all too well... But she knew she needed to focus on school at the moment, until she was released at least. She sat down, in her normal seat in Mr. Beath's English class. And when the bell rang, she opened her book. The day went smoothly, going off without a hitch and ending as swiftly as possible. Amilia walked out of her history class after the final bell rang, putting her book into her bag. Then she threw her bag over her shoulder.

"Hey, hey! Amilia!" She heard once more.

"I told you to back off." She said as the man came to her side.

"Please, please, just let me treat you once."

"No."

"He won't know, he's not even here!"

"Just because he's away for a tour doesn't mean I am cheating on him."

"Again, sweet pea, it's not cheating. I'm not going to take you to a restaurant or anything, just a simple thing. Like bowling, or skating as friends!" Amilia bursted through the front doors and kept walking.

"Don't you follow me." She said, looking at him. He grabbed her again, actually stopping her. You think she would be able to drag him, with how skinny he was and how strong she should be, but she couldn't. He pulled her back and whispered into her ear.

"My mistress becomes me to win your heart, Amilia, darling." She pulled her hand from him and stepped back. "I can not afford to go back to her without you."

"Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Please, let me take you out. She has given me a second chance, I can't be out of commission again. I can be free of my debt to her after this."

"Back off." She said moving back. He grinded his teeth.

"Come here." He said grabbing for her. Amilia evaded him, turning around to run. She ran for a while, but he still kept a good amount on her. She barely reached the door before he pinned her against it. "I am not this way, I promise, I treat my women well." Amilia tried to break free from him. "Stop, stop, just let me explain." He paused. "I believe you know who I'm working for. You know what she is like. I just want to have my life back."

"So do I."

He laughed. "She won't let you, but she promised me mine." Amilia rolled her eyes.

"And you believe that?"

"She promised me, and she keeps her promises. Look, all we have to do is date a little while, make Jasvinder jealous and then break up, then you can hook back up with him and be happy go lucky the rest of your life." Suddenly something grabbed the back of his shirt and pulled him back and shoved him off the porch and to the driveway.

"Get the hell off of my property. If I ever see you around here again, so help me- you will wish you were dead. Now beat it!" The boy ran off down the road. "Are you alright?" Oglm said, looking to Amilia. Amilia slid down the door and stared at the driveway. "Amilia?" Oglm said, putting down the groceries and putting his hand on her shoulder. She jumped into his arms, giving him a hug. He hugged her back. "It's alright." He patted her on the back. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah." She staggered. He took her out of the hug and put his hand on her cheek.

"Come on, let's go inside." He hit her shoulder a few times and then rubbed her arm. Amilia stood up and Oglm held her in his arm. Then together they walked inside and sat down on the couch together.
