The Secrets of The Soul Wanderer (In

Chapter 28

I finally made my decision, I was going to kill both Marnie and my mother. I imagined using my mind to dismember their limbs, it felt good to do it to my mother. However my mind made the image of telekinectically tearing the limbs off my sister, simply revolting.
I heard someone call my name, I looked down and saw three bloody faces come flying towards me. I was glad that Marvin, Zoey and Nio had survived the massacre on the ground.
A smile spread across my face, until Marvin and Nio stopped and said these words, "it can't be you, this is dangerous Claire. The power you have now, it will kill off your remaining humanity, you will only see red forever." I simply ignored him and flew up to the sky, I saw my mother and Marnie a top a floating island, it was quite small to fight on.

Nevertheless I landed on it, and saw my mother with such hatred. I wanted to kill, revive and kill her again just to quench my blood thirst. It wasn't long until her fake american accent really bugged me, "Claire dear, well done you killed your god. Now you must worship me instead, otherwise I will kill your sister." She tugged a metal chain that choked Marnie, I didn't wait for the monologue. I flew at her with lightning speed, tackling my mother like a very fast and powerful rugby player.
My mother screamed and shouted, "you fucking monster! How fucking dare you?" I ignored her and carried her to the edge of Earth's atmosphere, then dropped her, I followed the falling woman and within a few seconds I dismembered her legs like a Barbie doll.

There was so much blood gushing out of the legless holes at the bottom of the torso, sadly when she landed on the floating island. Sadly she was dead, I was really looking forward to torturing the Maker.
I was about to chop up her arms with my clawed hands, until I heard a scream of "Stop! Stop it Claire, please!" I saw Marnie run towards me and tried to pull me off. In anger I slashed her face, leaving her with a long vertical slash that gouged out her left eye. More screams erupted, I ignored Marnie and focussed on my prey.

Suddenly I listned to myself, did I just think prey? I looked down and saw the blood stained curved claws, my primal rage had done this. I killed my mother and blinded my sister, before I could speak I heard a gunshot and just like that everything went black.

I awoke to the sound of chains, the smell of burning electrics and the taste of blood. I looked down to see that I was tied up to a metal wall, with many wires around my bald head. I didn't care where I was, I thought of killing the person who took me here inly to get an electric shock down my spine.
It stung a little but it was very short lived, I heard a door open and saw a familiar face. It was Marnie, she wore an eye patch over her left eye, she looked scared of me, good I thought.
To my astonishment, she sat down on the floor and looked at me with her right and only remaining eye. Only to look down again and focus on the glossy, linoleum floor. I knew I was in the school somewhere probably on a makeshift soundstage as I saw foam padding all over the room.

Marnie sighed and without any prompt started talking, "they say the Knight who kills the Holy One, becomes the Holy One themselves if they have a balanced heart. You are technically the Holy One Claire, but I am here to use my mage powers to keep that monster of yours dormant." It was at this point where I heard her cry, she looked like she was in deep distress. Marnie wiped her tears away with her sleeve and continued, "but because of that monster of yours, a lot of humans have stopped believing in us. The attacks got traction into the human world, we are getting weaker and weaker everyday. Knight City hasn't made any new souls which means human babies are dying everywhere. Marvin, Zoey, Nio, myself and you are worth altogether over a billion dollars in reward money."

Marnie got up and with her telekinesis ripped off three giant foam pads and threw them at me, it was the equivalent of a pillow fight in terms of force.
Marnie clealy frustrated said to me, "this is all your fault. You are the Holy One now Claire, you have to make people believe we are not evil! Only you can control humanity and Knights, I beg of you Claire, save us. I don't wanna die."
Just like that I saw my sister wail out in pain, the whole room was destroyed in the process, all the foam was ripped off and cracks appeared on the walls.

Seeing Marnie like this hurt me, I tried to talk to her but it was no use. I shut my eyes and heard whispers, I followed the whispers they were saying the same thing, "Oh Holy One, save us please." It was a call for help from Knights, I travelled deeper and that's where I heard the raw cries of humans. They all had the same issue, giving birth to stillborn babies and facing the many miscarriages.

I faced an internal conflict, I wasn't ready to be the Holy One. I knew who I was and that was a Soul Wanderer with a special power to go apeshit in battle. I opened my eyes and said to Marnie, "hey sis you know what? I think you'd be a better Holy One than me." Marnie's eyes looked like saucers, wide with shock and nodded in agreement. Marnie muttered a spell that realeased me from the chains, I felt the heavy chains drop from my ankles and wrists. Only to feel my sister hug me, I no longer had long clawed hands, just regular Knight hands so I wasn't going to hurt her.

Marvin, Nio and Zoey entered the room, only to command Marnie to step away from me, she stood in between me and the other three Knights. "It's ok guys, Claire isn't fit to be the Holy One. I am your new Holy One, I demand respect and for my suster to be free from prejudice."
