Dragoned in Half

Guilt- Morbius

  As we walk out of the facility something feels different as I leave this time. The emotions that swim around in my chest are foreign to me. The way that I feel is foreign to me. When I came to mere moments from leading them out of the room, I was shocked. When I traveled into the portion of her soul that needed to be healed by me I never expected to make it out. Death has always been a priority for me instead off an option.
 
  It was inevitable that someday it would happen. One of my enemies would return and finally put me out of my misery. The good doctor would get tired of my little bouts of rebellion. Hell my brother could have been the one to do it if he had of gotten loose. I might have tried one day with one of my knives when I could no longer face all the bad that I have done in the world. Me dying has always been a possibility.
 
  However, the moment that I walked out of that facility and took a look around, I felt the weight of that decision leave me. My death was no longer as prominent as it had always been. Instead a shuddering breath left my chest and I felt as if my final mission was complete. When a warm feeling came over me and I felt the edges of my lips twitch I turned to look at our mate.
 
  She was encased tightly in my brothers arms and as I looked at them I was unbothered. The sight of them filled me and my dragon with joy. He was so excited that he couldn't help but to broadcast all of his idea of how our life would play out now that we could have one. The joy on their faces as they tasted their freedom was palpable. It was infectious and in the air all around us. Yet, there I stood.
 
  As he kissed her everything that surrounded me finally hit me. Someway I was able to feel the joy of Jefferson in the moment. It reminded of when we were children making our candy runs. Before I used to grab anything for myself, I would always make sure that he got what he wanted even if it meant that I could no longer have the treat that I wanted. I did it just to feel and see the joy that he would have. As she battled in that same kiss I could feel her emotions so much stronger.
 
  This is what we have fought for. The pure happiness and joy of our mate and brother. Now that we have them, we will never let them go.
 
  I felt the pleasure that she received from his kiss. As her body grew heated, mine decided to play a part in it as well. I found myself taking a step toward them when the words of my dragon hit me. Everything around me heightened as my brain started to run through scenarios. Apollo growled as he realized that my focus was no longer on our bonded pair.
 
  When I looked up, my gaze landed right on hers. I could see the question in her eyes as she appraised me. A part of me was so shocked not to see the look of hatred or anger in that warm chocolate gaze of hers. The other part wanted to bring that fiery anger back and see just how well it could transform into passion. However, I know that neither of those would be happening today.
 
  When she took a step forward and I offered her hand my fingers twitched. The action is one that I know cost her way more than she bargained for. As I stared at her hand I saw nothing but a life of possibilities. If I took her hand then I would be a part of the happy union that she was created. I would have a mate and a family. If I took her hand it would be with the possibility that one day our family would grow into little feet that would someday toddle around. If I took her hand then I would have the life that I wanted as a young boy.
 
  This is everything that we have wanted. We must hesitate no longer my human. All you have to do is take this simple offering. It will be the first step to a loving and fruitful life.
 
  So, with a deep shuddering breath I knew that there was only one decision to make. As I heard a conversation off to my left, my decision became firm. The words that left my lips are ones that I never hoped to speak. However, that bastard forced me into this decision and now I have no choice. He has escaped and is no longer here in control of me and yet I am still under his thumb. I shake my head no with so little movement that I don't think that any one else could see the gesture.
 
  "I Morbius Murdock reject you Julia Henning as my soul bonded mate and life partner" As the first word spills from my lips, I throw my dragon into the cage that I kept him in for years. I blink in horror as I watch as he is torn apart by invisible forces inside my head. I clench my teeth as my legs threaten to buckle from the pain in my chest. As expected my brother releases as furious roar as my mate screams.
 
  I know that she wont die from this due to our bond but I know it hurts like hell. I take all the emotions that I feel from her side of the bond and I push them away as she collapses and my brother goes to catch her. Using this moment that I have; I rush past them and back to the doors of the facility. As I enter the metal container once more I have to blink rapidly. My eyes water as the guilt of what I have to do weighs heavily on my chest.
 
  I cant be a part of what they are offering me. As long as that man has breath, he will come after me for everything that I have. They are all that I have and I can not lose them. They may hate me now but I can only hope that someday they understand. My death is not off the table. As long as it is this way then any bond I have would destroy them too the moment that I leave this world. My feet pick up the pace as the door to his office comes into sight. I will be leaving this world. This is a fact that I have accepted despite all the hope in the moment. The one thing that I do know for sure about my death, is that if I am leaving this world, then that bastard is coming with me.
