Chapter 8: Marcus

Hi EVERYONE!! LOOOOONG TIME NO SEE LOL. So yeah heres chapter 8

She cant go to war. She'll die. I need to stop this. Its all Noah's fault. How could he set her up for death. I want to kill Noah. How could he do this. This is someone's life. As I was walking back I meet up with Noah. Right there through instinct I slam him against the outside wall of the mess hall. "You are freaking crazy!" I shouted and threw my fist at the wall. "You are like a brother to me and this is what you do because you think she beat me up? She didn't get that in your freaking head Noah!" I notice his face go pale and I just want to kill him then and there. Kiara may not seem fragil, but she is. If I ever told her she was she'd beat me up and probably cry. She was easy to use as a punching bag because she didn't show much emotion, that didn't mean she does not get beaten and bruised on the way. She snaps easily. Push her to her boundries and she will hurt you for it. I had to learn the hard way. "You are making her go through hell and she could possibly die because of you! What if it was Maddie you were puttting out there?" I ask. I know that's his weakness and I shouldn't be usuing it, yet he crossed the line with Kiara. Putting her out in the feild was smart. She had skill that somne people here would kill to have but that doesn't mean it should go to waste. It's only her first week. She doesn't want me to care, I get it. I just don't know, something about her, I just feel like I need her. She feels like a part of me I didn't know I was missing.

"What are you talking about? I'm not trying to kill her, I thought you knew me better than that." He said his voice shacky. 

"Really? Then how come she was so randomly invited to go to war? Now I won't be able to do my job in fear she will need protection." The words that came out of my mouth suprised me as they did to Noah.

"Please tell me you don't like her. She is crazy and a monster. There is nothing good about that. I didn't set her up for war. That isn't right. That still doesn't mean she deserves to walk on this earth Marcus. She-" I threw my fist at the wall again.

"Noah, shut up!" I said fury in my voice. "Who are you to judge! You seek revenge if anything you don't desrve to walk on this earth!" I shouted.

"Look at how she gets you, Marcus you are probably the only person to see that she is not. She's like the devil causing chaos. How can you tell me she has worth to this world. She has done nothing, but done wrong. She beat you up and I bet she's done it before. Maybe even killed somebody. Marcus she's no good." I put my arm towards his neck. Just so he could stop speaking.

"You need to get it in your head that she didn't beat me up! You need to know that I don't care what you think. She doesn't deserve anything you put upon her. I don't care if-" I was cut off by a frantic girl yelling at me.

"Marcus! Let him go." Maddie shouted. She ran over to me and tried to pull off my arm, I wouldn't release though. "Just don't kill him." I looked her in the eye and noticed the fear and hurt. 

"I'm not capable of that." I stated still holding Noah back though. She ran off, I don't know for what, just for something. "Noah, what if that was Maddie going to war, your little precious angel? Kiara's going to war. We both know what goes down on the battle feild. She goes and I swear-"I felt a tap on my shoulder and see Kiara. She looks at me shocked and worry in her eyes.

"Marcus step away from Noah or I will hit you so hard you don't even want to know." She stated firmly. If only she knew the words he recently spoke about her. She wouldn't be defending his gutts. I stepped back and watched as Noah tried to take in air. I didn't regret what I did, he deserved it. He's a freaking liar. Telling me he didn't set this up, of course he did. Kiara looked at me again and I noticed anger bubbling up in her.

"So your mad at me now?!" I shouted towards her. Why was she pissed at me. She should be mad at Noah, he might be the one to cause her death.

"I told you to stop caring. You are nothing to me and never will be. Go care about someone else. We both know I'm not helpless. You don't know the full story and never will. Make yourself useful and go and help someone else who needs it. Move on with yourself. I deserve my peace and quiet, I can't get that with Maddie coming and freaking out about you killing Noah. That's a new low for you. I can defend myself and I will do it when necessary. You act like I'm going to die, if I do who cares. We aren't anything but friends. You aren't special to me and I am not special to you." I closed my eyes so she doesn't see my emotions. Just those words had my heart in pain. It felt like I was being kicked by her all over again. Like she was getting knives and stabbing me in the heart. I couldn't explain it but I was drawn to her, something about her made me want to call her 'mine'. She would never be. She just stated that to me. It hurt I'll admit more than I liked. Her words were coming out softer now. Not anger, something about them made me stop and think. "Please Marcus, just stop caring. I promise you that a ton of girl want you. I'm not right for you and never will be, Whatever Noah mentioned to you to stop caring about me is true. I don't care what he thinks, but he's not an idiot. We both know he's probably right." I looked in her eyes and so pain and hurt in her eyes. It seemed she didn't want to be saying this to me. It was more to convince herself than me. We both deserved to be happy so why is she fighting it so much. "Marcus, just please. No more." She looked me once in the eye again and I saw regret in them. Something in me snapped. She thought we had nothing. There was obvioulsy something there.
