The Broken Hero

Chapter 5

My eyes are wide opened, focused on the tall human like shadow, just what in the world is that thing?,

"If you resist or refuse to come with me i'll have Marvos here take you by force."

"What is that thing?"

"Hey!, Marvos has feelings too you know and he dose not like being called a thing."

In my eyes he looked like a complete monster ready to kill anything in sight and even though it dosen't have eyes I feel it glaring towards me,

"I still can't believe you... how can you know who my father is? and I just can't go with some stranger just to see the father I never met..." 

Oh my god! did I just say that out loud, now I was definitely going to get eaten by that...thing,

"Look... I can't explain everything to you right now, I understand you don't trust me, I mean, that's normal, but I think your real father can explain everything to you in a way you will understand."

The way she talked right now was definitely out of character, she seemed... normal.... not hostile.

Meeting my dad, the dad I've never me before, the dad I have so many questions I want to ask him, I could really have the chance to ask him all I want to ask,

"Where is he right now?"

"Waiting for you"

"Why would he be waiting for me"

"He wants to talk to you obviously, where you even paying attention to the conversation we just had?"

I just don't know what to do and I just can't stop this gloomy and tingly feeling inside my stomach,

"Can't we do this some other time? I really don't feel like getting into any sort of...anything..."

"It'll be to late, we can't delay this meeting any longer"

"Meeting" Are there going to be more people there"

"No, just you, me, your father and Marvos"

"I...I.....?" I seriously don't know what to do right now,

"Can't I just think about it?"

"No"

That was a fast answer,

"I really don't want to do this" my mind just starts to get blank and my body starts to shake insanely fast "It's just to much to take in"

"I warned you... Marvos."

The tall black thing then takes a step forward and just stands in front of me for a while and when I least expect it its hand thrusts toward my face and grips it extremely tightly, It hurt like hell, I felt how its claws slowly burrowed into my skin, it didn't feel as if it was griping my face, it felt more like he was pinching my face with its whole hand then A weird popping sound started to fill my ear, I was sure it wasn't my skull it sounded more like the popping sound from the candy that pops in your mouth. I'm scared out of my mind, I want to run away but something is preventing me from moving,

"I did warn you, but don't worry it'll just sting for a while"

Scarlet then starts moving toward the exit while this Marvos thing follows, and his hand was still on my face and he was dragging me along the way. 

Once we got out it was already dark and the only thing that illuminated the path was the moon and the street lights. I am getting kind of drowsy, the thing still grabbing my face and a lot of walking and before I knew it we on what seemed to be the shady part of town, everything seemed...abandoned. Everything seemed out of the ordinary. While I was distracted by the change of scenery it seemed we got to the destination we needed to be, the black thing then lets go of me and i fall to the ground like a rag doll, I could barley move, then blood started to come out from my face, it was probably from the claws of the thing that carried me here. I slowly start to get up, I couldn't feel my body, it fell completely numb.

"Come on! Get up, we are already here"

Who knows why but along the way over here it seems I forgot about what we actually came for so after hearing that we already arrived to the place where my father is gave me chills,

"Scarlet..."

"What is it?"

"I need to ask you something before we go"

"It better be quick"

I just felt like asking this, it was on my mind this whole time, then I finally got up on my two feet,

"Just.... Who are you?"

"Excuse me"

"Sorry, it's just that, the first time I saw you everything started to get...well...weird. You acted like you knew me and apparently you also know who my father is...so...I just want to know who you really are"

Her face then turned to a very serious one,

"The truth is that we have actually met before, it may have been only once but I assure you that we have met before"

"We...have met before?"

"Yeah, you could say we are..."

I felt the same tension from the time I first met Scarlet, all this was just to weird, I don't remember Scarlet at all, but she knows me, she even knows who my real father is, she is just way to suspicious,

"We are actually siblings"
