Unit 22

Bashed And Scarred

Mark's POV

"Please don't hurt him!" I shouted as Bisognin pushed Jack down to his knees between me and the others.

"Just shut up Mark. You've done enough." Bisognin snapped.

"No! They don't deserve this!" I shouted but she ignored me.

"So. I've been contemplating on which one I'm gonna kill. Mark loves this poor fool more than himself... and I just figured I would rip that love away by bashing your head in right in front of Mark." Bisognin stood in front of Jack.

We all screamed except for Jack as she swung the rod. There was a bash sound and Jack fell on his side. I noticed his blood all over me and the rod. A pool of blood surrounding his head. I couldn't tell if he was dead or not but I was crying my eyes while he didn't move and Bisognin was laughing.

"Woah! Out like a light! It's never that easy... on to the next one then!" Bisognin strolled over to Felix.

"NO PLEASE STOP!!!" I screamed.

Before Bisognin could even raise the rod, Jack sprinted up. Jack growled menacingly and wrapped his arms around Bisognin's waist and swung her around with ease. She face planted and Felix and Tyler came over and undone my binds. Jack repeatedly punched her in the face. Blood stained both of them head to toe and her face was barely recognizable anymore.

"Jack.." I placed my hand on his shoulder and he stopped.

Jack stood up. He looked at his blood soaked hands and noticed his knuckles were way out of place. We looked back at Bisognin and she looked straight into my soul.

"This isn't over. This is far from over! I may not be here to kill you but the Province is!" Bisognin choked out and died anticlimactically.

"Fuck off." Jack said quietly and picked up the rod covered in his blood.

"What are we gonna do now?" I asked.

"End this war. But first.. how did we get here?" I knew exactly what Jack meant.

"I was ordered to steal the plans to give to her so I stole them and changed the words around but somehow she knew about it and then this happened." I said.

Tyler and Felix looked relieved while jack just stood there.

"Ok." He simply said.

He looked pissed.

"What more do you expect from me?!" I suddenly snapped.

He looked at me with a familiar look in his eyes.

"I EXPECT YOU TO FUCKING DO SOMETHING! I don't care what it is! Just do it!" He shouted and I did something.

I kissed him again. I half my hand on his cheeks and he dropped the rod. We finally pulled away.

"Ok. I guess that was something." He picked up the rod again and walked away.

"I don't get what I did wrong." I said as Felix and Tyler watched.

"You left. You lied. And you left again. It's like I'm your fucking emotional punching bag! I don't know how I feel anymore." He replied.

"I did it to protect you!" I defended.

"No you did it to protect yourself! You make the same mistake everyday and you never realize it. I can't follow you." He pointed the rod to at me.

"What do you mean you can't follow me?" I asked, hurt.

"You can't be trusted to fight this war without betraying someone!" He yelled.

"You know what? I'm done trying! If you ever shan't me in your life let me know. Bye!" I shoved passed Jack and over to the door. I opened it and looked back at him. We caught each other's eye and I instantly regretted leaving. But he seemed to think differently as he just turned his head and walked away as Felix and Tyler watched. I left without another word. The hole in my heart grew wider and I felt all emotions float away. I'm alone now and I can't do anything about it.

I lost someone who wasn't even mine...
