Hello Marcus

Chapter 39 : Hello Marcus

++ Victoria's POV ++

He was back ...

I could already sense his demanding presence and his vile attitude before he even decided to show his face . I watched him fumble into the house , chugging down a bottle of jack Daniels like his life depended on it . To be honest , He looked absolutely horrible ... and I'm putting that in the nicest way possible . I can't believe he actually thinks I'm dead . How naive of him .

I took a sharp breath in , as I openly observed my prey with predatory eyes ... Tears of sympathy burned my emotionless green eyes , making me grip my knife so tight , my knuckles turned paper white . This is wrong ...This is so wrong . He just looked so vulnerable , just like Scott predicted . What the hell am I doing ? I am not a murder ... I started to back away when suddenly the conversation I had with Scott earlier today flashed before my eyes .

" Think about all the terrible things Marcus has done to you ! Think about how he selfishly took your freedom away from you and how he imprisoned you in this hell house . He's a killer , tori . He deserves to die .. Trust me . He's a bad person and you know that . You want to be reunited with Abby don't you ? "

I immediately nodded my head .

" Then you have to kill him , if you want to escape . "

" W-why do I have to kill him ? Why can't you ? " My words were rushed and jumbled , making it simply impossible to understand what the hell it was that I was saying .

" Because he won't even let me near him , without lashing-out and trying to bash my skull in . " he explained for the hundredth time , frantically running his fingers through his messy hair . I could tell that by the way Scott's eyes watered that he was just as nervous about this plan as I was ...

" No ! I-I can't just kill him ! I-I can't do that . I'm not a murder , Scott ! I'm NOT going to - "

" You are his only vulnerability . " he spoke quietly , his eyes boring into mine . This plan was seriously messed up ! How could Scott expect me to kill his brother without even batting a single eye lash ?! No ! I'd probably start crying uncontrollably and cower in a corner .

" You shot Sawyer ! Why can't you kill Marcus ? "

" T-that's different . " I mumbled , chewing on the inside of my cheek .

" How is it different ?! "

" I was FORCED to kill , Sawyer . " I shouted angrily at him , tears threatening to spill from my eyes at any given moment . Pathetic .. I know .

He didn't reply . He couldn't reply but he knew it was true .

" Remember your friend ... Freya was her name , right ? "

My eyes widened when the words escaped his lips . No , don't go there with me Scott !

" Don't ... "

" Remember when Marcus set her on fire in the woods ? Remember when he shot her in the head ? " He asked , through gritted teeth .

By this time , I was crying hysterically , unable to depend myself from his harsh words .

" Stop it , please . " I shouted , covering my ears with my palms .

" I'm not trying to be an asshole , tori . I'm trying to have you realize what it is that you have to do .. " his voice was smoothing , comforting almost . I flinched when he pulled me into his strong arms , wrapping me up in a warm much needed hug .

" If I could kill him for you .. Trust me .. I would have by now . But I can't . " he whispered into my ear .

" I know you would but I .... I just don't know if I can do it , Scott . " I muttered through muffled sobs , helplessly clinging onto Scott .

" Your his only weakness , tori . Use that to your advantage ... " with those last words , he gently pressed his soft , warm lips against mine , silencing my cries .

I snapped back into reality , wiping away the tears that managed to escape my eyes . I shoved the knife into my back pocket and sniffled a little before finally stepping out of the shadows .

Marcus instantly whirled around , clutching his liquor bottle -as if someone would take it away from him . As soon as our eyes locked , his jaw fell to the ground in shock and his eyes almost jumped out of his head . The bottle of jack Daniels slipped out of his hand and shattered into a million pieces along the expensive hard wood floors .

A sly smile tugged at my lips and I awkwardly cleared my throat .

" Hello ... Marcus . "
