Our Life Together | Consumed

Chapter 12 - Unraveling History

I'm gonna make these chapters slightly shorter. Don't worry, I'm still going to make them long, but at the moment I'm quite busy. I want to be able to consistently upload these on the dates stated in the table of contents. Let me know if you guys have a problem with me shortening them. I will be writing anywhere from 2,000-3,000 words instead of 3,000-4,000. Also, this most likely will not be permanent. Just until I can clear my plate and focus some time on the book. Enjoy the chapter!

Star's PoV

When me and Marco kissed, my heart skipped a beat. My body tempature rose as our lips connected. I felt a strange feeling, a feeling that I loved, and was missing for too long. Marco pulls away, and all I can do is stare. He does the same. What do we do now? All I know, is I want to kiss him. I just want to lay here in his arms, but I can't. I have to focus. Before I do, Marco and I simultaneously move closer again, and faster. We make contact again, and this time, things are a little more heated. I pull away. "Marco, as much as I'm loving this, we have to focus on not getting killed right now... Not making out..." I can tell he's upset, but understands. "You're right Star, I'm sorry... I just lost my head..." I grab his chin and make our eyes meet. "It's ok... I liked it Marco..." He smiles. "You know what..." He says while standing up, slowly and painfully. "I'm not letting you do this alone..." I stand up quickly. "No no no, you're staying here, and I'm staying with you. You can't do this right now!" He gets angry. "Star, our friends are out there about to get slaughtered right now! We are outnumbered and now they have 2 powerful magic users against us! I don't have a say anymore!" Normally, if someone were to yell at me like that, my eyes would go green and I would lose control, but when Marco did, I didn't. I was upset, not mad. Upset that he was yelling at me like that. "Marco... I just don't want you to get hurt... I love you..."

Moon's PoV

"Everyone! Listen Here!" I pull all of the monsters attention. "Remember, we have a few goals! More specifically, two goals! We must bring my daughter to our side! Bring her to me, unharmed, and me and Eclipsa will do the rest." They all nod. It feels good being in control. "And two! You will bring the captain to me... Alive..." I feel strange, and I can tell people are looking at me funny. Eclipsa is shocked as well. "Darling... Your harnessing your other half!" I get confused. "What?" Eclipsa smiles, and grabs my shoulder's. "Your green magic! Your using it! It's fueling you right now! If you use that, we will surely be successful!" I don't really know how to use green magic, but I like having it.

We are approaching the kingdom. It feels odd attacking this place, but there is no way to bring equality to our world. I would need River, but after his death, there is no way to bring equality to this place anymore. The Captain, Jonathan, always was a bit off, but I never suspected he would do such a thing to River. He was always so loyal. River treated him like his own. "Everyone! We will wait here! The kingdom is suspecting us! Wait for them to lower there Guard before we strike!" Eclipsa says. I look at her, baffled at what I heard. "Mom! We go Now!" She looks at me, angered. "In case you forgot, I'm still in charge! You want revenge, you'll get it! Until we have an opening, we wait!" She was right, there was no point in arguing about this, she was in charge. I remained silent, and she walked away.

I felt something inside me grow stronger...

Marco's PoV

It's been around an hour, and nothing. Star was asleep next to me. It's not like her to slack in a situation like this... Not anymore at least. I couldn't sleep like her though, I was stuck awake thinking about so much. Constant thoughts swarming my mind with no escape. Reality was sinking in. So much has happened when I thought about. Star's dad, the King of Mewni, was dead. I couldn't help him, and because of me being to weak, Star is crushed. Every sing lie time I look into her eyes, I see the deep pain that is forever burned in her head. Every time we touch, I think about the Scar covering her heart, because I was too weak to help. I'm sick and tired of feeling like this. I know I'm not useless, I always help Star, but sometimes I wish I could do more. I hear a voice in my head. A voice that is strangely familiar. "Your weak, Marco. You could be so much more." I look around, making sure that this voice is truly in my head. I don't say anything, I don't know how to respond. "You know that if you were stronger, that Star wouldn't be hurt at the moment. You're holding her back..." I shake my head, trying to get these thoughts... This voice... Out of my head. Again, I say nothing, hoping that it stops. "Do you think it was a coincidence that you suddenly obtained the power to see the unseen? Your visions came to you so you could keep up with Star! Even she thinks your useless now! Look at the way she treats you now! She's so..." The voice stops, and I finish the sentence. "Protective..." The voice chuckles. "She doesn't need you anymore, you're better off leaving her!" I look at Star, thinking about what I heard. "Just leave, she is better off without you..." I realize who the voice is. How could I not have known? Subliminally, I think I did. The whole conversation I thought I had with some strange being that was intervening my mind was really a conversation I had with myself...
