Broken

16-Erik

"Ugh, my head is killing me." Andy groaned from the couch, "That means that there are bugs in your head and they are eating your brain." Merida giggled, "That's not possible... Is it?" Andy said looking over to Erik. Erik lowered his tablet and glared at Andy, Merida cackled. "That would explain why you are so stupid." Kinney giggled. Cassian looked up from his computer, "Do you human spawn ever shut up?" Merida looked at Cassian before rolling her eyes, "You are a human spawn too Cassian!" She argued, Cassian sighed. "Sadly, yes. But not wholly." Kinney threw a pillow at Cassian who easily pushed it away to the floor, "None of us are wholly human, dork."Andy stuck his tongue out at Cassian. "I hope you choke on your tongue." Cassian muttered under his breath. "What the hell Marian?!" Someone shouted from the other room, "Wait... Where is Marian?" Merida asked looking around the room.

"I mean, I wake up one morning and the woman I loved is just gone?! No note, no good-bye, and no reason for you to leave!" The man shouted, "Tod, it was for the best." Tod scoffed, "The best?! I wake up and it takes me a fucking year to find out the woman I loved-the woman I TRUSTED-got up and left halfway across the goddamn world. For what? To go to some fancy academy?!" He screamed. Cassian, Andy and Erik walked through the door quietly and unnoticed by the two followed by Merida and Kinney. "Tod, I had to go. I wasn't safe back in Manhattan." Marian commented quietly, "REALLY!? YOU WEREN'T SAFE WITH ME?! YOUR BOYFRIEND?! THAT'S A PRETTY PATHETIC WAY OF BREAKING UP WITH ME DON'T YOU THINK?!" Marian wiped tears from her eyes, "Tod, go home... please." She said hoarsely. He grabbed for her arm and dug his fingernails into her skin, she made a strangled cry for help as blood seeped out from under his fingers on her arm. Erik clenched his jaw as he watched them in anger. "I'm going, but you are coming home with me!" She let tears run down her face, "I can't! I have to stay here... with... everyone."  She said weakly, Tod slapped her. Hard. "Like hell you are-" He was cut off by Cassian stepping in between the two of them, "Who the hell are you?!" Tod screamed in his face, Cassian tried desperately to explain why Marian had to stay but Tod would not listen, Cassian took a punch to the stomach and staggered back in pain. Erik's eyes clouded over with anger, he screamed as he threw his fist into Tod's face. Tod's hand rushed up to his nose and came away covered with blood. "Son of a bitch!" He muttered, he went to throw a punch at Erik but missed widely. Erik kneed him in the stomach and punched him again and again in his face. "I'm going to kill you!" Erik screamed. Andy quickly rushed and grabbed onto Erik's arms, everyone was in shock. Erik had never said anything to them. Ever. His voice was deep but had a cold tone talking to Tod. It made chills run down Andy's spine. He tried to drag Erik out of the room, he flailed in Andy's arms, trying to escape. "I'M GOING TO KILL HIM. LET ME AT HIM. I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!" Erik screamed until his throat burned and he coughed up blood which ran down his chin. "I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!" Andy struggled to hold Erik back, "Cassian! Help!" Andy called for Cassian who helped drag the bloody, screaming Erik out of the room. Marian watched in shock. Tod lay unconscious on the floor, blood running from his nose and mouth. She stared at his body before turning and running after Erik.
