Possession of the Devil's Child

A Dark Turn

Months passed and everything was going grand. Markus and Mary spent a lot of time with each other which meant I was able to see Thomas more often. It wasn't until recently, that I noticed things would take a turn for the worse. Markus didn't seem like himself anymore, especially around Mary. He would often ignore her now or pound his head against a table screaming "get out". I never knew what internal conflict Markus was going through but I did not appreciate the sudden abuse towards her. I never knew that Markus could even touch a spirit until one fatal day.

I got to my room when I heard a high pitched wail through the door frame and rapidly got out my key to unlock my door. I saw Mary throwing my clothes at Markus and I nearly had a heart attack.

"What do you mean you don't know where he is?" she said violently.

"He wasn't there when I woke up," Markus said from behind my parlor table which for some reason was on it's side.

"Wait what's going on?" I said curiously and then noticed Mary in tears. "What. Did. You. Do. To. Her?" I said my voice gradually getting louder.

"Nothing," he said, terrified now of two girls.

"Nothing. You think this is nothing?" she said bitterness in her voice. "Thomas is missing, you've been abusing me, and suddenly someone took Thomas during the night." she said, tears starting to show in her silver eyes.

"What do you mean missing!" I yelled furiously. I sat on my bed unable to think. I lost another family member.

"I'll look for him, I swear," he said, terror growing in his eyes.

"Oh I know you will otherwise you sir are gonna regret that you met me." I said my tone scaring him. I saw him leave the room in a rush to find our brother. After a few hours the sun that was once proud in the sky is now somewhere else having the moon provide us company and then suddenly a muscular figure was standing in front of me.
