Happy Ever After // Kidnapped 3

Chapter 20

"Jacob!" The handler yells behind me, completely confused. I don't look back at her, or anyone really. My eyes stay on Jacob. On his face, the hatred upon it actually.

All this time, I had never counted him as a suspect. I never thought he had any ill feelings towards me. I thought we were friends. I thought I could trust him. I thought he cared about me.

After all, he made it seem like that when he guarded my cell back at the commission so many times. When he'd tell me to eat when I was starving myself.

I even talked about him with Phill just a few days ago. Neither of us counted him as a suspect then too. Neither of us thought this man to be this full of hate and anger. Apparently we were wrong. So wrong.

"I don't understand." I tell him "Why..."

"Why do I hate you?" He says with such a dead serious expression upon his face that would make me doubt if it's really him. The Jacob I knew, or thought to know, always had a huge smile upon his lips. He never showed any disrespect towards anyone and he always made everyone laugh.

"You really don't know?" He asks me and I slowly shake my head. I really don't know.

I'm too deep in my thoughts to give him a decent answer but he seems to find me shaking my head proper enough.

How could he have hid such hatred for me? If he hated me, why didn't he just let me starve myself all those years ago? Why didn't he finish the job back then?

"Do you remember when you still couldn't control your powers? The very start of everything, that it was." He starts and I keep myself quiet, so does everyone else. They're listening, curious why he hates me so.

I do remember that time, very well even. My powers terrified me back then. I killed people. I didn't know how to control the darkness.

"You killed." Jacob says, shaking me out of my thoughts. Again, I don't answer but I just look at him.

"I want to hear you say it! Fucking tell me you killed!" he suddenly yells, making me want to disappear into thin air.

"I did. I killed people. I didn't know how to-" I start but he cuts me off almost immediately.

"I don't care why you did it! You killed!" His angry stare upon me has gotten even worse than it already was. There's even more hatred in his eyes. Now, I can't only feel the darkness that my powers gave him, I can also feel his hatred towards me again.

I don't dare react. He is like a bomb at the moment. I know very well what happens when you get to this point with my powers. It's a dangerous point. One where you can cause the apocalypse.

"Black hair... Black curls..." Jacob starts to sum up features that describe him.

"What are you saying?" I suddenly find my voice again but I regret using it immediately after I did so.

"What I'm doing??" Jacob head jerks towards me again "I'm describing my younger brother whom you have murdered!"

I swallow but don't allow my facial expressions to change much. Now I really want to run. Hell I want to run and never come back just because I know what a person can do when he or she is hurt, maybe even broken.

Knowing that a simple apology won't help, I look at my family who's eyes are right upon us and then I look back at Jacob.

"It was the darkness that did such thing, not me." I tell Jacob, causing him to scoff "I'd never have done it if it wasn't for the dark powers that started to control me."

There's a moment that Jacob just looks at me. I would've expected him to talk back or raise his voice at me again but he doesn't.

"The darkness that's now controlling you." I say as I look straight into Jacob's eyes. They're black. Completely black. I fear that there almost isn't a way to bring him back. This man is the darkness and I intend to be the light. I just hope that the damn light wins just like it does in the fucking movies.
