Mistral / October 10th / 53 AGW (After Great War)/ Malum Hellen POV

"I bid you farewell Julia Hellen, a great woman, a loving mother to two lovely children-"

I stood there across from her grave, the voice of the pastor still stuck in my head, sentences that I never thought I would hear before kept pounding itself back in my head. The rainfall reinforcing the pounding. "Let us hope that she shall be reunited with her beloved back in the afterlife…. and that they both will look down upon their children with..."

A voice interrupted me from my thoughts.

"Malum!" a rough deep voice almost seem to echo in the almost empty graveyard. 'Uncle..' I thought bitterly. 'Of course he would show now.'

My uncle walked closer, standing right beside me. He squatted down almost to my height level. I didn't bother turning to him. He let out a low sad chuckle. "I've always hated your old lady..."

I allowed myself a little grin at this time. I turned to look at him. "Don't worry, Mom said the feeling was mutual." I said with a tinge of sadness. "Was….."

My uncle looked at me in worry, he could see the sadness in my eyes. I could tell that he could see behind the mask I set up for myself when Dad died so long ago. He nodded. "Was…"

I turned to look back at the stones. I didn't know it but the concern quickly disappeared from my uncle's eye, "You have to come with me now kid..."

His eyes traveled to the bundle in my arms "You've both got to come with me.."

My eyes widened in shock, I turned and gave a nasty glare at him. "What?!" My anger started to overtake me. "WHY!?"

His eyes stared at my anger intensified eyes with a cold stare. "Because me and my son are the only family you two got kid.."

I gritted my teeth, and slowly started to back away. "No! Screw you! I know what you do for a living! I know what you are!" I quickly turned around and bolted for the edge of cemetery. "I refuse to allow her to be apart of that life!"

My uncle's eyes widened. "How does he know about that?"

He quickly regained his composure and ran after me, once he got within a few feet of me his body started growing incredibly heavy, his eyes widened. 'What is this? I feel so heavy,' he eventually laid on the ground barely able to move.

He moved his head inch by inch until he was staring at the back of the increasingly far away boy.

He grinned.

'Perfect' he thought excitedly.

The weight was eventually released off of him. Where he then dusted himself off and ran off attempting to track down the runaway Boy and toddler. Leaving behind two tombstones with the inscriptions...

'Julia Seas Hellen, loving mother and wife.'

'Cleon Black Hellen, loving husband and father.'

A/N Hello everybody! I would have written more about Malums backstory and the reasons and driving force for everything he does in later chapters, but if I did that where would I get my stash of emotional flashbacks from?
