The Curse
If you do not like Fantasy and Syfy mixed together. This story isn't right for you.
Characters are Dr. William Zimmerman, Kate Freelander and Dr. Helen Magnus. And a sprinkling of the other characters and mentioning of Ashley Magnus in the beginning.
I do not own Sanctuary. I only play with the characters.
Dr. William Zimmerman. He was the protegé to Dr. Helen Magnus. If she only knew the truth of what happened to her daughter like he did.
Her daughter Ashley was doomed to die the day his daughter Anne had died. It was not because he held Ashley any ill will. It was something that happened to him and his family centuries ago. The curse that he bore in silence. Never telling anyone in hopes he could avoid happening to his loved ones. (wife and daughter.)Brought together, Forever apart, Until the three are one.
Those horrid words. They haunted his nightmares. The curse that his elder bother had placed on him centuries ago.
He entered his boss's bedroom. "Magnus. You are not responsible for Ashley's death I am." He said.
"What do you mean? You were not even in the lab. You where several floors away?" Magnus turned a confused look on her face.
"This is how. Watch."He took out his phone and called Kate.
"Will?" She said.
"Kate come to Magnus bedroom. I need to show you some thing." He lied.
A short time later there was a knock on Magnus bedroom door.
"Kate come in."
She did. "Now what is this you have to show me?"
"That." He pointed at Magnus bed.
Magnus was sitting in one of her chairs at the far side of the room. When he stepped behind her took out a needle he had filled early. Prayed for her forgiveness and jabbed her in the neck. She couldn't believe what he had just done as her world faded to black.
He caught her by the waist as she started to fall. He picked her up by the legs and carried her bridle styie to put her in the chair by the bed. He looked over at Magnus and said. "Watch." He took her ring hand in his right. Spread her fingers. Than he placed his left hand interlacing their fingers. There was a golden glow that spread to cover both their bodies. She opened her eyes leaned forward to look into his eyes and spoke something in a long dead language. He replied in the same language. She sighed leaned back and shut her eyes. He sighed unlaced their fingers and the golden glow slowly faded around them.
He turned to her ready to answer any questions she may have.
She pulled herself together. "What was that William?"
"My Curse think eternal life is a curse? When I die I come back in another body again and again for centuries that's my curse. When you have to push away your loved one so they will marry someone else because their happiness means more to you than your own. Than you can speak to me of curses."
"Then why is Ashley's death your fault?"
"Because when I worked for the FBI. They sent me down to Texas to help solve a murder spree that they had going on. Their lead detective on the case was a female detective and she was falling apart on me. So after work we went to a bar to take the edge off. We got drunk. We ended up in bed with no protection."
"We swore never to speak of that night again. We went on to solve the case and put murder in the sex feet under. She gave birth nine months later. When I touched my daughter. I knew she was my long-lost daughter. From that day I stayed as far away I could get. But it wasn't far enough. She died almost two years later. From that moment on I know my wife from the Nineteenth century had to follow her daughter. When I meet Ashley I knew that she was my wife from the Nineteenth century and all I could do was by her as much time as possible."
"If you knew? Than why not tell me?"
"Because it won't have made any difference in the end."
"But she was my daughter."
"She was my wife Magnus. Because of my actions I doomed. I found out the truth about Kate. When she was shot and out cold. So help me keep Kate away. So she will not suffer your daughter's fate." Then he walked out of the room leaving her with her thoughts and an unconscious Kate.
