Merlin OC Fanfic: Marina Oridion
AN: So you guys are lucky! Two updates in two days! Hopefully this will be able to continue for the rest of the week because I'm at my dad's office every afternoon. Now for something really exciting, THIS STORY HAS REACHED PEOPLE ACROSS THE GLOBE! Yeah according to my traffic stats, there are people in the UK, Australia, France, etc. THIS IS AWESOME considering the fact that when I started out, I thought that this story was only gonna be read by a few people so this is great! If you guys could leave a review telling me where you live (in a non-stalker way) that would be awesome! Also, I'm gonna start answering reviews in the AN at the beginning of my story. Ok now it's time for the next installment of Marina Oridion!
Warning: Abuse and rape flashbacks
Chapter Seven
Disclaimer: Do we really have to do this? Ugh fine. Idonotownmerlinoranyofitscharactersexceptformarina . There. You can't read it? Too bad.
Merlin's POV
Wait did I hear that correctly? The Witchfinder was Marina's father?
"Oridion, you are not my father. You are a pathetic human being who just happened to sire me." Marina snarled. "Are we done here?"
"Yes," said Oridion. We turned to walk out of the room when he said "for now."
"Why didn't you tell me that the Witchfinder was your father?" I asked her.
"I was going to, but I never got the chance."
"Why are you so afraid of him?"
Marina sighed. "When I was a child, Oridion would always go out to the tavern. One night he came back so drunk, it was a miracle that he could still find our house. He went up to my mother and started beating her. I was very young but I still knew that what he was doing was wrong, so I tried to stop him. He beat me too. Then he went to bed. My mother was crying, not because she was in pain, but because she was worried that he had caused serious damage to me, her only daughter." Marina took a deep breath.
"You don't have to continue," I mumbled.
She didn't hear me. "This went on for several years. I was born with magic, but my mother taught me to keep it a secret from him, the Witchfinder. One night a few weeks ago, he came home and started beating my mother as usual. This time though, he beat her to within an inch of death, then he raped her. I was screaming at him to stop, but he did not listen. I grabbed him around the waist, pulled him off of her, and threw him against the wall and knocked him out. I picked up my mother, jumped on Midnight and fled. I did not know where we were going. I only knew that we had to get out of our village. Griff, the daughter of Lord Johannes, met us at the edge of our town and gave us supplies. When we finally stopped, I realized that we were in a Druid camp. I called out for help and they came. They picked up my mother and taught me how to heal using water. My mother then told me to go to Camelot to study with Gaius. The Druid's gave me directions to Camelot. Now here I am." Marina finished, looking like she was about to collapse.
I didn't know what to say. "I have to go check on Griff," she mumbled. Then ran off.
I sank down against the wall. Wow. No wonder Marina was so afraid of Oridion. After all the things she had seen him do. I was amazed that she hadn't had a complete mental breakdown. I felt so bad for her. I wanted to tell Arthur, but I knew that Marina didn't want me to tell anyone.
AN: Well now we know why Marina is so afraid of the Witchfinder! I'm sorry this chapter was so short but there really wasn't a whole lot I could do with it. As always, read & review!
