Monster

by Lielie96

"Jack, please. You have to trust me. I'm still the same person you've always know." "How could I ever trust you? For all I know, you've been lying to me the entire time." Mark has a secret. Something he hoped he would never have to tell those closest to him for fear of losing them. But when hellhound attacks bring the Winchesters into his life, will things ever be the same for him?

10. Chapter 10

A/N: This is a backstory/flashback chapter that should (hopefully) fill in some blanks and such. Enjoy!

January 10, 193?:

"They said my acting career is in the toilets." Yet another failed audition and the young actor seemed ready to give in.
"Do not give up, old friend," I tried to comfort him. We were walking through the gardens near my work. It seemed he did not want to go home and tell his wife the news.

He shook his head, taking a seat on a nearby bench. "It's hopeless. Absolutely hopeless."
I looked down in thought for a moment. "What if I could guarantee that you'll be able to land the next part you audition for and all others thereafter?"
The actor raised his eyebrow. "It would be a dream come true. But I don't want you bribing anyone or using your position against people just for me."
"Oh no no," I quickly shakes my head. "I would never do anything like that."
"Then what's the catch?" I watched him narrow his eyes suspiciously.
"Just two little things. Just your soul and a kiss."
He suddenly burst out i laughter. "I always knew you were quite the joker. My soul? Such things don't exist."
Without giving him a chance to say more, I pulled him into a quick, chaste kiss. The actor was practically paralyzed in shock.

I took that as my cue to leave. "Just remember; you'll be big but you only get ten years."

January 11, 193?:

A simple little note was left at my door when I got home from work.
"I don't know who you called or who you bribed but thank you. I finally got a part!
- M"

October 11, 193?:

He was dead... No... That couldn't be... I told him he was getting ten years, not ten months...

October 13, 193?:

"I know what you are, Damien."
"You don't understand. I was trying to give you a chance at making something of yourself."
"I won't fall for your lies anymore. Because of you, I have nothing."
"No, Mark, please. I didn't do anything other than give you your dream. You did all the rest yourself."
"I always thought of you as my friend. Turns out you were nothing but a monster the entire time."
"I am you're friend. I was always your friend."

"I'M SICK OF YOUR LIES!"
"You're not listening to me!"

"Go back to hell you monster. If I find you again, I will destroy you."
