Descendant of a Hero
A/N: This is a bit longer chapter and there won't be a new one till the weekend is over because I'll be gone all weekend. As you read this remember you're reading just what Vlad is and it's narrated by Julia Fenton. In the next few chapters there are some flash backs we see it as it happens but Vlad is just reading what Marcus said to Julia. So what Vlad reads in the flash backs are a bit more vivid. This story got the highest votes so sorry if you wanted another one to win.
Ch 12 Marcus's story: They're here
Marcus and I suddenly awoke to odd sounds coming from the downstairs rooms. We both got our selves out of bed to see what the cause was. Marcus lit a lamp and let the light lead us down the stairs and shines in the main room. All the furniture in the room seemed to be over turned and any thing once on the furniture was sprawled over the floor.
"What happened" I said in shock of the sight.
Marcus walking through the mess looking around the he noticed Vinks hiding under the over turned couch.
"What you doing there you crazy cat" Marcus said kneeling down the pick up the cat.
Vinks gave a low growl and Marcus froze.
"Marcus" I asked a bit worried about his sudden stillness.
"Julia, run, hid" were the words that pass over Marcus's lips in a whisper.
I started backing up and the stairs were only a few inches from me when the cause of Marcus's fear appeared.
"Trying to hide from us" one of the five ghosts asked floating on the ceiling above.
"Sure took us some time to find you" another said.
"Julia, get my things" Marcus said as he stood up and his eyes glowed green.
Marcus had no need to tell me exactly what the things were I knew and run up the stairs to grab them.
"You bastards" I heard Marcus yell from down stairs. "You killed my parents."
"They deserved it with what they did to our brother" one of the ghosts said.
"He hasn't quit been the same since" another one of the ghosts said.
I then heard a commotion down stairs while I was opening the chest Marcus kept his entire ghost fighting things in. I knew Marcus only had his cross he wore on his necklace with neutral liquid ecto energy to fight back with. All he could do with that was shield him from their attacks but there was five of them while he was shielding one from the front another one could attack his back. I finally pulled out the ecto coved knifes and his gun and belt of bullets, then went to the stairs but half way down I saw something that scared me the most in my life.
At the bottom of the stairs was a sleepy Will. "What's going on dad" he asked not yet seeing the danger he was in.
Then Will saw the ghosts stopping their attack on Marcus to look at him. Then Will's eyes imitated his fathers.
"What do you know another player to the field" a ghost with glowing green hands said looking at Will.
He shot forward at my son. Marcus jumped forward grabbing Will in a tight embrace taking the energy attack of the ghost in the back and the force sent him and Will skidding into the kitchen. Fear raised in my body even more as I lost sight of my boys. I finally snapped out of it and run down the stairs and to the kitchen's door way. I got there in time to see the five ghosts get pushed back by a shield. An injured Marcus leaning back on his elbows looking at Will who was hold Marcus's cross necklace between his two hands making a shield.
"The little one's got power" a ghost with ice spikes in his hands said.
"Marcus catch" I said throwing him his gun and bullet belt while the ghosts were distracted.
Marcus caught them and raised the gun at the ghosts firing off shots. He took his bullet belt and hung it around his shoulder. While the ghosts we avoiding shots Marcus grabbed Will and lead him to me.
"Julia you and Will hid Will protect your mother" Marcus said still fighting the ghosts. I took Will's hand and lead him down to a hidden room under the floor. I pulled the rug up and pulled the metal ring opening the passage.
We climbed down and closed the hatch as we sat down shaking with fear under the floorboards. Will had a death grip of his father's necklace as we heard the fight going on above us. What felt like forever finally silence filled the house. Will and I waited a few moments listening for anything when no noise was heard I took Will's hand and left the secret room.
I took in a gasp as I saw Marcus lying on the floor covered in wounds. I ran to his side and he turned his head to me and gave a smile before blacking out.
hours later
The dawn had come and I was just finishing the last bandage on Marcus. He lay on the couch we turned right side up.
"I was afraid you were going to die and all you do is smile then black out on me" I said rather mad at him.
"Don't worry I'm not going to die," Marcus said "they just beat you up really bad with out killing you then disappear then attack you again once you healed, that just what they do."
"But they killed your parents" I said.
"Only because they scared their brother" Marcus said. "Trust me I know how they work."
"I don't believe this my whole families in danger and I can't do anything to help" I say almost crying.
"Julia, I don't want you to feel helpless I can teach you" Marcus said.
"Teach me, spiritual power is an inherited thing" I answered.
"No I'll teach you to hit your target with a gun, wield a sword, and an art of knife throwing" Marcus said looking at me.
My only response was to smile back at him.
A/N: So want to see were this leads the Fenton family. Of course I must inform you that there are still a few more chapters that are Marcus's story. But we will get back to the present time with good old Vladdy in chapter 18. Please review!
