Difficult Choices
Bobs took off his mask revealing his true face. It was Mark. Chakotay lunged at him but the men kept him restrained. He smiled at Chakotay and stepped down the stair to Kathryn.
Kathryn spit at him. "Oh Kath, why do you despise me so?"
"Do you really have to ask Mark? Mark smiled at her. "Let me see your hands Kathryn?" The man holding Kathryn thrust her hands forward. Mark shook his head. "Didn't I warn you Kathryn that if you didn't wear your engagement ring something bad was going to happen?"
Kathryn spit at him again. "If you think I would even consider marrying you Mark, you're more of a psycho than I thought you were.
Mark walked back up to the porch. "So Kathryn what should your punishment be?" He winked at her and then shook his head. He whispered something to one of the men next to him, and the man disappeared into the house.
"Oh Kath, I have a surprise for you," and with that Pheobe was thrown to the ground.
"Pheobe! Screamed Kathryn. Chakotay looked at Kathryn who was now crying along with her sister. "You're a sick man Mark, I thought that the Cardiassians were evil but you are in a league all of your own.
Mark smiled at Chakotay. "Bring him here, and set him next to Pheobe."
"Kathryn here is your punishment. You need to choose who lives your lover or your sister, it's all up to you." "I will be generous and give you a half hour to decide."
Kathryn looked up at Mark. "What if I refuse?"
Mark looked at Kathryn. "Then I simply will kill both of them. Remember you brought this on yourself Kathryn." And with that Mark went inside.TBC
