Mark is about to fight nightmare, and also did anyone see him get drag along the way. Will someone see him?

Chapter 3

Glen sees some of Ric's house is gone. He looks around the place, wondering what happen now. It's sort like the bar scene, he can see marks, blood, but then again, no one is here. He is getting curious, something is happening, but he has to find out what. He is about to go inside but feels someone grab his arm. He looks to see Alexa, she is crying. He kneels in front of her. "Alexa, everything okay?"

"No. Dad. He was just here and I can't find him" She says "He is hurting, he is in pain. Please look for him!"

"Okay, okay, where did you last see him"

"He was just right here. He is yelling at me to stay away, I think someone took him"

"Don't worry. I'll send out a team to look for him"

Stephanie arrives at the scene. She runs to Alexa, hugging her tight. She talks to Glen, asking what happen here. Alexa keeps looking the way Mark was. She knows someone took him, but she doesn't see any tracks. Steph gasps, when Glen told her that Mark is missing. Alexa explains to her what happen. "He will come back. I know he will" she says.

Glen walks inside the house. There are claw marks everywhere. The doors are broken down, the whole place is a mess. He needs to ask a lot of questions now. He hopes they remember, unlike last time. He is still working on the bar scene, but he feels like he is getting further away from the truth. He feels this is going to be the same. He remembers Mark being at the bar, and now he is here. This time he is nowhere to be found. He's got a lot of questions for Mark.

Mark roars, flies towards nightmare, punching him as hard as he can. As he land the impact, a thunder is heard around the area. Nightmare stumbles back, hitting the ground. He groans in pain. Mark is now smiling wide. "Looks like I can beat" Mark lands on him, starts punching the big guy. He didn't stop, he kept going, one after another hit. Nightmare couldn't do anything. All he can is block every hit. Mark hits get stronger with each blow. Nightmare can feel his arms breaking little by little. He can't feel them, they are numb. Mark kept going, laughing as he punches the demon. Nightmare begs him to stop now. Mark doesn't though, he punches his face, breaking the demon's noise, then cheek bones, the chin.

"Please! STOP!" he yells. "Mercy"

Mark did stop this time. He gives him a look, should he trust this demon. He gets off the big guy. He walks around the area. He is thinking, should he let him go. He felt a kick to his knee. Mark growls as he hits the floor. He can't believe, a sneak attack. He is getting angry, he let him go, and this is how he repays him. He stands up, raises his arms. The lightning bolts are forming around him. He makes a spear out of it. He can feel the power, he is going to stab him, just like how he did before. Nightmare falls to his knees.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. " he says "Please. I promise I won't hurt you!"

"Too late!" Mark yells. He throws the spear, stabbing Nightmare, making him fly to a tree. He hits it, the spear goes through the tree but not all the way. Nightmare is hanging, he tries to release himself, but the spear is draining him. Nightmare tries, but he slowly goes to a halt, his body limping over. Mark lands in front of him. He feels, he doesn't feel good. He kneels down. "How...How can I just kill?" Mark ask. He knows it's wrong, he can't control it though. Wrath sometimes takes over. He shakes his head "The demons, do they deserve this?"

"Of course they do!" Vince yells.

"But..."

"They already killed innocent people. They are going to kill more. The portal is going to open, bring them all at once. We, NO, you have to stop it!'

"Why me? I didn't ask for this" he yells

"Wrath, chose you! You have his power, now use it! Use it to stop all these attacks. People need your help Mark. We can stop the demons from attacking" Vince explains "We can stop this, you can"

"Vince, I do want to help, but...this...what we are doing is it the right thing to do?"

"Yes it is. I've seen what they done. I don't want anyone to suffer like the ones before"

Mark looks at the ground. He doesn't know, he does have the power. He is powerful, in just two days, he killed many. He can't stop now. He is going to help everyone. He is going to help them.

"Mark, Demons sometimes takes over people" Vince says "Some of them can't control it, some of them don't know. But no matter what, we have to stop them!"

"I don't know...if I can" Mark whispers

"Well...you got the whole day to think about it" Vince says "Tonight, there will be another attack. We have to be prepared"

Mark nods. The sun hits him, he reaches out for it. It feels so warm, so good. Vince is gone when Mark wanted to ask him something. He wants to ask how he knew so much. Mark relaxes, slowly forms to human. He feels his stomach, it's all healed. He sits down, and then went to laying down. He stays there for a little. He sees Glen, and X-Pac standing on top of him.

"What are you doing here Mark?" ask Glen

"It's morning, I thought you might be home" X-Pac says.

"I...I. I don't know what to say" Mark says. Glen is getting annoyed now. Mark is in the middle of nowhere, right after what happen to Flair. It's almost like the bar scene. Mark clothes, are rip again. Glen is wondering, can it be him, destroying the buildings. He doesn't know how Mark could've done it but, it's getting suspicious. "I, went to help my daughter, someone was running this way so I chased him."

"Where is he at?" ask Glen

Mark remembers Nightmare, he is gone, dead. "Gone" That's all he can say.

"Are you hurt anywhere?"

"No."

"Alexa heard you yelling in pain. She thinks you are hurt. You should go to her. Tell her you are okay" X-Pac says.

Mark gets up. He runs to her. He forgot, she heard him that he was in pain. He didn't mean to frighten her. He is outside his house. Steph is talking to the cops. Mark slowly walks up to them. Steph gasps and hugs him tight.

"Oh Mark. Are you okay?" she ask.

"I'm fine. Where's Alexa" "In her room"

Mark kisses her. He walks up to see her. He opens the door, she is hugging a pillow, looking out the window. "Alexa, how you are feel-" He feels a tight hug around him. He hugs her back carefully. She is shaking, he didn't mean to scare her. He didn't mean to disappear out of nowhere. "I'm sorry" Is all he can say.

"For what?" she whispers

"For scaring you" he says "I didn't mean to scare you, or to disappear"

"It's okay. As long as you are home, everything is okay" she cries. "It's just...I'm still, scared about what happen. I-"

"Hey, it's okay. It all pass now. Nothing can hurt you"

"I know, but, I-I"

"Alexa, as long as I'm here, nothing is going to hurt you. I'm here for you"

"What if...You can't..."

"Then you need to defend yourself. You can fight back, I know you can. You can think of ways to stop them, to distract. I know you can. You are smart"

She nods. "Love ya dad"

Mark hugs her tight again. "Love ya too"

Roman runs in "I heard what happen, you okay?"

"I'm fine" she says. Roman walks to sit next to her. Mark gets up, he whispers to Roman to stay with her.

It's a Saturday, they all stay home, enjoy the free time they have. Alexa, Roman and Mark are playing volleyball. He did try his best not to use much power. He doesn't want to hurt his kids. He can't jump so high either, he can't tell them what he can do yet. Steph is enjoying a book. She smiles wide, watching Mark move around on the court. He looks so good. He jumps to catch the ball from hitting the ground. Alexa sees the ball, high in the air, she can spike this one. She runs up to spike it down. Mark gets up quickly, he jumps up to block it, but it hits his fingers, making the ball go sideways, hitting the floor. Mark lands softly. He is not going to break this court. It is now ten at night. Mark is watching a movie with Steph. The kids are in their room. He kisses Steph with passion, lust. He wants her, and he is going to have her. She sits on his lap, kissing him, moving her hips on him. He moans, this feels good. She rides him, he helps her by grabbing her waist. Mark fights the urge to bite her, to squeeze her tight. She bounces on him, she can feel herself getting close. She moans, throwing her head back as she climax. She rides off the orgasm.

"I love you" Mark says. He flips them over. He is now on top of her. He starts moving his hips. He makes love to her, giving her everything. He growls, he needs more. He then fucks her. He can't control himself, she feels so good. Steph is moaning, groaning, Mark keeps her quiet by kissing her. "Oh Steph!"

Mark is rubbing her back. He feels his body relaxing but Steph body is still shaking. He gently traces his finger along her face. He loves her, he really does love her. He gets up, walks up to their bedroom. He snuggles close to her, getting ready to sleep. The phone rings. He is really getting tired of these calls. He moves to answer it.

"Yes!" he is mad. He wants to cuddle with his wife. He hears Vince tell him where to meet at. There is something that he has to show him. He wants to sleep too. He gets dress, he kisses Steph temple. He goes to meet with Vince. He sees Vince in the middle of the parking lot. He walks up to him. Mark looks around, it's empty here, no one is here. He doesn't see anybody but Vince. He wonders, what he is going to show him.

"Mark...A demon always walks around here during the day. You have to stop him. He is really dangerous"

"I don't see anything"

"He is over there"

Mark turns to where Vince point at. He sees a young man, grabbing stuff from the trash cans. Mark is now confuse, this is no demon. He is no demon, is he behind him, or haunting him. Mark glares at Vince. "That's just person, looking for food. I think people call him the snake, cause he appears and disappears." Mark then thinks about it. "No, he can't be" Vince throws a rock at the snake. Mark runs to stop him. "What are you doing?" Vince smirks. Mark sees the guy getting angry at the two. He can see his eyes getting red. "No?" Snake roars and turns to a demon. Mark laughs "Of course, a snake type demon" The demon slithers closer to Mark. "Wait, don't do this. You can control it. You can stop this. We don't have to fight" Mark raises his hands, telling him that he is not fighting him. "Snake, you are a good guy. Please...don't let this demon take over you" The snakes jabs to bite Mark's shoulder. He picks him up, slams him to the ground. Mark growls as he hit the ground.

"Me, a good guy" Snake laughs "I guess you never heard. I kill many people. This power is amazing. I'm so powerful, I can kill anyone. I'm still going to kill"

"But, But...you are human...you can't..."

Vince cuts in "Mark remember those missing children. He was the one. The missing family members who disappear out of nowhere. It was him. It was him all along"

Mark gets up slowly. "Is that true?"

"Of course It is. I am powerful no one can stop me" Snake laughs.

"No...No...NOOO!" Mark yells, lightening swirling around him. He transform to a human. He uses all his force to punch snake right across the face. He flies to the tail, grabs it, swings it around. He crashes the snake down. "They were all innocent people. They did nothing wrong to YOU! The families, suffering, hoping, praying, that we officers will find them. How could YOU!" Mark flies but Snake catches him between his mouth. Mark struggles to be set free. He sees the vang he yanks it out. Snake yells in pain, letting him go. Mark uses the vang to stab snake in the eye. Mark flies in front it. Snake is waving his head side to side, the pain growing, the blood dripping from the eye. He is smiling, but he wondering deep down, why he is smilling. The snake, took so many people, made so many suffer. He feels his blood boiling, "DAMN YOU!" Mark yanks the other vang out, and stabs the snake right above the head. The snake falls, landing hard on the street. Mark lands in front of it.

"Remember when you said if this is right?" ask Vince

"Yes..."

"Now you know. We can't trust the demons. All are evil, all are dangerous, we have to stop them all"

Mark didn't say anything. Vince is right, he thought snake was a good person, a guy who just hangs around the lot. A guy who just likes to keep to himself. He would never thought that he is one, that took the children, the women, and men. He shakes his head. He hears something moving around the parking lot. "There is something underground" Vince looks around. He doesn't see anything moving. Mark flies to Vince and carries him up. He flies up really high, and a another snake crashes through the street, trying to reach them. He places Vince inside his car, and he gets ready to fight. This one is bigger. "Oh man" The snake disappears, and reappears behind Mark. It bits his shoulder, the same one the other one did. Mark can feel his bones breaking, this is odd, normally he doesn't feel plan. He claws the eyes of the snake, but it didn't let go of him. He tries again. The snake roars, swings Mark around, and slams him down. As Mark bounces from the ground, it wraps around Mark. He felt his whole body getting crush. "Ouch, Dammit"

"You will pay for hurting my friend" he yells "Or should I say, for killing him!"

"He hurt so many people. I had to do it" Mark yells. "I'm going to kill you too"

The snakes tightens his body. Mark tries to get some air. He has to think of something, but what can he do. This snake is bigger, stronger, faster. He bites the snake, ripping some of the skin off. The snake loosens the grip. Mark fies out, hits the snake on the bottom of the head. Mark spits out the skin, he tore off. He doesn't like the taste "Never again" Mark groans. He feels a whiplash to his back. The snake use it tail to whip him. Mark hits the ground, getting stuck. He gets out, and looks around for the snake. He feels the rumble underground "Oh no" The snake crashes up, eating him whole.

"MARK" yells Vince

The snake laughs "Got you. You are dead"

Mark can't breathe, can't move, the whole things feels slimy. He is getting sick, he can't stand this. Mark opens his fist and froms a sword with lightening bolts. He slashes through the skin, he swing it around. "NOO!" yells the other snake. His upper buddy gets cut off the bottom. Mark feels the fresh air, but he is still cover in a slim like thing. He lands on his feet, strumbling around the lot until he falls down, flat on his face.

"That...that...was disgusting!" is all Mark can say right now. He can still feel it, being stuck in there. "Eww...""

"I guess we are done. Go on home. I'll call you for another fight" he smiles "Oh...does Stephanie know that you are a demon?"

"No. She doesn't"

"Good" He drives away. Mark rolls over, stands up and tries to take the slim thing off. He walks to see a lake, and he dives in. He washes it off. He is going to take a long shower after this.

Mark kicks the door open. He feels so tired. He looks to his shoulders, it's slowly healing. He still has blood leaking a little. He walks up to the couch and falls on it. He falls to deep sleep. He doesn't care what he smells like now, or how he feels like. He is going to sleep for the rest of the night. The hours pass, he felt a hand on his head. He opens his eyes to see Steph, looking at him with worry. He gets up slowly. "Steph...you are awake"

"Yes. Mark, it's three in the afternoon" she says

"What really?" he jerks up. "I need to shower," He runs up the stairs. She is getting worried. Three nights in a row he was called, he comes home fine, but different. She hopes he tells her what is happening. Mark washes himself real good. He tries to take everything off. He brushes his teeth real good, his hair. He makes sure that he is fresh. Mark is done, gets dress, walks to meet with Steph. He sees that Glen is there, talking to her. "Glen, what brings you here?"

"Mark, this is your shirt right?"

"No..." Mark says "Yes"

"You were there weren't you" he says

"No...yes"

"Mark, tell me what's going on. It's already three times this happens. Mark tell ME!" he yells

"I can't right now, I'm really tired." Mark says "But I promise I will tell you"

"Oh No!' Glen says "Mark..."

"Please Glen, not right now" Mark says. Glen huffs, he walks away with anger. Mark can't tell him, but how is he going to explain all thiis.

"Mark, you are okay?" Steph ask

"I'm fine. It's just...um..." he sighs "I'm really tired"

Alexa yells from her room. Mark and Steph run up to check up on her.

"Sweetie, what's wrong?" ask Steph

"There is a snake over there" she says "eeww, It looks so weird"

Roman laughs "Don't worry, It won't hurt you"

Mark felt his stomach turn. "Oh no" He grabs it and throws it out the window. He runs down, grabs a shovel, he starts pounding it. "NO! NO! NO! No more snakes!" Mark can still feel the inside of that snake. He wants that memory to away. Alexa looks at her mom, she is confuse. Roman is wondering why Mark is beating that snake.

"Is he...scared of snakes?" she ask

"No. He is not"

Mark stops. He digs up a hole, burries it. He puts away the shovel. He then walks back to the house. "There"

Alexa and Steph and Roman are just standing there, wondering what happen. Mark literally destroy the snake. He never does that. They just shrug.

Mark doesn't like snakes. Vince says there is more fights to go. Will Mark be able to stop them.
