Helping A Friend In Need
A/N Here's more! I hope everybody likes!
Yana cackled watching Artie since she'd put the mark on him. She was a relative of Marissa's side of the family. She had pale skin, brown hair, blue eyes and had powerful magic. She was also half demon by birth but her daughter suffered because of it. She was born a full demon and couldn't be happy.
To Yana, it'd been Artie that had messed things up for their family because he'd met her sister and they'd fallen in love and gotten married but she couldn't forgive him for taking Marissa from them when she died from illness. That was the reason she'd put that mark on him.
"He's progessing nicely. Soon it'll grow in him and he'll be a powerful force.
That's when I'll try and take over the kingdom and he can't do anything because he's under my thumb!" she cackled as she saw her daughter come in from high school.
She was depressed. She was nice hearted unlike her mother but wanted to be loved and accepted by others.
But she had the appearnce of a demon which threw other kids off.
Her name was Keri and she had a big heart.
She had pointy ears, black eyes, pale but fair skin and silvery hair.
"Mom what's going on?" she asked her.
"Nothing honey." Yana answered.
She kept her plans from Keri because she didn't want her taken from her or to be chased by hunters......
That night in Far, Far Away Artie couldn't sleep as he tossed and turned in his bed.
"Please...... don't..... leave...." he mumbled in his sleep.....
In his mind he was in Worchester as a sixteen year old again. Lance and the others were tormenting him as usual and he hated it until somebody showed up, somebody he really cared about and missed ever since she went.
It was Marissa. She looked as pretty as she did when she first met him.
"M-Marissa?
But you're....." Artie said to her.
"I'm what?
Go on Artie tell me." she asked him looking into his emerald eyes. Artie couldn't bear it, to answer with those words.
"You're dead. You died through illness after we defeated Laia, the Fairy Godmother's sister.
Don't you remember?
Or are you an illusion here to trick me?" Artie replied.
But he watched as she faded and he heard Lance and the jousting team laugh.
"What're you going to do to us?" Lance said as Artie fell through the ground and into darkness.
Suddenly he saw a pair of glowing purple eyes in the darkness. He had a feeling he knew who they belonged to as somebody stepped out of the darkness.
It was him as he was now with his blue and black hair.
"Don't worry Artie it's me.
I know losing Marissa hurt but maybe..... my friend can bring her back." he said.
"What're you talking about?
Marissa's dead and never coming back!" Artie told himself.
"It doesn't have to be that way...... you know.
Just let the power you have ignite......" he replied fading....
Artie woke up sweating but the rose mark was glowing and throbbing madly. He then began to scratch it but noticed something was wrong with his nails......
He looked in the mirror and saw they were talons and his eyes had dark rings around them and glowed with purple light as the magic grew stronger and coursed through him......
