Chapter 4 - Unexpected ally

After principal Skinner told Amber of what had happened he left the room with her to get her a ride home seeing as she had some thoughts to deal with. After a couple hours past the last bell Marcus finally woke up, he gasped quickly looking around the room only to see the doctor smiling as she stared at him. He was immediately up out of the bed and right in front of her his hand around her neck surprising her, he asked quietly, "you saw didn't you?" The doctor smiled speaking as well as she could while he slightly loosened his grip, "you mean the fact that your eye was dark red before it went back to its normal grey, or are you referring to your other eye which is completely black. Which in truth I'm curious about that one." He stared at her wondering why she wasn't more afraid, she sighed, "as much as I like to be choked can we talk for a bit because believe it or not this is a nice blessing for you and maybe me too." Marcus felt he had nothing to lose in listening so he let her go and sat down in between her and the door. She sat down and started explaining, "so the red eye thing was a genetic thing that only one family to this day had been known for the Bahamut family, which as your eye can do that you're a direct descendant." Marcus didn't react and she continued, "which you seem to know, ok well allow me to introduce my self my name is Crystal Romero." She paused watching for a reaction to which she didn't get he just stared at her wondering what that mattered. She sighed slapping her own forehead, "right given your age you probably wouldn't know that family name, well allow me to enlighten you the Romero family was a family that was saved by the Bahamut family a while back and my Grandfather and Grandmother pledged to serve them as thanks, short story told we became like aides to the Bahamut family. Now with that knowledge what does that tell you?" Marcus shrugged, "that your family was close to the people responsible for my genetics, so what?" His answer seemed to stun her and she stood up, "that's it what the hell!" She moved closer to him yelling the whole time very pissed off, "that means I know your family wasn't at all what they say they were, that means the same people that killed your entire family killed mine as well. That means with your help I might finally be able to get the revenge I've always dreamed of." She was now basically face to face with him, "the Ifirt, Geaia, Tenro, and Shiva families all need to pay severely for what they have done to us." Marcus could see just how angry and sincere she was and felt like he could trust her. He smiled an almost evil smile and spoke, "well Crystal do you have any plans tonight?" She took a couple breaths regaining herself and smiled, "not at all why?" Marcus chuckled, "well because this is going to take a bit of time and I think it would be better discussed at my house." She smiled, "wow inviting me over you sure want to take this fast." Marcus stood up and held out his arm pretending to be an escort, she smiled and grabbed her bag then took his arm. After they left the school grounds he surprised her by sweeping her into his arms and taking off running at a very fast speed. With how strong the wind was she buried her face into his chest after a couple minutes he slowed then stopped, when he let her down the first thing she noticed was that she didn't hear any of the normal noise. Traffic, people yelling just noise in general wasn't there, looking around she only saw trees surrounding a very new looking state of the art house. She couldn't even tell which way back was as she looked around, "um where are we?" Marcus smiled as he started walking toward the house, "this is my house." He opened the door and invited her in, as she walked in she was pleasantly surprised to see it was very nice neat and organized. He walked to the fridge and grabbed two sodas turning and handing one to Crystal, she took it and followed him to the living room which looked a lot more lived in. She quickly noticed a few red flags in the room, first there many weapons just laying around ranging from simple knives to full assault rifles, second he had pictures of all the main people of the four families scattered around the room some with knife holes in the pictures as well as what seemed to be files with their names on it scattered around the room, and the third thing she noticed was Marcus was a good deal different when he got home it seemed like he had completely relaxed and let loose. She noticed this as he plopped onto a couch laying down and pointed at another one, "you can sit there I need to make a quick call then we can get to a more detailed discussion." She nodded unsure how to feel but she still felt that by him bringing her here he's showing he trusts her, or he brought her here to kill her. She sat there sipping on her soda while Marcus called someone, she listened as he talked and only overheard, "Romero.... oh really..... as weird as it is I feel it should be fine....don't worry I'm fine you still don't need to be here plus you're busy with your work and I don't want to interrupt that.... ok love you too bye." When he put the phone down he sat up looking at Crystal more seriously, "I now know the family thing you mentioned is true, and back in your office the anger and hatred you showed truly felt real. If you would like I want to hear your story as well as what you want to do for your revenge." He paused to look around at the pictures, "I'll even share some too just to help show my willingness to trust you." Crystal thought about it then agreed and began to tell her story.
