But it wasn’t my body he was interested in. It was my soul. Now who my new vessel actually belonged to I shall never know, for I confess, I never found out. I had heard of the name Matthias before, only because he became my replacement as a disciple. A last ‘fuck you’ I suppose, but other than that, I mainly believed him just human and someone who was fucking my wife,” I said with a snarl of words.
“You caught them?”
“I did. I believe this was yet another attempt on his part to get me to try and murder her, although now, I'm not so sure, for maybe they truly formed a connection, one psycho mind recognising another… or perhaps he just sensed some hidden power within her… honestly, who the fuck knows!” I said, after giving this some thought since all I’d discovered, yet was still coming up empty on why her.
“Wow, that's… that's a lot of history. No offence, I'm kind of wondering how you’re not more fucked up.” At this I couldn't help but laugh, telling her,
“I suppose all my little transgressions against you 30 years ago can now be overlooked.” She gave me a wry look in return before nudging my arm with her shoulder and telling me,
“Don't push it.” I laughed at this before Keira turned to me and wrapped her small arms around me, giving me a hug and forcing me to make the same gesture in return. Then I heard her whisper,
“I'm so sorry for the life you had to endure, and that precious little girl being taken from you.”
“Thank you, little Keira girl,” I replied softly, gaining comfort from her kind words. Then she released me, and swiped a tear from under her eye before she asked me the next painful question, one this time that was personal to her.
“I hate to ask, Lucius, I really do, but I've got to know… does Amelia know any of this?” I winced at this.
“No, she does not and before you say anything, yes I am now regretting all I have kept from her. As for her still being in the dark about my past, then I think it’s doubtful!” I snapped on a growl aimed at those responsible.
“You think?” I gave Keira an obvious look and told her,
“Well, the bad guys tend to enjoy divulging pieces of information they know will inflict pain, so yes, I'm pretty fucking sure she knows.”
“Yeah, good point… my poor girl.”
“Yes, well that poor girl of yours will no doubt be pissed at me for keeping this from her, and hurt and fucking heartbroken and every fucking thing else I deserve. But it matters not, as the most important thing is she is the one I'm trying to save… again.” Keira nodded in understanding and allowed me to hold on to my anger.
“Any idea about how we do that yet?” This question came from behind us, where Draven had now entered in on the conversation. Yet from the look on his face, then I would say he had been privy to this conversation for longer than I should have been aware.
“I would say the importance in stopping them is to first try and prevent them from gaining power over my souls,” I said with a sigh wondering how the fuck I was to achieve such a thing, seeing as their means of doing just that was by using my girl.
“That would be good, as I don’t particularly fancy the idea of becoming some sort of Vampire zombie,” Keira said with a shiver, and Dom frowned at this before he tugged her to him. Then he kept her held at his side before tipping her head back with a hold on her chin.
“I won’t let that happen, my love.” As nice as that sentiment was, I wasn't yet sure it was something Dom could claim to have control of, which was why I said,
“I am not sure we will get that choice.” Dom growled in response and gritted out,
“Explain.”
“Back in Tartarus…”
“Oh great, that place again,” Keira muttered sarcastically, but I ignored this and continued to explain.
“As we both know, when I sacrificed my hand in Tartarus, it held in its veins the Venom of God. This acted as the key to keeping the Titans locked away. As it grew back, I kept that same Venom of God contained, so it could not do harm,” I told them, knowing I was getting close to the part where I would need to
