“Talking”
‘Thinking’
x-x-x-x
As he opened his eyes Jack felt his body freeze… his eyes widening in terror. Bobby stood in the doorway, eyes blank; as if he was blind or something. “Bobby?” he whispered, voice choked with fear and just pure and utter terror.
“I’m so sorry about this Mr. Mercer but we did give you these last few days to do this yourself. You should really tell your mate that he thinks too loud. I promise if you don’t resist then it won’t be so bad.” It was Bobby’s voice but there was a female undertone to it and Jack whimpered in the back of his throat.
Slightly Graphic Rape
Turning he ran to his bathroom and slammed the door, locking it. “Jack! You must just let this happen! This is life, you have to stop being so selfish.” He heard and tears slipped down his cheeks as he backed away from the door. When the door slammed open he jumped and backed into the wall, eyes wide and full of terror. “Please Bobby… Bobby come on, man, you promised..” he whispered as his brother came to him.
The next thing Jack was aware of was that he was on the floor and Bobby was on top of him. Crying out as his pants were ripped down his thighs, scratching him, Jack pleaded incoherently as he found Bobby’s pants were down and his brother’s harden dick was out and ‘ready’.
Sobbing Jack cried ‘no’ over and over again as he was helpless to even try and push Bobby away. Feeling Bobby push his way between his legs Jack sobbed harder “Please, you promised, Bobby stop please you promised you wouldn’t hurt me! You said you’d stop if I said!!!” he cried out.
Feeling the blunt head of his brother’s dick at his unprepared hole Jack cried out hoarsely as he felt it slam into his resisting body.
He felt his body rip and tear and blood start to trickle down his thighs then he felt Bobby freeze on top of him and he sobbed; pain, betrayal, hurt, agony written all over his face. His brother put his sweaty forehead on his shoulder and he could feel Bobby’s body tensing and relaxing.
End Scene
“Get the fuck outa my head!” he heard and tried to wiggle away. Before he could get away he felt himself flying away from his brother’s body “Run! Get outa here, now!” he heard Bobby bark and got up, legs shaky, and ran to his room.
He grabbed his black sweats from the floor and pulled them up as he stumbled down the stairs. His body was falling before he felt someone catch him and struggled. “Jackie! Calm down its Angel!” he heard and sobbed, clutching his brother.
The front door was slammed open and Conner came running in and took a look at the scene. “Fuck…” his friend said and Angel was carrying him down the stairs. His body throbbed and he felt his pants sticking to his thighs a little. “I gotta go check Bobby.” He heard Jerry say before he heard footsteps on the stairs.
“Jackie?” he heard and felt his friends surrounding him but he stared at the floor. Never in his life had he felt this enraged; not even when Marcus tried to shoot Bobby, not when his ‘ma died, not when Seth told his brothers everything, not even when Xander died and he met Miles.
Before he could process what he was doing Jack was standing up, his friends and brother backing up immediately when they saw his glowing metallic blue eyes. It was like in those anime movies where the character feels so much rage and pain that their powers finally kick in and match the person’s emotions.
Walking out the door, his family behind him, he walked out to the chilly air, feeling the wind and weather start to pick up and make a sort of small funnel around him. He saw the car that the two Flyer’s were in and when it started to back away he clenched his hands, at his sides.
The car litterly picked up into the air and slowly moved to face him, before dropping down into the street. Warmth came to him as he felt Bobby behind him but with his powers right now, not even Bobby could get to him.
“Do you have any idea what you’ve done?!” he said, his voice deep and seemed to vibrate down the empty street. The two Flyers got out of the car and when he felt the mind controller try and get into his mind he shook his head.
“You have know idea the power I have!” he spoke to her, eyes glowing, and saw her own widen, first in shock then in fear. “Can you even possible imagine what you’ve just done to me?!?!” he roared cars all over exploding in blue fire.
People screamed but his eyes stayed locked on to the mind controller “I was 4yrs old when my father tied me to a table and cut off my wings. I was 4 when him and my uncle held me down and raped me! I was 4yrs old when I was forced to watch, listen, and feel my brother and two cousins being raped and beaten!” when he was done he was screaming and heat was radiating off his body.
Never had he ever admitted what had happened to him there… he’d never spoken it out loud and now he was and his hatred and anger was pulsing on a very dangerous level.
“I understand that you were hurt but you cannot just let yourself die! You don’t understand, your power will pulse off you and kill hundreds of innocent people!” the controller started and Jack stared at her, his head slightly bowed and his eyes locked with her.
Power rose up his throat and for once he didn’t try and hold back “Power?! You wanna know power, I’ll show you power!” he hissed menacingly.
The street beneath them all rumbled and cracked, steam rising from it’s depths. Above them the sky darkened and thunder cracked like a whip and lighting struck out, hitting the ground all around them. Jack saw the realization in the council members eyes as he felt it within himself.
They wanted him.. the council… they wanted him to ‘join their side’ and ‘help’ Flyers. His power was indefinable, unlimited, and unmatched and he would live forever… him and his chosen ones.
All Flyers lived longer then humans and, hundreds of years of mixing DNA, humans lived well into their hundreds. This was one of the reasons why the council wanted him, he realized, because there were a lot of cults out there who were taking Flyer children and doing experiments on them and they didn’t know how to handle it.
A sudden thought penetrated his mind and Jack focused his glowing eyes on the mind controller. Watched her eyes widen Jack could feel it tremble inside him and he started talking.. not even really knowing what he was saying.
“You want to understand though don’t you? You want to understand so you can ‘figure out’ a way to make me ‘mate’.” He spoke calmly and with such emptiness that it made everyone stare at him, his words were coming from nowhere and everywhere at the same time.
He didn’t know how he knew this; he’d never touched this part of his powers… never trusting himself to. “Fine… you wanna understand… I’ll help you.” The words came out calm and he watched as both their eyes widen. His metallic wings ripped from his back and surrounded him. Later when people asked what he looked like the only thing they would be able to say described him was that he looked like a vengeful angel.
Before anyone could even comprehend what he meant both Flyers fell to their knees and gave loud, kneeing, screams. Jack watched them, disgusted.
“This is what I went through… this is what I lived, what I felt, and what I witnessed. Do you understand now? Do you still wanna know why I don’t wanna mate?! Do you fucking understand what you just did to me!?!?” he screamed, lighting flashing and street lights erupting like torches.
The two Flyers lay curled on the ground sobbing as Jack pulled back. He let them experience just a taste of what he went through in the basement. He stared at them on the cracked street and didn’t feel any sorrow or guilt for what he’d done.
“Now you know… when you go back to your little families tonight and go to bed and have your ‘mate’ fuck you, you’ll hear those screams. Most people say it’s their own experiences that keep them awake at night but you wanna know what?” he asked and stared at their trembling frames.
Shaking his head he remembered being tied to Xander and watching as they raped and beat him; feeling it. “It’s not… when you feel them… all those other kids that they brought in. I felt them… all those years; their rapes, beatings, deaths… I felt it, watched it, heard it. And that’s what keeps you awake at night, to afraid to go to sleep because when you turn off the lights you see them.
You see all those kids surrounding your bed staring at you, screaming. When you go to have sex this is what you’ll think of right before.. you’ll remember the pain, humiliation, the disgust and hatred… you’ll remember blood and agony.” He paused and watched as they tried to back away from him.
Feeling his lower lip tremble he clenched his fists “I spent 5years in hell… 5 years being tortured and feeling everyone else, children, tortured around me. No matter how much I show you, you will never be able to understand that. You can ask every fucking victim and you will never be able to fucking understand what that’s like.
"You can’t imagine or understand what it’s like to wake up every day and pray today’s the day that they’ll finally have mercy and kill you. You’ll never be able to understand that.” He spoke quietly, tears falling again, and he felt tired.. exhausted.
“Get out… come near me or my family again and I will kill you.” He said and watched as they got into their car. As they drove down the street Jack opened his wings and took off. He couldn’t deal with this… he needed time.
He was high above them within seconds, not knowing where this energy was coming from and not caring. The dark clouds covered him and kept him from being seen as he flew, not knowing where he was going and not knowing why. It wasn’t until he landed that he trembled and was able to understand.
He understood what he needed to do as he felt the terror and pain rise up in him. Understood what needed to be done to heal, not just himself but every child who lived here.
x-x-x
Standing in front of him was a two story house, a Victoria with a porch that went all the way around. There were about twenty other houses around this one and all of them looked about the same. All were abandoned and were dark and decaying.
People that came here, especially on Halloween, say that this abandoned Community was haunted and that if you listened you could hear the screaming of tortured souls.
It was true too… whispered cries and screams filled the air which surrounded each house. Screams of children locked in a torturous hell blew the wind and gave you goosebumps. Jack stared at the house that haunted his nightmares to this day and trembled. Surrounding the ‘Community’ was a small forest which marked where the Community started and kept people out… or well did.
Whimpering Jack started to walk forward, the screams and cries for help getting louder with each passing step. People had done ‘research’ to figure out why this place is the way it is but no one could figure it out.. it was probably because the people investigating were the reason why this place is the way it is.
Stepping on the porch Jack pretended he didn’t feel the memories creep up… but he did and he was so out of it he didn’t see the car speeding down the road.
Walking into his hell for the first time in almost 13years Jack trembled as he felt the screams filling his head. Suddenly they stopped, just like that, and he turned his head to the door and found his family; Bobby, Angel, Jerry, Conner, Mia, and Alexis, standing in the door.
Tears fell from his eyes as he turned back around and walked through the living room. The place looked so much smaller then it had before. There were pictures on the wall and he recognized Marcus and various of the other men and woman who had a helping hand in his and countless others torture.
As he walked into the kitchen he felt his family and friends behind him and as he walked into the kitchen all of them froze. Tilting his head to the side Jack stared, eyes sad, at the four translucent children standing in the corner of the kitchen. “Jack?!” he heard Angel ask, confusion and fear in his older brother’s voice.
The four children were him, Xander, Kerra, and Seth. They were all in blue hospital looking clothes; all the Flyer children were forced to wear them. All their smocks were covered in blood, their legs having trails of blood going down their inner legs.
“This is the price of stolen innocence.” He whispered and watched as his younger self looked at him before pointing to the table; his wrists being wrapped in fence wire, which made them bleed.
Sobbing out a silent breath Jack nodded and watched as his younger self took Xander’s hand and all four children turned and slowly walked away, disappearing through the wall.
He heard the gasps behind him when the children turned and had turned his eyes away. All their backs had been shredded to pieces and the only thing he was thankful for was that they had the grey shorts on.
Going over to the kitchen table he pushed it away and moved back the rug, which lay underneath it. A hidden door led to the hell which no one knew where to find; all the houses had them. “Jack?” he heard Bobby call and tensed before ignoring him and walking down the stairs.
The mating hadn’t worked… it would’ve if Bobby hadn’t pushed him away but because neither him nor Bobby had an orgasm his body didn’t produce the ‘virus’ that Seth talked about. Jack could be thankful for that. At least they still had a chance.. but honestly after that he didn’t think he could do it.
Standing in the middle of the barely lit room, Jack heard them come down the stairs. The lights had gone on automatically, since they were hooked up to a generator.
It was clear as day what this place really was as they looked around. On the left, as you come down, was a cage of sorts that held four beds one on each wall. On the left though… there were two dental chairs that had stains of years of old caked on blood on them.
The wall behind the chairs held ‘things’ from knives, to whips, to sex toys, to different tools. On the other side of the ‘chairs’ was a small laboratory looking set-up and in back of that was the wall… the wall had four sets of chains for four children to be lined up. The wall, you could see, was stained blood and looked like it was dripping still, as if the innocent blood could never be stopped.
Sobbing Jack walked into the cage and over to ‘his’ bed. Reaching underneath, eyes closed, Jack pulled out a small stuff toy that he’d left. When they ran Jack decided that he’d leave it here incase another child was brought in.
It was a stupid toy him and Xander had snuck in when they were 5 and slept with together. It was a small dirty, grimy, rabbit but in this hell it was the only light they had, and they’d grip it at night while listening to the screams from upstairs.
Over all the place was huge and there was still another door that led to another part of the place. “What’s in here?” he heard Angel ask and his eyes shot up “No!” he called but it was too late and Angel had opened the door.
Screams came bursting out of the room, one scream was his own as a child. Wind filled with small bones, dirt, and other such things threw Angel back into Jerry and Conner making all three fall and get covered.
“Fuck!!! What the FUCK!??!” Conner screamed as he jumped off the floor, dusting himself off. Slowly Jack walked out of the cage and into a new hell entirely. The room was bigger then the other one and on the far side was a fire place and surrounding the fire place were bones… bones of children. The room looked like a small hospital.. those hospitals that you see on horror movies; the one with the crazy mad scientist.
Walking into the room he heard moans and cries of children, 50-75 different cries and then translucent children were in the room.
“Holy fuck!!!” he heard Alexis and Mia croak while the guys stared blankly. Children of all sizes from 4-13yrs old stood around the room; some looked fine and those were the ones that were the innocence’s but others… others were missing body parts, some were cut, some were so messed up that you couldn’t tell what sex they were.
The cries and screams of the room got louder as he stood there but none of the ghosts moved their lips or anything. One came forward… a little boy that had his chest carved out, and Jack whimpered and backed away but then the boy touched his arm and Jack stiffened.
Going to his knees he watched as the boy’s body healed itself before glowing in a white light before disintegrating into the air. “Jack?!” he heard Bobby call to him but when his brothers and friends came forward the children looked up at them and a shield formed around the doorway, keeping them out and Jack in.
He couldn’t die… so this was why he was here… to help them… set them free. One by one each of the dark, wounded, children came up and touched him.
Jack experienced their deaths and slowly his power healed their spirit, helping it move on. Soon he was sitting on the floor, hands out in front of him, and looking up at the innocence’s. These children were ghosts created when a child is raped and part of the child is left behind.
He couldn’t help these and they stared at him silently before they made a path and he saw his own. The little four year old boy, the one from upstairs, had big rips in his back with bone sticking out of his shoulder blades. Blood stained every part of his body and he had tear stains on his face. The only way to get rid of these were for the person, now, to accept them… remember them and heal them.
The little boy looked at him hopeful then looked behind him at Bobby and tilted his head. Jack looked behind himself at his brother and locked eyes with Bobby and blinked slowly. Bobby had fought off a mind controller for him… loved him so much that he found the strength to fight off a council mind controller.
Sniffing Jack turned back and swallowed as he saw the little smile on his younger self’s face. Suddenly the boy jumped at him, wrapping his arms around his neck and whispered, loud enough for all to hear, “I’m not afraid anymore…” before he disappeared. It was like it set off a chain reaction and all the children were disappearing through the walls to find their older selves.
Standing slowly Jack gripped the stuffed rabbit in his hand and walked to the furnace and put the stuffed animal in front of the mouth of the thing. Backing away Jack swallowed once more and looked around.
“Come on…” he whispered and walked out, up the stairs, then walked out the front door.
Stopping when he was outside the gate Jack made sure everyone was behind him before he closed his eyes. He imagined the small rabbit by the furnace and then imagined it blowing up. He opened his eyes just in time to see the house erupt the flames going high up in the sky.
“One down… 20 to go..” he said as he turned to look at the other houses. He stopped, though, when he saw Xander standing beside him.
“Xannie?!” he heard Alexis whisper and both turned to her. Xander looked down in shame but took a breath and walked to her and kissed her forehead lightly, everyone watched as a light engulfed her.
“I give it back…” he whispered and when he saw her confused look and smiled sadly “You’re heart…and your soul. I like him… that Chase guy.. he’s nice. Good for you.” Xander said to her and she stared at him, tears falling.
Then Xander turned to Conner and Mia and pulled them into a hug, whispering in their ears so no one else heard. When he let them go Xander turned to him and shook his head, running his hand on his head.
“I’m so sorry.. you have no idea how sorry I am. But I needed you there, needed to see you before; you know?” his cousin said to him and Jack nodded carefully.
“So… this… setting everyone free. God there are so many trapped here, J. So many that not even you know about. I know I can’t talk you out of doing it because, fuck, if I was in your place I’d do it too. Just be careful, ya? Take it one at a time.” Xander told him and he nodded again.
“Can you… can you tell Kerra I love her.. and my mom, dad, and Seth? I miss ‘em, you know?” he asked and Jack nodded.
Xander grabbed him and hugged him tightly “Love you…” Jack muttered into his shoulder, tears falling, “Love you too.” Xander muttered. When he pulled away Xander gave him a smirk and his wings came out “Flying’s fun right? Told you so!” he teased and Jack rolled his eyes and laughed. Xander’s eyes flashed to Bobby and Jack opened his mouth only to pause and turn his head.
“I hate you. I hated you when Jack first told me that you were his mate. I hated you even more when you left him that night. Then … then about an hour and a half ago you were in a position to rape my cousin and just give in. Say fuck it! And take what you obviously want…” Xander paused and really looked at Bobby, who had shame written in his eyes.
“But instead you fought one of the most powerful mind controllers in the world. You heard him call out to you… and you protected him, pulling away and making sure you were able to stop yourself. You did something no other human in your position would’ve been able to do.” There was a pause again and Bobby had a shocked look in his eyes as he stared at Xander.
Xander had this sickened look on his face as he took a breath “I know you don’t need it but… you… you have my blessing. Jack’s my baby cousin, my brother, just… be careful!” he said and Jack felt his face heat up “I’m right here you know?!” he snapped and watched both turn to him.
Xander rolled his eyes “You’ll live forever you know? It’s not that easy… you’re gonna be able to pick a select few people and give them this gift and have them live with you. The council” Xander spat “I think you should join…” he held up his hands when everyone stared in shock.
“You don’t get it. There are a lot of other cults in this world and they do need help. Those kids need someone who’ll understand them. Jack if you join them none of them will be able to go against you. You would be the top person or what ever. You’d be able to change the rules and stop the wrongs that they’re doing. You’d be able to save so many people, so many children.” He said and Jack swallowed and shrugged “I’ll think about it.” He muttered “One day at a time.” He added and saw Xander smirk.
“Before I leave I got somethin’ for you four.” Xander said looking from each Mercer brother before settling on Jack “She wanted to say goodbye.” And before the words were out of his mouth Jack felt his jaw drop. Evelyn Mercer came into view in a long light blue sweater and black jeans.
“My boys…” she whispered and even as she said it she was pulling all of them to her. She gave each a hug, which they held on tight whispering and crying.
When she grabbed Bobby she held him tight then smiled at him “You’re a good brother Bobby, you take care of your family, alright? You’ve grown so much…” she whispered, kissing his cheek, then hugged him one last time before looking at Jack. “Baby, oh Jackie!” she whispered as he sobbed and fell into her arms “I’m so sorry!” he sobbed wrapping his arms around her.
She shook her head and kissed his cheek “No, sweetheart, what happened was not your fault… No!! Hey you listen to me! Those men were bad… and I could never, never, blame you or any of my boys for what happened!” she made him look at her as she spoke.
Before long they were hugging again and when Evelyn hugged Jack the last time she held him close and whispered in his ear “Don’t be afraid of loving.. it’s the most wonderful experience that you could ever hope for. Bobby’ll take care of you, sweetheart, trust him and if he does something you don’t like open your mouth and tell him!” she said then kissed his cheek and stepped back. “You boys be good… remember I love you.” She said and like that she was gone and so was Xander.
They stood there for a long time before Jack shook his head “I wanna go home.” He whispered, his wings curling around him against the cold. That’s when they all realized that he was in a tank-top and sweats. As one they all slowly went back to the car and Jerry drove back to the loft.
