Chapter 274 - Chapter 142 Part 2 The Day of Blood

Marcus seems to be having another trauma episode because of blood and the tragic incident involving his family. Even though Sophie noticed it, she does not seem to be able to calm him down.

(A few years ago)

Marcus's Mother: "What is it, Stefan?"

Stefan: "Hmm...Anna...I'm sorry."

Anna: "Hmm?"

Marcus: "Huh?"

Marcus's Brother: "Huh?"

(Slash!)

Anna: "Urk..."

Marcus: "Ugh."

Marcus's Brother: "Mom!"

She was struck in the neck and fell to the ground. The man then looked at Marcus's brother.

Marcus's Brother: "Dad...wait...please."

(Slash!)

Marcus: "Huh!"

Marcus was actually older than five years old, old enough to understand what was happening. The idea that he experienced this as a baby was not true. He simply did not want anyone to talk about it anymore.

Marcus: "Big brother."

He turned around. His brother was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open in shock, dead.

Marcus: "Ugh."

Stefan: "Hahh..."

Anna: "Ghh...Marcus."

Stefan: "For goodness' sake, Anna, just die already, please."

He moved over her and attacked her several more times.

Marcus: "Huh!"

(Slash!)

Anna: "...Mar...cus."

Her hand fell.

Anna: "(Silence)"

Stefan: "Surely you hate me, Marcus...I'm sorry. I wanted to protect our family from the dead...You are young...you still have a future. I hope you can...end our curse. Goodbye."

He took a gun and ended his own life.

(Bang!)

Marcus: "Ugh."

(Slash!)

Marcus: "...Mom?...Dad?"

He slowly walked toward his mother and shook her body.

Marcus: "Mom...Mom...Mom."

(Crash!)

The door opened.

Neighbor: "What is going on here...Ugh! Heavens Name!!

Marcus: "Mom...Mom."

Neighbor: "What happened here..."

He looked at Marcus. Marcus was covered in blood.

Marcus: "...Mm...mm...Mom..."

Neighbor: "Ugh."

He picked Marcus up and carried him away.

Neighbor: "Come on, I'll call an ambulance. Don't worry, little one...I hope it is not too late."

But it was too late for Marcus's mother and siblings, of course since this day Marcus hates his past. Still, he did not blame his father ...he blamed himself despite beeing a kid ...he saw his weakness and though this was the reason his mom Died and his siblings too

(Ding)

(The next day)

terrible tragedy. A father allegedly killed his wife and one of his children, while sparing the other child, probably because the child was too young or because the father regretted what he had done and then ended his own life...Whatever the case may be, the boy is currently in a state of shock...And according to the authorities, whenever he sees something red, he screams or cries...Why exactly the father did this...Nobody knows. The police believe the man became mentally unstable and that this led to the horrific incident. The boy will be taken to an orphanage 

This was on the news

(A few months later)

Dark Umbrella Member: "That is the boy."

Ms Valentine: "I see...Take him with you."

She gently stroked his head.

Ms Valentine: "Don't be afraid, my boy...Come with me...I will take care of you. What is your name?"

She placed her hand on his head.

Ms Valentine: "Hmm?"

Marcus: "Marcus..."

Ms Valentine: "A beautiful name...Marcus."

She carried him in her arms.

Ms Valentine: "Come with me...We will help you."

(A few years later)

Meliodas: "Dear class...this is Fiona. She is your new classmate...Please take care of her. She has been through a lot."

Marcus: "Hmm?"

Fiona: "...(Silence)..."

Student: "She's so boring...She doesn't say anything."

Female Student: "Look at her, hehe. She already has a walking stick? Even my grandma doesn't have one...and she's eighty."

Fiona: "Mmm..."

Marcus: "Hmm."

Dwayne: "Dude, stop picking on the poor girl..."

Student: "But Dwayne...Just look at her...hehehe...It's funny. I heard she lost her parents...Oh, you poor little girl."

Suddenly, Marcus stood in front of him.

Student: "Huh?"

Marcus: "Oh, so you think it is funny when someone loses their parents...Hmm...Instead of being grateful that your parents are still alive, you make fun of an orphan? Hmm?"

Dwayne: "Hmm?...Marcus?"

Fiona: "Hmm."

Dwayne: "Hey, little girl, come over here..."

Sophie: "Hmm..."

She looked at Marcus.

Sophie: "Our silent boy can actually talk after all, huh...hehehe...Well, look at that..."

Marcus: "Hmm?"

(End of memory)

Marcus: "Mmm."

Fiona: "Marcus...Marcus."

Marcus: "Huh!...What?"

Fiona: "Ah...You're awake...John Titor came to us. He was worried that something had happened to you because you would not wake up."

Marcus: "Ohh."

Fiona: "Are you okay?"

Marcus: "Sure...Mmm...Where is it?"

Fiona: "Hmm?...Oh...You mean your doll...Hmm...Did you lose it?"

Marcus: "Oh no, there it is."

It was a very fluffy doll. He held it in his hands.

Fiona: "Hmm..."

Marcus: "Ugh...(Turns red)...Don't tell anyone."

Fiona: "Hmm?"

Marcus: "I don't want anyone to know about this...It...should remain a secret...I cannot get rid of this doll."

Fiona: "It's okay...Look, I always keep this little doll on my keychain."

She held up her keys.

Fiona: "Ms Valentine gave it to me when I was a child."

Marcus: "Ohhh..."

Fiona: "I won't tell anyone...But hurry up, otherwise the others will come in too and see it. Although I think they wouldn't say anything..."

Marcus: "Mmm."

Fiona: "Sophie said you were awake tonight."

Marcus: "...Yes."

She placed her hand on his forehead.

Marcus: "Ugh. What are you doing?"

Fiona: "I'm just checking if you have a fever...Hmm."

(Why does she keep becoming more caring?... She used to be different...And...was she always this warm and caring?... She's so close...People look prettier when they're close...and she isn't wearing makeup either...Just like Sophie...)"

Fiona: "Good...It doesn't seem like you have a fever."

She placed her hand on his neck.

Marcus: "Hey..."

Fiona: "Hold still for a moment, okay...Hmm...Seems fine...Come on, get up."

She stretched out her hand, and he took it.

Marcus: "Mmm."

He put the doll into his pocket.

Marcus: "Hmm..."

Fiona: "Hmm?"

Marcus: "I'm not a child...but I need the doll."

Fiona: "That's not a problem."

Marcus: "Really not?...You are standing in front of a monster."

Fiona: "Hmm?"

Marcus: "Hmm."

Fiona: "I don't see a monster...I only see Marcus, the boy I went to school with...You better hurry...Otherwise Sophie is going to have a nervous breakdown."

Sophie: "Young people, move your asses!!!!!!"

Fiona: "(Sweating)...Oh."

Marcus: "(Sweating)...Um..."

Sophie: "Good grief!"

(Crash!)

She opened the door.

Sophie: "Seriously...Do you have a stick up your ass?...Hurry up."

Both of them looked behind themselves to see if they actually had a stick up their asses.

Sophie: "That was a metaphor, for goodness' sake..."

Marcus: "Oh."

Fiona: "The way you say that so often, I thought I actually had one."

Sophie: "Now come on...And Marcu...Um..."

She saw him holding the doll.

Marcus: "Ughh...Damn."

He hid it.

Sophie: "What was that?...A doll?"

Marcus: "Mmm...(Turns red)..."

Sophie: "Marcus...Ohhhhh...You're so cute!"

Marcus: "Huh?"

Sophie: "You still hold on to the doll Ms Valentine gave you...That's so cute."

Marcus: "Mmm...(Turns red)..."

Sophie: "Hehehe...Come on now."

Fiona: "Hmm...(Smiles slightly)...Marcus...Come on now...I told you that the others, at least Sophie and I, wouldn't mind."

Sophie: "Yeah, come on...Now...I'm hungry."

Marcus: "Hmm."

Fiona: "Okay...okay."

Sophie: "Let's go."

They went downstairs.

Sophie: "Hmm...I want something sweet to drink...Something like yesterday...Mmmm...That drink was amazing."

They went downstairs.

Siegfried: "(Yawns)..."

Rosika: "Mmmm."

John: "Oh, there they finally are. Come on, hurry up, I'm starving."

Sophie: "Hmm?"

Fiona: "Where is Viola?"

Sophie: "Oh, she's probably still getting dressed."

She came too.

Viola: "I'm here."

Sophie: "Hmm...Mmm!!!"

Fiona: "Ughh."

Siegfried: "Ughh."

This time, she was wearing...a normal dress.

Viola: "(Turns red)...What...is it?...Doesn't it suit...me?"

Fiona: "You look fabulous. Really."

Sophie: "Yeah...Cute."

Viola: "Oh...Okay...Thank you."

Fiona: "Okay."

Sophie: "Well then, let's go. After breakfast, we have to go to the military."

Marcus: "Yes."

John Titor: "Huh. Can we move on now? I'm really starving."

Fiona: "Alright..."

Sophie: "Good grief."

They went to a restaurant.

Sophie: "Mmm!!!"

It was one nearby.

Fiona: "You have to admit, the food is good here."

Marcus: "It may be."
