"Who the hell is Dakrin?" Marcus asked again, annoyance was apparent on his
face. Jesse was starting to get on his nerves with her silence, even though,
he himself was like that sometimes.
 
Jesse's composer was starting to return then. She looked at Marcus through her
mirror plated shades and said, "If you do no not know, I'll explain it later
tonight. Right now, we have to handle this situation, with Kasey." She said
low, smooth and calm voice that was like Marcus'. It put him at ease, somewhat.
 
Marcus looked over at Kasey, her eyes were still beaming with the lust they
felt only moments ago. She had all her clothes on, but she still looked
beautiful to Marcus. He wondered how, on earth, and in this century, could he
explain this to Mouse.
 
"Look, I know were she lives, by the cursory scan I did on her. I'll go to her
home and SHAPE the thoughts of her parents so that everything will be alright,
so they won't call the police." Jesse did have a calm voice, but her face
still contained a bit of shock.
 
"Are you sure that you don't want some help?" Marcus asked, for some reason he
did not want her to leave his side.
 
"Yes, I'm sure. You go home, tell the news of Kasey, then smooth every thing
over. Even if it does take using your ability on Kathy. We can't afford to
mess this kid up." Jesse stated.
 
Kasey looked a bit offended at being called a kid. Hell, she was a little
offended at being talked about, while she was standing right there. But she
endured it because she loved her man so much. She would be quiet if he wished.
 
"All right, if we're going to do it, lets get it done." Marcus said, his
thoughts still spinning like a hurricane.
 
"As you wish, Lord Marcus." Jesse said and walked out of the janitorial room.
 
*Lord Marcus? What the hell does that mean?* he thought to himself, with great
confusion.
 
"Well, Kasey, looks like you're coming home with me." Marcus said with an
impish smile. The idea of having a "follower" was really beginning to grow on
him.
 
Kasey beamed at this statement. She gave a girlish giggle and gave Marcus a
gracious hug. "Thank you so MUCH!" she said with what looked to be genuine
sincerity.
 
"Let's go." Marcus said, then started for the door. Kasey was overly joyed to
follow.
 
Marcus' head was filled with questions of Jesse's last statement. He wondered
who Dakrin was and if she meant that he was his son. By the way she sounded,
the man sounded important. He remembered boyhood dreams in foster care, of
having a famous father.
 
Every step Marcus took near his home, made him more nervous. He did not know
how to explain Kasey, to Kathy. Marcus figured he would use the straight
forward truth with Mouse. After all, she had said she wanted to know what he
learned today.
 
Kasey was close to Marcus, but slightly behind. He wondered what she was
thinking about, so, he peered into her thoughts, and found that she did not
want to step before her MAN. She did not think of herself as a slave. Kasey
was also thinking of ways to please him. She thought that was the most
important aspect of life, to please Marcus.
 
Marcus saw these thoughts in her head and had mixed emotions. On one hand, he
was ashamed of what he had done to this poor girl. On the other, the wicked
one, he felt like it would be pretty neat to have a follower, and he felt a
sense of power.
 
On the way to his home, Marcus put a few commands inside Kasey's mind. The
first was, that she spoke to no one but Jesse, Mouse or him about his
abilities. The second was that she treat his family with respect. She did not
have to worship them, just give them respect were respect was due.
 
As he made it to the front door, Marcus already knew what he was going to do.
He was going to SHAPE Kathy's way of thinking, so that she would like the idea
that Kasey is staying. With that thought in mind, he walked through the door.
 
Marcus knew that Mouse was probably still at Jenny's, so it would be just him
and Kathy. He walked into the kitchen and seen that Kathy was making herself
an afternoon snack. She looked quite beautiful standing there and Marcus hated
what he had to do next, but did it none the less.
 
"I'm glad your here, do you want someth-" She was cut of in mid sentence by
Marcus' mind lock.
 
Marcus then dove into Kathy's mind. He found thoughts there that he had never
thought of. Marcus found that she had very loving memories of him. From the
moment that he had entered her life. This made him feel even more guilty of
what he was doing.
 
Marcus then proceeded to implant a command, it said that she should allow
whoever Marcus said he wanted to stay, stay. Marcus could have implanted more
commands if he wished, but he would have not have done that, even if you waved
a million dollars in front of his face.
 
Marcus then erased all knowledge in her memory that anything happened. Kathy
would forget the mind lock, she would also forget that he walked into the
room. When he released her, it was as if she just now saw him enter the room.
 
"Hey Marcus, I'm glad your here, do you want something to eat?" She asked this
with a radiant smile.
 
"No thanks, this here is Kasey. I found her at the mall and I have to INSIST
that she stays here with me..." Marcus said, hoping to the gods that his
command worked.
 
"That's fine dear, she can have the last guest room," Kathy said with that
same radiance, and added, "You know, if you keep bringing people home like
this I'm going to go broke!" Then let out a care free laugh.
 
Marcus was not in the same good spirits as she was, he felt a little more than
guilty. He gave a gracious smile though, for Kathy's sake, then motioned to
Kasey to follow him up stairs. He walked with his head bowed, and hands in his
pockets, as he walked upstairs. Anyone who knew him, could tell he was in deep
thought.
 
"So, which room is mine, Marcus?" Kasey asked with exuberance, she was overly
ecstatic with the possibility that she could live with her man. She did not
much care for the fact that she could not sleep in his room though.
 
"This one right here," Marcus said, opening the door to the guest room. "I
guess we can go retrieve your things from your old home tomorrow." He said in
a low and contemplative voice.
 
"This will be perfect!" Kasey said with a squeal.
 
*She's perky, that's for sure*. Marcus thought with a quiet smile. That's when
he heard the front door open and close, downstairs. He figured it was Mouse.
Because after a brief conversation with Kathy, he heard someone run up the
staircase. Since he knew that Jesse would never run like that, it narrowed the
possibility of who it was down.
 
"Who's this? You brought another one home?!" Mouse was a little loud when she
said this. 

"Let's go talk in my room. Kasey, stay in here, until I call you, OK?"
 
"Kay." She said in a typical teenage fashion.
 
Marcus then just walked past Mouse, and out the door. He walked in his room,
glad to be finished with the outside world, for today anyway. Marcus knew,
even before he left the guest room, that he was just going to give Mouse the
blunt truth. 

He walked straight to his desk and sat down in the chair, with a tired sigh.
Mouse walked in and sat on the edge of his bed, her face was sort of red from
anger. She sat there with an expectant and irritated look. Basically, the look
of a jealous teen.
 
"I messed up big," Marcus started off. He didn't like admitting when he was in
the wrong, because he hardly ever was. "I used to much power on her, she can't
leave my side or she'll go mad." Marcus said this with a look of sadness that
made Mouse believe, if he could take it back, he would.
 
"How did you get Mom to let another girl move in here?" Mouse asked, her
expression changed from anger to curiosity. Marcus just looked at her a long
moment and she finally caught on.
 
"You didn't! How could you do that?!" She yelled at him. Marcus suddenly felt
old and tired beyond his years. He did not know if this was over exertion of
his power, or if he was just emotionally drained. What ever it was Mouse seen
it in his face and calmed herself.
 
"She still acts the same, you didn't change her in any other way did you?" She
asked, Mouse was worried about her mother.
 
"No, I only gave the command for her to agree to let Kasey stay here." He said
in a low and tired voice.
 
That's when Jesse appeared in the door way. She was dressed differently. She
looked like she did when he found her, she was dressed in all black. Tight
jeans, and a t-shirt that showed off her chest quite well. The conclusion came
to Marcus that she must have stolen some clothes from the mall.
 
"Lord Marcus, I need to speak with you." She said in the same low and serious
voice she usually had.
 
"Lord?" Mouse, asked with a questioning look in her eyes, as she got up to
leave the two of them alone. She could tell by Jesse's demeanor, that what she
had to say to Marcus was important. She hoped Marcus would ask her to stay as
she left, but that thought was to no avail.
 
After Mouse walked by, Jesse closed the door behind her. "I suppose you have
quite a few questions?" Jesse asked, while she replaced Mouse's seat on the
bed.
 
Marcus merely nodded, as if she already knew his questions. Marcus' tiredness
was rather quickly starting to be replaced by curiosity. He suddenly wanted to
know about the necklace that was around his neck, and he most defiantly wanted
to know about this Dakrin guy, Jesse was raving about earlier.
 
"Before I tell you of Dakrin," she started, lowering her shades so he could
see her eyes. "I think that maybe I should tell you a little more about the
Zone." She added, intensity was apparent in her eyes.
 
"I have to admit I'm curious of that place as well. I would have asked you
earlier, but I did not want to prod, it's not my style. But now that you bring
it up...." He said, trailing off so she could start.
 
"The Zone was first originated in a little shit hole town in New Mexico. The
older of our kind, know the story better than I, but I will tell you what I
know. It was started by a man with great power. He came to the town with eight
Shadow Knights 30 years ago," She said, her eyes looking like intense blue
fire.
 
"We do have one thing in common with the Bible, you know," She said with an
impish smile. "It says in the Bible, to be fruitful and multiply. That was
what this powerful man that adorned the town said." She added the last part
with a little larger smile. Marcus just gave her a nod to continue.
 
"This man, he set the institution for the Zone. He set laws, acquisitions and
other formalities. Basically, he wrote a new bible for the Knights to go by.
He was also such a strong telepath, that he sent invitations to any blonde
hair, blue eyed Knight in the world, to come and join Shadow Zone." She said,
Looking at Marcus waiting for a question, the one she got, she did not expect.
 
"Why do they call it the 'Shadow Zone'" He asked, Jesse did not expect this
question. She thought, he would ask were exactly did Dakrin come into play.
 
"They called it the Shadow Zone, and us Shadow Knights, because all of us have
very sensitive eyes, when it comes to light anyway. That, and the name just
seemed to describe the first eight fairly well. They were all masters of the
blade," She said with sorrow in her eyes.
 
By this time, Marcus' thoughts were in absolute turmoil. he was thinking of a
thousand different things at once. He did not say anything though, because he
did not want to interrupt Jesse's tale of biblical proportions, at least when
it came to his kind.
 
"This powerful man, that came to the small town, was not an evil person. He
had some pity for the Normals that were around them. He made it law, that no
Knight should have more than two followers at a time. He made it so, they
would not harm the followers either. That the followers fell under protection
of Shadow Law," She said, as she stood up and leaned against Marcus' desk.
 
She did that so she would be closer and she continued, "He said that no
follower shall ever come to harm by a Shadow Knight. He also made laws that we
should not interfere with the outside world, lest we come under suspicion. His
Shadow Law made since..." She said and trailed off.
 
Again, he did not interrupt, because he wanted her to continue, with as much
detail as possible. His mind was still spinning though, with possibilities he
was thinking about. The Zone, sounded like the exact place he should be, at
the moment anyway.
 
"For years, the Knights of the Zone followed these rules and laws. Then the
day came, exactly 16 years ago, that they grew tired of the old ways. They
were tired of this powerful Knight, a Knight with power that was unmatched,"
Her eyes grew with sorrow, as if the past actually hurt her deeply.
 
"Most of the Knights rallied against him, he did have his faithful though, but
they were to no avail. They slew this powerful Knight, out of rage of the
order he tried to place. They slew his faithful and followers as well." Jesse
looked more than ashamed of their kind now. She looked as if, she wished it
never happened.
 
Marcus sat in silence. He already had a good idea of who this "powerful"
Knight was. His head was reeling with possibilities, that is, if she said what
he thought she would. Marcus no longer felt tired, he felt excitement.
 
"What they did not know, was that he kept a journal. He knew of our kind's big
uprising and planned for it. He had a son that no one knew of, how he kept it
a secret, no one knows. But the fact is that he sent his son away for his
safety. He placed his smoked crystal, with the golden claw attached, necklace
around the boy's neck. So that one day, he would find out his rightful nature
and were he was from, and he would bring order back to The Zone." She said,
looking at Marcus with kind eyes.
 
"And this powerful Knight's name was Dakrin?" Marcus asked, so much was coming
clear in his mind now.
 
"Yes, and you are the Son of Dakrin, Lord Marcus." She said in a low and
sincere voice.
 
"Why do you call me 'Lord Marcus'?" He asked, very puzzled.
 
"It is prophecy that you reclaim leadership of The Zone. It is prophecy that
you become the master of our people just as your father before you." She said
this with a bowed head and a low voice.
 
"You are telling me that I am destined for power, when you know, for a fact,
that I am not ready." Marcus said in a very low voice. It felt like the weight
of the world was just sat on his shoulders.
 
"You will train, and if you wish, I will continue to help you. If my feeling
is right, your telekinetic power will grow faster than that of a normal
Knight." She said with a somewhat flirtatious smile.
 
"You should know above all, that you and I would not compare with the entire
Zone by ourselves." Marcus said with a slight frown, the prospect of this much
power both excited him and frightened him. He was confused.
 
Jesse then gave a coy smile. "There our those who would help us. My brother
Shain is one of them." She said smiling with sincerity. She knew that he was
warming to the idea.
 
"You never told me you had a brother." Marcus said with a look of confusion.
 
"Yes, he lives in New Orleans. Shain has created his own version of Shadow
Zone, based on the old beliefs. The last time I heard from him, there were
seventeen in his group. That was two years ago. They consist of rogues and
outcasts, the Zone would not except. Most don't have our blonde hair and blue
eyes." She said, her face beamed from the thought of seeing her brother again.
 
"Why didn't you go to your brother a long time ago?" Marcus asked with a
curious expression.
 
"He told me not to try and leave the Zone until I was strong enough. I had
just gained the courage a few days before we met." Jesse said with a light
smile that looked good on her.
 
"Do you think that he would let me into this little group"
 
"Are you kidding? You're the Son of Dakrin. Dakrin has been his childhood hero
ever since I can remember. Plus, he would have everything to gain by helping
you train, to help take the Zone down and rebuild it." She said with an
incredulous look.
 
"If I left for New Orleans, then that would mean that I would have to leave my
family..." Marcus said, his mind was already made up, but the thought of
leaving Kathy and Mouse behind troubled him greatly. He loved them terribly.
 
"Lord Marcus, we would only be gone for a little over a year. That should be
plenty time to build your telekinesis. After that, you can send for your
woman, she will come if she wants." Jesse said this with an almost apologetic
look.
 
"Could you not call me Lord, it just don't seem right." Marcus said with a
feigned smile.
 
Marcus felt like his thoughts were in a hurricane. He knew what he had to do.
He knew that it was how it was supposed to be, and that it was right. But the
situation strained his mind and emotions. It felt as if the world threw him
one hell of a curve ball.
 
"As you wish.... Marcus. You look tense. I know all of this must be hell on
the mind. But you will grow used to this knew power over time. But until you
do, is there something I can do to relax you?" She asked a she sat on Marcus'
lap.
 
Feeling Jesse's shapely ass pressing against his crotch made his male member
spring to attention. "I'm sure I could think of something." Marcus said as
Jesse leaned in for a kiss.
 
Her tongue invaded his mouth as she wiggled her ass to make him even hotter.
After the hot kiss, Jesse stood up and rapidly undressed. to Marcus' surprise,
he found that she was completely naked under her jeans and shirt. He quickly
followed suit and got undressed. When he was fully undressed, Jesse just
pushed him back in his seat.
 
She then straddled him, wrapping her legs around the back of the chair and his
back. "OOOOHHHHH MY!" She moaned out, as she felt his hard cock slip into her
wet womanhood. She Moved slowly at first but started to pick up speed.
 
Marcus then grabbed her hips and pulled her up and down. She would moan loudly
on each decent. Marcus could tell that she was very close to cumming by the
way she was shaking and the flushed color of her beautiful breasts. He sucked
the nipple of each breast when she came down, after he pulled her up.
 
"OOOOHHHHH FUCK! MARCUS! FUCK!" She screamed out as the orgasm hit her. It was
a very powerful one, and her body shook violently. She clawed at the back of
Marcus' neck in the heat of passion, but Marcus hardly noticed, do to his own
pleasure.
 
Finally the moment came when he just let loose. He shot his seed deep. The
feel of Marcus' cum shooting into her, sent her off into another mind blowing
orgasm. Shaking violently, then laying completely still. Passed out from to
much pleasure.
 
Marcus was a little exhausted himself, but he did have enough strength to pick
this beautiful creature up and lay her on his bed. Afterwards, he looked at
this sleeping beauty and for the first time, he realized that he was in love
with her. This love even matched the one with Mouse. Jesse would most likely
follow him anywhere, but what she did not realize, was that Marcus would do
the same for her.
 
Marcus thought of the things she had said, he thought of the responsibility of
it all. He was not used to such power. But deep down, he knew it was the right
thing to do, to go to New Orleans that is. He just did not know how he would
tell Mouse good bye. Even the thought of it brought him close to tears.
 
Marcus also thought of Dakrin. If he practiced, would he become just as
powerful? Or maybe more powerful? Jesse seemed think so. He thought of Jesse's
brother in New Orleans. If he was the leader of his own Shadow Zone, how
powerful was he? Marcus pushed aside these thoughts and told himself, that the
future would tell.
