Malcontent
Malcontent lunatic fringe /1586603 The most important figure in a boy’s life is his father. Malachai Parker wanted nothing more than anything to make his father proud of him. Joshua Parker was the leader of one of the most powerful covens in the supernatural world. Witches from all around sought his counsel. He carried weight with other covens in what he said and did. If Joshua only acknowledged the fact Kai was his son and fulfilled the image that his father conveyed to the other covens things would have been so different.
The rite of passage for the coven was the merge ceremony for twins in the Parker Family to ascend to the leadership. He and his twin sister Josette were being groomed for this to happen one day. One of the two of them would win, the other would not. Josette was the golden child. She was a witch growing in power as she grew in age.
Malachai or Kai as he liked being called was not the prodigy his sister was. He was the bad seed. Simple magic was hard for him. It wasn’t until he grabbed her arm with a vicious intensity and watched his hand glow red that he realized what he was. Jo dropped to the ground severely weakened by what he’d done to her. Kai was a magic siphon. He possessed none of his own.
You’re an abomination! Even the babies have magic of their own. Our coven will never be led by you!
The constant rejection and the treatment by his father led to this day. Being told repeatedly that you were a mistake or a monster infected him far deeper than anything ever could. One day it was finally enough. Malachai Parker stood there saturated with blood. The knife in his hand still was coated with the blood of his siblings. A solitary drop raced from the tang of the blade down his right hand as he clenched it. The blade had slipped in his hand slicing his palm in the process. His blood was intermingled with that of his dead siblings. Twins in the Parker family meant power. His younger siblings that he’d slaughtered like pigs weren’t twins. They had their own magic unlike him. Kai was a siphon. He wasn’t a real witch. Even his twin sister Jo had her own magic. That’s why they had to die.
“Luke… Livie… come out come out wherever you are… Big bro wants to playyyy…” Solo steps moved forward as he sought the littlest Parkers who would one day lead the entire coven. He had no idea that his own twin was hiding the babies. The years of hatred and anger finally came to a violent bloody head. He wasn’t going to stop until they were all gone. “LUKE! OLIVIA! JOSETTE YOU BETTER NOT BE KEEPING THEM FROM ME!”
Hiding under the bed, Josette was bleeding from the stab wound in her lower abdomen was clinging desperately to the tiny children barely out of their toddler years. Tears burned down her cheeks as she muttered a silent chant trying to hide the three of them from Kai. Surely someone would come save them soon! Using too much magic would bring Kai right to them. Josette was scared out of her mind.
“Oh JoJo. You’re good but you’re not THAT good!” Kai was closing in on his victims. The aura of his twin's magic was unmistakable. He found it utterly delicious. Honing in on them, the young warlock tossed aside the bed that hid them. Jo held onto the twins cowering in the corner. Her physical strength was rapidly dwindling. She closed her eyes waiting for the final blow.
Kai stepped forward. “Aren’t you just so precious! Trying to save the babies with your last breath! I’ll remember ya for this Sis.” He ignored the pulsing blood in his right hand as he brought the knife around to bear. He was so bound by the pure evil inside that he was practically drunk by the power that emanated from his twin sister and their baby siblings. He rose the knife already stained with the blood of their dead siblings.
“Et fulgurare lumine!” A flash of light temporarily blinded the young warlock as he went in for the kill. He dropped the knife and immediately covered his eyes. He cried out even as the force of the flash physically hurt his eyes stinging them. The voice of the one casting the spell was female. Jo was so happy to see their Father’s friend Sheila Bennett. “Come here babies!” The grandmotherly type witch opened her arms for Luke and Olivia.
“NO! YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO ME!” Kai was furious. He still couldn’t see. It was a spell that had momentarily blinded him. His blood covered hands moved to his eyes. He was trying to siphon the magic from the spell but something wasn’t working. Pure unadulterated guile poured from this young man that was driven by his profound hatred of his family. He knew Sheila Bennett. She was a friend of his father’s who often worked with the Gemini Coven. Every witch knew that the Bennett Family was a powerful witch bloodline.
“I can and I will. Nervorum resolutiones!” Sheila held out her hand casting another spell that sent the young man frozen to the ground. She hated to see this young man so twisted by his anger and hate. There was nothing more heartbreaking than a witch succumbing to the evil that existed in the world.
The last thing the young man remembered was the face of his twin sister looking down at him while he lay there unmoving. He wanted nothing more to pull out his knife and slice Josette to ribbons. Payback was going to be hell no matter how long it took. They were going to pay. It didn’t matter how long it took. They were all going to die at his hand.
The Prison World
He never believed in hell before until now. Kai had been in this empty world for longer than he could count. He had been through every spot on this planet that it wasn’t even an adventure anymore. One thing that Sheila or his father could have never imagined was that he would take the time to read all the occult lore he could get his hands on while locked in this damned place.
Being the only occupant of this world pulled on one's sanity ripping apart that sensitive fabric that held it together. Kai Parker was an abomination. He was a monster. He had an agenda. No matter how many times he had to relive this day he was going to make the best of it. Some day he would get out of here. The first one who would die was his twin.
If only he could find some magic… Who names their kid Malachai? It’s like they expected me to be evil.
