Marcus' Power
 
Chapter 5
 
Friday could not come soon enough for Marcus. By nature, Marcus was
usually not an impatient kid, but this situation fell under special
circumstances. Jesse's words rolled around in his head. She had told
him that he just knew the basics. So, needless to say, Marcus was
wondering what REAL power was.
 
Marcus stood outside of the school, looking like a patient boy. But on
the inside, he couldn't wait for the training to start. Jesse had said
they were to go back to the mall and find people to practice their
skills on. Well, he would practice, she would teach. Marcus stood and
watched as Mouse came out.
 
"Hey, ugly. Where is Jesse?" She asked as she walked up.
 
"She should be out shortly, the teacher wanted to talk to his NEW
student. Listen, Mouse..." Marcus really didn't know how to say what he
wanted to, so he just blurted it out. "Jesse has the same abilities I
do. More even." The look of surprise was apparent on Mouse's face.
 
"That's why you brought her home. Aren't you afraid that she will use
them on me or Mom?!" Mouse asked this in a harsh but low voice.
 
"She gave me her word that she would not." Marcus said, in that same
low and calm voice that Mouse was used to.
 
"You believe her?" She asked, with a look of disbelief.
 
"Jesse gave me her word; or I believe her. Don't you trust my judgment?"
 
"What do you think, you numbskull." Mouse said with a look of sadness
on her face. That look said that she trusted him, but still did not
like the idea.
 
"Mouse, Jesse and I are going to the mall. She said that she is going
to show me what I'm REALLY capable of," Marcus said this with somewhat
of a sad look on his face. Mouse was pretty sure she knew why it was
there, but tried anyway.
 
"Good, I'd like to go to the mall."
 
"Mouse, Jesse said that she and I should go alone. I'm sorry, I would
like you to go too, but if she wants to teach me alone, then that's how
it is." He said this in a low and sad voice. Mouse knew him well
enough, that she knew he had asked Jesse if she could come.
 
"Will you at least tell me what you learn today? It's interesting to me
too, you know."
 
"Of course I will. How could I keep anything from my angel?" He would
have leaned in and kissed her, but was afraid of what people might
think. So instead, even though the sunlight irritated his eyes, he
lowered his shades and gave her a wink.
 
For some reason, Mouse blushed. Marcus passed it off to her not being
used to such flirtation. Well, flirtation that he really meant. Then he
turned and saw Jesse walk out of the school doors. She was not dressed
like Marcus was, in all black. She had to borrow some of Mouse's
clothes since she brought none with her when she left the Zone.
 
Jesse walked up to him quietly, not speaking until she was a few feet
away from him. Marcus noted that she was not like most teenage girls,
most of them would have waved, smiled, or even shouted out. Jesse
merely walked up to him with her head bowed and her hands in her
pockets, as if in deep thought.
 
"Is my student ready for his lessons?" She said this with a coy smile
that Mouse did not much care for.
 
"Ready, and willing." Marcus said, with a smile of confidence that was
not really his style. He was trying to hide his emotions and both girls
knew it.
 
"Mouse, I'm sorry I told Marcus that you could not come, but teaching
the ways of Shadow is hard. He likes you a lot and you would cause
distraction." Jesse said, her face was adorned with an apologetic look.
 
"It's OK, just as long as I get him back when you're though with him."
She said with a coyness that sort of made Marcus' groin stir.
 
Jesse just gave a knowing smile and started off towards the mall,
motioning Marcus to follow. "I'll see you when we get back. Until then,
why don't you go to Jenny's." Marcus said, then started off behind
Jesse.
 
When he caught up with Jesse, neither said a word. Marcus guessed that
she was thinking about what to show him. He did not much care for her
silence. He smiled to himself, Marcus now knew how Mouse and Kathy felt
about his silence. They walked side by side without stopping until they
reached the mall.
 
Once they arrived, Jesse abruptly stopped and turned to Marcus. "This
part of your training can be a little draining, on most novices. We
will do a little, then stop. Then later, do a little more. Remember,
Rome wasn't built in a day." She said with a teacher's tone.
 
"What am I going to learn?" Marcus asked, his face full of curiosity.
 
"The abilities you have learned so far are basic. You already know a
little about controlling emotions, but you only intensify the emotion
that is already there. I'm going to teach you how to implant new
emotion." She said, awaiting his reply.
 
"That does not sound too difficult."
 
"Then, if you're up to it, I'll teach you how to erase memories and
implant new ones." She said this with a look of challenge.
 
That last one did sound a little difficult to Marcus. "OK, Ms. Budroux,
lead the way." Marcus said, feigning confidence.
 
As they started to walk in the mall Jesse said "You will have to pick a
subject to test your skills on. When you pick one, we will take, he or
she, to a secluded area of the mall. Make your choice wisely, pick one
that came here alone."
 
"So, you want me to probe their thoughts, to make sure they are alone?"
 
"Exactly."
 
"Alright, I'll give it a shot." Marcus said and then began to search
for his subject.
 
Jesse and Marcus walked all through the mall for about an hour looking
for someone that was alone. Marcus was beginning to lose hope of
finding anyone and some of the people that he probed, had thoughts that
actually shocked him. They searched and searched, finally they came
across a girl that was about the age of Mouse.
 
She looked fit, her leg muscles were very toned, like that of a soccer
player. But the probe Marcus did, told him that she was a gymnast. Her
name was Kasey Jones. She was here by sheer luck. This was the first
time that her parents let her come to the mall by herself. Her parents
were very old fashioned, and, from what Marcus could tell, strict.
 
Kasey was wearing a pair of loose shorts and a white and blue Dallas
Cowboys football jersey, the jersey was about three sizes too big for
her. She had short dirty blonde hair that was styled. Marcus thought
that she was as cute as a button, he also thought that he had struck
gold with her.
 
"I choose her, the one in the jersey. Her name is Kasey Jones." Marcus
said, pointing at the girl. She was standing in the mall store, Foot
Locker.
 
"OK, good choice. Call out to her telepathically, make her follow us to
the back of the store. I'll monitor this, to see how well you do."
Jesse said, then started for the back of the store.
 
'FOLLOW ME, DON'T QUESTION YOURSELF ABOUT IT' Marcus' command rang out
to Kasey telepathically. Marcus knew that it worked, when she turned
toward him, then advanced.
 
Marcus then started to follow Jesse's path to the back of the store.
They came to a door that said "JANITOR". The door was locked, but Jesse
focused and Marcus heard the lock slip free. Kasey was behind them
about twenty paces. She had a strange look of curiosity on her face, as
if she was discovering something new.
 
Marcus and Jesse walked into the room. It was not a very big room, but
it was not that small either. They saw what a person would normally see
in a janitor's room. Mops, brooms and buckets, things of that sort. It
took a few moments for Kasey to arrive. She walked into the room, her
bright green eyes beaming with curiosity.
 
*>'Lock her mind, so that she can't move. It will make it easier'<*
Jesse told Marcus with thought alone.
 
Marcus did this, when Kasey was all the way in the room, and the door
was shut. Marcus found that locking the girl's mind was incredibly
easy. After her mind was locked, Kasey's look of curiosity turned to
one of fear. Marcus felt a little guilty for that. Jesse could tell by
the look on his face that he felt guilty.
 
"If you feel guilty, why don't you take away the fear? I'll watch, just
to see how easy it is for you." Jesse said with that same look of
challenge.
 
"How do you want me to achieve this little goal?"
 
"Go into her mind, look at her thoughts, look at the fear she has of
the situation and of us, then delete it." She said this with a coyness
that Marcus thought was cute.
 
Marcus just nodded in agreement. He then closed his eyes, focused hard,
and dove into Kasey's mind. He saw that she was more than frightened,
she was terrified. He looked around inside her thoughts a little more.
For some reason, he wanted to know more about this girl. He found that
her parents did not let her date, she did not have that many friends. A
deeper scan revealed the fact that her father beat her almost evry week.
 
Basically this girl was pretty depressed. Marcus went back to the fear
at hand, took the emotion and replaced it with one of happiness. He
made it so she liked being where she was at the moment, and she liked
being with Marcus. It was as if Marcus could grab the emotion, as if it
had a physical body, and mold it to his liking. Marcus then opened his
eyes, and released the mind lock had placed on her.
 
Kasey's facial expression had changed for the better, so Marcus took it
that he had done the task right. Instead of fear, a slight smile and a
look of contentment was now on her face. "What's your name?" She asked,
taking a step closer to Marcus.
 
"My name is Marcus."
 
"My name is Kasey. Why are you in the Janitor's room?"
 
*<'Lock her mind again'>* Jesse's thought went out to Marcus silently.
 
Marcus complied. "Now what shall I do, O' wise one?" Marcus said,
mocking Jesse, but he had a smile. Kasey was not scared of the mind
lock this time.
 
"I'm impressed! You molded her thoughts rather easily. It was harder
than hell for me to do the first time." Jesse said with an approving
look.
 
"Thanks. What's next?"
 
"That didn't make your mind tired?" Jesse asked with a puzzled look.
She was sure that it would make him mentally drained, as it did her,
when she did it.
 
"Not in the least. Should it have?" Marcus asked, he was feeling a
little bit of pride in himself just then.
 
"It usually does, I don't get it." Jesse said, her voice was that of a
confused person.
 
"Well, we will talk on that later. For now, what's next?" Marcus asked,
wanting to try something new.
 
"I guess we could try to create a new memory. That's a little advanced
though...." She said, trailing off.
 
"How do I do that?"
 
"You have to look for a blank spot in the mind, then just use your
imagination on what you want to put there. I'll watch." She said as she
leaned against the wall.
 
"What type of memory do you think I should put," Marcus asked. He had a
feeling this was going to be a little more difficult.
 
"The hardest is one of love, where YOU are her true love. If you use
that one, you have to fill in the details. Like, why she loves you, how
she should love you, should she be jealous of other women, things like
that. It's easy to mess up in this area.... But don't worry, if you
mess her up, I'll fix it afterwards." Jesse added that last part with a
smile of vanity.
 
Marcus knew that Jesse told him the hardest emotion to create, just to
challenge him. She wanted him to fall, so she could pick him up. Jesse
wanted him to make a mistake, so the teacher could correct the student.
Well, her goading worked, Marcus was determined to impress the hell out
of her.
 
He dove into Kasey's mind and found a blank spot. He then focused all
his energy and power as hard as he possibly could. He then shot the
memory of love into her mind. He kept sending it for almost five
minutes before he let up, then he started the details. He felt pretty
wicked doing what he did next.
 
Marcus made it so that he was the only boy that she would ever love,
and love him she would, with all her being. He added memory details of
make her believe he was the sexiest boy alive, and that she was always
mildly aroused when he was near. He also put in the detail that she
would never betray him, that she would do anything to please him, and
she would obey.... He had no idea that had just made a slave.
 
Before he left her mind, he added one more detail, just to see if it
would work. Marcus made it so that if he tweaked one of her nipples,
Kasey would become highly aroused. He did all of this, with all of his
strength. When he pulled out, he felt mentally drained and a little
dizzy. He had used every bit of the power he had on this girl.
 
The dizziness in his head started to go away after a few moments,
though. He released the mind lock on Kasey. Her face was immediately
filled with a radiant smile when she looked at Marcus, along with very
flirtatious eyes. Even with the jersey on, Marcus could see that her
nipples had hardened. He still did not know what he had done, though.
 
"Stay still, and don't say anything yet," Marcus told her, when she
moved towards him. "Would you care to check my work?" He asked Jesse
with a smile.
 
Jesse nodded and closed her eyes, behind her mirror plated shades, and
dove into Kasey's mind. She was there for a good three minutes, before
she removed her telepathic probe. She then just looked at Marcus. There
was no expression on her face, no emotion whatsoever. Then, when she
did speak, Marcus did not care for what she had to say.
 
"Do you have any clue as to what you just did?" She said this with a
serious voice.
 
"What you told me to do," Marcus said, his voice was a bit testy.
 
"You burned that emotion in her head with such force that I can't fix
it! The High Council of Shadow Zone could not have done a more
permanent implant!" Her voice was harsh but low. That made Marcus know
there was something else....
 
Marcus looked at her with curious eyes "She can not leave your side for
more than a few days at a time, if she does she will begin to go mad.
She will still have her likes and dislikes, but her world will revolve
around YOU. You burned the emotion so deep, she worships you, like one
would a GOD." Jesse's voice had calmed somewhat, but her words sent
Marcus' thoughts into a turbulent spin.
 
"Oh, shit.... What have I done? Oh, FUCK!" Marcus said in a low and
very harsh voice. He could not believe he could be that stupid, that
dense. He was suddenly aware of dangers he was capable of, and he felt
alone.
 
Jesse seen the color drain from Marcus' face, she suddenly felt sorry
that she snapped at him. "Look, maybe it's not that bad. Most Shadow
Knights do have followers, ones that cater to there every need. I've
had a few in my time.... I just got a little mad that you did it to
show off. I know you did not mean it. We can work through this though."
She said with a calm and soothing voice.
 
"You have had slaves?" Marcus asked, her words had soothed him a
little, just a little.
 
"Yes, but I set their mind free when I left, or ran, depends on how you
look at it.... Look, I'll go to her parent's house tonight and CONVINCE
them that she has to move in with you. You on the other hand will have
to CONVINCE Kathy to let her stay, and believe me when I say, there are
pleasures in having a follower..." Jesse said, she had a sultry look to
her when she said it.
 
"I should have thought before I acted, what I did is SO unlike me,"
Marcus stated, then turned to Kasey, she had tears in her eyes. This
sort of alarmed Marcus. "You may speak, what's wrong?"
 
"You don't really want me?" She asked, tears rolling down her cheek.
 
"Yes, I want you, If I didn't, do you think that I would have picked
you?" Marcus asked, with a slight smile.
 
This made the flow of tears stop in Kasey's eyes. "So, I get to go home
with you? I can stay with you?" She asked this with an expectant look,
it sort of turned Marcus on to have someone want him so much. He was
growing on the idea of having a "follower".
 
"Yes, you will stay with me." Marcus said with a coy smile.
 
Kasey had no words, she just ran at Marcus, through her arms around
him, and planted her supple lips to his. Her tongue invade his mouth,
the white hot passion of this girl had made his cock as hard as iron.
She could feel this press against her and she moaned in his mouth. She
was rubbing her thigh against his hardened member.
 
Marcus rubbed her slender sides, then moved his hand up to her right
breast, he squeezed it gently. Marcus then pinched at the nipple. They
were still French kissing, and she moaned loudly inside his mouth.
Marcus knew that she would do that, since he had set it up in her mind
to do so. He then broke the kiss and stepped back.
 
"Don't mind me, I rather enjoy watching." Jesse said with a impish
smile.
 
Marcus smiled, then looked at his faithful follower. "Would you take
off your clothes for me, Kasey?" He asked this, knowing that she would
comply. Even though she was HIS follower, he still did not feel right
giving direct orders.
 
"Yes, I'd love to!" She said, looking a little flushed. She grabbed the
hem of the large jersey and pulled it over her head, revealing a white
lacy bra. She reached in the front and undid the clasp to set the
hard-nipped breasts free. They were quite a sight, such a sight that
Marcus took a quick intake of air.
 
Kasey saw his reaction and was proud that she had pleased her man. She
did not think of herself as a slave, she felt she was there of her own
free will. Kasey then slid her shorts and panties down in one swift
motion, over her tanned and very toned legs. Her womanly aroma filled
the air.
 
Marcus looked on her with lustful eyes. "Now, would you like me to
undress you?" She asked this with a husky voice.
 
"By all means..." Marcus replied, he had a look of feigned boyish
innocence.
 
Kasey ran over to him and dropped to her knees, she then proceeded to
unbutton his jeans and pull them down to his ankles. The boxers he was
wearing, came down with the jeans. His cock flopped out and brushed
against her face. Kasey looked up at him with a devilish grin, then
sucked his hardened cock to the back of her throat.
 
Marcus knew that he could not hold out long, not with the vacuum action
Kasey was giving him. His breathing was getting pretty shallow and his
hips began to sway back and forth. He held his breath as his leg
muscles tensed and he blew his seed into his faithful follower. But she
did not stop there. She continued her fantastic technique of sucking,
this to keep her man happy and hard.
 
After Marcus was got quite aroused again, he laid down on his back and
gazed up at Kasey with an expectant face. She knelt down and straddled
his hips, grabbing hold of his male member. At first she just gently
rubbed it against the wetness of her slit, whimpering with pleasure the
whole time.
 
"OOOHHHH" Kasey moaned with a mixture of pleasure and pain, from having
her virginity taken. She rocked faster and faster atop Marcus. The
sensations she was giving Marcus made his head spin. She was a lot
tighter than Mouse. In the heat of the moment, Kasey reached down and
ripped Marcus' shirt open, just as Mouse once did. Kasey did this
because she wanted to see her man's muscular chest.
 
Marcus' attention was focused so much on Kasey that he forgot about
Jesse, That was until he saw her standing above his face, fully naked.
She was biting at her bottom lip and she was very flushed. Marcus
guessed that she wanted to do more than "watch".
 
"Would you mind?" She asked, without waiting for an answer she knelt
down and placed her dripping pussy onto Marcus' face. Marcus wasted no
time in snaking out his tongue into her wet hole. "MMMM" She groaned.
 
The lovely Kasey had just started her orgasm on top of him. "OOOHHHH
SHIT!" She screamed, while she bucked wildly. Marcus was close himself,
but he wanted his lovely friend Jesse, to cum as well. So he sucked
hard on her clit and she let out an ear piercing scream, Marcus could
feel her thighs jerk and spasm against his face.
 
That was all it took. he let his seed loose once again, grunting
loudly. Kasey had one last mind blowing orgasm and then rolled off of
him exhausted. Jesse fell forward on him, and laid there very still,
with her head against his washboard stomach. They all lay exhausted and
quiet for a few minutes.
 
Then Jesse rolled off and stood up. She fetched her clothes, slipped
them on, all the while with a content smile. Marcus followed her suit.
He stood up and pulled up his jeans. He would have buttoned his shirt,
but his little "follower", made all the buttons fly off. So, he had to
leave his upper body muscle exposed, along with the smoked crystal
necklace, that he always wore. It swung freely as he stood up.
 
Jesse just happened to glance his way, and saw the necklace. At first
she did not think anything of it. Then she did a double take. She just
stood there staring at it, her beautiful face had grown pale, and if
her eyes were visable, they would be filled with shock. It was a little
discerning for Marcus to see her stare at him like that.
 
"Jesse, what's wrong?"
 
No answer.
 
"Jesse, what's wrong?" He repeated, but it was still to no avail; she
did not answer.
 
"Jesse-" He started but was cut off.
 
"Son Of Dakrin, Y-Y-You're the Son of Dakrin. YOU'RE THE SON OF
DAKRIN!" She almost screamed.
 
She was starting to make Marcus more than nervous. "I can't believe
it..... The Son Of Dakrin." She said again in a soft whisper.
 
"Who is Dakrin?!" Marcus asked rather loudly
 
"He's...." She did not finish, she trailed off in deep thought.
