Bound To You: Marcus Volturi

Chapter 58: Liest Or Maybe Priam Sounds Better

Ship names. They're so difficult to create. Like Marcus and Didyme's ship name would have been Maryme. Which could have been pronounced as Marry Me, the sweetest thing.
As for Aro and Sulpicia, they could be Arpicia, but that sounds like a hair condition.

But Marcus and I, what would our ship name be? Maybe it could be Marlee. That's cute.
I don't know why I'm talking about ship names. Maybe it's because of all these relationships going on.

I'm hoping Liam and Priest will get together. I mean, a one night stand isn't the beginning of a relationship for everyone, but for Liam, maybe it is. Typical sex God.

I'm still giggling over Caius's comment about how he turned Liam bisexual.
How can he be so confident? I guess Athenadora as his wife is a pretty big compliment because of how beautiful she is.

Not that looks matter.
After coming back from the tower, Liam's door is open and I guess that means his little fuck-fest with Priest has finished. I waltz into his room to find the sheets changed and bed made, with him lying on top fully dressed.

Liam's plugged into his IPod and has a smug look across his face when he sees me. "Howdy." He smiles, pulling out a earbud.
"Why did you change the sheets?" Is all I can come out with. He smirks. "Priest wanted them. As a souvenir." He teases.

"This shouldn't have been a one night stand. Liam, you need to stop. You need to settle." I demand. "I'm eighteen, Lee." He protests. "And I'm nineteen, and I'm married." I shoot back. "It's not that easy, Lee." He snaps.

"How? Do you have commitment issues? Are you going to dig up an old tragic story from your past?" I sneer and as cruel as it is, I see a reaction coming from him. "You do not want to piss me off, Lee." He warns carefully, his anger beginning to rise.

"Tell me Liam, why are you so broken? Is it your upbringing? I'm sure living in a prison fucked you up pretty good right?" I circle the bed, noticing in pleasure and guilt that the hairs on his neck are sticking up. 

"Stop....it." He grunts through gritted teeth. "What are you going to do, Liam? Are you going to kill me? Hmm?" I taunt and he unplugs his IPod and snarls at me.
"I can kill you. Nice and easy." He warns, eyes wide. "Oh I know!" I turn to him, smiling bitterly.

"I forgot you can kill people, Liam the assassin." I hiss the last word in his ear and he tenses, pissed to the max.
"How did you find out about that? Oh of course, my file!" He hisses.

Bit random, but I'm pretty sure he's bipolar.

Anyway.....

"Tell me, Liam. Why are you so fucked up? Why do you use sex as a gap to fill? Why can't you love people properly?" I press as I put my devious plan to action.

I'll piss Liam off enough for him to get angry but not too angry in case he goes crazy again, mentally. But angry enough that Priest will come and calm him down, and as cheesy as it sounds, Liam will realise how much he needs Priest and how good they could be together.

On the other hand, there's still quite a risk as he could end up breaking my ribs again....oh well....c'est la vie!

"My father was a brute." He starts. "Or so I'm told. My mother killed him. That's the thing. You can't trust no one. They could turn and be violent to you. They could corrupt you. They could abuse you, turn you into something you're not. Don't you understand Lee?" He turns to me, his eyes desperate instead of angry.

I give a small nod so he goes on. "I can't risk it. What if something snapped inside their minds? What if they become drug addicts and gave their addictions to their partners? What if I get abused? Not only will I have to put up with all that shit but I'll lose the one I love." He hunches up small on his bed, his knees to his chest.

"What if we had children? They'll experience and witness that destruction and it'll make them fucked up." He spits.

"You're afraid." I whisper. "You're afraid family life and relationships will change you, kill you, like it killed your parents." I sigh softly. He nods and looks me straight in the face.

"Who knows? It might be the other way around. I could be the abuser. Something could turn me into my father. I don't want that, Lee. I don't want to end up like them." His tears finally fall and he seems at ease with them, welcoming them.

It eventually evolves into sobbing. Broken little boy tears, streaming down his face.

Randomly, Priest steps into the room. Liam's head snaps up and Priest smiles. "There now." He says comfortingly. He goes to his side and sighs at Liam's smudged eyeliner running down his face.
"You look like a goth." He teases then disappears into the bathroom for some tissues.

Once he's back, he gently runs the wet wad of toilet roll over his face and delicately around his eyes. Liam keeps completely still, staring straight ahead, avoiding eye contact with both of us.

"How did this happen?" Priest asks me. I sigh. "I pressed him too hard."
Priest glances at me. "Of course you did. You always do." He smiles. Then he looks at my distraught face and then adds "Oh well, at least he didn't break your nose again like last time." Which makes me smile.

"Now, Liam," He says, turning his attention back to him. Liam looks up at the sound of his name. "Yes?" He croaks.
Priest smiles at Liam's dazed face. "Everything's going to be ok. Do you understand? I'm going to stay with you, right here." His arm slips around him and Liam's head relaxes on Priest's shoulder.

"Stay." Liam repeats. "You'll stay with me?" He checks.
"Of course," Priest promises, hushing him. "I'll always be here, to bring you back from the darkness." And as soon as Priest says that, Liam's eyes are transfixed on his face.

I stand back and smile, knowing right there as cruel and devious as that plan was, it worked and Liam is finally realising what's in front of him. The man of his dreams. And even better, I didn't get punched in the face this time. So it's a win-win.

A/N: Hey guys, how we all doing? So, do you think Lee should have taunted Liam like that? It got the truth out of him, and the plan to get Liam even more interested in Priest worked. But do you think she should have gone about it in a different way? Either way, there looks like there'll be a happy ending so that's a good thing.
