The Messiah in Black

Chapter One

William’s POV:

     How things change in a bloody second, oh I’m William and this is my story, ever wondered how it feels like to be worshiped as a god, I guess not but I’m gonna tell you a bit about my experience so we’ll start from the very beginning.

     I was born with healing powers, the moment my mother gave birth to me the doctors saw me like an angelic being, it’s actually what people normally see when they see me, a being glowing with divine light, I call it the glow.

The Doctors where pleased when they saw me, you know that feeling of relief like a weight has been lifted, yeah that’s how they felt, that’s the effect of the glow it makes you feel ease and happy.

Anyways, the church came to my mother, my father died before I was born, they came to my mother telling her that I was part of a prophecy, which was the return of a Messiah coming to save his people.

I was just a baby when my mother handed me over to the church, I don’t know why she did that but she did, I grew up in the church and performed miracles, I healed the sick and raised the dead, everyone was amazed with my power, they all treated me like I was some kind of god.

But to be honest I wanted something more, I felt like I didn’t belong there so when I was twelve I ran away to forge my own path and today am a rich ass billionaire using his powers for money.

Yeah yeah, you’ll say I’m selfish and so what, you’ll be surprised what being in the religious business can get you, I became quite popular and I healed people and raised the dead all for a small f*e of course I’m not too greedy, people from around the world came to me as I’m known as The Messiah.

I’m more popular than anyone in social media as I have a wide range of influence both online and offline, the bloody church tried to stop me but they’ve failed on every attempt, everything was going well until one bloody day something strange happened.

It was August 26th 2025, I was 25 years of age then, I justed finished my healing service for the day when a woman rushed into my Healing Sanctuary and begged me to raise her brother from the dead, he just died of a drug overdose.

“Sounds like someone who’s suicidal”

I said and she cried and said

“No it’s not like that, he took the wrong prescription by accident”

“Oh bloody hell” I whispered to myself and then I came closer to her and said softly

“You can stop crying now, I’ll help you, it’s gonna be alright”

She stopped crying as I stood up and I looked at her dead brother and extended my hand forward towards him, I said a prayer then I felt a pulse of energy flowing right inside of me.

Normally that’s how it works although the prayer was just for dramatic effect but when I finally reached his soul I felt uneasy, it was as if his soul was tied to some darker forces, I couldn’t quite get a hold of it but I forced my way in and grabbed his soul from the grip of death and pulled it back into his body.

I healed his body so his soul can settle in bringing him back to life, he opened his eyes as I bled from the nose, I quickly used my hand to wipe off the blood before anyone could notice, his sister hugged him as she was filled with joy.

She then hugged me after giving her brother a long hug

“Thank you so much!”

She said with all her energy, I just smiled and said

“It’s nothing I’m just doing the work of God”

She then stopped hugging me and asked with a sad face

“Oh how much do we owe you?”

I looked at the both of them and said

“Oh don’t worry about it, you just owe me your names”

She was surprised that I didn’t even collect any money from them just their names,

“Oh my name is Grace Martin and he’s name is Luther Martin”

She said as I gave her brother a look and then I said

“No problem then, Grace and Luther Martin, may the Lord be with you, you’re free to go have a good day”

The both of them were happy as they bowed before me and left, it wasn’t necessary but they did it anyway.

Of course they didn’t know about the pulling and yanking of souls from the afterlife that happens in the spiritual realm, only I experienced it but in the physical realm it was just me extending my hand, a glowing light appears and he was resurrected.

The strange thing was that I bled from the nose and I never felt uneasy when resurrecting someone but he’s was different I didn’t expect this to happen and now it got me worried.

I have mastered my powers and learnt how to control the glow, I was able to take it off so I’ll be able to have a me time.

I can go into the street without my glow and no one will know who I am, they won’t know am the Messiah, just a billionaire playboy philanthropist.

I took off my glow, put on my black suit and shades and drove my Lamborghini Aventador into the street, I needed fresh air and a break from the healing sanctuary and I needed to know what happened with Luther Martin’s Soul and why resurrecting him made me felt uneasy.

I drove to a bar, oh it’s my bar and parked my car in the parking lot and as I was making my way to the bar, a black van stopped in front of me and some men in black came outta it and forcefully took me into the van and drove off.

Moments later, someone took off the hood they put on my head and I looked around only to find myself in a basement with my kidnappers.

“Lemme guess you guys think I’m The Messiah because I have a resemblance to him or you guys want money so you kidnapped me for ransom”

I said as the kidnappers looked at themselves then one of them came forward as he seemed to be the second in command

“We know you’re the Messiah, we’ve been investigating you for a long time and you’re gonna do as we ask or we’ll expose your identity to the world”

He said as I looked at him and laughed and then I asked him

“How do you know I’m the Messiah? What proof do you have?”

“Well…”

“See you’re just assuming I’m the Messiah because I look like him? You’re just wasting my time”

“Not exactly”

Someone said from behind and I looked and it seemed like their leader, he came forward and said

“We have pictures of you going into the Healing Sanctuary and coming out as The Messiah”

He brought out some pictures and showed them to me, it’s pictures of the Messiah and of me, I looked at it and I said

“Well they do resemble each other but I also help in funding the Messiah but secretly, I do attend his healing service but I don’t want anyone to know that’s why you see me sneaking in”

He was wearing a mask but I could tell he was confused and wasn’t sure of what to believe

“I can prove it, just check my phone”

I said as I unlocked it with my face, he checked some documents and found out I funded most of The Messiah’s services and stuffs but as William Scott, no one knew The Messiah’s real name they only know him as The Messiah.

The kidnappers where shocked after seeing this and then they decided to ask for ransom for my release, I just smiled and said

“Well that won’t be possible”

I said and raised my hands up, turns out I was able to free myself from the ropes my hands were tied with and then as he wanted to bring out his gun,

I got up and punched him, then faced his gun at one of the kidnappers as he wanted to shoot me, he shot his men instead, and as we were dragging the gun he shot another one of his men

I punched him as he was knocked out and then I threw the chair at the second in command who was pointing his gun at me, another one came with a baseball bat but I held it and gave him a head butt

The second in command tried to shoot me but I blocked the bullet with the kidnapper I was holding and he got shot instead, I took the baseball bat and threw it at the second in command as it hit his head and he was knocked out.

I left the basement to the upper part of the building and I saw the last one of them heading towards me, he brought out a knife and tried to attack me but I held his hand and punched him I then kicked him into a table, I punched him again knocking him out and left the building into the street.

I didn’t know the area very well but I managed to take a taxi and left that place to my house which was at a clif and downwards was the ocean leading outwards from the city, in simple terms I lived at the edge of the city.

Quick recap though I took my phone from the kidnappers before I escaped, information on that phone was very much important to lose, it wasn’t my first time being kidnapped and it certainly wasn’t gonna be the last.

I got home by midnight and thinking that was the last of it, a dark portal opened up and a witch came out of it, my guards tried to stop her but she blasted them with darkness.

I was in my room looking down as all this was happening and suddenly I noticed something behind me as I looked I saw a girl, well it wasn’t a girl it was like she was a dead corpse walking towards me as she attacked me.

I held her before she could fully reach me and then I pushed her back as she hit the wall, she got up almost immediately and came at me but I caught her and throw her through the window as she fell downstairs.

She got up and saw the witch and wanted to attack the witch but she blasted her with darkness and she was vaporized, I immediately ran towards the door of my room only for a dark portal to open up in my room and the witch came out of it.

She used telekinesis to push me out the window and held me in the air,

“You can’t kill me”

I said and then she dragged me back into the room with telekinesis and I fell to the floor

“Oh bloody hell”

I said as I hurt my knee, I looked up to her and asked

“Who the bloody hell are you?!”

She pulled her hood backwards revealing her face

“I’m Ada Smith and I am here to make sure you fulfill your destiny”

“I see”

I said as I got up from the floor and then I asked her

“You should have at least come to me nicely, why did you attack my guards?”

“Those weren’t normal humans, they were sent here to watch and kill you”

She said as she walked to the edge of my window and I followed her as we looked downstairs, the bodies of the guards were gone

“We aren’t safe here, let’s leave now!”

She opened up a portal and walked right inside it, I wasn’t going to get into the portal but I was compelled to go in with her as I walked into it, the portal closed.
