Chapter 12

((Sorry this took so long! and Happy Halloween!! Are y'all dressing up? If so as what!? :) ))




~~~~~Dark's POV~~~~~



I take control slowly, easily. Soon the fingers moving on my command, and all traces of Mark gone, but not quite. He always remained in my mind, though the confusion of this seemed to keep him quiet, for now at least.

As I finally blink a few times, letting my eyes adjust to the new body I let them wander over the man who sat still straddling Mark's lap... my lap.

I study him, the green hair, those mischievous eyes, it would be impossible to not recognize him...

"Hey there Darky.... Been a while."

His accented voice comes out a purr, and I can't stop a growl as it rises up my chest. With no hesitance I shove him off, standing from the seat and stretching out the sore muscles. It always was uncomfortable taking over a new body. Yet, it had to be done.

Looking over again Anti had stood up, that smile never once faltering from his paled face. How obnoxious....

"Not even a hello?"

I say nothing, letting my crimson eyes show the annoyance I truly felt. He huffs, crossing his arms over his small chest.

"What do you think you're doing, Septiceye...."

I lower my voice to a growl, watching as his eyes flood with anger.

"My job... and I told you... it's Anti...."

He matches my tone, though the accent making it much less sinister. His smile had finally dropped, and I feel my own mouth twitch up into an almost smile.

"It looks like you're trying to kill the poor thing..."

My eyes scan over the frail body before me. Though it was Anti in control that didn't stop me from noticing how worn his human was. I'm sure the human was losing his mind by now. Which would explain the asylum.

"So what if I am? It's none of your business Dark..."

His small voice grows in animosity, mouth curved into a snarl, making him look rather rabid.

"You know very well that's not our goal, Septiceye... We can't have another incident...."

I watch his hands clench at his sides, knuckles whitening at the force. His spine straightens standing about eye to eye with me now, but I simply continue to study him boredly. Keeping my expression stoic as always.

"There won't be another incident.... I know what I'm doing.... And I don't need some pretentious douche to critique my methods...."

I feel my eyebrow instinctively raise, almost feeling a smile twitch onto my mouth. Such anger in such a small being... it was almost funny, if it weren't so pathetic.

"Fine fine... but don't come crying to me when you fail.... Again..."

That was his breaking point, his teeth sharpen and his green eye glows menacingly, though it doesn't faze me. What does surprise me however is when I feel his fist meet my jaw, jerking my head to the side, though I hardly feel it.

Moving my jaw back and forth I look back to him, his glowing eye boring into me with such fury. This time I let the smile grow onto my face, watching his teeth grind at that small notion.

"Step off your high horse Dark... Arrogance will get you nowhere...."

"We'll see..."

The words leave me in a purr, matching his earlier tone. His anger shifts to almost an annoyance as his glowing eye fades and blue seems to leak into it. Sean's back...

Anti shoots me one last glare, being sure it showed his pure rage before letting the human take over.

That anger faded along with the green, replaced with an annoyed blue. Soon being overpowered by fear as those eyes meet mine.

I watch him step back, almost tripping over the table as he stepped away from me. I can't help as a smile curls over my lips, his fear was delicious...

"Sean..."

I watch his face pale as his name leaves my lips.

"W-Who are y-you...?"

I can almost see him silently cuss as his voice quivers, only making my grin grow...

"Dark... At your service...."



~~~~~~~Jack's POV~~~~~~



Dark? So he's like Anti? That was obvious... it was Mark's body, but... not... He stood taller, his confidence greater, his presence more intimidating. And his eyes... That deep red that seemed to stare straight through you... straight into your deepest fears...

I feel his eyes study me, almost charmed. His smile grew more as I stay silent, and I finally realize how badly my hands shook at my sides...

"S-So... Y-You're...."

The words don't form, but he understands, seeming to genuinely enjoy the fear that I'm sure shone in every little movement.

"Like Septic- Anti...."

He stops himself midsentence... Septic? What was he going to call him? I push that question away.

"M-Mark?"

"He's fine... For now..."

His deep voice sends chills down my spine, perhaps from the slight anger that remained underneath it at the mention of Mark... I don't even have time to question his phrasing before he speaks again.

"You care for him?"

I freeze, watching the curiosity that entered his otherwise emotionless eyes. I quickly shake my head, focusing as I choose my next words carefully.

"N-No... It's just..."

I feel this 'Dark' watch me expectantly, I take another minute or so to even form the words.

"No one d-deserves... this..."

His eyes narrow, and that simple gesture makes my face pale. I instinctively shrink back as he stands taller, watching me with a new anger.... Zero to a hundred real quick....

"This? You don't even know what 'this' is..."

His voice comes out a low growl, almost echoing around me.

"For all you know I'm here to help..."

I'm not sure what it was... Maybe the fact that I know what it felt like to not be in control, but I feel my spine straighten and my gaze to harden. Dark almost looks surprised.

"Help? Doubtful... Both you and Anti are demons or something... All you do is hurt people... So don't you dare tell me you're here to help!"

My voice raises. The surprise in his eyes holds for a minute before it disappears. And the pure rage that replaced it made me reel back again, any confidence I had was replaced with that uncontrollable fear.

He steps forward, and I desperately wish to take one back, but my body froze, unable to move.

"Now now... Don't get too brave Sean..."

His voice comes out a growl. I gulp as a larger smile forms across his face, the usual Cheshire grin I'd see from Anti... Somehow Dark made it even scarier...

"You best watch your tongue, else I cut it out...."

My teeth impulsively catch my tongue between them and I resist the urge to take off running. Dark's anger disperses soon replaced with cold indifference once more. A small sigh escapes him as he rolls his neck, eyes moving to me once more.

"We'll talk soon, Sean..."

With that his eyes close and he falls limply back onto the chair behind him. I feel the air release from my lungs, and let my body relax, hands shaking violently at my sides.

What the hell was that... What is he... Why-

A groan interrupts my thoughts.

"Sean?"
