((I swear I was going to post this yesterday... My computer wouldn't let me access Wattpad :( ))

"Fischbach?"

Forgetting my fear for a moment I rush over, reaching a hand out to help him up. He thankfully takes it, rubbing his head as he stands, I can't help but smile apologetically... First time was really painful...

"What the hell was that...?"

I chew on the inside of my lip for a moment, honestly unsure of how to word it...

"That... That's what it feels like..."

His eyes narrow in silent question and I huff, letting my eyes move to his.

"To lose control.... To have a demon..."

His eyes move away this time, it's obvious he doesn't know what to say to that. Neither do I. I let my eyes study his face, his eyes slightly squinted hinting at the pain that surely still rang through his head.

"And you thought I was crazy..."

I mumble, my weak attempt at humor almost making him smile sadly.

"Maybe we both are..."

Silence stretches out, tense, maddening. I yearn to say something, but what could I say.

"You talked to him?"

I silently gulp, feeling a lump form in my throat as I nod, Mark watching me questioningly.

"What happened? Did he hurt you?"

I shake my head, though unable to speak, still fairly shaken up at the face to face meeting. The only time I've met a demon face to face was in my dreams... Even that wasn't as terrifying as being in the same room as one.

I pull away from my thoughts noticing Mark's questioning brown eyes, realizing he wanted me to speak up, tell all. I sigh, swallowing the large lump in my throat leaving it dry and sore.

"H-He... I don't know... He just spoke... Said he was here to help..."

Mark scoffs quietly, I almost smile at how similar our reactions had been.

"Help? What bullshit... How could something like him help...?"

I shrug gently, letting my eyes move downward.

"He seems better than Anti at least..."

I mutter almost inaudibly, Mark either doesn't hear or purposefully ignores me.

"Well what are we supposed to do?"

"We?"

The question escapes me, he looks at me curiously and nods, a new anger to his brown eyes.

"Yes we... We're in this together..."

I let my eyes wander downward again, unsure of how to respond.

Together? That's such bullshit...

Speak of the devil....

He called you crazy... Hell, he treated you like some psychopath... But now that it's his ass on the line...

I try to ignore him, however my hands clench into fists at my sides, and I feel the anger surround me. I tell myself to not listen to him, why would I? His goal is to make my life a living hell, a waking nightmare. Yet, his words resonated, and I listened despite better judgement.

"Bullshit..."

I almost make myself flinch with that word, the pure anger... I sounded too much like him....

Mark noticed it to, outwardly wincing at the tone. That should have stopped me, but the demon simply continued to feed the flames, his anger genuine, though not at Mark... Perhaps the anger was directed at Dark... However Mark was the one to feel his wrath, through me.

He doesn't care about you... He's a selfish piece of shit who only cares about himself!

This time it's obvious he isn't talking about Mark. The pure feeling in his words almost made me freeze, it wasn't often he showed actual emotion.

"Don't act like you care now that you're crazy too... There is no 'we'.... You're on your own..."

With that last growl I could feel it, Anti's voice mixed with my own. Mark's wide eyes watched me, mouth opening and closing, struggling to form words.

I don't let him speak, instead I walk to the door, kicking it a few times until it opens, and let myself be led away, ignoring the eyes I felt on me.

~~~~~~Mark's POV~~~~~~

Where the hell did that come from? That outburst... Was that Anti? No... It had to be Sean... but it wasn't...

Was Sean letting that demon get to him, after everything? He couldn't, could he?

Don't overestimate him Mark... He's losing himself... We both know that...

The voice in my head makes me visibly flinch. Half expecting to see the demon in the room with me, but thankful when I didn't. I sigh quietly. Was I going to have to listen to him speak all the time? I suppose it was better than seeing him, something about his physical aura scared me, I couldn't hide that.

I wasn't lying... I truly am here to help...

As he speaks I can almost picture his crimson eyes, hiding any lie that may hide beneath his words.

"Yah right... Why would you help me?"

I scoff out loud. No doubt looking as crazy as the patients I treated. He chuckles, the chuckle resonating deeply through my skull, sending shivers throughout me.

That is for me to know and you to find out....

I roll my eyes at that, still frankly weirded out by the whole voice in my head thing.

"Better question then... Why should I trust you?"

I can almost see his sharp toothed smile.

I understand your hesitance, Mark... I've given you no reason to trust me... but... I may be the only one who can help Sean...

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

I sigh, letting my eyes wander the rugged ceiling, counting each bump out of pure boredom. I continued trying to distract my thoughts.

Between, Dark, Mark, Anti... This place... Hell, I'm surprised I have this much sanity left.

Speaking of, Anti had kept his mouth shut since his little outburst, I could almost feel his hesitance to speak again. Curiosity continued to plague me, and finally I couldn't take it anymore...

"Anti..."

I can feel his slight confusion. I'm not usually the one to start conversations, especially not with him.

What?

He mutters in annoyance, for once I was the one annoying him. The thought almost makes me smile.

"What was that about?"

What was what about....

He huffs, voice almost a growl.

"That outburst in there..."

He hesitates, and I can feel my own breath hitch. Did I anger him?

I was just getting to you... That's kinda what I do, Sean...

"No... That wasn't it... I can feel what you can Anti..."

There it is again, that hesitance. What the hell is up with him, it's out of character for him to be so quiet. A minute soon passes, then another, and still silence.

"Anti? Come on... You know everything about me, but I know nothing about you... I hardly know what you are... not to mention why you're here..."

More silence, I can feel him think on the questions. And for a moment I feel a softness, I almost think he's going to answer them genuinely.

Take those questions.... And shove 'em up your ass, Sean...

His voice comes out a snarl. A warning hid underneath those words. I shut my mouth despite the question that continue through my head, and decide to not push it...

Anti goes silent as well, and I simply let thoughts consume me once more...

~~~~~Anti's POV~~~~~

Curious little shit tonight, huh? I internally huff as he finally goes silent. I could still hear the questions bounce through his head, but that wasn't hard to ignore.

I can't believe this... I managed to show weakness, in front of a human nonetheless...

What the hell is wrong with me...? It's that damn Dark... I didn't expect him to be here...

That pompous asshole always manages to get me like this. Undeniably angry, hateful of everything... Yet so confused...

Why the hell did he have to bring that up...? So I screwed up once... I know how to do my job... my methods are just a bit more... complicated... Not that it's any of his business...

Of course I'd get stuck like this. Not only dealing with a stubborn human, but having the one other demon I hate so close to me... Things couldn't get any worse....

I huff, letting the thoughts disperse before Sean had a chance to catch any of them. Until an idea hits me, and I feel the malicious grin grow across my face.

I'll just have to break his human... That should bring him down a peg or two...
