"Mark."

I moan, my head was fixing to explode. I was in pain, so much pain.

"What's happening to him?" Someone sighs, picking me up.

"So as you all know, Dark kind of took control over Mark's body," Anti's voice was loud. Too loud. I wince.

"So this wasn't Mark that over killed this bitch a couple of minutes ago?"

My heart pounds in my ears as I let out a whimper. Whoever was holding me pulls me closer to their chest. I heard their faint heart beat, which calmed me down a little.

"No," the voice rumbles in their chest. Anti was holding me again. "It was him but wasn't him."

"What do you mean?" Swedish accent. Felix.

"It was Mark, but he wasn't in control of his own body. You all remember Dark right?" Silence confirms that they remember. "Well, he isn't fully gone. Some of his blood is mixed in with Mark's. Something must've pissed Mark off pretty badly if the blood took control over his body like that."

Another pain slices through my head. I grit my teeth letting out a small hiss.

"So what did you do to him?" Anti sighs and he started walking.

"What did I do? I simply did what any other demon as powerful as me would've done. I simply put a seal on the demon blood."

I growl as another wave of pain floods through my body.

"The more you fight it Mark, the worse it is going to hurt." Anti says while walking. I couldn't hear any of my friends talking. They were probably walking silently behind Anti and I.

A force pushes me back. I cry out as my eyes were forced open.

"Just because you put a damn seal on me isn't going to stop me." Anti sighs.

"Keep telling yourself that Dark. I can already see you getting weaker and weaker as the seal starts to take a hold of you."

"Why?" I hear Dark ask, sorrow filled in his voice. I push myself up against the shadows. Gray tendrils grabbing at the shadow.

"You know exactly why." And then my world went black again.

A wet sensation covers my face. I let out a strangled moan. The sound of water reaches my ears as I open my eyes.

A wash cloth covers my face, I peel it off and gently sat up, holding a hand to my still pounding head.

It appeared that we were in a small, warm cave. The others were huddled together in a far corner talking quietly with Anti.

Shrugging, I stand up slowly, my legs unsteady. Anti looks up.

"You're finally awake! How do you feel?" The rest of my friends look over at me. I drop the washcloth, putting a hand against the cave's wall as the world started to spin again.

"I feel like crap," I mutter, slowly sitting back down again.

"Is that a good or bad thing?" Felix asks. Anti sighs.

"It's a little bit of both. It's bad that he feels like crap but it's a good thing that he is up and walking-ish."

I lean my head back against the wall and close my eyes. Whatever "seal" Anti placed on me, sucks. I jumps as cool hands gently grab the sides of my face, opening my eyes. Anti.

"I know how much pain you probably are in, even though your body is use to it by now, but I need you to look directly into my eyes." I stare directly at him. His green eyes flash twice and my headache starts to fade away.

I sigh happily. "What did you do?"

"Temporarily blocked the pain that Darkiplier was causing you." He removes his hands and sat back on his heels. "However you're going to eventually deal with the pain by yourself." He coughs.

"Did you want me to take Ken and Wade to search for food like we talked about?" Cry asks Anti, smiling encouragingly at me. Anti nods.

"The sooner we have food, the better."

[Huge Time Skip I Know.]

I cling on to Anti as he starts to walk towards an edge of the cliff. Once everyone had bellies filled we had set out again. Everyone else walked while Anti gave me a piggy back ride. But now we had stopped a couple of feet away from a cliff.

I could hear waves crashing against the surface below us. I cringe, burying my face into Anti's neck.

"So why did we stop?" Ken asks, looking around.

"Because we are here."

"Here?" Bob asks in confusion. Cry sighs.

"We have arrived at the entrance to The Abyss." I lift my face a little.

"Where's the entrance?" Felix mutters. Anti points down at the waves.

"Down there." I was fully awake now.

"Isn't there another way?" I said a little too loud. Anti shakes his head.

"Nope this is the only way." My heart speeds up.

"Surely there's another way!"

"No Mark, there isn't."

"Okay, so exactly how do we get down there?" Ken asks, interrupting my panic session.

"We jump," Cry answers. That set me off.

"Jump? Are you insane!?" Cry shrugs.

"Just a little bit."

"I am not jumping down there in the deep dark water!" I shiver, struggling to get down from Anti's back. He grips my legs tighter making it impossible for me to move. "Let go of me!" I yell.

"Mark, it's not as bad as you think!"

"Like hell it's not! Let me go." Anti takes a step closer to the edge. My heart was now going hay wire. "Let me go!" I scream.

"It's not as bad as you think. Watch." I yell profanity at him, coming up with some new words also. And then he jumps.
