The first thing Anti did when he woke up was go to Dark's house. Wilford had opened the door, looking surprised at the sight of the other demon. The pink-haired ego went to say a greeting but Anti didn't give him enough time before barging into the house and yelling for Dark.

Dark walked downstairs whilst rubbing his eyes. They were red but Anti wasn't sure if that was because he was rubbing them or if he had been crying or something beforehand. "The fuck do you want?" The ego grumbled. Anti was probably the last person he wanted to see at that moment.

"Guess who's back?" Anti was smirking, hoping Dark would catch on.

"I don't care." Dark turned to go back upstairs but what Anti said next made him halt.

"I think you do." Anti's eyes then turned fully black and he could have sworn he saw Dark's face light up. He practically ran towards the demon, enveloping him in a long hug to show how much he had missed him.

"Is it actually you? Not some weird version of you who doesn't enjoy violence?"

"It's me! So... how about a date later... see who can kill more?"

"That sounds so appealing right now... What time?"

"The reason I brought all of you here..." Anti started, folding his arms. He had his eyes disguised as the emerald colour, just to hide the fact that his demon-self was back. "I need to explain a few things."

"Yes, you do." Henrik responded for the rest of the egos. Anti's eyes scanned the group and Henrik looked incredibly bored; Jackieboy Man just looked irritated and JJ, Marvin and Chase appeared upset.

Anti then explained pretty much everything about the dreams and Seán and the emotions he had been feeling. The others just stared at him in shock and gradually they all began to look rather guilty. Once he had covered almost everything, he stood up for emphasis and thrust out both arms with a grin on his face that showed off his sharp canines. "To conclude: I'm back!" He then let his eyes glisten over with the empty black again and literally every ego in the room squealed (yes, even Henrik).

They all seemed ecstatic. He didn't need to be someone else to make people happy; he needed to be himself.

"Anti, I'm so glad you're back. Killing is so much less exhilarating on your own!" Dark muttered, a knife pressed into a young woman's neck. Anti could only agree as he thrust his weapon into a man's gut, watching as a lot of blood poured out of the wound. His hands were literally covered in the red substance and he wouldn't have had it any other way. "I can't believe you ever thought about giving this up. You're crazy, man!"

"I know!" Anti was breathing heavily so he paused for a moment to calm down a little. "I'm so happy to be back. Being human is fucking boring."

"I'm sure it is."

"Yep... How many you got?"

"Two so far, you?"

"Three."

"I need to up my game." Both their eyes tracked a drunk teenager stumbling down the woodland path and they mentally counted down together before racing towards him. Anti just so happened to be faster so he managed to cover the teenager's mouth with his hand and drag him behind a tree. He used his knife to cut into his shoulder.

"Mine. I'm going to win this game." He muttered to Dark who rolled his eyes.

"I'm sorry but I can't help that my boyfriend is a speedy killing machine!"

Anti took one last look into the teenager's fearful eyes before driving the knife into his chest.

"And I love him for that."

"Sappy little shit. I thought I was the one who experienced being a human?"

Okay so I'm really proud of this book. Even though it's extremely sick with the way Anti wants to become a murderer, I just think it's cool! The ending is a bit eh though.There's a lot of meaning behind it and I'll explain it in another chapter. I'll post it at the same time as this :)

Thank you for reading this! It's definitely different to other stuff I've written, considering it is centred around Anti and his change between demon and human. I think it's a pretty interesting concept.

I can't help but wonder... was he ever human? Did something turn him into a demon? Who knows...

Also I posted a new book yesterday called No Excuses. It's really sad so I'm warning you now... Here's the description:

"I- I- He- He loves me."

"If he did this... it isn't love."

It's very minimal but that suits the story :)
