I just nod at Anti and started to zip up my backpack. Mark still was worried about me, he watched my every move. Not in a creepy way, he's just trying to look out for me.

   I need to be strong about this. I can't just break down while I'm fighting for my life. I mean, I don't know how powerful Dark is, or how powerful he can be. But a....functioning team vs. 1? I mean, his power might be as equal as us 3 combined..but it is worth every penny to get things back to normal.

   What a weird life would it be if we just sat there, letting everyone die. And we couldn't do anything about it besides watch. I mean, we could try to do something about it, but it would probably be too powerful. It reminds me of a game I saw Jack and Mark play long ago...what's it called....oh! Presentable Liberty.

   It's really weird, I mean, everything is, in it's own way. But it's weird to think back at the times where it was normal..I wonder if I'm the cause of all of this? What if I never met Jack as a online friend? What if I never knew that they existed? Would all of this have happened? Either way if it would've happened or not.. I'm glad I found them both, I'm glad I met them, im glad, I'm glad I'm glad I'm glad.

   "What do you know about this...Dark?" I ask Anti, letting my thoughts go away before I become a mental breakdown again.

   "Well, he's a Dark person for sure.." he starts, "never in a million years you would hear him say something nice."

   "Maybe saying stuff about the Bible might make him act up?" I ask, using my horror movie tactics.

   Anti laughs, "That will only make him more angry."

   "Oh." Is all I could put into words.

   "HOLY WATER!" Mark guesses out.

   "Okay, seriously, have you ever thought of something more dumb in your life?" Anti asks, rolling his eyes like a teenager.

   "He's effected by his memories! All demons are. It just gets less effective the more powerful he gets."

   "Oh." Was all that Mark could put into words, like me.

   "Well, what memories does he have?" I ask.

   "That's the thing, none of us besides himself knows. The best solution i have is Mark to yell memories that he thinks might effect him." Me and Anti look at Mark.

   "Not just sad memories too, possibly happy memories! Like how you first had feelings for Joci!" I grab another backpack for Mark.
  
   Mark just smiles at me, but then his smiles disappears. He must be sad thinking about how a Joci just left like that. She didn't mean to, and i bet that she didn't want to leave him-us. It's just that selfish big meanie that always has to ruin everything.

   It's like at school, there's that one kid who ruins everything for everyone. Yeah. That's Dark.

   And Anti? He's a friend of Darks, but is too dumb to realize that Dark is just using him to finish his Friday nights homework.

   But the rest of us, (Joci, Mark, and I) were the ones who always get bullied from Dark. No matter if we told the teachers, parents, or even the principal, Dark will always finds a way to get him to seem innocent. And we're the ones who get in trouble instead.

   I just shake the thoughts away as Mark calls my name for me to get going. Anti was already out the door, but Mark waited for me.

   "You okay?" Mark asks, putting a hand on my shoulder.

   "Yes Mark, I'm okay." I just wanted to get rid of Dark as fast as possible.

   He says that he's sorry if he bothered me, which he really didn't. My voice just came out in a different way that I wanted it to. I just want to get rid of Dark, so then everything can be normal again.

   "Grab on!" Anti takes me and Marks shirt and pulls us both in close.

   Me and Mark both looked at Anti like he was crazy. Then we looked at each other with questions in our eyes. What was he doing? Was he gonna fly? All those little things that we kept to ourselves. But then, a portal somehow managed to appear in front of us. It kinda looked like a black hole in space, but less scary. It was trying to suck us in, so my hair was flying towards it. Some of the furniture went inside it as well. But besides that, The portal looked like this blob. The color of it wasn't wowing, either, it just had a navy blue-ish outline with the rest of it pitch black. It glowed a little bit too.

   I looked at Anti to see the smile we know and hate, as he starts to go inside the portal. At first, I only saw pitch black, and I felt like I was gonna puke. But luckily, I didn't. I was just falling in pitch blackness, and Anti and Mark wasn't with me either. But once when I closed my eyes, everything just stopped. I slowly opened one eye, and I saw dried grass. I opened the other eye, I saw more dirt then grass, but there was still some grass. I looked up, more grass. I looked forward, nothing but a void.

   "There you are!" Says Mark, I don't see him anywhere.

   "Wha-what the heck?! Why is there floating grass above me?" I point to the sky-grass.

   Anti just laughs and then waits. I blink, then everything changed. Well, not everything, just the lighting....and the ground.......okay everything changed around me. I look up to only see a ceiling, everything started to move on it's own like as if I was getting dizzy. Well, I should be getting dizzy if everything started moving on its own.

   "Whoaaa what's happening?" I think out loud, "Why can't I see either of you guys?!" I try to balance myself.

   "But, we can see you..?" Marks sentence was more as a question.

   "This must be your first time teleporting in a portal." Anti guesses.

   I just nod my head as I fall on my butt. I can hear Anti trying not to laugh

   "Maybe blink a few more times?" Mark thinks. I just do as he says.

   I start to blink rapidly, everything changing every time I blink. I was at the grocery store, now I'm at a pool party, then I'm at a random high school.

   "WHATS GOING ONNNN?!" I yelp.

   "You must be going slow in time. Wherever places you may appear at, those places must be the places we traveled over for us to get where we are now."

  Everything stops, I am still blinking, yet I'm not teleporting to anymore places. I stop blinking to look around. The first thing I see was Anti and Mark, then me on the floor. Looking around me though, I'm in a house. Why am I in a house?

   "Uhh...a house?" I look more around the place to see more of a wrecked house.

   "Yyyeahh...this is my house." He scratches the back of his neck.

   "Oh..." I look more around, to see more of a animals house.

   Everything was practically destroyed. The couches has scratch marks, and the cotton inside of them was escaping. One of the chairs only has three legs, and the windows have cracks/scratch marks or their completely gone.

   "Ohhhhkay."

   "Don't question anything." He said firmly.

   I just nod, knowing that he'd probably kill me if I questioned anything..literally.

   I looked through the windows, all that I could see was a black sky, no stars or moon though. Next I look down, literally were floating....unless the ground is really black and dark. I just take a deep breath and calm myself down, the last thing I want is a panic attack.

   "Why did you bring us here?" I look at Anti for answers.

   "It's 8:45! It's passed my bedtime." He taps on his wrist, pretending there's a watch around it.

   "Your literally leaving one of my 2 favorite people, IN THIS WORLD, TO DIE BY A DEMON!!" I look at Mark to see his eyes full of rage, but trying to stay calm.

   "Hey, it's okay gurl. At least one of them will still be alive, right?"

   I ball up my fist, I now was breathing rather quickly. I was about ready to punch him in the face. But what good would that do? Plus, if I do that, it probably won't hurt him at all... I just can't believe Anti...........wait.....

   Bingo...

   "Hey Jack..." I look at Anti and Anti looks at me.

   "It's Anti, for your information." He starts to go upstairs, probably to his bedroom.

   "Jack," I ignore his comment, "Remember the first time you met Mark?"

   He takes a sharp turn to look at me, Mark doesn't know what I was trying to do, but I can see in Anti-Jacks eyes that he knows exactly what I'm gonna do.

   "Remember the first time you met me?"

   That beat him up a little.

   "This gotta be a joke.." Anti says, looking at me.

   My idea was to kill Anti by his memories. Like what he said, all demons are affected by touching memories. And he's a demon too, right?

   "Remember when your grandma passed away and didn't know who you were?" I looked at the floor, not making eye contact with him.

   "Your not joking.." Anti's voice was shaking.

   I think Mark realized what I was doing, because he tried to stop me.

   "Y/N, please stop." I look up at Mark, "he's the only chance for us to save Joci and Emma.."

   "But Anti is the reason why Joci and Emma could die any minuet, he let Dark take them!"

   "Listen he didn't mean to, Dark used him he didn't do anything-"

   "THEN WHOS FAULT IS IT?!? HUH?!!?" I yell, my voice getting stronger.

   "No ones, okay?"

   "NO! IT HAS TO BE SOMEONES, IT COULD BE YOU," I point to Anti.

   "COULD BE YOU YOU!" I point to Mark.

   "IT EVEN COULD BE ME!!" I point to myself.

   "BUT ALL I KNOW IS THAT ANTI DID ALL OF THIS BECAUSE HE CHOSEN TO TAKE OVER SEÁN'S BODY!!" My voice is shaky, I start to feel warm tears fall.

   "WELL IM SORRY THAT IVE BEEN LOCKED IN DARKNESS FOR YEARS!! NOT FEELING ANY LIGHT!" Anti argues.

"Oh, it's about YOOUU now?! Huh?!?"

"YES! VERY MUCH ABOUT ME! DONT YOU CARE ABOUT MY FEELINGS TOO?!?"

"WELL TWO LOVED ONES ARE PROBABLY DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU! I THINK WE CAN ALLL AGREE IF YOU DIE, THEN IM PRETTY SURE THAT YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED!!"

"You....." Anti picks me up off the ground with his powers and started... choking me?

"ANTI!!" Mark yells. When he yells with his deep voice like that....it's scary if I'm being honest.

I couldn't see It, but I could hear Mark run towards Anti. His fast steps making, I think, Mark crash into him, because now I went flying to the ceiling. My head hit the ceiling and bounced me back to the ground..it hurt......a lot.

"Do you know the heck your doing?!?!" Mark yells at Anti.

"If you kill her, that means that Jack would probably kill himself. Which if he kills himself, then a lot of his fans would probably kill themselves too! Your now killing innocent people, just because of how much she misses that poor boy!!! She doesn't really mean it, she doesn't."

I can imagine Anti starting to play with his hair, "WELL SHE CANT JUST ACCUSE ME FOR EVERYTHING!! SHE ALSO DOESNT JUST SAY THAT TO RANDOM PEOPLE-"

"Exactly! She doesn't! Don't you get it? Her last family member is probably dead! And that last family member would've had a big future ahead of her! Do you know how horrible that must feel? No, you don't! Because you never have gone through it before. And because you haven't, you don't know the pain and suffering she's going through. Just let this pass, please."

It just randomly was silent. I don't think neither of them knew what to do about this situation, because Anti and Mark said nothing. I cannot wait to feel Jacks lovable arms again. I cannot wait to hear his voice, his laugh. I just. Can't. Wait.

   ".....I-..I just want Seán back..." I sob, my head still hurts...

I heard a loud sigh. Then I heard footsteps get louder and louder, probably just getting closer to me. I quickly look over to see who it was. My head still hurting, It hurts even more because I moved my head so quick. Focusing my vision, I can tell that Anti was coming closer to me. I quickly start to back up from him, I don't want to get chocked nor thrown ever again. I also get angry as heck every time I see his face.

"I'm...sorry." He pauses before he says the word 'sorry'.

I just say nothing and look back down on the floor. I put my hand on where I bumped my head, which stung. I flinched and look at my head, and luckily, there wasn't any blood. I sigh of relief and stress. If this keeps up between me and Anti, then there is no way we can team up acting like this.

"No comment." I say between my teeth.

   I get up to get my backpack and leave. Whether Anti or Mark is coming with me or not, I need to make sure Dark isn't torturing them in any shape or form. We can't just sit here, while Joci and Emma could be in the greatest danger they've ever been in.

   Anti follows behind me, I could hear his steps trace my own. I was about to look back behind me, but I remembered that he was right there. Plus, Anti is the last face I want to see.

I take my backpack and start to look for a door out of this place. The only things I saw was broken furniture, ripped/stained carpets, and the poorly-painted walls covering the 'outside' world. It's like everything that's happening was fake. This is all fake, everything is gonna be okay. I'm gonna wake up from this horrible dream and Jack is gonna be okay, Joci is, Emma is, Mark is-My parents will be safe.

   "Looking for something?" Mark asks, seeing me looking around the house.

   "Uh, is there a door anywhere down here?" I look at Mark then Anti.

   "Uhh no...why?"

   I just sigh, again, "it just seems odd to see any floor without doors." I lie.

   Mark gives me one last look before he sighs after me. (So many sighing) he then starts to walk upstairs, and now me and Anti were alone.

   Instead of just sitting in awkward silence, I decided to follow Mark. I don't know where he was going, whether he's looking for the bathroom or just looking around, I'm following him.

   "It's like you've moved in this house a week ago..how do you know where your going?"

   "I don't." He smiles at me, "I'm looking around the place to learn which room is which."

  I just shrug and follow him.
