Chapter 23

"No!" I scream, the words shattering through the silence as Anti's eyes widen as he realized what had happened to him.

It was like a bad horror movie unraveling before my own eyes, the thing retracts its claws from his chest, Anti slowly falling backwards, body hitting the pavement with a loud thunk. The thing controlling Wade's body smiles creepily, moving away while making a slight tsking noise.

"Aww... that is just too damn bad," the thing says, grinning, eyes flashing. "We were having so much fu-" he was never able to finish his sentence.

I let go of Alexa's hand and ran at it, smashing my fist against its facing sending it flying backwards. My blood boiled with rage as it got back up on its feet chuckling. Behind me I could hear the others yelling at one another about something about Jack collapsing. I wasn't really listening, I was more focused on the millions of ways I could break this guy's skull.

"Ooh look at the infamous Darkipooper getting all pissy cause I killed his little boy toy."

"Shut up!" I growl, taking a step forward, curling my hands into fists.

"Or what? You'll claw my pretty little eyes out? Hmm?" I throw my head back laughing.

"That's exactly," The sky turns darker as the temperature turns colder the angrier I got. "What I'm going to do when I get my hands on you motherfucker!" The thing looked unfazed at the change in weather, the others however were freaking out a little.

"Dark, we need to get out of here!" Felix's voice yells over the wind. I grin.

"No, you guys need to get out of here. I prefer you all not to see the monster that I really am."

"What are you talking about?" Cry exclaims. My grin gets wider as I feel my body start to change to its true form. Something familiar that I haven't felt in a while stirs within me.

Dark, you need to calm down. He says. I ignore him, taking a step towards the thing, watching its face slowly pale as my body slowly turns into black mist, red eyes gleaming.

"O-okay buddy, calm down!" It says, backing up a little.

"Oh, I am calm." I reply, my voice was deep and sinister. "I'll be even calmer once I tear you to shreds!" And lunged towards him.

He screams as I rake my claws down his face. He lets out another scream but I ignored him raking my claws across his throat laughing at the blood squirting out. His eyes widen as he tries to gurgle out a small plea for mercy. I smile, bending over his shredded and heavily bleeding body.

"What is mercy?" I sneer, bringing my foot down on his throat hard, hearing a satisfying snap at the sound of it breaking. His body goes limp underneath my foot and I sigh.

Y-you killed him... Mark whimpers as I calm down, seeing skin and clothes instead of shadows.

He deserved to die! He killed Anti damn it!

Wade didn't-

Mark, listen to me. I don't know what you saw or how long you've been gone, but that thing was definitely not Wade. Wade was long dead when that thing possessed his body.

But we could've-

Mark, there was no hope for him. He was gone. Sorrow fills my entire body as I walk over to Anti's body and bent down. If I was able to cry, I would've cried a new river for Anti, but I can't. I am unable to cry. Instead, I close his beautiful blue unseeing eyes, stood up and walk back to the others who were staring at me in terror. It was Cry who broke the silence.

"Remind me to never get on your bad side." I smile a little.

"You don't have to worry about that because Mark is back." Jack's pale face looks up at me, eyes stained with tears while Vinny rubs his back trying to console him.

"I-I guess that we should a-at least be thankful that when o-one person's light goes out, a-another one comes back" he sniffles, wiping away his tears on the back of his sleeve. "Can we just leave? P-please?" Jack asks quietly, gripping the necklace that Anti gave him a while back.

"Where are we going to go?" I ask quietly.

"Somewhere where no one can hurt us. Somewhere where everything will be okay." He responds, sniffling. Ken smiles sadly.

"I wish it was that easy Jack. I wish it was that easy."
