Game Over ~AntiAverage

3. Anti

The world seemed to 'load' in as my head started to spin. I fell against the floor fully expecting to be in that room again with all of those men but all I found was dirt. Jagged pebbles cut my skin as my palms pressed against the ground. My heart was racing so fast... I couldn't breathe. Everything was so loud... so... so scary.

Well if you could remember anything who knows if you'd actually be scared. Don't listen to that. No, listen, you need to remember... no, you need to find a place to hide. What if those men follow you? What that fire freak freaks out and fires more... well, fire?

"Shut... up!" I groaned as the voices started to get louder. "Just please shut up."

"Are you ok?" I tensed up hearing a voice behind me as I pushed myself up to my knees. I slowly turned to see a man in a pinstripe jacket and I frowned. His pink eyes lit up as he rushed over to help me to my feet. "Anti?" He knows me too? I narrowed my eyes as I looked him over and sighed. You'd think I would remember a man with pink hair and a pink mustache. He looks weak. He probably is. We should kill him. Yes, let's... Stab him. You know you want to. Look at him. "Anti?" I pushed myself out of his arms and swayed on my feet as I covered my ears praying to block out the thoughts. He's just standing there. There's no one around. Do it. It's fun...

"S-Stop..." I forced out through my teeth and the guy pulled me in again. This time into a hug. My body tensed up as my hand moved towards his back. Do it, Anti... I felt this pulse in my hand as this dark green fog began to emit from my fingers. I felt it harden and shift until I was holding a kitchen knife in my hand. My eyes went wide in fear. Fear of myself... DO IT ANTI! KILL HIM! "NO!" I pushed him back again dropping the knife onto the ground and the guy just stared at it in confusion. "You need to leave. G-Go away a-and d-don't come back."

"Anti, I can't just..." I hugged myself tightly trying to ignore the screams in my head and the guy's eyes softened. "I've never seen you so afraid." I looked up to see him smiling as he picked up the knife. He held it up and held it out for me. "I think you dropped this."

"W-Why..." His eyes narrowed and smiled sadly as placed the knife in my hand. "Why are you..."

"To be honest I don't think I've ever seen a demon so afraid." I narrowed my eyes as he stepped back putting his hands in his pant pockets. "Not Dark anyway."

"Dark?" He smiled brightly and I frowned. "Do I know them?" His eyes went wide for a second before he narrowed them in thought. He started to nod and laugh.

"Well sure you do, ol'chap. Or you did... or you will. It all depends on what part of reality you're in. Reality is nothing but incoherent madness after all. I never know what it will do but sometimes I know it all too well. Do you understand or am I just being me again?" I shook my head and he just laughed again. "I guess that means I'm just being..."

"WILFORD!" This loud and deep voice tore through the area and I tensed up. His face went white as he scratched the back of his neck. "What are you doing now? I told you to stay put and I find you 3 blocks awa..." I turned to see this man in a suit and I frowned. There was no color on him. In fact, he seemed to suck the color right out of the space around him. The only color he had was the red and blue effect he had around him. Almost like a 3d look... He narrowed his eyes and this loud pitch filled the space. I slammed my hands over my ears the block the sound but it dug into me.

"Hey..." The guy with the pink hair wrapped his arm around my shoulders pulling me in despite my shaking and just laughed. "Sorry about just disappearing on you but... uh... Anti here needed some help." I narrowed my eyes and frowned.

"What do you mean he needed help? He looks fine to..." I looked up at him again and he froze. His eyes went wide and suddenly he was right in front of me holding my chin up so he could get a better look. "Your eyes a brown."

"A-Are they?" I was still shaking. The man in the suit frowned.

"They're not supposed to be." He let go of me and looked over at the other man. "What happened?"

"Dunno... but uh, Dark..."

"Wait, that's Dark?" The guy in pink nodded as the guy in the suit, Dark, started to look worried. I frowned as I looked back over at him. Again, you would think I'd recognize a man like that. The chill of his touch... The angry look in his black eyes... The way his aura made my head hurt... I should remember him, but I don't.

"As I was saying... He doesn't seem to know us. But you still know him so..." Dark groaned cutting the other guy off and I frowned.

"I fought the guy, why wouldn't I know him, Will." I narrowed my eyes as I slowly started to back away. The man in pink, who I assume is Will, seemed alright considering but Dark just said he fought me. Which means he must not like me... Which means he could hurt me... right? "Nevermind. It's not like any of us could really understand those voices in your head."

"Voices?" They both looked at me in shock at how my voice broke. You're weak Anti and they know it too. You should run. No, he should asked for help, they clearly know him. No, he should kill them to show them he's not weak. But he is weak. No, he's not... NO! I threw my hands up to ears again trying to block the noise but it never works. They don't ever shut up. Why won't they shut up? Why can't I remember?

"Anti?" I saw as someone tried to reach out but I freaked out and stumbled back falling to the ground as I was clenching my eyes shut and holding my ears so tight all I could hear was my own thoughts... and the voices... always the voices. "Will call Mark."

"What why?" I looked up to see Dark taking his suit jacket off and I frowned. Who's this Mark?

"Something is wrong and we need help." I watched as Dark draped his jacket over my shoulders calming the shaking I hadn't known I started to do. Will just looked sad as he pulled his phone out. "We're also going to need to get a hold of Sean."

"Sean?" My voice was shaky and Dark's eyes narrowed. "Who's Sean?" They both seemed to freeze up as if I had said the worst thing possible. Had I? I only asked who Sean is? Maybe you should run? Maybe you should hide? Maybe you should... SHUT UP!

"You don't even know Sean?" I shook my head and Dark frowned looking at the ground. "Ok Will, call Mark. Inform him we are coming over. Then see if you can get ahold of any of Sean's egos."

"I only have Chase's number." I narrowed my eyes and frowned. Chase? That was that guy with the gun right? Why was he brought up?

"That's fine... Just make the calls." Dark reached out to help me up and I leaned into him despite the chill. Everything hurt. Everything scared me and they were the only ones that tried to help. So... I latched on to it. Dark wrapped his arms around me and I frowned. "I'm gonna teleport him."

"But it's still..." I swayed on my feet and Will clammed up as Dark held tighter keeping me stable. "K... You go on ahead. I'll meet you there."
