Green eyes shone menacingly from within the darkness.

Sean showed Evelien his findings, muttering about how that this was worse than he thought. Actor had called Anti to deal with it last minute, so that he could keep their mouths shut. Originally, the plan was to get the egos first, THEN Sean and Evelien... But it didn't really matter... What mattered was making sure things go their way.

Anti gave a deep growl, alerting them of his presence. Sean yelped and grabbed Evelien, getting up to run... But Anti teleported over to block their exit, his eyes filled to the brim with spite, clouding his gaze. He gave one sickening grin, before getting it over with.

Unfortunately, Sean shrieked and alerted the others.

It seemed plans would have to speed up a bit.

------------

Actor sneered at the glitch.

He came back with all four... But Actor supposed he couldn't help that. "If you'd have answered the phone SOONER... This wouldn't have happened, glitch-bitch!" Anti snarled with rage, "OH, FOOK OFF, YA KAREN BASTARD! I'M NOT YER GODDAMN PET, I CAN'T BE WITH YA TWENTY-FOUR SEVEN, CAN I!?" Anti was out of breath and NOT in a good mood... But even he recognized his mistake.

He slightly cowered as Actor grabbed him by the neck, cutting off his air. Anti wheezed and subconsciously struggled, the grip was too tight! 

"Watch your mouth... PET... How many times have we BEEN OVER THIS... Remember... I. Can. Kill. You. At. ANY. Goddamn. SECOND!" Actor's eyes turned black as his grip tightened more, causing the glitch to stop struggling. Submissive. 

Actor's eyes turned back to normal as he sneered, "but I don't... You're lucky." He put Anti down on the floor almost too gently, patting him on the head, "good boy."

Anti coughed and gagged, tears springing to his eyes as he attempted to breathe. He loosely held his throat and choked out a high-pitched whine. The Septics stared in disgust at the sight before them, Henrik trembling a bit... Rage mixed with his parental and doctor instincts, and every single atom in his body was screaming at him to help Anti... Or just straight out beat the shit out of Actor. 

But he couldn't.

No one could do anything about it.

And suddenly, the thing they had all joked about- Anti being Actor's little 'pet'- became all too real.

"Anti... Why do you work for him...? It doesn't have to be this way! Look at what he's done to you!" Sean yelled, shaking his head in outrage. 

Actor gave a deep, rumbling laugh, "oh! What I'VE done to him? Oh, you crack me up! Oh, dear Sean... You have hurt him far more than I ever could... I've been here to UNDERSTAND and HELP him... Meanwhile... Where were YOU? You say that what I'm doing to him is SO BAD... But, while I've had him in my clutches, where were you to save him? Who was worrying or even CARING about what he was going through...? The PAIN and TORTURE he was going through? Certainly not you."

Actor stepped towards the YouTuber, "let me tell you something... You've only added to his pain... What YOU put him through... He's willing to do ANYTHING to pay you back for. YOU broke him... Not me. And the only reason you even PRETEND to care now is because YOUR LIFE is on the line. It doesn't have to be this way...? How hypocritical. What were you planning to do again...? Hmm..."

Actor turned back around and walked up to Anti, who was still trembling on the floor. "Do YOU remember?" Anti didn't answer, he couldn't even look up at the actor. Actor growled and kneeled down next to the glitch.

Sean cried out in horror as Actor grabbed Anti by the hair, forcing the other to look at him. "ANSWER ME!... What were they going to do to you if they caught you, Anti? Even BEFORE you did anything terrible... Back when you were just causing mischief. I know you remember."

Anti coughed a bit more but was finally able to speak, "k... Kill me..." He rasped out the answer, voice hardly a whisper. But everyone heard it, and everyone knew it to be true.

"And that's not all... Anti, remind them why you hate them."

Tears fell down the glitch's face as he glared hatefully towards the Septics, muttering a few words that changed their perspectives forever.

Sean felt his heart drop.

This really WAS all his fault.
