Trauma Virus

The Ritual

Dark sent a text to Anti to come over. 

He hadn't wanted to but with Actor breathing down his neck, he had to suck it up and do what he had to.

To get Celine back.

Anti didn't want to go over. He hated everything around him lately, especially Dark. He didn't want anything to do with anyone.

But there was still a little piece inside of him that was afraid that Dark could still hurt the Septics again. Maybe kill them this time.

That little part of him overrode everything, no matter how much he denied it.

He didn't tell anyone where he was going.

He glitched to Dark's office.

Dark had a familiar look on his face that Anti didn't like.

"The hell do you want, Dark?"

"What do I want?" Dark's face contorted, forcing himself to get angrier than he wanted.

He had to do this.

Anti felt it in the air, his overwhelming aura challenging him.

He wasn't ready for that.

"I want to remind you  . . . . who the boss is here, you filthy, stupid little glitch-bitch"

Dark appeared before Anti, reeling his arm back with all his strength so he couldn't fight back.

Even with the monster inside of Anti, Dark would always be stronger than him.

July 2020

"Alright, are we all ready?" Marvin looked around, "Anti, come on, man. Get up"

Anti sighed heavily but got up off the couch without a fight.

He hadn't had much of a fight lately if at all.

He just did whatever anyone wanted no questions asked. He didn't even talk at all anymore unless asked a question.

His skin was looking a little odd but no one realized how good Anti had gotten with make-up, covering all the bruises.

The only good thing Actor had shown him.

Jackie still felt something was happening but he couldn't prove it. Not yet.

Since he had asked that favor several months ago from the androids and the Jims, they had run into some problems.

They didn't know that Google had placed cameras in all of the rooms years ago but for some reason, all the footage in Dark's office was encrypted. Unopenable.

It was as if Dark knew that room was being watched.

That's where Google and Bing came in to try and fix it but it would take a long time. The Jims, however, placed another hidden camera in Dark's office just recently and it confirmed that Dark knew about the one Google had placed.
