Jack's POV (Ooh a change!)

When Jack woke up the next morning, which was quite early, Mark wasn't in the cell. So Jack instinctively went looking for him, he hadn't left Marks side since he admitted to being gay, he had to admit he was attracted to Mark.

He eventually found him in the library reading a book in the corner of the room, the same table they had been at last time they were in here.

Jack all but stomped over to Mark, he was slightly agitated, he was not a morning person and in this place we weren't allowed to have coffee. Which Jack found horrifying.

Mark looked up as Jack sat down and nodded at him and closing his book after he put his book mark in and sat it down beside him.

"Hello Jack" Mark said in his usual deep, emotionless voice. He was fantastic at hiding his emotions from people which Jack envied him for.

"Hey Mark." He replied staring at the table, he never liked making eye contact with people, especially intimidating ones like Mark.

"What are you doing up so early?" Mark asked staring at him, it was like he could read Jack like a book. It unnerved him greatly.

"I woke up. Obviously." I hit back making a 'duh' face. Mark raised an eyebrow and looked slightly amused, Jack mentally applauded himself for getting Mark to show some emotion.

"Now now no need to get all snappy with me." Mark mused not moving his eyes from Jack.

I guess you could say they were 'best friends'

"Whatever" Jack mumbled looking away from Mark and towards the doors of the library which had just opened, two men walked in. Both covered in tattoos and supported menacing stares. One of the men was about 6'4 and the other around 6'0, the tallest had red hair with a beard and had beady eyes. The other one had shaggy dull blonde hair with squinted eyes, both not that appealing.

Feeling slightly threatened Jack kept his eyes locked onto the men, Jack could feel Mark watching him cautiously.

One of the men looked over and saw Jack watching them.

"What are you lookin' at kid?" His voice was scratchy, a voice that would come from a man that had been smoking for about fifty years and made Jack want to cringe in disgust.

"T' fuck do yeh t'ink" His accent was always more heavy when he was annoyed, which sometimes only amused people because they couldn't understand what he was saying

Mark stayed silent as he watched the encounter with unblinking eyes. Jack knew Mark would only intervene if one the men went at him.

The two men looked angrily at Jack and walked towards him and Mark. Mark sat up slightly ready to jump up.

"Got ourselves an Irish kid aye Derek" the tallest guy said to Derek with a slightly sinister smile and crazy, hungry eyes as he eyed Jack angrily.

"The Irish ones have always tasted better." Derek said also supporting a sinister smile.

Oh yeah, they're cannibals by the way.

Jack's eyes narrowed but didn't even seem to be unnerved by the words in the slightest. He stood up straighter and even though he only reached the man's chest still managed to make the man take a step back.

Mark watched them with careful eyes, not blinking once.

"I think we should teach this Irish fuck a lesson." Derek said menacingly.

Next thing Jack knew a fist was flying at him, being taken by surprise he flinched and closed his eyes.

But nothing happened. Jack opened his eyes hesitantly to see the back of Marks head who had the Derek's fist in a death grip, his nails were digging into Derek's hand and Jack could see blood arising from under Marks nails.

Mark reached and grabbed the other man's shirt and pulled him down to his height and leaned in close to them.

Mark's POV

"Now you two listen very close because I will not repeat myself" this wasn't Mark speaking. It was Dark, his echoy voice seemed to come from everywhere "if either of you EVER fucking go anywhere near Jack I. Will. Kill. You slowly and painfully. Do I make myself clear?" His voice was low and threatening and tightened his grip on them

The two men nodded fearfully watching Mark. Mark stared them down for a good 5 seconds before pushing them both away and watching as they stumbled to the door and out of sight.

"Mark? Why are yer eyes black?"
