If Love Defined Evil

Working Things Out

Mark's/Dark's POV

I gave another sigh and looked up at him. He was merely waiting. Then I felt myself splitting. The gash-like line on my torso grew wider until it covered my entire body, making it completely dark.

Dark's POV

I stepped from Mark's body as the dark figure, leaving his normal figure in place. Then mine went to it's normal looking state. I looked away from him, not wanting to keep eye contact. I awaited his response.

"There's a reason I left you, Dark..." He began. Noticing I wouldn't look up at him, he leaned down a bit to get my attention. "Do you know that reason?" He asked. I never really did know why.

I shook my head. He kept his arms crossed. "Because you disappointed me, Dark. You thought you were more powerful than anything. And what did you do? You went out of your way to prove it."

"Please don't bring that up again-"

"No, I think I need to bring this up. You hurt everyone, Dark. You hurt me..."

"I didn't want to, ok!?" I shouted at him.

"Jack's exact words..." He said with a straight face.  I wanted to pummel him in anger at this point. "You tricked me...and that's why he did what he did. You knew where I was this whole time."

"I get it, I get it!! I was an asshole ok!? Is that what you want to hear!?" I yelled at him. "That's all I can get out of you..." I covered my face with my hand, not wanting him to see how much I yearned to cry.

He'd put me in a corner and I couldn't get out of it. We were made to kill...but not to our own kind. Not to who we represented as our characters: Mark, and Jack. Not to who they truly cared for. But I thought differently.

"I...I just...couldn't..." I struggled to even speak to him. Yet I didn't dare let myself cry. "I couldn't...bare...two thousand years without a single, word from you..." I finally admitted.

"Trust me, I tried...but you've seemed to have forgotten just how long that is..." I continued. As much as a demon we both were, I was always the worst. And I loved it for the time that I was. "Anti, we weren't meant to be good!"

"We also weren't meant to hurt one another! You knew who I was, Dark and that still fucking annoys me!! You didn't bother to even try to speak to me directly, no. Instead you planned to make me kill Jack's parents! And so help me I would've killed Mark just to get rid of you!!!"

I looked at him in shock. "We've been given different persons over the years...I've killed, yes...but never towards my own person." He continued. I stayed silent not wanting to argue any longer.

"This has gone on long enough...I'm letting Jack take over..."

"No! Please..." I grabbed onto his arm. "I don't want this to be what you see me as...Anti you know that...you know that I love you...and I know I've done the most shittiest possible thing anyone, even a first class demon could do...but..."

"But what?" He asked. "But I can change..." I told him, grabbing hold of his hand. "You had years to change...but look at you..."I grabbed hold of his other hand. "Please...step out of there so that I can speak to only you..." I requested.

He kept an angry expression, but did as I requested and stepped out of Jack's body. Jack stumbled a little, but caught himself. He backed away a few steps and stayed there. I put my attention back on Anti.

"It's enough that we're the only demons who actually grew feelings for one another. Let alone I did everything wrong to ruin it. But...I want it back..." He looked down. "As much as I want to, I-"

" 'I don't like this side of you. You've become too much for me and the rest of us to handle. I really wanted this to work out, but it's hopeless. As of today, I feel it's best we go our separate ways, but I hope someday you learn from your mistakes.' " I quoted.

He looked surprised. "You...remember all I said that day..." He said quietly. I nodded. "And today is that someday...I promise you...for as long as I exist...I'll never be that stupid again...and if I'm to ever break that promise...that will be the day I no longer exist..."

He looked up at me and was no longer angry. "You...really mean that...?" He asked. I nodded and smiled. "Do you forgive me?" I asked him. He bit his lip and looked down, then back up at me.

 He smiled nodded. Right after he did, I leaned in and kissed him. I heard Jack whistle as he saw us. We laughed as we pulled away. Anti turned to face him. "I apologize about your friends. It was a mistake." He told him.

"Oh, um...yeah...I...completely understand...I just wish it hadn't happened though..." He looked down. I thought for a moment and got an idea. "Is there a way we can bring them back?" I asked Anti.

"I'm not sure...no one's ever tried before." He answered turning back to me. "Has anyone ever..." I held his hand up with my own and tried something. I began to be part of him, like I was with Mark.

Anti's eyes widened. "We're..."

"Becoming one." I finished his sentence. It had never been done before. Not until now. A bright light formed as the process continued. In less than a minute, we'd become one being.

Mark's POV

I was on the ground listening to them the whole time. From their argument to now. I couldn't believe what all had been happening, now I was seeing them merge into one. I stood up as I watched them.

When the transformation was done, they looked like one huge, dark, and kind of cool looking demon thing. Jack and I looked at them in awe. "We're...stronger than we've ever been...Maybe...just maybe...we could use this power to bring them back." They spoke.

"You can do that!?" I asked in shock. "Time to find out." They closed their eyes and began to try and do something.
