A/N I figured it would be easier to do a part 2 than editing the chapter before 

(Anti's POV)

"Okay," I mumbled while lifting my hands. I concentrated and a green force started to build up in my hands. The force could easily knock a human off their feet. The green mass started to glow and it was time to release. I shot the mass at Jack. He stumbled but managed to stay standing. It should have knocked him down. That's not supposed to happen unless... "Guys, back away from it, now..." I demanded.

"'It' is Jack, and he has a name," Dark said defensively.

"That," I said pointing to the creature, "That's not Jack."

"Anti, what's wrong with you! Show some respect. Jack's our friend, not some vicious creature!" Dark started walking towards it. It spoke up.

"Yeah, Anti. Show yer ol' pal Jackaboy some compassion," The voice was extremely deep, but still held the Irish accent of Sean's. Dark ran towards me and leaped into my arms. (Had to, sorry not sorry)

"Never mind. Hold me!" I stumbled, but didn't drop him.

"Dang it, Dark," I muttered under a breath. 

"Anti, w-what happened to Jack?" Mark asked scared. I dropped Dark- he was still clinging to me- and opened my mouth t speak.

"Why, Jack's fine. It doesn't matter though, yer never gonna see him 'gain," I was about to punch the darn thing in it's face, but Mark beat me to it. 

"Like heck I won't!" And with that, Mark sent a fist flying to his face.

"M-Mark?" Jack's voice spoke through, barely a whisper. 

"J-Jacky?" Mark whispered. "Oh my God, Jack! I-I'm sor-" Mark babbled until he was cut off.

"Ahh!" Jack cried, holding his chest as if someone shot him. He fell on the ground, suddenly silent. A tear rolled down Mark's cheek.

"Jack?" Mark suddenly got extremely angry. Furious, even. "Why does this have to happen?! Why to Sean?! Of all people, why him?!"

"Mark, calm down." 

"No, Anti! Sean is the nicest person I've ever met! He doesn't deserve this!" Mark fumed.

"Umm... I didn't say anything." Mark then spun around and smiled at what he saw. He ran over and hugged Jack.

"Jack, oh my God! Are you okay?" Mark rambled. Mark started to bury Jack in kisses.

"Get a room!"

"Mark, I'm fine!" Jack said shrugging him off. He seemed to notice something. "Hey, Anti, why do I still have my eyesight?" His eyes went wide, "Please tell me you don't have to leave!"

"Jack, you're not fine. You're not safe here... We need to leave." I grabbed Jack's arm. He pulled away.

"Anti, what the heck is going on?" Jack demanded. He crossed his arms.

"I'll tell ya later, but we need to go now," I growled.

"No. I'm not leaving until I know what's wrong!"  That's when a black mist started to circle Jack's feet. Mark yanked Jack away from it and threw him over his shoulder. "Maerk, put me down!" Jack started to flail around, soon realizing it didn't help. He looked back and noticed the mist. "What is t'at!"

"That's the reason we need to leave. Sean, something went wrong and not even I know what it's capable of. It could be anything..."

"Anti, what's wrong with your eye?"

"What do you mean, Dark?"

"It's... glowing."

"You sure it's not the lighting?"

"What lighting? It's midnight!" Jack laughed.

"Or really early i the mornin'..." I chuckled.

"Not the time. But seriously, wha-" He was interrupted by a loud gunshot. Then another. 

"What ta heck was t'at?!" Jack yelled.

"It sounded like a gunshot," I replied while starting to run the opposite way. Dark caught up instantly, fallowed by Mark and Jack.

"Who the heck would be shooting a gun this late?!"

"Dark, really? How am I supposed to know?" I paused and turned to him. He stopped, too. "Dark, stay with Mark and Jack. Don't worry about me."

"Anti, (it's dangerous to go alone) I'm not leaving you!" 

Mark spoke up. "We're not leaving either."

"Guys, I'll be o-"

"ANTI! SNAP OUTTA IT! YE'RE GONNA GET YESELF KILLED! WE'RE NOT LEAVING YE!" Jack yelled. I finally gave in, knowing there was no way to change their minds. (Screams lyrics: they can't change the locks don't let them change your mind! I'm not sorry)

"Okay. Let go then!"
