Chapter 19

/Mark's POV\

(Commence dream)

I looked around and found myself to be at the remains of Jack's house. I was holding Karina's limp body, staring at her once lively face. Her once curious eyes. I gave her one last kiss. I stood up, and calmly carried her away from the rubble. I walked into the distance and heard a voice getting louder and louder the farther I walked.
"Mark! Mark wake up!"

I sat right up in bed, causing me to notice I have a huge headache and a searing pain in my stomach. I gave a yelp in pain. Mallori lightly pushed me back into a laying position.

"Mark, you're awake!" I only just noticed her in the room and jumped slightly in surprise to see her.
"Mallori, where are we? What happened?" Mallori sighed.

"Okay first off, you got shot in the stomach and were passed out for almost 2 days. You need to be taking it easy. Second off-" she slapped me. I felt a stinging pain on my left cheek.
"Ow! What was that for Mal?!" Mallori bawled up her fists, apparently trying very hard not to punch me.

"That was for almost getting us killed. Look, I'm sorry but long story short, Jack has gone insane and this guy named Anti has taken over him. Karina died, I fell in love, and you almost got us killed trying to take her body back with us. Right now we are in an abandoned house down the street from Jack's old apartment. Jack, Anti, whatever you want to call him, is terrorizing this place.

He's already destroyed half of the state and people are getting worried. He's enslaving people and killing those who stand up to him. I've just barely got us to survive. Mark, people are freaking out. People are dying because of Anti.

We need to stop him. But for now, you need rest. Sleep well. I just finished changing your bandage so you should be more comfortable. Mallori walked out of the room, leaving me utterly confused. How was I supposed to fall asleep after hearing that?

Then, the memories and emotions came flooding back. The pain and misery of losing Karina, the anger towards Anti for killing her, and now, the grief that she's gone. Me holding her in my arms in her last moments. Our final kiss. Her last words. My meeting with Anti. My addicting need to kill him, torture him, and to make him suffer....

Mallori holding me back. I came out of my thoughts to notice I was crying. I wiped the tears and looked around the room. It looked like it was a kids bedroom. It had red walls and a bookshelf filled with fantasy novels. A toy box at the end of the bed that I was currently in. I looked to my left and saw a desk covered in framed photos. Right next to the bed was a night light.

On my right was an empty closet. I smiled, remembering my childhood bedroom was quite similar to this. I moved to a more comfortable position in the bed and tried to drift off to sleep.

/with the power of undertale time skip\

I woke up to see Mallori sitting by my bed, putting a cold washcloth on my head. She didn't notice I was awake so I decided to scare her. Forgetting the pain in my stomach for a few moments, I sat up and yelled "RAWR" and put my hands into a claw position.

Mallori pulled a Dan and fell backwards of her chair.

She bolted right up and threw the wash cloth at me, it making a weird slapping noise against my shoulder.
"JESUS CHRIST MARK! I SWEAR YOU'RE ALMOST AS BAD AS KA- YOU ARE THE WORST." I fell back onto the bed and giggled, even though it made my body ache with pain. Mallori sighed with relief, happy Mark didn't hear her almost say Karina. I looked at the wash cloth laying on my right shoulder and found my opportunity to strike. "I guess you could say I have a..." I paused for effect." COLD shoulder"

.........

"I hate you Mark."

I smiled.

"Hey Mal, what happened on that day? When anti took over Jack. The last thing I remember before the explosion was walking into the living room to see you and jack kissing. That actually happened, right?"

Mal's checks turned a rosy pink and replied,
"Ya, that actually did happen. But I bet you want to hear the full story, After me texting you and everything." She said it as more of a statement rather than a question, but I answered,
"Yes, I do want to know. Can you tell me?"

"Sure. Where do I begin?"
