3rd person POV
Mark rushed into the house full of enemies. He ran through the front door, ready to fight anyone that was there. After a few minutes of searching for the keys, Mark spotted Jack climbing through the kitchen window. He spotted them and picked them up, stuffing them in his back pocket.
The jingling of the keys must have alerted one of the enemies, because one of them was on top of him, attacking him is a matter of seconds.
"Ha!" The man spoke as he pinned Jack on the ground. "Oh, you're the kid that almost caught us so many years ago. It's so sad that you can't avenge you're family anymore... But not really"
As the man spoke, Jack filled with the most intense combination of fear and pure hatred that he had ever felt. It was like a burning fire had sparked in his sole and could only be put out by the most extreme pain and suffering inflicted on the other person. He breathed out a puff of green smoke when the man put a chloroform soaked towel over his nose and mouth.
"Boss, we could use this one" the man said to another man in a dark cloak as they both let out an evil laugh.
Mark was paralyzed as he watched the whole thing. Because they were hurting Jack, he filled with the same scalding fire of hatred that Jack had also felt. As Mark let out a breath, it formed into a red cloud in front of him and turned into a person. This person honestly looked like a demon version of himself, with dark red eyes, a sinister smirk, and ripped black clothes. As he smirked at Mark, he showed his razor sharp teeth and just winked before he faded away back into smoke.
Mark watched as the men left Jack on the floor because they would gather him later and he stealthily creeped toward Jack. Once the men were out of the kitchen, Mark went up to Jack and picked him up bridal style.
Jack had the keys, so they didn't need to be in the house anymore.
Once at the car, Mark reached into Jack's back pocket and grabbed the keys (something he wouldn't have done if Jack was awake😏). Mark buckled Jack into the passenger seat and turned on the car.
