"Oh, you look so angered, Mark. Why are you so upset?" Dark asked innocently, bating Felix's eyelashes flirtatiously. It was insanely disturbing to see something like that on Felix's body - he wasn't like that at all. "Is it because I look like Felix? Oh, if only, if only I were finally a demon. I could change his form for you - speak in tongue, I could break out of these measly little ropes... but alas, I'm simply a damned spirit, destined for something greater."
"So if you're a sprit, doesn't that mean you were human once?" I asked, genuinely wanting to know more about the ghost who was inside of me for however long - the length of time he was with me is still unknown.
"Yes, as we all were. What do you think this is? Some kind of nonsense fairy tale where animals talk and princes rescue their damsel in distress?" Dark chuckled, causing me to sigh at his personality. "You know, I am you and you are me."
"What?" I asked, growing profoundly at his statement.
"For too long now I have been dead. I died over a hundred years ago, only a few decades ago being able to possess a body, but not a demon, as much as that disappoints me. About twenty some odd years ago, I came across a young boy with raven hair and curious brown eyes. His aura was easily changeable and he was at that ripe age of learning. I possessed the boy - the first vessel of my choosing, making him the closest thing to my actual body - a bond forming."
"You're saying you possessed me when I was just a kid?" I asked, sadness lacing my voice as I further realized Dark really was apart of me and I him.
"Yes. You grew up with me and I headed towards my demonic form with you, making us share each other's feelings and characteristics. You ever wonder why you can get so angry at the littlest things?" He chuckled and I sighed, not needing him to continue explaining. "Then, Jack came along."
"What about Jack? What role does he play? You better stay away from him when you get into Eli's body," I threatened, making him chuckle again.
"He is your soulmate, but you and I - our souls are one, making him mine as well," He smirked and I felt the urge to hit something, but settled with heading towards the door, needing some fresh air and bring agitated enough to the point where I could hardly worry if he escapes. "There's one more thing you need to know, I wouldn't storm out just yet."
"What?! Spit it out before I end up hitting you!" I snapped, my hands clenching into fists.
"The murders... they weren't just me, you know. I never would've hurt those people if it weren't for the genuine anger you felt towards them. I may have been wielding the knife, but you were the one encouraging me to press on," He smiled and I felt tears pricking my eyes.
"It was not my fault. You were the one who did it! Even if they were my thoughts, I never would've acted on them! Does anyone really think I would've held a knife to Jack's throat and hold him hostage? Beat Felix? Try to kill him? Fuck no!" I wanted to lash out and raised my fist to him.
"Would you really hit Felix? He feels the pain to his body as well," Dark laughed and I prevented myself from striking him, no matter how deeply I wanted to. Felix didn't deserve to be hurt. "I'll make a little deal with you. I won't tell Jack you played a role in the murders, if you turn a blind eye after I get Eli's body and allow me to spend a little time with him, hmm?"
"Fuck no. I'd rather him think I'm a monster than let you put one filthy fucking hand on him!" I snapped and stepped closer to him, before hearing a small gasp behind me. I turned to see Jack, a stunned expression across his face. He slowly stepped up to me and hugged me tightly. "Sweetheart, why are you hugging me? I'm a fucking monster!"
"No, Mark, you're not. I don't believe a word he says, I know you. Even if you did play a part in the murders, I've stayed by your side for so long now, without any recognition of Dark. It'd be hard to accept again, but I could do it," He mumbled softly and I kissed his forehead, pulling him in for another hug, when Dark spat at us, the saliva spraying all over my arm. I glared at him, making him roll his eyes.
"Get a bloody room!" Dark snarled, making Jack giggle a bit. I was surprised he wasn't as intimidated of Dark as I seemed to be.
"I have a question, Mr. Dark, sir," Jack smiled.
"Fire away, hot cakes," Dark grinned and I cringed at the weird nickname.
"If you were in Mark the whole time, why did his medication work?"
"It was all an illusion. I stopped affecting him when he started using the medication," Dark explained. I was again surprised by the fact that he was willing to share information - but seemed stingy when it came to his time alive.
"Thanks, Mr. Dark. I'll ask you more questions when they come to mind," Jack smiled again and tossed a blanket over his head.
"You seriously threw a fucking blanket over my head?!" Dark sneered, Jack smiled at me.
"Yup! So you can't see this..." He trailed off and kissed me softly.
"What? What the fuck are you doing?" Dark asked and I bursted out laughing. It was nice to make something silly out of an extremely disturbing situation. Jack really lightened the room with his antics and it was something I deeply needed to keep myself sane. "I can still smell you, sweetheart... don't think you're completely hidden from me, Jackaboy."
"I must be smelly then, I'm gonna go shower," Jack smiled and kissed my cheek. He went into the kitchen and grabbed a plastic bag to put over his cast and sent me a wink. I was happy he wasn't entirely upset anymore - maybe he was warming up to my plan and felt it was a good idea as long as it got Felix back.
