Darkness Helps Me Hide It

Chapter 5: Sad Realization

*Y/N POV*

The guy passed me not bothering to introduce himself first and just went straight to Dark. They started arguing about who knows what. My attention was pointed towards what was outside of the door. I didn't realize that we were is what appeared to be a dead forest. Some trees looked rotten and others were just fine. The aura felt dead. There didn't seem to be any sign of nature. The grass was brown but very overgrown.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I quickly turned around. Facing the man who just came through.

"Are you okay?" Genuine concern in his voice. I saw Dark rolling his eyes.

"W-well I'm alive?" Not completely sure how to really answer his question. Not even 20 minutes ago I was being repeatedly kicked in the stomach by my kidnapper.

"Oh I'm sorry." He responded, realizing that he didn't introduce himself. "I'm Mark." He smiled.

"I'm Y/N." I said back. "Not to be rude but...you seem really familiar." I swear I've seen this guy before. (A/N: as if you didn't notice, I made it so you didn't really know who Markiplier was. Just go along with it, if you please.)

"Oh well I'm a YouTuber, I go by Markiplier." He said proudly.

"I don't really go near social media sites so I really never heard of you. Maybe a video, glances at videos but I'm not really a fan." I stated plainly.

Dark erupted into a mocking laugh and Mark kind of just brushed it off but looked annoyed with Dark.

"That's fine, but I want to talk to you if that's alright with you." He said sounding serious.

"I don't exactly have much of a choice do I?" I just walked to my room passing Dark. When I did I felt a chill go down my spine. Those kinds of random chills you get every once in a while out of no where.

Once we got to the room I sat on my bed and as Mark closed the door  he stood a good distance away giving me personal space.

"He didn't do anything to you did he?" He instantly asked.

"Well being kidnapped me from my home, made me wear a maids outfit to clean the house and gave me a few good kicks to the stomach for stepping out of line. Other than that I am hunky dory." I said with a sarcastic tone.

His mouth kind of opened a bit. "He's...gone pretty easy on you." Sounded impressed with Dark.

"That's lovely Mark. I feel so much better." I said in a low tone.

"Y/N I'm sorry, I can't really help put much. If anything I feel horrible. This isn't the first time he's done this though so that what I'm not as surprised to find you here." He tried to pick up the conversation. "If there's a way I can convince him to let you go ba-"

"No." I cut him off. "I don't think it'll make much difference for me to go back home." I stated plainly.

"What about your family? Your friends?" He questioned.

"Don't have any. Been on on my own since I've been 18 years old." I responded.

"I'm sorry to hear that.." He said not knowing what else to say.

"Look Mark.. I can see that the reason you came here was to help but there's not really much you can do right? Its not the first time someone's physically hurt me, I've been assaulted just for being myself and I've always been somewhat alone. So being stuck here with dark isn't much different. Maybe I get humiliated a bit more but hey, I'm not completely alone anymore right?" I looked at him with a blank expression.

He looked so sad. He looked as if he felt bad for me. He walked over to me and as he put his hands on my shoulders he made me stand up. Before I could say something about personal space he pulled me into a hug.

Its been a while since I've been hugged so this sudden act affection was foreign to me. I eventually hugged back and breathed a sigh of relief.

I broke away to look up and Mark. "Thanks, I guess I needed that."

"No problem Y/N." He smiled down at me.

"Is this little pity party over?" I heard Dakr say and he opened the door. Oh look he made a noise this time. Bravo.

"Shut up Dark. You might be an asshole but can you at least show a slirght bit of compassion? She's been through enough already." He said sounded agitated.

"Um he.." I corrected.

"Huh?" He looked back at me.

"I'm uhh transgender." I said almost in a whisper

"Oh. He's been through enough already." He said correcting himself.

"Oh for the love of- can we just get down to the fight? I wanna see what this pathetic 'thing' is able to do." He said impatiently.

"Fight?" He sounded concerned.

"He's doesn't think I'm able to figgtblike a real man so we made a deal. I get him to say mercy and he'll make me into a man. I lose and I spend the rest of mg life as a living sex doll." I said as if this was an everyday thing that happened.

"Dark that's low. Even for you." He sighed

Flop. Mark fell back into the floor and I went wide eyed. What the hell?

"Alright he'll be out for a while. Probably enough time for me to kick your ass. Let's go." And with that he walked down to the basement. I followed close behind.

My hearts pounding. I'm gonna do something so Risky. Most people probably would've just rather have killed themselves than do something like this. My body started to feel numb as we got to the bottom of the stairs that lead to the basement. Though its too late to back down now.

(A/N: not much happened this time. But please stick out to read about what happens next. I promise to make it full of action and feels.)
