A/N: I'm working on a new story called 'Genocide'! It's another Septiplier (obviously) and I don't want to reveal too much, but the prologue is out now, so check it out if you're interested!(:

"Mark, could you come out here?" Jack finally called for me and I sighed thankfully, making my way towards the door, Eli trailing behind me. "Alone, please!"

"Sucker," I smirked, knowing Dark was bound to torment Eli out of boredom while I was out with Jack, Felix, and Ida in the living room. Chica followed me closely, keeping a close eye on the zombie/demon hybrid thing in our bedroom. I assumed she could sense the negativity radiating off him, as animals tend to be sensitive to that type of shit I guess. I stepped into the living room to see Jack's back to me, talking to Felix. I went up behind him and wrapped my arms around his slim waist, kissing his cheek. "Hey, sweetheart."

"Hi," He giggled and grinned brightly as I let go and looked at Felix, who seemed scared out of his skin. "So Felix said he wants to leave and I don't blame him."

"I-I'm back to being terrified of you, Mark, and I need to get back to Marzia and the pugs in order to calm back down and that-that thing or whatever the fuck that is in your bedroom freaks the living shit out of me - I want that thing as far away from me as possible, fucking terrifying. What is it anyway? A zombie?" Felix asked, a concerned expression crossing his face. "What does it classify under because it certainly isn't fucking human."

"Don't worry about it, we have it under control," I assured him and put an arm around Jack to keep myself from freaking out with Felix. 

"Under control? I don't think you realize that this is beyond any of us. If you told me back when I started YouTube that I would meet these friends named Jack and Mark and they would bring a person back to life and put a demon soul in it, I'd tell you you're a fucking wacko and need to be locked away or some bullshit. You're just people, guys! You're not professionals or anything with things like this. You need to get rid of this problem and fast," Felix shook his head, gripping the sides of it with his hands. "This isn't normal."

"Has anything ever been normal?" Jack pipped up, earning a shocked expression from Felix.

"Have you completely lost your mind?! It was normal before Mark went psycho for you, it was normal after we left the mental facility, it was normal when you moved here and calmed down, it could be that way again. This isn't our lives - our lives are filled with YouTube, each other, our fans, friends, family- not some zombie fucking Frankenstein shit." 

"Okay, it's not normal, we know it's not, but this wasn't our choice. If I could change anything, I wouldn't because I can't - I can't control Dark, he's a huge wild card in this stupid game we're playing. You can go, you've played your part and did what you could, you deserve a break from this madness," I sighed, looking down to the floor, wanting to comfort Felix, but knew he was still terrified of me because of Dark's mind games. 

"Thank you, I'm leaving tomorrow, but staying in town tonight. I can't spend another minute here, I'm sorry," He apologized, though he didn't need to. Jack and I were in too deep with this situation, no need for us to drag Felix down with us. "I'm going to pack my bag, so... could you... somehow get that thing out of here for a while?" 

"Mark shall take him out for a walk, Jack will help you pack, meanwhile I must be leaving as well," Ida spoke up and stood up, getting off the couch.

"You too? What do we do with Eli or Dark or... whatever?" I asked and she sighed deeply.

"I suggest you keep him hidden until he begins to look more alive than dead, after that, he is free to go wherever he may please. He is his own person now," She explained and I nodded, frowning, knowing we'll have to keep Dark/Eli for however long.

"How long do you think it'll be until he's out of here?" I asked and she appeared as though she was thinking about it. 

"There is no telling. Normally, about a month, but considering Eli is accompanied by a much stronger spirit - Dark - he may heal much faster," She said and I nodded again.

"Alright. I guess I better go get Eli- or Dark?- for that walk," I sighed loudly and Felix excused himself to the bathroom, quickly scurrying away and locking himself in it. I headed back to the bedroom as Ida and Jack began saying their farewells. I barged into the room, briefly startling Eli, who tried to play it cool afterwards. "Come on, we're going for a walk. Felix doesn't want to see you."

"Understandable," Eli smiled and followed be out into the living room. Ida came up to me and scooped me into a huge hug, squeezing me until my lungs couldn't reach air.

"You've been a good boy, Mark. I am so happy to have been some help for you, sweet baby. I am not sure if we will see each other again, but try to keep that gold aura about you - it is rare," She smiled, letting go of me. I went to kiss her cheek, then went to hug Jack.

"Give Felix a hug for me, won't you? Considering I can't say goodbye," I requested and he nodded. "Thanks, sweetheart. I'll be back soon. I may as well take Chica too."

"She seems to really want to go with," Jack noticed as she started wagging her tail once she heard her name. "Don't be gone too long, Felix should be out in under a half an hour. I worry about you."

"I'll be back before you know it, sweetheart," I smiled and kissed his cheek again before slipping on my shoes. "I love you."

"Kisses?" Jack asked, giving me adorable, innocent, blue eyes that made my heart melt. I pecked his lips with mine and nodded.

"Kisses."
