The Dark Mark

In the hospital

My eyes were penetrated by a bright light as I opened them. I tried to raise my head and look at my surroundings, but a spear of pain shot through my neck. What happened?

All I remember is Mark... he'd gone dark... Dark!! I shot upright in what seemed to be a bed, soon regretting that decision

"Ah!!" I yelled, grabbing my neck and lying back down. Why did I do that?? As I began to lose myself in my thoughts, two nurses rushed in.

They smiled at me before beginning with the wires I hadn't realised I was hooked up too. My head was still a little hazy, so I didn't see everything going on around me. I tried to remember everything about Dark but nothing came to mind. Except his blood red eyes. Those eyes seemed to have an ability to tear all existence apart.

Hours after waking up, the doctor came to check on me. He checked my physical health and was pleased by what he saw. But then he asked me about what happened in the asylum. I hesitated, what should I say? I can't tell him that it was a demon that attacked me because he would think I'm crazy - like Mark.

I simply said that Mark had lost his temper when I took food to him. The doctor seemed to buy the lie.

After the checkup, the doctor said I could leave in a couple days. It was to make sure my wound around my neck healed properly.

All I had to worry about now was Mark... and Dark...
