SeptiplierAntiseptiplier: New Year New Me

Chapter 29

Jack's POV (back to the present)

I feel like a void in my life has just been filled. After I woke up from that shed, I wondered around under the name of Jack and went back to school.

The thought of it being amnesia never dawned upon me until this very moment. I forgot all about my title of Antisepticeye when I finally became conscious.

I stared at Mark with visible horror in my eyes as my jaw dropped slightly. He sneaked behind Chad and yanked him off of me.

Mark clawed at Chad's face with sharp black nails. Soon his hands and claws became covered in warm blood. A potent iron scent filled the hallways.

Then I saw something in Mark's glowing dark crimson eyes. It was like he couldn't control himself. He gave a sharp toothy grin and a small chuckle.

Then Mark did something unexpected, he dug his nails into Chad's face and popped his left eye out with his thumb. His optic nerve was visible to me from the spot I was standing.

I was frozen in place. I am well aware that Chad would have beaten me if Mark hadn't stepped in, but this seems a little extreme. I simply stared at the sight and nothing more.

Mark twisted the optic nerve before ripping it messily out of his skull. Chad's eye dropped on the linoleum floor and an oddly gentle splat sound was heard.

Mark snapped out of it once the deed was finally done and his giggling ceased when he saw the fearful look on my face. He held out an arm as to say "don't leave me"

I ran out the door and Mark quickly chased after me. He stopped me right in my tracks as he pulled me into a hug from behind. Something I did not expect out of him.

I soon realised he was crying into my back and was repeating the words "don't leave me".

I turned around to look at him. This was very odd and confusing to me, the man that almost killed me two years ago and gouged out a boy's eye, was bawling his eyes out.

Not knowing what to do or thinking clearly, I hugged him and stroked his back. I should hate him. I know that, but I can't bring myself to for some reason unknown to me.

"I will never leave you, Mark...I promise." I gave him a pat on the back as he only squeezed me harder.

"R..R...Really" His eyes were being drowned in his own tears at this point.

I looked into Mark's eyes with both fading sadness and a faint smile.

Then Mark surprised me once more.

He kissed me.
