Alter Ego

Chapter 13

Mark's PoV:

They've been gone for hours now. I'm starting to get worried about Jack. What is she doing to him. He seems so... Protective of her. It annoys me. I don't know why...

Ugh...

I saw a black cloud of smoke in a mirror and turned around quickly.

"Sup Markimoo. How's it going?"

"Ugh... Can't you just leave me alone."

"Nope your too fun to mess with. How's things going here. Any new people, neighbours, roommates, ya know?"

"I know what you mean Dark. We haven't got anyone except this girl."

"Really. What's her name?"

"Baby. It's so stupid. She's not even a baby anymore, she's 16 years old and is much more mature than me but then... She's immature as well." I forgot that Dark and her knew each other. Great.

"I can always... Take her if you want. Take her back down to hell and finish her off like the rest of her family."

"Nah it's fine. Her and Jack have a really good friendship. I don't want to ruin it."

Dark grumbled darkly.

"Fine. I'm gonna go but this isn't the last time I'll be here. The longer you keep her around, the worst its gonna get for you. Anyway, see ya loser."

He puffed off and left me alone with my thoughts.

What does he mean it's gonna get worse? Why does he care so much? Why can't he...

My thoughts get cut of as I hear the door open, as well as laughing.

"You guys took forever. Where were you."

"We got my hair dyed then got sushi. We looked around the shops for a bit too. Getting to know each other a bit." Jack said smiling.

"Why are you so worried Mark?"

"Because maybe I just don't trust you enough yet. I mean you just walked into our lives with no warning."

"Well I'm sorry it was such a problem that I have no where to go. No one to turn to. I'm sorry my life is such a mess. I'm sorry that your dark sides killed my whole family." With that she ran upstairs with tears in her eyes. She seemed so hurt.

I watched Jack call out to her before quickly turning back to me.

"I can't believe you." He said angrily.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt her." I almost burst into tears.

"Mark you need to apologise. She's really fragile about her family, you know that."

"I know, I'm sorry."

"It's ok but it's not me you need to say sorry to."

"I know. Hey, uh... Today I had a visit from Dark. He said that its gonna get worst for us the longer she's around. I think they're planning something."

"Mark don't worry about it right now. Just go say sorry." With that he walked into the kitchen. I walked slowly up the stairs.

I came to her door and heard muffled crying. I knocked gently before walking in.

"Go away."

"Look, I'm really sorry for what I said. I guess... I guess I just got freaked out by what Dark said earlier."

"What'd he say?" She said looking up from her knees.

"That uhh... Things are gonna get worst the longer you stay here. He also said this isn't the last time he'll be here."

Baby's PoV:

"We need to go."

"What?"

"Mark, it's not safe here anymore. Dark and Anti will stop at nothing to hurt me, even if that means hurting you two. We need to go."

"That's crazy."

"Please Mark, I don't wanna see you two get hurt."

"We'll be fine!" His voice changed from the smooth, chocolate sound to a deep, rough noise. "What the hell was that." He cupped his hands around his mouth.

"Darks trying to get control."

"How do we stop it?"

"Getting away from here. Start packing some stuff. Do you know anyone we can go to?"

"I do."

"Great. Well let's get Jack onboard and get going."

"Got it." He ran to his room to probably start packing. I ran downstairs to see Jack watching re-runs of ' Rick and Morty'.

"Jack, can you do me a favour?" I asked in a sing-song voice.

"What is it?"

"We kinda need to go so could you start packing?"

"What? Why?"

"Because Dark's trying to kill me and he's gonna hurt you two and he's trying to take control of Mark." I rambled. It felt like I had no control of what I was saying.

"Ok, I'll start packing. Do you know where we're going?"

"Mark's figuring that out."

-time skip bitches-

We were driving for what like hours, in complete silence.

"Mark where are we going?" Jack questioned, breaking the silence.

"You'll see when we get there. It's not far now." He kept his eyes on the road, not bothering to look at Jack. He has been acting weird ever since Dark tried to take over him.

"Mark are you ok?"

"I'm fine Jack. Please, just let me focus."

"Ok." Jack said defeated.

Something was going on in Mark's brain I just didn't know what...

That was my downfall...
