In Control (Markiplier/Jacksepticeye/Pewdiepie Horror Fiction)

Chapter 11: A Fallen Petal

We got out of Nebiros' room, and oh boy do I feel bad and the feeling of guilt risen as I saw a beautiful painting on the door, he just wanted to have a life. Not this piece of crap they call home, I sighed deeply and thought about Jack. 'Where could he be gone?' I asked myself, but my thought was cut short as we walked into this long hallway.

Many pictures and paintings were hung up in the wall, their faces looked familiar.  That one looks like Nebiros but he seemed... Normal?  We stopped walking and took a closer look at the painting.  It has a blurry figure beside him, they seemed like they're having fun.  For the first time I saw Nebiros... Happy, the guilt took over me and sighed once again. I looked at Felix who was examining the paintings as well.

I just realized that all the paintings here are Nebiros with the blurry figure, as I look closely I saw a small signature on the bottom right, it says "Faustius" hmm... Maybe it's his real name.

After examining a billion of paintings we came across this large painting of Nebiros and the man beside him but this time he wasn't blurred out, I can see his features clearly.  Yes he was attractive and very muscular, Him and Nebiros or 'Faustius'... Are a perfect match.

I just realized that this is the end of the road, we were faced with a dead end.

Mark: What?

Felix: Where do we go now?

We ponder for a minute and waited if something would happen, we decided to break the awkward silence

Felix: Sorry if you're still kind of traumatized from earlier, but yeah... I feel guilty.

Mark: Yeah me too... Specially when we entered this corridor the guilt had just took over me, he had a life, he was normal, he didn't deserve any of this, he had a very close friend... I feel sorry for him

I looked back at the large painting and so did Felix, I admired how good he was at arts, no, how Great he was.  I looked down and sighed until our thoughts was cut short

?: He wasn't just a friend...

We jumped but just slightly, he's voice was calmer almost soothing. You looked back and saw Nebiros but with a patient's clothing, and bright purple eyes. Not a sight you'll see everyday

Mark: Y-you?!

?: Please do not panic, the person you killed earlier wasn't me, I am Faustius. Please remember my name, do not mistake me as 'Nebiros'. He is no longer me, he is the one who people think is me.  They see me as a demon and a murderer but all I really am is a artist, plain and simple.

Faustius: I only wanted to have a good life with him, but they had to take everything away from me and break me, now they made me the monster they called 'Nebiros'."

Mark: Wait who is he anyway?

Faustius: He is my one and only lover, yes he is a boy and I am too.  I do not care of their gender, he is the only one who understands me. I loved him to the moon and back~

Felix: Where is he?

Faustius: He's gone... He is a 'failed patient' as they like to call him.  He was supposed to be one of us.. But they had to dispose of him

Mark: Wait.. us? There's more of you?

Faustius: Yes... You must understand their life stories, each and everyone of us has different tragic past.  However in order to do that you must eliminate our 'other self' just like how you killed Nebiros, then you can save them...
Ahh yes... My time is running out, I must be going to the other side. The light is calling me... It was fun while it lasted... Goodbye

Then I saw him turn into gold dust and vanished into thin air, I was lost for words. So many questions and yet so many unanswered, 'There are more of them?' 'How do I kill them?' 'How do I understand their life stories?' 'Who's behind all of this?' my mind was bombarded with questions, but my main concern here is Jack. After this we're going to find him whether he likes it or not, we must cooperate with each other.
