Manipulation (Sequel To Total Control)

Not the Dark I remember pt. 2

Your POV

I had finally picked myself off the floor and say on the couch. The shirts and knife still at my side as I hung my head in my hands while the scene kept replaying in my head. I still felt like crying but I had no more tears.

I just thought that he...that I...I don't know what I thought. He said that he cared, so many times, but he just stabbed me. Why he would do that then deny it was beyond me. Maybe Dark is right about him, I mean, Dark would known him better than anyone.

"Baby doll, why do you do this to yourself? " Dark asked.
"I just can't forget it, he was the only one I had and I just -"
"He's not the only one you have. You have me" he interrupted. A small smile crept up to my face.
"You're right, I'm sorry I forgot about you " I said.
"It's fine"

"But why would he d-"
"Y/n! " his voice boomed, stopping me.
"Stop wrecking your brain to find a reason. It clear he doesn't care for you as much as he says he does, what can't you see that? "
"I..I don't know " my words fumbled.
"You liked him" Dark said flatly.

In truth, I did.

"He doesn't deserve it. Please, stop doing this to yourself " he pleaded.
"I just can't think about anything else" I protested.
"You're not even trying! "
"What do you want from me Dark!? I'm not some piece of emotionless shit that forgets everything when they've gotten their heart ripped out! " I yelled but careful to not be too loud, in case they girl hears me. I'm sure she knows that I'm alone. She'll definitely think I'm insane if she hears.

"Why are you yelling at me? I didn't do anything! I'm just trying to calm you down " he complained and I hung my head again.
"I just can't forget it" I said again, softly.

"Now I'm not saying that something's wrong with you, but maybe I can help, help you get your mind off him" he said, clearly.

"How can you, you're not actually here" I stated.
"Yes, but... Just relax. Lay down and close your eyes"
"Why? " I asked, skeptically.
"You'll see, just do it" I wasn't really convinced.

"Do I have to knock you out myself? " he asked and I immediately tensed. He's sweet at times but I haven't forgotten what he can do. And I'm still terrified of him in the least. So I did what I was told. I took the shirt and the knife from the couch and placed them on the coffee table then laid on the couch. I hesitantly shut my eyes, when I did, Dark said
"Just relax, don't think about anything you can focus on me if you want" I listened and tried to clear my mind.

"Come find me" he said then after not too long, I felt a cool breeze brush across my skin. At first I though that maybe there was a window open or something. But when I opened my eyes I knew why he said what he did.

I was definitely not at home anymore.

It was some kind of forest. It looked familiar for some reason but I couldn't place it. I got up and examined my surroundings. Not seeing anything for who knows how far but trees and shrubbery. The floor was laden with dry crunchy leaves. The leaves on both the trees and the ground rustled as a cool breeze passed through. The hairs on my skin rose slightly as the cool air grazed over.

I glanced down at myself to see myself in shorts and a purple top, short sleeves. The air was cold but not freezing, it was like a nice summer breeze. Comforting really.

Just then, I felt like someone was watching me. I turned around but no none there. It had to be Dark, games, he loves playing games. I remembered his words right before I woke up here.

I walked through the forest until I came across a broken fence. And a half demolished building. Immediately, images of what this place was rushed through my head. The memories of what happened flooded my mind.
