Ch. 15: Cordis pura

       

"No!" (Y/n) yelled out.

Anti's lifeless body fell into the pond causing a large splash. Sean held onto her arm, wanting to protect her. Dark stayed in the air, making sure Anti wasn't going to get back up.

"Let me go!" She ripped herself from his grip and ran into the water.

Sean went after her, but was stopped by Mark. "Let her go. She's going to be fine."

"We can't just let'er go! She's-"

"Completely fine." Mark spoke over him. "There's a reason Anti wanted us to come here. Demon's can't swim. She's safer in there than she is out here."

Sean looked back to see bubbles on the surface of the water. "I hope so.."

Dark landed on the ground, cracking his fingers moments after. "Now, what shall I do with you two?"

Mark and Sean moved close together, glaring at Dark. Mark held a large stick, ready to swing at a moments notice.

Dark smirked. "And what are you going to accomplish with that?"

"Stay back." Mark warned.

"I know your strengths, Mark. I also know," He snapped his fingers. "your weaknesses."

The two Youtubers waited for the worst, but nothing happened. Dark wrinkled his brow as nothing had appeared upon his snap. He snapped again, and nothing happened. "What the-" Again, and again, nothing.

"What's the matter, Dark?" (Y/n) spoke.

All heads turned to see her with Anti's arm pulled over her shoulder. His body slumped, lifeless. Both their bodies dripping wet from the pond. She breathed weightily, tired from pulling his body out of the water.

Dark's face twisted in fury. "You don't break easily d o y o u?"

"It's going to take a lot more than rabid dogs to stop me, Dark."

He fixed his posture, then slowly took off his suit coat. "Yes, I'm now grasping the severity of my position." After dropping the coat he loosened his tie, taking it off as well, and tossing it on the ground. "And as such time has passed," He rolled up his sleeves on either side. "I've determined that if I can't have you, no one can."

"Oh no.." Sean whispered. "He's going to-"

Mark shoved his hand over Sean's mouth. "Shh, watch."

"So, to be fair, since we were so rudely interrupted, I'll ask one last time." Dark extended a hand towards her. "Join me, (Y/n)."

(Y/n) looked behind Dark at her friends, then down at unconscious Anti. The air held a stillness, everyone holding their breath for her answer. She gently lowered him to the ground and began to walk towards the demon. A smile extended on his face.

"(Y/n), no!" Sean yelled.

He tried to run towards her, but was stopped by Mark.

(Y/n) stopped a few feet away from Dark.

"What do you say?"

"What do I say?" She raised a brow at him.

A tree near them began to twist and move itself forming a hand like figure. It slammed itself down on top of Dark, like crushing a fly, flattening him to the ground. It then rose up to her view, with a tight grip around him. Though his arms were pinned at his sides he still tried to wiggle himself from its grip. The more he moved, the tighter it became. His actions were completely useless. The wooden hand moved itself close to her till they were eye to eye.
