???? POV
"Jack, why do you do this to yourself?" I asked myself as I watched Dark move the empty bottles on Jacks bed, enough that he could sit on the bed at least. He lifted Jack up, leaning him against his chest. Jacks body limp in his grip. Mark walked in, scrutinizing all the bottles.

"How did he even get this much alcohol?!" Mark freaked. Combing his fingers through his hair. All the bottles hadn't been there three days ago. Well there was a few, but not this many. Jack wasn't taking this any easier than Dark had. Making tears form in my eyes. A form of life I'd become, evil and cruel. Mistreated and abandoned. All I could do... Was watch and wait for the perfect moment to do my bidding.

Darks POV
Jack lay against my chest, one of my arms around his waist; holding him up. My other hand, running over his hair with a sigh escaping my mouth. Waiting for him to wake up.
Jack woke up with a cough and splutter. A pained groan as his eyes dragged themselves open. Jumping frightened finding my arm around him, turning to look over his shoulder at me. I smiled lovingly at him, thankful he'd woken up.
"Hey" I greeted him. He smiled at me, snuggling back into my chest.

"Hey Dark... D-Did I *Hic* did I drink too much again?" Jacks voice sounded weak and difficult to hear. Each word slurred and harder to understand. He sighed and shut his eyes again, holding his head. Only to open his eyes and stare into space at the floor.

"You okay?" I questioned. "You look lost?"

"Dark... Why do I try drink my problems away?" He asked. His voice tearful.
"Why can't I just accept that he's gone? I thought in some weird way... That Anti would still be alive. Was I a fool to believe that?" Jack buried me with questions. Not breaking his daydream glance at the floor. I sighed, I'd once thought that too...

"Listen Jack, I know you're hurting, we both are... But I understand why you're taking it this way. Once we've possessed someone long enough... We become apart of them, then if we die... Apart of the person dies with us" I tried to comfort him. Only to make it worse, a tear leaking from Jacks eye.

"What if he's here? Watching over -"

"Jack, he could be... Since the commanders dead... there is still an after demon life, but no where to be tortured. He could be a lost soul by now... He could even be haunting us for all we know" I cut him off. He broke his stare and turned it to me. Pain and grief evident in his swollen red eyes.

"A voice speaks with me every night... Telling me everything's okay while I drink, telling me to stop... That I'll kill myself!" Jack yelled at me. I released him and he stumbled off the bed. Drunken staggering all over the room towards the door. I stood up and walked over to him. Catching him mid fall before the door.

"A voice?" I questioned under my breath. Glancing to my side, trying to remember the voice I'd been hearing lately too.
"What does this voice say to you?" I asked so he could hear.

"What does it matter what the voice says?! It's insane! IM GOING INSANE DARKY!" Jack yelled with clenched tight eyes. His eyes shot open, radiating green. His features furious. I dropped him from fright, hearing him groan. He'd sounded like Anti, looked like Anti. Only Anti called me Darky... Only Anti had those glowing green eyes. Was Anti here? He was always the puppet master, manipulative and crazy. Anyone he used would have those green eyes.

"J-Jack I didn't mean it like that-"

"You think I'm crazy don't you?! You think that he won't come back!!" Jack screamed in anger, tears streaming down his angry face.
"Anti is always near! Always watching!" Jacks voice sounded like a glitch. Was this Anti possessing back into Jack?

"A-Anti? I-Is that you controlling Jack?" Jack froze, his anger draining from his face. Green eyes glowing brighter as they stared at me, tears still leaking down his cheeks. He appeared so innocent as he shook his head... Only to change to a nod.
"Is it really you Anti?!" I yelled hoping it was. Jack nodded.

"Im still here Dark... But not the same. The form of life I've become is evil and cruel. I can't stay here... Im loosing myself Darky, every dreadful moment without you is to keep you guys safe." Anti explained as tears fell down my face.

"B-But h-how?" I asked between sobs. He smiled at me, walking up to me and placing a hand on my cheek. Leaving a kiss on my cheek.

"No time for questions to be answered... But till next time I see you... Keep yourselves alive. I know you have all the knowledge of demons from the elder demon council... Use that knowledge to save me" his voice cracked into tears. Wrapping his arms tight around me. "If I come back with red eyes, don't trust me... Im gone" He demanded as his eyes faded back to Jacks blue ones.

"I'll save you Anti, don't worry" I replied, making Jacks body smile as the last traces of Anti disappeared. Jacks body fell limp as his eyes rolled back again. Jack wasn't strong enough for that anymore, to be possessed, he's too weak.
