*Natemare*

"I....I can't..." I said slowly. "Sure you can, just do the same thing you did to the demons to me!" Sighing, I pick up my daggers. "If I win, I get something in return." "Deal, in fact if you win, I surrender and banish myself for 20,000 more years." Dark said while messing with the tip of his dagger. My eyes widen, "Really?" He nods, "Now fight me already or your friends will be joining your father!"

I yelled in anger and charged at him with both daggers in front of me.

*Mad*

OK, I know Nate was good friends with this guy, but he was really getting in my nerves by asking me 'Are you done yet?' every second. After a few minutes,I finnaly finish hacking the door. "Are you done now?" Mark asks for the millionth time. Both of our doors open, "Yes Mark, NOW IM DONE." I say gritting my teeth.

He laughs nervously and walks out, "Sorry... Just very nervous."

I walk out of my cell and go to a office where a guard should be watching us, but they were maybe with Dark for some mission. I find two guns in there, so I take one for myself and toss Mark one. "Use it only for emergences, or else they would know we're not in our cells." I tell Mark. He nods and puts he gun in a gun holster he must had found.

"Where to now?" Mark questions while looking outside the door for any guards.

I use the computers to search up a map of the whole castle and point to the tallest tower, "Right here is where they control all the collars for both humans and demons. If we get up there, I can hack our collars and shut down only ours so no one wouldn't get suspicious, but we may have to sneak through the Lab where Dark and Nate are, so we just be careful."

"Wow, and how long did it take for you to think of this?" Mark says. "Since I was hacking the door, now let's do it." I say, already walking out and sneaking down the halls, Mark follows. We reach the double doors that lead to the lab, and I crack the door and peek in. There are a bunch of guards and scientist surrounding the window that shows Dark and Nate, which they seem to be fighting.

I look around the room, till I finally see the stair case for the Tower. I whisper to Mark, "We have to quietly sneak behind them, then climb up those stairs that lead to the second floor, that leads to a way to get to the top of the tower, got it?"

"Um sure?" Mark says confused. I breath heavily.

"Just follow me." And I sneak slowly behind the demons.

Mark does the same, but freezes when a guard turns and walks out. Mark quickly moves behind a pole before it sees him. Luckily, he didn't see him, so Mark continued and made it the the stairs, and we both walked up them.

Arriving at the top, we notice that no one was up there, but there was an eagle-eye view point for the room Nate and Dark was in. They were still fight, then Nate pinned Dark to the wall and put the sharp edge of the dagger to his throat. We watched

*Natemare*

Trying to push the dagger closer to his neck, Dark laughs manically. "Wow Natemare, I knew you were stronger before, but now I'm thinking you could have a chance at actually killing me!" Dark yells, laughing even more after.

I look confused, "Why are you laughing? I'm this close to killing you!" "Because Nate, don't you ever wonder why I got banished in the first place?" Dark says, tilting his head.

I scoff at him, pushing the dagger even more, "Why would I care?" Hr laughs even more, "Oh, so Satan never told you? Well then I shouldn't tell, go ahead and kill me then." I knee him in the stomach, "Now you have me interested, tell me!" Dark stumbles, yet gets back on his feet and stares at me with his blood-red eyes, "I was the one who killed your mother."

I stop and freeze, trying to comprehend what I just heard. I move back from him, "No, n-no way...your laughed.YOU NEVER KILLED MY MOTHER!!!" "Oh but I did, and I laughed when I did, I did not care that I was banished, I still laughed."

I feel to my knees and looked down, "Why? Why do this?" Dark grinned and walked to me and crouched to my height. "Cause its what demons should do! After God put us down there, you and the others gone soft! I'm just trying to bring that back!"

I ignored him, I don't even care what happens anymore, he has officially ruined my life...I just wish for him to stop. He got tired of me ignoring him, so he grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him, "Listen here and listen now. If you don't surrender now Natemare, I will kill all the ones you love. Mad, Mark, even your only family left Flame, so give up or they'll die!"

*Mad*

"Oh no...we better hurry before Nate has no chance but to join him. Hurry Mark, grab on to my shoulder and I'll teleport us there." Mark looks at me, but looks back at Nate, "But what if Nate joins him...."

"He won't if we don't hurry up! Now come on!" I yell.

Mark stares for a second before snapping out of it and grabbing onto my shoulder. I teleport both of us up there and immideiently go to the work station. I search up mine, Marks, and Nates and figure out the each of our codes to deactivate our collars. As my hand hovered over the the button to shut them down, I hear a gun click.

"Move away from the button and put your hands behind your head." I heard Flame's voice say.
