Ouija - Danti/Septiplier Fanfiction

Chapter Twenty Two

"W-what!? Why?" Natemare flooded with confusion at me.

I sighed, running my hand over my neck, feeling the cut from the knife that is old now.

     "I don't wanna live here anymore, Nate. I understand that I have powers and you, but this isn't Jack. This is Anti. I want to be myself again."

     "Jack, you know that this is a big consideration, right? Leaving Dark behind? He will literally slit my head off and throw my body in the river if he found out I were to let you leave here."

    "So you can go back?" I asked. Nate groaned and shook his head. "You don't get it, Anti! You just don't get it.. I understand you miss your old life, but you've.. been putting everyone else after you, not before you."

I began to be frustrated at Nate.
  "Since when? I've been worrying about Felix since he came here!"

Natemare rested his arm on his staff and looked right at me. "If you weren't so selfish to make Mark do that damn Ouija board without question, none of this would've happened. Don't you see that?"

My fists clenched in anger. Natemare was suddenly siding with Dark? I understand he was always Dark's friend, but..

     "I didn't know there was this whole dead psycho realm with dead replicas of dead people walking around with powers!"

Nate stood up from his staff and glared at me.
   "Maybe you should take a step back and let others have choices, too, then."

My eyes narrowed. With no control, I opened my mouth and screamed at Nate.

Neon-colored rings shot out within my scream at Nate, expanding as they reached him. He got blown to the wall, causing bookshelves to fall over. One toppled over quickly, smashing down on to Nate's leg.

     "Aghhh!" Nate yelled, holding his knee, his staff rolling out on the floor towards me.

I began to breathe heavily, unaware of my actions, becoming shocked. Scared. Fearful of myself.

My breathing began to quickly turn into slight sobs, as I fell to my knees. Nate didn't bother watching me as he continued to attempt to get his leg unstuck.

I gripped my shirt with one hand, my hair with the other. I sobbed, feeling pathetic in front of Nate. He winced as his leg wouldn't come out from under the shelf.

Suddenly, my sobs turned into giggles. The giggles formed into hales of laughter as I stood up.

Natemare looked up at me, terror written on his face.

I smiled down at him as my head tilted slightly, my laughter still going on through my smile.
  "I'm right. I'm not Jack anymore, I'm Anti."

Natemare reached for his staff, but I uncontrollably threw my foot out and stomped on the orb within the staff. We both watched as the staff shattered to pieces on the floor.

Nate stared at me for a moment, his eyes watering as he tried to hide it.
"Good job. You've just hurt someone else."

Then, he teleported away as his most engulfed him.

My smile began to shape into a frown, my chest heaving with my breaths. What did I just do?! That wasn't me!

"Shitshitshitshit! Nate! I need to go to him."

Staring at the ground and then at Felix once more, I teleported away to find Nate.

☿

"Nate! Please! I'm sorry! I don't know where that came from!" I shouted, looking around on the castle balcony in Dark's room.

I sighed, watching the wind blow past the trees down below. Everything was quiet now. Empty, too. Nobody was in this castle with me anymore.

How am I ever going to get back without Natemare.. and how am I ever going to live here without Dark?

"Nate.. please come back.. I'm so alone.." I shut my eyes tight, leaning over the balcony railing. A tear slowly parted down my face, dropping off into the forest of trees below the castle.

"Or are you?" I spoke, grinning. Wait, that wasn't me speaking..

"From what I checked, I was here with you all along, Jack."

I looked around, but couldn't find any sign of somebody.

"Who are you?! Get out here and show yourself, coward!" I shouted, looking back into Dark's room.

"I can't show myself, I'm part of you," I said, leaning on the balcony rail.

"W-what?! Wait a second.. you! You made me scare Natemare shitless and break his staff!"

"Obviously."

"Why did you do that?! I'm all alone now thanks to whoever you are!" I threw my fist on to the wall beside me.

"Hey, calm it, shortcake. Want me to explain or not?"

I groaned, sliding down the wall as my knees met my face. "Haven't I had enough explaining already? I don't think I can handle more."

"Well, too bad. I'm your geo. I've been the one granting you the demonic look of yours and your powers."

"What? Since when? You only just started talking and taking control over me an hour ago."

I chuckled, or the geo did. "Yeah. I figured to let you have control of your own body. I didn't want to be the jackass here. I just thought it'd be fun to jump in and scare off Nate. Besides, I couldn't let you consider leaving here."

I stood back up, pointing at nothing, as if the geo was in front of me.
"Listen here, this is my body, my mind. You can't suddenly decide what I can and can't do!"

The geo chortled, rolling my eyes.
"Listen, I'm not wanting to be the villain, bud. We just met. But, if you leave here, I'll be left to die and I can't have that. After being trapped in that glass jar for thousands of years.. thank god Dark finally got me out."

I paced back and forth. "You seriously can't suddenly stop me. I want to go back home. Who cares if you die?"

"I mean.. Dark does."

I abruptly stopped pacing, clenching my fists. "Don't you even mention his name in this, you hear me? He isn't your advantage to this."

"I'm in control of your body, though. I can.. say, make you do this?"

Suddenly, I teleported above the forest, falling at a rapid pace. I shouted before teleporting on to the roof of the castle.

"What the hell was that for?!" I argued with myself, clinging to a chimney.

"Just proving my might. Y'know, if you didn't mention wanting to leave this hell, I would've left you alone, Jack. But now I can't let you go or else I'll vanish from this time continuum."

"Come on, dude! This isn't fair! I'll just take you out of myself, then!"

I crossed my arms as I leaned against the chimney now.

"You can't. Or else you'll turn into a shower of sparks like Amy did. Nonhumans can't exist in a demonic realm."

I grunted, sliding off of the roof, down to the balcony.

    "So now what? I'm supposed to live with you as my conscious now? Or even have my body taken control of?"

I thought for a second, tapping my chin.
   "No, don't worry. You seemed to be having fun as yourself with my powers. I'll let you be, but I will always be here if you make a dumb move."

     "Well isn't that assuring."

I rolled my eyes as I began to feel lighter. Guess he was gone for now.
