A Forbidden Love

The uninvited

⚠️F⚠️

Mark's POV
———

I wake up in darkness, and I can't move.  I look around, realizing I was tied to something, something I couldn't see, all I could see were the ropes around my wrists and ankles.  I pulled and tugged at the ropes around my wrists, only making it worse.  Every time I tried to move my hands the ropes tightened, leaving rope burn on my wrists as I kept pulling.  I couldn't bare it anymore, the ropes were so tight, if they got any tighter they'd cut through my wrists.  The ropes were leaving imprints in my arms. 

"Why hello there markimoo~" I hear a deep, creepy voice coming from the darkness.  I look in every direction, eventually a red light caught my gaze.  Two red eyes, glowing from the shadows.  I was frozen in fear, scared to even speak. 

"Go ahead hun, I won't bite~" the voice chuckles, sending chills throughout my body "not yet at least."  I see bright, white, sharp teeth just beneath the eyes.  It's a face, there's a person there.

"Wh-who are you?" I ask, terrified of the response.

"I am everything, and everyone.  I could be anyone you want me to be."  A chuckle breaks through the silence once again. 

"Who are you?!"  I shout, louder this time.

A figure emerges, it was so dark I could only see a silhouette.  "I'm not a who, but a what.  I'm no human."  It says, it's voice so smooth and alluring.

"Then... th-then, WHAT are you?"  I ask for it's identity again.

"I'm you." It laughs, bellowing from the darkness.  I see the figures head go back as it cackles, louder and louder, more chilling with every second it continues.

I interrupted the thing "What do you mean?"  I ask with a puzzled tone. 

It ceases its laugh abruptly.  "I'm your depression, your thoughts, your mind, your body.  I am everything you are."  It's bright smirk appears once again "I'm every horrid thing that is you."  Its maniacal laugh makes me shiver.

"You can't be.  This isn't real.  I just passed out, I'm having a nightmare."  I try to lead my thoughts away from this being real.

"Believe what you wish, but I'll tell you this- this, right here, this is reality.  This is your mind, you're trapped in your mind."  It starts pacing, back and fourth, very slowly, creepily. 

"N-no it's not," I take a deep breath "I lost consciousness, this is just... just..." I look at the ground, having a total loss for words.

The figure stops pacing, stops moving all together, still, and frozen.  Finally, it speaks "Maybe this," It smiles wider "will twist your beliefs."

I sit, terrified of what it would do.  It chuckles evilly as it slowly steps into a spotlight.  "I am you."  It says once again.

I stare in awe as I see the figure before me.  Short black hair, messy and spiked, glowing, almond shaped red eyes.  Wearing a flannel, where the sleeves had been ripped off.  A black, deep cut, v-neck t-shirt underneath, a large "D" spray painted on the front.  Black skinny jeans, covered in rips and tears.  "I am Dark..." it smirks at me as it's long black nails catch my attention "I am..." it pauses. 
After a second or two of silence, it turns its head quickly in my direction "The uninvited." He chuckles evilly as the darkness around us began to fade to white.  "I'll see you real soon Mark."  It's voice fades as the white consumes my vision.
