Fight Back (Third Book To Total Control)

Square one

Your POV

I lay on the soft bed, cuddled up under the covers, partially awake, eyes still shut. There was a cool breeze coming through the window and I could hear the nature outside.
I've been lying there for who knows how long, unable to sleep comfortably. Nightmares, over and over. Of course it was about Dark, him coming back. I don't know how to feel. When I'm away from him, I'm scared he'll come back. I remember all the things he's done to me, I remember what kind of manipulative and conniving demon he is. And that as well, I remember he's a demon over all else. He's horrid. I know all of this and my mind always goes to those thoughts whenever he's not around.
But when I'm around him, my mind seems to forget all about those things, all it sees is what is in front of it. The Dark that he shows me. Kind and caring, loving and not at all scary, even though some of his action doesn't fall in line with what it sees, even when I see it for myself.
I have no idea what's wrong with me.

And these nightmare's I've been having lately. We've been here for almost two weeks now, the same amount of time I was with Dark. I thought the nightmares would lessen by now, but it only seems to be getting worse.
A knock on my door stopped me from my train of thought.
"Y/n, you up?" Mark asked from the other side.
"Yeah, I'll be down in a bit" I answered and heard him walked away from my door.

He has explained what they're trying to do, defeat Dark once and for all. He said they were able to trap him, but they had a lot of help to do just that. When I had asked who was their help, his head dropped.
"A good friend, Ezra was his name. He was Light's older brother" he had said.
"Was?" I questioned.
"He was killed while fighting Dark and Anti the first time, before he died he gave Light the strength he needed to cage both of them in Sèan and I. He was so distraught when it was over. He lost his brother and his mentor on his first job on earth" Mark had sounded like he blamed himself for it. I felt so sad for Light, from the time I've been here and gotten to know him a little, he was nothing but a sweetheart. Always giving a smile and being nice, to think that he went through that.
The 'jobs', Mark explained as best he could, but he said it wasn't really his business to know about that. That was what Light did, and only he knows what they really are.
And finally, Light was an angel. So was Ezra.
I remember Dark had said something about angels, that they bounded him to Mark. Light was who was talking about, or maybe Ezra, or both of them.

Mark had said that they haven't had the slightest clue of how to defeat Dark. They hadn't figured out that yet. And that all they found was that he must've had someone powerful helping him. My mind crossed on Wilford immediately, he was the strongest one I've ever seen. But he knew Wil was on their side, yet he didn't say his name when he mentioned this 'powerful person' which led me to believe that there was someone else he had.
I told him of my constant nightmares, he said that it could just be my subconscious. But he had a look that said it could be more than that. But he said nothing further.
My mind crossed on the latest nightmare again. I had woke up and saw Dark next to me again. And he was furious. It scared the living shit out of me.
It felt so real.

"What felt so real?" I heard light in my head.
"Light, I told you about that" I said to him.
"On the bright side, you know how to do it now" he said, which made me chuckle. He must've been downstairs. He taught me how to shield my thoughts but I'm not that good at it yet. And how to read other's minds. Turns out, I could've done that all along, just didn't know how to.
It makes sense since Dark, Anti and Wil can and I am sort of like them, in a way.

I figured it was about time to get off the bed. It was brighter than I expected when I opened my eyes, and immediately shut them afterwards.
"Lass, coffee's done" I heard Sèan yell. I groaned and opened my eyes, getting off the soft, comfortable bed. I slept in a big tee and shorts, no one sees me like this though. The only person who knows about the scars was Mark.
I brushed my teeth, combed my hair, changed into my long clothes and went down. Sèan was standing in the kitchen, leaning on the counter sipping a cup of coffee. Mark was chomping down on a bowl of cereal while Light was looking at him with a face of disgust. I walked in and greeted.
"Morning guys, Hey Light" I said. Light looked in my direction for a brief moment and greeted back before continuing to gawk at Mark.
"Mornin' lass" Sèan said, sipping on the hot coffee. I took a cup and joined him, leaning on the counter beside him. His coffee always tastes good.
