Fight Back (Third Book To Total Control)

Secrets Revealed

Your POV

We all sat in the living room brainstorming, or at least trying to on how to defeat Dark.
"Ok, how about if we try to drain him, maybe?" Sèan suggested and I shook my head.
"He's way too strong, he'll kill us before we're even close to that" I said.
"And the day I left, he went out, undoubtedly to gain more strength. The murders reported for that day proves that's what he went to do, so he'll be even stronger by now" I added, trying to think of something else.
"He'll kill us, not you" Mark corrected.
"If you think I'll let you lay down your life for me, you're dead wrong." I stated firmly as Sèan tried to reason
"Y/n, just think ab-"
"No, Sèan. I won't let any of you do that" I reiterated firmly. He shut up and looked down, going into thought again. I lost one person to Dark already, I wasn't going to lose another two.

"What if we...." Sèan started trailed off, realizing he didn't have a solid idea.
"Take a break Sèan, there's nothing we can think of right now. Even Light's exhausted" I told him, directing his attention to Light who looked like he was about to knock out on the couch in a matter of seconds.
"We'll figure something out, just rest your mind for a moment" I said and got up, going to the kitchen. I honestly didn't want to be occupied in it anymore. So far there isn't a way for us to beat him. But Mark and Sèan wouldn't hear it, they say that there must be a way to defeat him.
They keep saying that I did it before, which is true, but that was when he was confined in my head. Now he's real, out here in the real world. He's more powerful than I've seen him.
All I did was kick him out, we're trying to find a way to actively kill him in the real world. They don't want to hear it, but it may be impossible to do.

I ran my fingers through my hair, I could hear the boys rustling and moving around in the living room. I felt a presence behind me and jumped, spinning around quickly on my heels. Ever since all this with Dark, I've been a bit paranoid about everything and one. Dark, Anti and Wilford, teleporting bastards. It only makes sense to be on high alert all the time.
When I turned around I saw those caring brown eyes looking at me with concern once again.
"Mark, you scared me" I breathed, placing a hand over my heart.
"Sorry" he said as I turned around again, facing the small window, a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist as Mark rested his head on my shoulder.
"Mark? Is something wrong?" I asked, though it was probably a stupid question.
"You're stressed again" he said, in a matter-of-fact tone.
"I'm not" I denied and I heard him huff a breath.
"You're lying" he said with full confidence. I sighed, there was no denying it to him, he knew.

"What gave me away?" I asked.
"You came in here and was doing nothing, you always do that" he said. Now that I thought of it, he was right. Every time, wherever I was, I'd always end up here and for no reason at all. Mark snickered behind me, realizing that I noticed my little routine.
"Don't worry, we'll find a way" he said in a serious and hopeful tone. I sighed and hung me head.
They just won't give up, they're gonna get killed.

Mark turned me around to face him and lifted my chin, making me look into his eyes.
"Don't lose hope" he said and hugged me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and nestled my head into his chest. While his head was buried into my neck on the left side.
"You'll be ok" he whispered softly. I shivered as his breath travelled across the skin where the scar was. It's been more sensitive since it had healed.
"What was that?" I could hear his smirk.
"N-nothing" I whimpered.
"We'll see when this is all over" he said lowly making me blush. Normally you'd think how could he say such things in a time like this. But the truth is, he's a good guy and his hinting keeps mind off of it for a little while. So it's a good. And I know how he feels towards me, even though he may not know how I feel. He's been nothing but patient, protecting and caring. He understands and he's willing to give me the time I need. Which is one of the reasons I adore him so much.
