Marked

I Need Your Help

[All characters of "Marked" have been summoned in this chapter.]

(Y/N): What's going on?

Mai: What the?! I almost had that goal!

Greenwood: No you didn't.

Mother: What the #@$%?!

7723: Please mind your language.

Guys, I have terrible news... [All characters are listening]

I don't think I can continue Marked. [Cue le gasping of everyone]

I don't think I can make it thread the needle. I swear I had a storyline, really I do. But I just don't think I have the time or energy to revive it. I mean, it's been so long since I've touched this book, I don't think I could've made it match my original plan. Maybe I could, but I can only imagine this book going way off topic.

[Characters start to disappear, starting with non-Next Gen characters.]

Yes, this book is still young but there's nothing I could do to make the situation better. Sure it was fun while it lasted— While I had the storyline fresh in my head— but some things just don't make the cut.

[All adults from Next Gen disappear next.]

Mai: MOM!

I wish I wasn't so ambitious to start something I know I'd end up uncompleted. Unfinished. Wasted. Rotting away.

[Ani begins to fade away.]

(Y/N): NO! ANI!

Ani: Goodbye. . .

Mai: Ani. . .

I've been swamped with everything, even if I had free time, I'd waste it doing something else. This book was going to be my pride, but now. . .

[Greenwood crutches her stomach.]

Greenwood: I don't feel so good. . .

(Y/N): Greenwood! Musique_Me, stop it!

Greenwood: Stay strong, little punk. . .

If I chose to put it on hold, like most authors do, I know I'd never had the motivation to type another chapter for this book.

[Mai gets speared in the chest, however, no blood was spilled.]

Mai: I. . . Seven. . .

7723: MAI! NO!

(Y/N): It should've been me. . .

It shouldn't be ended like this. I could've done more. But it wasn't enough. It was never enough.

(Y/N): Seven. . .

7723: (Y/N). . . Look out!

[Seven gets blasted by an unknown source.]

(Y/N): SEVEN!

7723: (Y-y/n), listen to me. You need to know that—

[Seven's body sparks and his arm twitches.]

7723: ARGH —t-that you c-cannot be erased like the rest of us.

(Y/N): Please. . .

7723: I love you. We all do.

[Seven fades away, leaving (Y/N) all alone.]

. . . I'm sorry. . .

(Y/N): . . . I love you too. . .

(Y/N): Gone. . All of them. . . I. . .

(Y/N): NO! I WON'T ACCEPT IT! MUSIQUE_ME, BRING THEM BACK! REWRITE THE BOOK FOR ALL I CARE. KILL ME OFF IN THE STORY. MAKE ME THE BAD GUY JUST PLEASE, DO SOMETHING!

[(Y/N) falls into her knees, sobbing.]

(Y/N): I'll do anything. Bring back my friends. . . Seven. . .

. . . I can't save them all but. . . Maybe in an alternate world. . . You swear you would do anything to have them back?

(Y/N): I. . .

(Y/N): Guys, readers, followers, Wattpaders, whoever you are, I need your help. I am only here because of your decisions. Please, help me get everyone back. I can't. . . I can't do this alone.

Even if possible, no one will help you. Everyone else has given up on this book as well. Probably removed from their libraries. Hmpf, you have a month to get their answers. Nevertheless, Marked is coming to a close. It will only be "Completed" when it has been a month from the release of this chapter.

(Y/N), you have until 10 March 2019, Sunday, to decide your fate. And until that day, you shall slowly fade from existence, dying a little everyday, suffering.

(Y/N): For Seven.

[(Y/N)'s hand begins to fade from existence. She sits cross-legged with her eyes closed.]

(Y/N): For everybody.
