No One Cares || Danti ✔️

26.

Everything had gone white after that. I wake up to Dark screaming at me to get up. Fresh tears were running down his soft, reddened cheeks. Quinton looks unconscious.

There's pain all around my body. Why am I on the ground? My heart pumps irregularly, physically straining it. What the hell is happening?

I struggle to even stand, my body swaying as I do so. My hand catches the wall, letting me gain some strength back.

"W-what happened?" I question, noticing they were tied up and we all were in an unfamiliar room.

"J-just get us out of these ch-chains, please, baby. I-I'll tell you at h-home," Dark chokes out. I nod immediately, worried for my significant other.

I grab the chains and notice a key was needed for it to unlock. Unless I could somehow figure out how to slide them off without it hurting.

"Do you have any idea-"

"It was in his p-pocket," he spoke, cutting me off, "just hurry, please."

"Who's?"

"What do you mean-"

"Die's pocket, Anti. Die's pocket," Quinton abruptly spat with a venomous tone. "Don't bother trying to find his body. Just break the chain."

I don't respond, not wanting him to get even more upset. I wasn't sure if I could even break the chain; I felt too weak. I had to hold myself up with the back of the chair Dark sat in.

How the hell am I supposed to break this?

I pull the chain up, maneuvering it around Dark's head and past his arms. After about five minutes, I had thrown the chain on the floor. He didn't stand up though.

I walk in front of him with concerned eyes. "Are you hurt?"

He doesn't respond, so I lift my hand to make him look at me. When I touch his skin, he flinches away. I felt his fear pulse inside of me.

He's... he's scared of me?

A tear falls from my eye, and I felt confusion and anger build up inside. What did Die make me do? I walk towards Quinton and take the chains in my hands, not even hesitating with ripping it apart in one pull.

"Let's go."

-

I call Seán immediately when we get home, ignoring Dark's wants to speak with me about whatever happened earlier.

"Hello-"

"Everything isn't fine. Die was apparently alive. I don't remember what happened. The only thing I do know was that he kidnapped Dark, Quinton, and I. We're home, but I'm-"

"Anti, breathe. Calm down. Take a deep breath, okay?" He speaks with a calm voice.

I take in a trembling breath and shut my eyes, letting my heart beat fall into a relaxed rhythm.

"Start from the beginning now," he says, hugging me with his voice.

"Die was alive the whole time. He was watching us. Dark, Quinton, and I were kidnapped by him. I'm guessing something big happened, but I don't remember what it was. When I woke up, Quinton and Dark were still in chains and I was on the ground. When I was taking Dark out of his chains, he didn't look at me. When I tried touching him, he flinched away. Seán, I could feel the fear he felt because of me. He was scared of me. And Quinton was venomous with me. They both acted as if I had done something wrong. I don't remember anything though. And I don't know what to do."

"Jesus..." he says, shock clear in his tone, "that's... insane."

"What do I do?"

"Just... try talking to them. See what happened and then figure out what to do next. Did... did Die hurt you again?"

"Yes, I'm guessing with a whip of some sort because there's bloody streaks on my chest and my cheek."

"Do I need to come down there?" He questions.

"No, no, everything will be fine. I hope. I just need to try and figure everything out."

"Okay. Call me if you need anything. I love you. Be safe. I don't want to lose you."

"You won't, I promise. I love you too. Bye."

"Bye."
