The Dark Book: Darkiplier & Reader

Chapter Seven: The Secret of the Roses

The Mansion Garden Chapter:

After going back inside the book, I opened my eyes to find myself in a garden now. The dress I had on was a sunflower yellow one with a hint of white, and my hair was back in a bun.

The garden looked absolutely beautiful. The flowers were fresh and blossomed, the bushes were trimmed down perfectly, and the water fountains were clean and crystal clear. It all reminded me of the garden back at home, but I ignored that part. Even though I was still upset, I shouldn't be around Dark. As I kept on walking through the garden, I saw a gazebo. And to my surprise again, Dark was there. "(Your Name), over here!", he called me. As I ran through the maze, I finally got to him. "Hey! I saw your garden. It's amazing!", I complimented him. "Hahahaha!!!! Thank you. Please, sit down. Enjoy some lemonade that I had my chefs prepare for you.", he said as I took a seat. I saw the glass, but I didn't felt thirsty. "Are you sure that you're not thirsty? Because it's fresh and delicious.", Dark told me. "No thank you, Dark. I'm not thirsty at this moment. I'm- I- I can't-", I said until I felt a sad tension in my heart. I told myself that I wasn't going to cry in front of him, but the anger still affected me. "(Your Name), are you alright?", Dark asked as I began to cry. I couldn't hold back my tears anymore. Dark came over to give me a hug, and told me that everything is okay. I looked up at him, and continued to cry. "Oh Dark.... I'm sorry if I'm crying.... It's just that.... You were right about Mark! He told me that you don't have a background story what so ever.", I explained to him. Dark looked at me and hugged me again. "I'm so sorry if you feel this way... I couldn't remember the time he made me upset too. I still can't forget the day he told me that he just used me. But now, I want to leave this place. But I don't know how.", he told me. I dried my tears and looked back at him. I figure now that maybe I can trust Dark, instead of Mark now. "Dark, I think I know how you can be set free. You see, there are these roses inside the book I go into, and they must be a key or something.", I explained to him. And to my surprise, he knew exactly what I meant. "Roses?... You mean the two dead roses that are kept inside the book?", he asked me. "Yes! They're dead ones!", I said. Dark then got up from his seat and walked around while talking to me. "I should've known that he would use those...", he told me. "What do you mean?", I asked. "Those two dead roses were once mine. I had them with me, ever since Mark created me. He made them my symbol to show that I was evil. But they did nothing to me. Even after he banished me into this book, he placed the roses inside the teared our pages to keep me locked up in here. They're like two locks, keeping me trap.", Dark explained to me. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. No wonder why I can enter inside the book. No wonder why the book can grow big on its own. No wonder why the portal inside opens after I take the roses out. All of this was starting to make sense to me. "You're right! The roses are like two locks. So, if I can get them out of the book and take them with me to you-", I said until Dark finished for me. "Then you can hand them over to me, and I can finally be free from this prison. Well, that is, if you want to help me get out of here... I don't want no one to see me and get scared...", he said. I then got up from the chair and grabbed his hands. "Dark, listen to me. I made a promise to help you get out of here. And I'm willing to keep that promise. I know for a fact that you're not evil. I've seen you so far. And I'm willing to help you escape this prison, no matter what it takes.", I explained to him. Dark gave me a smile and hugged me. "Oh (Your Name), thank you so much...", he said while tearing up a bit. I now knew my mission: Get the roses and help set free my new friend.
