SEPTIC TEARS - A JACKSEPTICEYE FANFIC

CHAPTER 2 - ANTI'S STRANGE PLAN

The cold night air sends a chill down your spine as you walk along Infect street. Turning into the alleyway, you feel a pair of eyes stalk your every move. You look behind where you came as you edge closer and closer to the end of the alleyway, unsure who it is or if it is anything at all. A green speck appears out of the corner of your eye but disappears immediately as you turn to look. It appears again and again with a malevolent cackle following its trail. You start to grow tired of this charade.

'STOP MOCKING ME WITH YOUR GLITCH, BITCH!' You shout in the near darkness. Hitting your back against a brick wall, the green flecks collide before you forming a silhouette of a man. Now fully formed, he walks towards you until you can make out his facial features. Those baby blue eyes, the facial hair, that wicked, characteristic grin.

'Bottom of the evenin' to ya,' the demon chuckles. 'What's a pretty lass like ye' self, walkin' on the cold, dangerous streets at night?'

'Nothing special', you shrug. 'Just hoping to see you, that's all'. Your response takes him back by surprise, his smile growing wider in the silence but you continue talking.

'Y/N's the name. I'm a theorist. My theory is that you've become a victim of hate within the community. They say you are the villain, the puppet master who tries to control Jack and the other egos and sets the community on fire. But I say they're wrong.'

'And what makes you say that, young Y/N?' Anti hisses. 'After all, I did kill him the first time I took over.'

'I know you did. Say Goodbye took everyone by surprise. But think about it, I mean, you didn't choose to be this way, the community did. They made you who you are and then they turn against you like you're some kind of...'

'Monster?' Anti suggests.

'Exactly! But in my eyes and by your own quote, You just watch, as this happens.'

'So, the little incident at the hospital today. You think I was just watching as the power circuits glitched away, causing havoc, causing all machinery to stop working and life supports to shut down temporarily?'

'I think we both know who the cause of that was.' You sigh bitterly, rolling your eyes.

'I wasn't just there to have fun, you know.' Anti teases, causing you to look into his green and blue eyes.

'While the power circuits were glitching, I thought I'd take a little peep into that Dr's Schnepplestein's computer files. I was surprised what I found.'

'Let me guess, patients' medical records from previous games?' you say sarcastically.

'Even better,' the demon grinned. 'Project Sam as a matter of fact.'

'Project Sam?' you mutter back. 'Wait, Septiceye Sam? Why would that be of any importance?'

'Well, apparently JACK'S little pet is the last of its kind.' Anti grins. 'Old Schneep has a plan to re-animate that ball of slime using cloning technology.'

'So, you're saying Fredrik's cloning Sam to save the Septiceye species?' Well that's a good thing, right? You think to yourself.

'It could be.' You hear him mutter. You forgot that Anti could read minds. You only know because of all the Wattpad stories that portray it so it doesn't surprise you too much.

'So why an interest with the file?' You dare to ask.

'That Irish potato has kept that eyeball all to himself ever since the channel began. With that doctor's plans now deleted from the file, I'll be able to take credit and speed up the project myself.'

'But why? Why do you want to clone Sam?' You ask genuinely confused.

'Like you said. The community created me, then THREW ME ASIDE. Treated me like a criminal. By saving the Septiceyes, they might just consider otherwise. Perhaps, start calling ME the hero, and not so much as their little GLITCH BITCH.' Anti spits.

'I see where you're coming from.' You say. 'So, what do you plan to do?'

'Well...' Anti suddenly starts walking closer to you. His body glitches as he eyes you evilly. You feel a bit uneasy, but you stand your ground as he comes closer, almost touching you.

'I was originally going to take you in, hold you as my prisoner. But, seeming as you know so much...you just might be of some use to me.'

'By what way?' Your voice shakes a little.

'Help me...save the Septiceyes.' Anti's answer shocks you to the core. You did not expect him to ask for help. It's just not his character. But then again, what is his true character?

'Prove to everyone for once and for all that your theories about me are true.' Anti continues. 'Be a hero and overthrow the egos. Show, how Chase, Jamison, Jackieboyman, Marvin, never cared about our favourite green ball. Be a hero. To Jack, the community, yourself.'

'If I do...what's the catch?' You ask, not convinced on the deal.

'No catch.' He replies simply.

'C'mon, there's bound to be something. I know you, I know every part of your multifaceted personali...' Before you know it, you are pinned to the brick wall with a knife, THE knife, held to you neck by Anti. His wicked smile fades into one of pure seriousness as his body glitches and twitches in the septic street light.

'So,' he cackles. 'You think you know me? Think again, sweetheart. You theorists think you know it all, every single part of us. Maybe I won't be so MERCIFUL the next time HE plays another horror game.' You are lost for words. Fear has consumed every part of you as you look into his now dead, black eyes.

'Okay, I-I'll do it.' You sputter in panic. Anti lets you go and you fall to your knees, although glad you are not physically harmed.

'We start tomorrow.' Anti mumbles as he turns to leave the alleyway. 'I'll text you the instructions and talk you through the plan. But remember Y/N.' He turns his face to you, that wicked smile returning. 'I'm always there. Always watching.' With that, he glitched away. You get up off the ground and stumble back to the safety of your apartment. You are in shock. Questions flood you mind but as you near the door to your apartment, you remember that you're helping Anti SAVE the Septiceyes.

'Surely, I'm doing something good, right?' you mumble to yourself as you walk inside, locking the door.
