The next day was peaceful. I was happy, well rested and I felt free. Almost like weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I took a hot shower and put on a pair of green shorts and a white tanktop. I put my hair up in a pony tail and walked into the living room. I then went into the kitchen and made some coffee. Then I proceeded to sit on the couch with my legs crossed and picked up the remote. I was in awe once I realized I had Netflix on my T.V. I quickly put on sponge bob and got comfy.
Halfway through the episode I was interrupted by a light knock at the door. I paused it and listened for another knock. Another could be hear but this time it was slightly louder. I stood up and walked over to the door with a smile. When I opened it my eyes met the gaze of the dark haired gentlemen that was none other then Mark himself.
"Uh, Hi. I'm sorry for not doing this yesterday. I wasn't feeling so well, Uh... I just wanted to warn you." He paused for a second and I looked down.
"Do you wanna come inside?" I said slightly embarrassed.
"uh, Sure." He nodded as I stepped aside to let him in. "So as I was saying. I wanted to warn you about me screaming sometimes. I work as a gamer for YouTube and" He said before I interrupted.
"Really?." I asked and sat back down on the couch. "Want to sit?" I asked while pointing at the empty space on the sofa.
"Yeah." He said in a surprised tone.
"That sounds fun" I nodded slightly.
"Yeah, It is. I'm Mark Fischbach. My channel is Markiplier." He then smiled.
"I'll have to check it out and It's nice to meet you." I grabbed my cup of coffee and took a small sip.
"Nice to meet you too. May I ask your name?" He watched me sip my drink.
"I'm Echo, Echo Richards." I said with a soft smile.
"That name sounds familiar...." He said in a tone that made him seem very uncomfortable.
"There was a whole big story of how I died in Cincinnati." I sighed. "But I wasn't dead. The entire time I was in my coma." I smirked. "I am happy I got out alive." I took another sip of my coffee.
"That's good. May I ask you something?" His tone and the way he presented himself completely changed.
"Sure." I nodded.
"Are you scared easily?" He asked.
"Honestly I can't really remember. After I woke from my Coma, I can barely remember things. I know general things. But, Things about myself and what had happened briefly before my accident. It;s like it never happened. For the most part I am starting life over." I put my head down.
"I don't know how to respond to that because It's sad yet good." He laughed a bit.
"It's good I think." I smiled
"Well, It was nice meeting you Echo, I hope to get to come over again, I have to go record some videos." He said as he stood up.
"It was nice meeting you too Mark. I'll check out your channel sometime." I nodded.
I stod up and walked him out and before he walked away he waved. I waved back and smiled. After shutting the door, my legs carried my over to the couch. I laid down covering myself back up and put on American Dad. Thirty Minutes passes and I fell asleep dreaming of something horrible.
Everything. EVERYTHING that had happened. I remember it now! Mark kidnapping me. Being in the basement. Dark trying to kill me. Then A horrible scene played back in my head making me want to cry.
"Mark? Mark!?"I screamed as I noticed he wasn't moving.
"You do what I want and he will live for now. And I'll only show up in videos for the rest of time." Dark laughed.
"What do I have to do?" I asked while looking back at Dark.
'Kill Yourself." He said so simply and without any emotion.
"I-I can't!" I said while shaking my head.
"Oh really? Then Mark never see's the light of day and I have the body of YouTube's most beloved man. Sounds good?" He laughed.
"I'll kill you." I said with tears running down my cheeks.
I woke up crying and shaking. I covered my ears as mine and Dark's conversation played over and over again. It wont stop. It's never gonna stop. I cried ,Louder and Louder it got. God! Make it stop! PLEASE! Someone help me! Do something anybody!
Then, silence. It all, just stopped. I took my hands off of my ears and relaxed. It was done. I remember everything. Then once again something happened. Mark walked into my house but it....Wasn't;t him. It looked like him but, Oh god.....
I was struck with something metal once again and I blacked out. This was not happening again..... If I could stop it I would. But I can't right now....
