I Care {Darkiplier}

(̷C҈h̶a҉p̴t̵e̶r҈ 6̷)̸

Your eyelids slowly open, being met with an abyss of nothing. Everything was black. You were lying on the ground when you awoke. You confusingly sit up, stumbling back up on your feet. Were you asleep? Dead even? You felt ill to your stomach, most likely to the impossible scenario you found yourself in. You hesitantly begin your journey through the black nothingness. The abyss you walked in held a sinister feeling, you hated it. As you walk mindlessly your eyes wander around looking for something, anything. You then spot it, a table for two, and what looks to be a man in a suit adding the finishing touches on it. As you grow nearer you notice his skin color, and his outline..grey skin and a 3D outline, it sort of made your head/eyes hurt staring at it. You avert your eyes, wincing. After watching the man for a few minutes you decided to speak. Despite your logic telling you not to say anything to alert your presence.

"Hello?"

The man who looks scarily similar to Mark, looks over at the sound of your voice.

"Seems you have finally awoken. Here," He pulls out a chair from the table. You step back with a doubtful expression, he catches on and in an attempt to convince you he adds, "I have no intent in harming you, I just want to talk."

You cursed internally, you had no choice, besides you didn't want to possibly anger him. That wouldn't end well. So you go over. As you walk, you notice the table, it held a soft decorative sheet over it, on top was a tiny vase in the center with a bouquet of your favorite flowers, a wine bottle, two wine glasses, and two plates, one plate (the one where you would be sitting) has your favorite food, the other had steak with some randomly chosen vegetables on the side. You sat down onto the chair. He lightly applies pressure onto the chair pushing you in. He sits across from you. You try to avoid eye contact, the continuous waves of anxiety hitting you.

"There is no reason to be afraid my dear." He sensed your fear. You felt goosebumps prickle up your arm. Soon you gather what little courage you had and you spoke, finally being able to look him in the eye. Only if just a second. His eyes were a very deep shade of brown almost black.

"W-Who are you?"

Great going (Y/N). Totally showed you aren't afraid!

After finishing your sarcastic comment mentally, you hear a quiet chuckle from the man--no demon--whatever it was, in front of you.

"Call me Dark, sweetheart." you cringe mentally at the pet name. Closer to him, you acknowledge how unnaturally deep and echoey his voice is.

Still feeling intimidated you continue to stutter, "Well..Dark..What do y-you want?"

"I will explain soon. Now that we are here together, I would really like to get to know each other." He clears his throat, before gesturing to the bottle of wine, "Wine?"

You ultimately agree, if his intentions were to kill you he would of done it by now. He grins at your answer as he starts to pour you a glass before himself. As he poured you noticed the flickering of his red and blue outline. It looked as if he were glitching? He hands it to you. As you grab the glass from him you take note of how cold his hand was, just from the brief touch. You take a small swig of the alcoholic beverage before placing it down. You look at the food pausing.

"Go on."

The two of you kept to yourselves whilst eating. After you finished you let your eyes wander the abyss. You had no clue where you were. This was probably another dream right? Like the cabin where you had you first encounter with him? You broke the silence "Were you the one who..sent those notes..and that flower?" You point to the vase that held said flowers. It was probably obvious who did it, but you couldn't help but ask.

He nods, "Correct. Now..I'm sure you are wondering why I brought you here."

"Yeah."

"Well you see, you are an important piece of the puzzle. You have been chosen, you are very important. I've been waiting a long time to see you again (Y/N)."

This was the first time you heard your name roll off his tongue. You feel, again, sick to your stomach. What the hell was he meaning saying you were an important piece of the puzzle?

"To put it simply, I need your assistance. I've been watching you for awhile and it seems you'd make a good fit."

"W-Why would I agree?"

"If you help me, I can help you, it's as simple as that."

You ponder for a moment, this was all too much. You barely knew this man, how would he expect you to help him that easily?

"I'll let you think about it."

You look over him. He seemed serious. As you meet his gaze you felt an odd feeling rising in your chest, it hurt to look at him. You imeddiantly shy back down to stare at the empty plate in front of you.

"Before I make a decision, I need to...H-How do i say this? Understand you better. You probably k-know everything about me, but I don't know much about you, other t-then you w-wear the face of a f-friend of mine." you muttered.

After he took in your response he stands up. He steps around the table to you, once more grabbing the chair you sat in.

"I understand, it was wrong of me to come off so strong my dear." He whispers in your ear, his head above your shoulder. You felt blood rush to your face nervously, as you felt his breath against your ear while he pulled the chair out from the table. He moves his head once he lets go of the chair. You slowly rise from your seat, turning to look at him. He adjusts his tie and suit with a crack of his neck. "I hope to see you soon darling. Hopefully..in a more proper setting."

All you do is give a small nod. "Y-Yeah..L-Likeise."

You were lying to him, yes a small part of you was curious to see where this would go, but you had to be smart. You can't dig yourself a grave. Right?

He nods in return. "Farewell..for now." He releases a deep chuckle as you find yourself waking up back onto the balcony.
