Light to Your Dark

Giving It All Up

*Dark Steve's Point Of View*

"Shadow..." I try to speak but he just runs out. Reverse Steve gives me the death glare and runs after Shadow, I feel my eyes burn with tears. What have I done?

"Dark?" I hear a voice call for me. "Dark?" They call again. I can't respond, can't speak, all I can do is lay on my bed and curl up into a little ball. "Dark, if you don't answer the door, I'm coming in." A few moments later the door opens but I don't even bother looking for who it is.

Tears are still falling from my eyes. I was so stupid, to just let my brother walk out, to just stand there. "Dark? What's wrong?" The voice becomes sympathetic. I feel the side of my bed sink down then I feel a hand soothingly runny my back. "Please, talk to me, love." I can't let Nightmare see me this way.

"I-I can't..." I mumble out.

"Dark, at least look at me." Nightmare says.

I can't, cant move, can't speak, can't do anything. Moments later, Nightmare picks me up bridal style and sets me back on the bed and he sits back down, he lays me so I'm forced to look at him.

*Nightmare Steve's Point Of View*

I sit back down and look at my Dark Steve and I see his eyes red and puffy and his cheeks are stained from tears, I can't help but feel my heart break. Who did this to him?

"Dark, please, talk to me." I beg.

He just sighs. "Shadow and Reverse left us.." he mumbles.

"What!?" I'm shocked, I figured Reverse would but not Shadow. He was always loyal to us. "What did they say?"

"Shadow said 'we're out, you in' and of course I said no. He then then started to tear up and I asked him why he was crying and he just sung a song that represented our past then we all started getting tears in our eyes and he ran out, Reverse gave me a death glare and then he ran out after Shadow..." the barely finishes before breaking down completely. I just hold him in my arms, holding him tightly, honestly, why did I ever chose to become evil... I mean if I didn't, I wouldn't be here with him, but I caused him pain from choosing evil and his brother walking out...

I don't know what to do, I don't understand how I should respond. Should I just give evil up? Would Dark stay with me? Would anyone even trust us? Maybe I should just give in...

"Nightmare... is it wrong that I want to join them... I know you would hate m-me, but I want to be a good brother... I want to stop!" Dark says breaking more, I guess from the thought of me hating him.

"Dark.."

"Just say it! I know you will hate me!!" Dark yells as he lunges out of my arms and starts to hover over me.

"Dark, I..."

"You do hate me..." He mumbles as he loses flight.

"DARK! I DON'T HATE YOU!! I LOVE YOU! AND I WANT TO GIVE UP EVIL!" I shout and he looks at me tears threatening to fall.

"You... don't hate me..?" He ask.

"Of course not!" I say lifting him up and hold him in my arms. He then kisses my lips, I hastily kiss him back. It's decided then, we need to find Reverse and Shadow and regroup and confess to Rainbow Steve and Blue Steve.

We have been walking for a long time but Dark and I finally sense Reverse and Shadow's power so we should be able to catch up with them soon. A few more minutes of walking we finally find them.

"Shadow!!" Dark yells his eyes tearing up. Both Reverse and Shadow turn around, Reverse with a death glare and Shadow with a happy and terrified expression. Dark them holds his arms out and Shadow runs to Dark and they both share a hug.

"Why did you follow us!? Reverse ask with anger in his voice.

"We want to give up evil, Dark wants to be a good brother and I want to be able to support what he wants." I convince them to believe me, I mean it's true.

"Ok, so that's great and all, BUUUT.... WHAT ABOUT PLAGUE STEVE!?!?" Reverse yells and Dark and I exchange terrified glances.

"Nightmare?" Dark turns to me.

"I forgot about that bitch..." I mumble.

"Dammit! Nightmare, he's more powerful than all of us combined! He was the one that would heal us when we where hurt! He was the one we would train with, we couldn't hurt him and if we did our training would be complete... BUT NONE OF US CAN LAY A HAND ON HIM!! HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO FIGHT HIM! We technically betrayed him! SO TELL ME, HOW DO WE DEAL WITH HIM!? Once he realises we're gone, HE'S GOING TO TRY RO KILL US!!!" Reverse says, ranting at this point.

"Hope..?" Shadow says shyly.

"Really, Shadow, Yeah, because Plague is totally NOT going to came after us for leaving him to be good!" I say sarcastically.

"CAN YOU ALL STOP!!" Dark yells. "Being sarcastic and yelling clearly isn't getting us anywhere!"

"Oh, and how did you figure that one out, did your little boyfriend whisper it into your ear?" Reverse says crossing his arms and rolling his eyes.

"Hey! Don't you dare disrespect him!" I yell getting defensive.

"How about you all SHUT IT!!" Shadow and Dark say together, if you didn't know they were brothers, you would definitely know now.

"How about we start walking to Rainbow and Blue Steve's village." Dark suggests.

"Agreed." I say and we all start walking, it's going to be a long walk.
