The Shadow in the Mirror (Markiplier X Darkiplier X Reader)

Separate Minds Don't Think Alike

{A/N: I'm back!! Did you all miss me? I have been on writer's block for too long and now, I have returned. I am going to finish this story and I promise because in about 10 months, I leave for basic training in the air force. Thank you all for the reads and I will try to write as much as I can each week. Now, the moment we've all been waiting for... The continuation of the story. Cheers!}

{Y/N Point of View}: Mark has been of the edge lately. He is nervous about the separation and he is not alone. I don't know how I should feel about it but this might be the only way to gain some peace. I wanted to see how Mark was doing before we did the separation spell. I go into his room and it looks like he is having a conversation with the mirror. I hide in the doorway and try to see what he could be doing. In the mirror it's not Mark's reflection, but Darkiplier himself. I try to listen to their conversation but they are speaking too softly. I leave them in their discussion because I didn't want to get on Dark's bad side for ease dropping. I go to the living room and start playing with Chica. I play tug-a-war with her and fetch. Then I feel Mark's arms wrap around me. I am confused but then feel tears on my shoulder. I look up and see him crying. I turn and give him a hug trying to comfort him. "Y/N, I don't want to loose you to him. I want you to stay with me." says Mark. "Mark, what are you talking about? You're not going to loose me. Now let's do this so we can get him to stop tormenting us. I trust that it will go smoothly." Mark nods his head and takes a deep breath in. "Okay, let's do this." Mark replies.

{Mark's Pov}: I am trembling with fear and don't want to go through with this but I need to. Dark has been draining my energy level lately. Before I went to Y/N I had a discussion with Dark. I laid down some rules with Dark hoping that he would get the gist. He seemed okay with it until I mentioned the last rule..."Stay away from Y/N. She is too sweet and nice for you. I want to try to make things work between us." "WhAt Do YoU mEaN?!?! I can talk to her if I want to and I will get her to fall for me. I can offer her things that you can't! Do you thin she will stay after seeing who you truly are yah wimp."  I didn't like the sound of that I wanted to keep Y/N safe and protect her from him. I don't know anymore but whatever makes her happy.

I step into the middle of the room and Y/N looks at me with concern but she starts saying the spell.  "Maka Iplier  Daak Iplier Separate. Maka Iplier Daak Iplier Separate. Maka Iplier Daak Iplier Separate!"  Then I started to feel strange. As if there was something burning in my chest. making it's way up through my throat and into my head. I screamed out in pain as the burning continued. Y/N stopped chanting and came to my side. But, as if there was a force field around me, she couldn't get to my side.  My mind was going blank and all I could see was darkness. Then all of a sudden there was light again and I was hunched over on the floor. Y/N was finally at my side but there was someone else in the room. Darkiplier was finally out of my head and standing in front of us. He had that smirk of evil plastered over his face. This isn't going to end well.
