*Discontinued* Tortured Love

"Oh, come on, Ivy! I thought you knew me better than that!" Anti yelled out as he whipped his arm through the air sending another puppet in to lash at the dark demon. JJ watched with tears in his eyes as Anti slowly made his way to the center of the room. Anti's eyes were watching everything and anything as Ivy screamed out sending a blast of dark energy at a him. Anti flinched causing a puppet to rush in and block it, turning to dust instantly making Anti growl. "Do you realize how hard it is to replace these, God damn it? I can't exactly get a new one if I promised not to kill people!" 

"That's your problem, Anti." Ivy lashed out with a vine only to growl as Anti glitched out sending electricity at her. "You would have never promised that before. You're a demon, Anti. I'm trying to save you."

"I don't need saving." Ivy jumped, whipping around to find Anti standing there with a wicked smirk. His fingers twitched and a gun went off catching her in the arm as Anti fake pouted. "He's not Chase but he's still a good shot. Now, Ivy... Be a good girl and drop de-..." Anti froze up with a frown as he looked down to see Ivy's knife impaled into a small puppet who jumped in just seconds before she could hurt him. "Well, shit. You killed a kid." Anti spun nailing his heal into her temple and sending her flying as the puppet dropped. Anti frowned as he just stared at it for a while. "It's a kid..." His eyes went to JJ for a second before smiling. "Eh, whatever..." He held his hand out making a few puppets disappear. The kid shook and twitched as Anti's eyes started to glow even brighter.

"Anti, I swear to..." The kid suddenly appeared in front of her lashing out with punches and kicks at a speed it hadn't originally been able to have. "WHAT THE..."

"I'm a master puppeteer." Anti beamed as he held his hands out making JJ's eyes go wide at the sheer amount of bodies that surrounded the demon. "Did you really think I wouldn't know a way to protect my favorite ones?" Anti pulled his arm to his chest causing the kid to fly back to him moments before Ivy was about to take his head off. "What is with you and kids? Is that why you took JJ? The man's too pure..."

"I took him because he was there!" Ivy growled as he threw several knives at them only to frown seeing Anti whip them out of the air with his threads. 

"You don't have a chance at winning Ivy. You know this. I'm one of the superiors. There are only two other demons who could beat me... and you are not one of them."

"I wouldn't have to if you listened to me in the first place!" Anti frowned as his fingers twitched and moved as if playing the Ivy just smiled psychotically as she swayed gripping her knife. "I'll force you to listen. I'll save you. You'll finally be." Her voice was cut off by the sound of her getting pummeled by a bunch of puppets and Anti laughed. 

"Anti... climactic." Anti couldn't stop the giggles that erupted from him. "Bitch you actually thought you would win against me. I'm Anti-fucking-septiceye. I'm the Glitch Demon. You're nothing." Anti's eyes flashed as his rage burned through him. "And you're lucky being with Jack has taught me some restraint. I want you dead. I want to tear you apart limb from bloody limb. I want to hear your screams as I dig into your flesh with meat claws. I want to turn you inside out. Maybe even give Robbie some nice... 'fresh' meat this time." The sound of something stomping caught his attention and Anti sighed. "But I won't... I won't because he's here... and I don't want him to suffer more than what you already did to him."

"Jamie?" Anti slowly walked over with this light in his eyes that caught JJ by surprise. Anti smiled as he carefully cut the rope free. JJ literally slammed into the demon who froze up feeling the intense pain in his chest overseeing Jamie in so much pain. "J-JJ?" JJ frowned as he pulled away only to see the tears in Anti's eyes. "JJ, I'm sorry." His eyes went wide as Anti clutched his shirt tightly wincing. "I'm sorry. It's my fault. All of it... The trip... You getting upset... Ivy... It's all my fault and I'm sorry."

'You're crying.' Anti's eyes narrowed as he brushed away his own tears and frowned. His eyes darkened as he nodded and looked away. 

"Yeah... I am. I do that... sometimes. I'll explain. I will. But first I have to get you home." Anti smiled sadly as he held JJ's hand firmly. "I just want you safe."

"Awe, how touching..." JJ let out a silent scream as Ivy suddenly popped up behind Anti stabbing him in the back with her knife as she laughed. "But there's no point in explaining anything. I've already told him about it all." Anti coughed as she dug her blade farther into him. "I will admit though, I did get one thing wrong." JJ stumbled back feeling his anger and fear building in him as Anti's eyes started to glass over. "You see I had it in my head that it was Jack that you fell for."

"It's not Jack." Anti croaked out as his eyes met with JJ's. He smiled softly as he clenched his fists. They started glitching sporadically as his threading tensed and shimmered. Ivy laughed as he twisted the knife causing Anti to cry out in pain.

"No, I see now that it isn't. Why him, Anti?" Ivy smiled wickedly as Anti panted. "Why'd you ever fall for him?" Anti laughed tiredly as his threading cut into Ivy's hand causing her to let go and jump back. Anti fell forward catching himself slightly as he glared back with a malice you could literally feel. 

"You don't know him like I do."
