Not Easy Being Me: part 31

Back at the manor, in the studio, Marvin was trying to open a barrier through the window that the DA and Dark disappeared through but was having a difficult time, trying to find the right spells. While he was doing that, Anti and the Jims were cleaning up the mess that Dark left behind disposing of the bodies and cleaning the blood. Wilford was sitting with the Host, wrapping a blanket around him, hearing him sniffle right next to him. He then laid his gray hand on his shoulder giving it a gentle squeeze. "It's okay pally. Just relax."

"Th-Th H-Host thanks Wilford f-for his kindness." The host whispered clutching the blanket tightly.

"How did the DA do this to you?" Wilford questioned looking up at the host.

"Th-The host c-couldn't sense th-them... Th-they mimicked the m-mirror somehow and... T-took control." The host began to tremble as he curled in on himself. "It h-hurt s-so much. Shards of g-glass poking and s-stabbing th-the host f-from th-the inside. And all he could d-do was w-watch as th-they-."

"Hosty calm down." The now dark ego whispered pulling the host close as he sobbed into the blanket staining it with his blood. "It's okay. It won't happen again. I'll be sure of that."

"We are done, Dark Jim." One of the Jims said, wiping blood off their face.

"Good work." Wilford sighed. "Take Host to Iplier to get fresh bandages."

"Yes sir, come on narrator Jim," Jim said as he helped the host up and lead him out of the room.

Wilford watched as they left before turning to Bim was pacing deep in thought, causing him to sigh as he stood up, walking over to the show host who paused looking at him. "I'm... Sure... You have a lot of questions."

Bim gave him a nod, looking into his eyes. "How... How did this happen?"

"Anti's an idiot!" Marvin commented.

"Fuck you!" Anti snapped as he cleaned his knife in the corner.

"Anti wanted us to stop fighting and well he thought he if we walked in each other's shoes then we would learn our lesson," Wilford answered.

Bim thought for a moment before looking at the mirror. "And... The glass thing?"

"... That is the DA." Wilford answered solemnly. "... Dark trapped them in his void and kept them there with his power... But we switched bodies and well... They broke free... And now they are after Dark."

Bim nods his head, beginning to get it. "So... I've been hanging with Dark the whole time?" He asked, watching as Wilford nods his head yes. "And... That night when... Dark slammed me into the wall...That was you."

Wilford looked at the ground tears formed in his eyes as he let out a shaky sigh. "... I'm s-so sorry." He whispered.

"Oh, Wil." Bim sighed as he pulled the dark ego into a hug feeling as he latched onto him trembling into his arms.

"You don't know h-how b-bad I wanted to t-tell you th-that." Wilford whimpered resting his head on Bim's shoulder, feeling as Bim began to rock back and forth, rubbing his back. "I-I had n-no c-control. Bimmy I'm sorry."

"It's okay Wil it's okay," Bim whispered. "You didn't mean it. I know that now."

Wilford smiled as he rested his head on Bim's shoulder, letting out a sigh. After a moment they broke the hug, Wilford taking a moment to wip his tears.

"So... It wants to kill Dark?" Bim asked adjusting his suit.

"Yes. Dark took their body and the only way to get it back is to crush his soul and send mine back so that they could claim this body."
