The Dark Side

Chapter three

(Slight gore warning)

Y/N POV

I wake up from a nice night of sleep. I do my usual routine of outfit breakfast and pack my things. I start to make my way out of the house the beautiful weather greats me. The cool air blows on my face. In a matter of seconds I'm at marks lab.

I open the door to a strange sight. Mark running around papers all over the place, books just half open. And mark just running back and forth between tables and desks mumbling to himself.

   "I'm mark are you okay" he turns to me as if he was caught. "Oh he-hey Y/N" he gives  me a uncertain smile. "Are you good you seem tense" I start walking slowly to him. He puts up his arms an indication for me to stop. "No no no. Everything is okay. Yeah everything is good I just have to do things today so. We can't really do work today. I'm so busy you see" he gestures to the room "Yeah. I see that" I look around suspicious. He then starts pushing me out the door "Yeah well I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Can't wait to work again. I mean with you. I have so much to do well bye" he then slams the door shut. "Okay bye Mark"

  I then start making my way towards the inn. My whole mood from this morning has changed. I never remember mark ever canceling one of our lessons. Also most of the town is scared of him. Not because he was a scary person but since the cat incident only me and the police talked to him. I break out of my thoughts bumping into a wall.

  "Wow are you okay. I look up to see a unfamiliar man not a wall as I thought. He had golden hair, a scraggy beard, and soft blue eyes. "Yeah I fine I've just been very lost in my thoughts. Sorry to disturb you." I say a little sheepish. "He chuckles "Its fine really it happens to all of us. Just be a little more careful" he then starts walking away. Confident with every step. I start walking back on my route realizing I'm only a few steps away from the inn.

    I'm about to walking in when I see a poster. Of the same man I bumped into "Vote now for your local bro. Vote for Felix for mayor." I roll my eyes at cheesy tag line and go to Star my shift

  I walk into a new sight. Being it's only three in the afternoon I don't expect anyone to be drinking but I see Dan sobbing while drinking a beer with three empty bottles next to him. Jack runs up to me "Hey what's up with him?" I ask Jack "He's been here for an hour just drinking and crying but not saying a thing" "Okay I'll go talk to him" I go to where Dan is and I sit in the bar stool next to him. "Hey buddy is everything okay?" I ask trying to get something out of him. He just shakes his head. "Well do you wanna tell me." He puts his head in my hands

"Phil he's dead" he shouts. I'm filled with shock how could anyone do such a thing. I hug him his tears staining my outfit. "I'm so sorry Dan you too were such good friends." He then whispers to me. "We were so much more." I then hug him tighter "Losing a loved one is never easy." He looks up to me "I found his head in a alley with his clothes and bones around it. The bones were clean and the only thing on his shirt was a stab wound right in his heart."  I try to fathoms it. Seeing your lover and best friends head and no body just there bones. I look up to him "Hey all your drinks are gonna be on me okay." He shakes his head "No no I can't" he drunkenly declines "You can and you want to." He nods agreeing. I take all the empty bottles from around him.

Jacks looked at me shocked "All his drinks on you, Y/N you can barely afford rent. You can not pay for a depressed mans drinking problem." "Were not giving him more drinks. Just fill these empty bottles with tap water. He's so sloshed I don't think he can tell anymore." I pause " Poor guy he found his friends head an a alley" "Holy shit." He shouts I shush him "Shut up we don't need him having a mental breakdown in the tavern. Before happy hour starts I'll take him home then come back I don't want him out on the streets during the drunken men hour." "Okay." He fills a bottle with water "Go give that to him if he gets suspicious tell him it's new in stock." I nod and go to hand Dan the new bottle. He takes it and just drinks it with no suspicion. "If you need me I'll be down stairs okay" he nods taking another sip. I then make my way down stairs and start checking out what we do and don't have what we do and don't need.

Time skip

I look at the times it's four thirty. And Dan looks completely and utterly sloshed. I go up to him "Hey Dan wanna go home" "YeAh baby."I forgot he was a flirty drunk. "Alright let's go" he grabs my hand and we start heading out and he trips I pick him up to his feet "Thank kitty" he slurs. We start heading out it's quite but I like it "you know what your pretty." He says as it's a fact "thanks Dan" "you know what Phil always told me. 'If you ever die I'm gonna die too.' And I always thought it was a bit weird now I look back and realize he didn't wanna go on without me and I can't go on without him." He let's go of me and goes into the road  laying down. "DRIVE OVER ME" I look at him the thing about his plan is no one is driving now and he just shouting into the sky no one is even on the street. "Dan get up  please no one is gonna drive over you." Fine" he gets up and starts wildly vomiting. I run over to him rubbing his back as he vomits into the street. Once he finally stops I get him up. Then we walk in a nice silence to his house

We get to a road. "My house is just down the road I'll be fine" "Okay will I see you tomorrow?" I ask "No I think I need a little break from that stuff" I nod "we'll see you around Dan" I wave off "See you around Y/N" I then start making my way back to the inn. I'm broken out of my thoughts by a loud scream from the way I came. I then start running to where I heard the noise.

I look down the street and see dans head surrounded by his bones and clothes. Blood is all over the sidewalk. But the bones a pure white as if they were fake. I hold back the vomit from my mouth. I scream for help hoping to get anyone's attention. I wake up the entire street and someone goes to get the police. How could anyone do this I was only gone for a few minutes. Some one comes up behind me it officer Ethan rubbing my back. He then picks me up and puts me in a police car but I can't take my eyes of the sight. I just now deep down this is my fault

(So for the small amount of people that actually read this I'm back and I think better at what I do to be honest I was just really lazy I'm sorry I didn't update in forever)
