The Dark Glitch

Part 4

a/n: when you see DC, it means Dark Cassi, and when you see DD, it means Dark Dax

DC sees him and turns up her nose slightly and starts circling him, taking him all in. DD smirks at her and says in his low voice, "Damn, you look like t̶͓͗r̸̹̓ö̵̺ú̴̞b̶̟̈ĺ̷͍e̴̠̿ .." But DC replies, "Oh, more trouble than you can h̶̙͗a̷̢̛n̶̤̋d̶̠̿l̵̙̀e̸̩͐..." She says in his ear in her seductive voice after circling him. They both chuckle as their flirting/banter didn't mean anything, yet...

DC starts an actual conversation by saying, "Well, it's great to f̵̹͊ȉ̵̮n̸͙̈́a̴̮͑l̸͓̾l̸̙͘ỵ̵͠  have someone to talk to around here." DD replies, "you never get to talk to anyone?"  "y̴̛̘ǫ̴͌ṷ̶̾ ̷̰̚d̷̰͒o̴̱͋?̵̣̍!̴͖̽"  DC replies angrily and annoyed. "Well, not e̷̲̍x̶̧̿ǎ̶̦c̶̼̏t̸̨͘ļ̷͗y̸̡̋ !" he says, "I can influence what Dax says to other people sometimes, though that doesn't happen very often because he doesn't have many f̵̱̌r̷̺̄i̶̝͊ḛ̸͝n̶̙͌d̵̹̂s̶̜̾ ."

"Hey, at least you get to i̴̼͝ń̸̯f̷̛̩l̷̻̈u̴̙̾ȇ̵͖n̴̳͆c̷̦̋e̴̗̓  what he says," DC says angrily, "Cassi has had me her w̴̫͊ḥ̵͌o̵͈̾l̷̨̏ė̵͕ ̷̱͘l̴͓̾i̶͔̕f̴̹͆ẽ̵͖ , so she knows how to r̷̞̕ĕ̷̳s̸͎̓t̷̨͘r̵͓̎a̷̫̐i̶͑ͅn̵͕̓ me in the back of her mind!" She lets out an exasperated sigh, "If she would just let me in, she wouldn't fear me any longer. She could make everyone bow down to her with my kind of p̴͉̌ò̷̰ẅ̵̳́e̵̤͆ŕ̶̞! it's more than her tiny brain could imagine."

"She's had you for that long?" DD says, but continues, "I was created in Dax's mind at the age of 5 when he started having ̴̘̀D̸̰͝ȇ̵͎p̵̠̿r̸̳̂è̸͕s̸̝̿s̶̹̏ì̶͜o̷̭͐n̸̠͌  and  a̵͙̕n̷̺̄x̴̻̀ǐ̴̲e̸̡͐t̸̖͘y̴̠͝  when his dad d̸̘̓i̴͈̚ȅ̵ͅd̸͈͠ " DC replies more calmly, "I'm guessing that's why he doesn't have much control as Cassi does." That's when they both started to open up, but don't realize it.

DD replies, "If he could just ǘ̷̮ṇ̸͋d̴͚̍e̸͊ͅr̸͖̐s̴͕̈́t̵̺͛a̸̝̔n̷̼͗ḓ̵̿  what it feels like to be pushed aside, and doubted, and, and..."  "And taken for granted? Making you feel like a w̵̰͌e̵̲͝a̴̱͂k̸̳̇l̵̨͊i̸̬͒n̶͎̈́g̶̢͊  when you know you're more powerful than them." DC finished for him. "YES! exactly," he says. "Well," DC said, "I guess you're the first person who actually ù̸̘n̷͈͆ḋ̶̤ȇ̷̙r̸̤͘s̸̤͛ẗ̸͉ä̸̮́n̷̞̏d̶̘̏s̴̹̈  me." "yeah" he replies, "I guess so."

They both realize how vulnerable they are, and start to get a BIT defensive...

There is an uncomfortable silence, but DC breaks it. "But you're not going to tell ä̶͓n̷̠̔y̸̩̆o̶̪̎n̶̲̚ȇ̴̘  about this conversation, ̷͔̓r̶̟̈ȋ̷̬g̵͉̃h̴̞̉t̶̗̔ ?!" She said aggressively. But continues, "Cause I could k̶̖̚í̸̜l̵̤̽l̸̔ͅ you if I wanted to.." She said with a slight smile. "Believe me," DD said, "I can tell, But I could do the s̷̨̽ä̸͍m̷͕̽e̴̻̅  thing to you if you told a̸̯̚n̶̯̎y̶̾ͅo̵̞͝n̵͚͛ė̴͇ ."

"Oh please, you wouldn't ḓ̷̀a̴̙̓r̶̡̾ê̶̩ hurt a girl." She said innocently, "e̸̺͘s̷͍̏p̶̧͘e̶̳̒c̷̲̕i̶̺̒a̷̞͐l̶͍͌l̷̳̽y̶̫͂ not one with my kind of p̶̼̀o̸̧͑ẁ̸̯ḛ̴̽r̸͚̿.̴̻̈́ ." She speaks seriously that time. "Oh really?" DD said, "T̶͉͂ṟ̵̈́ẙ̴͇ ̷̳͊m̷̩̄ę̵͠." As soon as the words escaped his lips, she conjured up a dagger and pulled it up to his throat. Their faces inches apart, but DD does as well at the same time conjuring up his own dagger up to her throat. "Huh..." She said approvingly. As DC starts pulling her dagger away, realizing what she is doing, DD does the same. But in that instance, a spark lights up in both of them and they are left staring into each other's hollow eyes. But the moment is broken when DD starts twitching and glitching.

Dax was trying to push DD back into his own mind, and DC is left feeling confused as to what she is feeling. But soon after she too starts twitching and glitching as Cassi was regaining her strength and started to push DC back to the edges of Cassi's mind. But DC just stays in the back thinking about that one moment, trying to savor it. Cassi Tries to go about her day normally, but ends up calling her parents saying she will be coming home early because she doesn't "feel well".
