Not Easy Being Me

Not Easy Being Me: part 32

The glass demon slowly prowled forward, causing Wilford, Marvin, Anti, and Bim to back away, Wilford keeping Dark behind him, guarding him against the DA. The DA grinned as most of the ego drew their weapons, Marvin pulling out his wand, ready to cast, Anti clutching the hilt of his knife tightly, growling at it with anger in his eyes, and Bim holding a handgun in his hands, aiming it at the glass demon, but it ignored them, only focusing on the scared switched egos.

"I don't understand, why lead us right to him?" Marvin questioned, watching the DA close, waiting for any sudden movements.

"Dark wouldn't snap out of it... he thought he was Wilford the whole time when he was here." The DA explained, looking at Marvin with a bored expression. "The only person that could snap him out of it was Wilford, and you three just so happened to tag along with him, to my annoyance." The DA paused as it's smile returned, looking at Wilford with its corrupt emerald eyes. "But thanks to you Wil... you managed to bring back the very demon that caused our suffering, and I couldn't be more grateful." It whispered, watching as Wilford looked at it in fear, as it began to walk forward, looking right at Dark, who flinched. "But I can take it from here now, Wil... Just step aside."

Wilford shook his head, feeling as Dark held onto his grey suit, while Wilford put a protective arm on him, keeping the now pink ego behind himself. "No."

"Don't make this difficult Wil... hand. him. over... now." The DA growled, still prowling forward, watching as the egos backed up, all guarding Dark.

"You are not taking him." Wilford began. "I won't let you."

The DA paused, looking at Wilford with anger in its eyes. "Have you forgotten what that demon did?!" It snapped pointing at Dark. "How he took my body? trapped the twins within him to keep his true monstrous form from showing... How he pushed me out into a broken mirror, leaving me for dead... He's nothing but a monster-."

"He is not a monster." Wilford corrected, looking up at Dark, who's the feature's softened. "He's my best friend."

The DA looked between the two in shock before shaking their head in anger. "Do you know who you are defending?" the DA snaped, its anger only growing. "He was just using you for his own benefit! He made you feel like you were a fool, calling you hot-headed or stupid, making you feel like you were worth nothing! and let's not forget the fact that he lied to you about the twins, lying about how they were long gone, lying to you about everything! How can you forgive him so easily after all the shit he's done?!"

"Because he's changed! He's not the same demon all those years ago!" Wilford answered, looking at the DA, who's features softened. "I know this because I was the one that changed him... I showed him that there was more to life than vengeance and hate." Wilford then turned to Dark with a smile. "I was able to break through that cold exterior and bring out the good that was trapped inside of him." Wilford then turned back to the DA, who looked from him to Dark, and back at him with confusion in their features. Wilford gave them a small smile, slowly walking forward. "Yes, Dark made mistakes. He may have been a cold heartless creature at one point in his life and yes he did push you out of your body, used me for his benefit... but the Dark that is within my body is not that same Dark all those years ago... this Dark regrets every decision that led to what you are now." Wilford watched as the DA backed away, still looking at him with confusion in their glass features. "He wants to make it right... But he can't do that if you walk down this path of bloodshed and vengeance... Let's just stop this fight." Wilford tried with a smile, watching as the DA's green eyes slowly turned to grey, looking at him in shock, causing Wilford to reach for them. "Let's try to fix the broken pieces... Let me and Dark try and-."

"NO!" the DA suddenly screeched clawing at Wilford who backed away his smile being replaced with terror as he continued to back up, watching as the DA grabbed at its head. "NONONO! DON'T YOU SEE? HE'S PULLED THE WOOL OVER YOUR EYES AGAIN! HE'S FAKING IT, HE HASN'T CHANGED! HE'S JUST USING YOU AGAIN AND YOU ARE FALLING FOR HIS LIES!" The DA breathed heavily ignoring the hurt in Wilford's eyes as it slowly looked at Dark, a growl escaping its lips. "But don't worry Wil... after I crush his damn soul... you'll be free from him... you'll see."
