I'm Afraid (DC)

GUYS! WE DID IT! #11 IN JACKSEPTICEYE!

~Jackie~

I dashed out into the hallway my fists were swallowed by fire as I grabbed the fucker that scared Anti. As I was about to punch Jack grabbed my shoulder.

"Wait! Don't hurt him!" The hesitance giving me time to look at the man. He was small and pale with messy blue hair. "Ethan?"

Dark broke through the crowd to see what was happening. "That's not Ethan, its Blank. How ya been buddy?" Blank turned to him then to Anti and back to Dark again. 

"Wha- hap-d?" Blank asked string at me with no emotion in his eyes. I set him back down as Dark walked over to Anti who was huddled in a corner and crying. "An-i alri-t?"

"He's okay Blank, just lost his memory is all." Dark said trying to get Anti to look at him.

"W-AT?" Blank watched as Dark gave up and walked to the front desk. Blank the slowly walked towards Anti and put a comforting hand on his shoulder. I watched in amazement as Anti grabbed Blank's hand, pulling him into a hug. Blank hugged back and Anti leaned into him crying softly as the blue haired demon whispered to him. Anti fell asleep on his shoulder and Blank called Dark over.

"What did you do to him?" Marvin asked curiously. 

"That's one of Blank's powers." Dark explained moving to pick up Anti. "He can use verbal hypnosis along with other things. He's not like me and Anti, who were created to be villains. Blank here is more of a... better version of Ethan." Marvin's eyes sparked with interest as watched Blank blush slightly and shift uncomfortably. "Although he can be pretty scary when you get to know him."

I watched with slight concern as Dark moved Anti onto the wheelchair. Blank then timidly tapped Dark's shoulder and whispered something to him. Dark chuckled and nodded making Blank sigh with relief. 

"Well, me and Blank are going to head out. I hope I see you guys at the manor soon." Blank nodded in agreement and the two demons walked out while wheeling Anti along. 

~Time skip~

"I still don't trust him." Chase said for what seemed like the hundredth time.

"I know Chase, I don't fully trust him either." I agreed while Marvin groaned.

"Guys I trust them. Yes, i'm still pissed at Dark but Anti was much happier at the manor than he was with us. The only one he actually liked was JJ." Marvin said.

'Because you assholes never listened to him!' JJ signed angrily. 'Kind of sad really. He depended on the mute.' 

"JJ is right... we were never really helpful..." Henrik said while pouring his coffee. 

"Can we all shut up about Anti?" Jack asked from the living room couch. "That ass has gotten enough attention from you guys."
