Hawk Meets Markiplier

Log Entry part 15

 The meeting adjourned and everyone left but Mark and me.

            “Now what?” He asked. “I go home?”

            “No, actually,” I answered and got out of my chair. I walked behind his chair and put my hands on his shoulders. I closed my eyes and ran my fingertips over his skin. I opened my eyes, “whatever that darkness was it’s gone now.”

            “For now…” Mark added. He stood up and looked at me with his dark brown eyes that weren’t that dark before.

            I felt my slight happiness drain from me when he moved over to me.  His energy had shifted. It shifted so rapidly I didn’t even notice.

            Careful Hawk, Whispered Inner Demon into my thoughts. He’s surfaced.

            “Mark, what are you doing?” I asked when he put his hand on my stomach and pushed me into the wall. My stomach heated up and he pulled his hand away but he was too close to move away from. He looked at me with darkened eyes. Dark circles formed under his dark eyes and then I figured it out.

            Get away from him! Yelled Inner Demon before he took control of my left arm again and raised it up above my head. It wasn’t its usual almost black color, it was black.

            Inner Demon tapped into long forgotten powers. He raised my arm and I looked at Mark. I instantly felt sad that he was letting this happen to him.

            My arm gathered its power and I knew this wasn’t going to be good. The heated black orb of fiery energy in my hand sparked a reaction from him that was too late. He stepped back, giving Inner Demon enough room to force the orb into his chest. He used my body to thrust it deeper into his skin and threw him across the room.

            I watched him land and collapse to the floor. The power receded but I didn’t move from my last position. I could only watch as my decision had been tampered with.

            That dark energy shouldn’t bother him for a while, Inner Demon told me before keeping quiet.

            I straightened up and walked around the meeting table and sat down next to his unconscious form. I moved him onto his back and looked at his chest. Almost no damage could be seen.

            “Good.” I whispered and put my hand on the remaining damage. I waited for him to wake up and didn’t expect it to take long.

            He finally moved and woke up, “Ugh, what happened?” he asked, putting his hand on his head. “I feel like I got my head smashed against a wall.” he looked at me.

            “You don’t remember being taken over do you?” I remarked.

            “What? No I don’t, but… what?” He questioned and sat up.

            “That darkness that we know is there took over but it shouldn’t bother you anymore.” I explained knowing that I left out some key facts he should probably know about.  

            “That was weird.” He recalled, “After everyone left it got hazy and I thought I blacked out.”

            I got up and helped him up, “You did, but your body didn’t.” I opened the door and walked out, expecting him to follow. “Hopefully you won’t need to get used to it.”

            He kept quiet and followed me to the Recruitment Hall. This hall connected to rooms that helped out all new recruits, which included uniform fitting, badge making and accessories such as weapons.
