(Mark's P.O.V.)

Four days until Jack leaves and we've made no plans other than sit-on-the-couch-and-play-video-games, which I'm perfectly fine with. Again, I'm still iffy with going out places, especially with Dark. He keeps saying that he thinks there's an evil other than him around and it's starting to worry me a bit. And Jack seems really off today, like he's worried something bad is gonna happen. It's... Been a weird day so far...

It's about three, and we've just been playing video games, like normal. That's a lot of what we do here. One of the games we've played is Shadow of the Colossus, aka Jack's favorite game ever. It's kind of worrying how obsessed he is with the game. Just a tiny bit. If someone didn't know how to play he could explain the entire game in full detail if he wanted. That's how much he likes it. Again, tiny bit worrying. But hey, we all have one of those games. I can't choose just one, I always go into detail about all of my favorite games, but I have one. Whatever. Anyways, right now we're playing Rocket League and I have gained a new nemesis.

"77lebarr I HATE YOU!" I yell at the screen, making Jack laugh, though it's hesitant like all his actions today.

"Come on Mark. At least he's on our team." He says. I roll my eyes.

"But he's stealing all my amazing moves!" I yell, once again 77lebarr rolling in front of me, taking the ball away. Jack shrugs.

"Whatever." He says with a smile, and we play in silence, our team eventually winning with 77lebarr making pretty much every shot. I put my controller down on the coffee table.

"I'm done. No. No I'm just... No." I say, shaking my head and Jack smiles but doesn't laugh, he just isn't in a laughing mood I guess.

"Mark you know as well as I that Jack + not laughing = bad things. Trust me, as much as I hate it, Jack's laugh is the only way to know bad things aren't gonna happen." Dark says and I nod ever so slightly, enough that Jack won't notice.

"Yeah... I have a feeling everything's gonna go to hell in a second." I say. However I'm wrong. Jack and I continue playing games for the next hour, laughing and joking like normal, except for Jack's slight hesitation. Every once and a while he spaces out but is more or less normal. Eventually, after a round of GTA "human bowling", as I like to call it, Jack puts his controller down, smiling.

"God this has been fun." He says and I nod, agreeing. And then his smile falls and is replaced with... Worry? Worry of what? He just sits there, looking worried and... Shocked I think.

"Jack?" I ask, putting my hand on his shoulder. As soon as I do he stands up, walking away, eyes to the ground. He keeps muttering stuff, not exactly sure what. He starts heading towards the stairs before walking backwards, away from them.

"Jack?" I ask again, incredibly concerned. I stand up. He puts his hands to his head, closing his eyes. He walks over towards the dining room table, looking as if he's trying to block something out or something like that. But what? I follow him into the dining room, still worried, which is understandable. He cries out a bit, looking towards the ground, eyes still closed. This doesn't help my worry. He takes his hands away from his head, putting them on a chair, supporting himself.

"Jack! What's going on?!" I ask, and he cries out quietly. Then he opens his eyes and turns to me, fear clouded over his face. I step back, wide-eyed. Jack's eyes are different, one green with a blue iris and the other black with no iris and a green pupil. He inhales shakily before speaking.

"Help." He says and I know at that moment exactly what's going on. My theory is confirmed when Jack cries out, putting his hands to his head again. When he cries out I see that his teeth are sharper than normal. Crap.

I rush up to him, grabbing his shoulders from behind and pushing him towards my basement. I'm so glad I still have this. Jack continues crying out, his hands still to his head, his eyes closed. I help him down the stairs, rushing as fast as I can without making him fall. When we get down the stairs I turn, directing Jack towards the safe room. I had a few friends help me make it back when Dark was still... Well... Uncontrollably evil.

About five feet away Jack stops crying out and he starts pushing against me, planting his feet on the ground. Oh dang it. Not good. Not. Good. He takes his hands away from his head and I see that his ears are pointed now. Great... He turns, smirking at me. I take this time to push him into the safe room, closing and locking the door. Then, even though I know from experience he won't get out, I stay pushed up against the door. He starts banging on the door, and I know that this isn't Jack. It's an evil version of Jack, just like Dark is an evil version of me.

"Come on. Let me out Mark." Evil Jack says, his voice deeper and his accent thicker than Jack.

"He sounds evil." Dark says. I scowl.

"Shut up!" I yell, and surprisingly he does.

"Mark! Come on! Let me out!" Evil Jack yells this time, but I say nothing. I don't know what to think, let alone do or say.

Jack's like me, Jack has an evil bratty jerk in his mind who just wants to do bad things. Dark isn't as bad as he used to... But from what I can tell, this Evil Jack is really, really, really bad. Maybe that's why he ran away into the nature preserve. Maybe this is the "haters" reason he had for cutting. Maybe this is why he was so off for all this time. Just maybe...

"Mark!" Evil Jack yells, banging against the door. For hours he yells, trying to get out, trying to insult me, saying things that Jack supposedly said about me. I know it's all fake. I hope it's all fake. Then, after about an hour and a half the yelling stops, the banging subsides and I hear his voice.

"Mark?" It's Jack's voice, regular Jack. I exhale, nodding slightly.

"I'm here." I say, opening the door to see him, frowning. I smile a bit. "You have some explaining to do." I say and he nods, still just standing there. I put my arm around him, leading him upstairs.
