Your Prov:

~*Flash Back*~

(Y-y/n? Are y-you a-a-awake?"

"Yeah. You're screams keep me up."

"Can you please help me?"

"Sure. Come on."I pulled Mark into a hug.
Mark hands me a ... knife?

"Please kill me."He said in the sweetest voice ever. I almost did until I realized what he asked.

"No. Why do you want me to? "

"Because he can't..."Mark's voice deepened.

"He?"
Mark was silent and started laughing uncontrollably.

"I'm Dark sweetie. Since you didn't kill Mark. I'm gonna hurt you.

....

"(Y/N) RUN!!"Mark's voice was distorted.

I listened and ran for dear life out of that house. I look back to see a bloody Mark on our steps and Dark chasing me. I wanted to go back to check on Mark but I couldn't... I couldn't.
~*Flash back over*~

Why am I thinking about this? I never felt guilty about before. That forest...I think Dark knows.

"Dark. Do you really believe me?"

"Yes?.."

"Dark. Stop lying to me. Tell me the truth."

"Ok.."

^3^ Time Skip ^3^

"..And that's what really happened."

"So you stalked me while I ran away from a rock and didn't help me?"

"I got used of not being able to help.Plus what was I suppose to tell you. "I'll save you from that terrible branch that scratched you."

"I can't believe you. "

He shrugged. He was walking along side me as we walked back. Once we got home  I heard my stomach growl. I kinda want some hamburgers.

"Dark?"

"Do you have any hamburger meat?"

"No. What's that?"

"Hamburgers?"

"Yeah that."

"Oh my God.Let's go."I dragged Dark by his wrists out the door.

"But we just got back." Dark whined.

"And we're leaving again. Hurry up." I dragging him.

"Dark at least walk."
He straighten up and started walking normally. He followed me around like a mom and her son. I looked around to see if this town had an Apollo's. The town looked grim. Small businesses , a gas station , and a grocery store. Right next to a thriftshop I spotted the restaurant. The smell of grease and french fries filled the air. The restaurant is '70's themed so there was a juke box. I placed a quarter and played Roses by Luke Christopher. I looked at Dark. He looked so confused.

"What? Didn't you live in the '70's at one point?"

"(y/n) I'm not that young"I raised my eyebrows.

"May I take your order?" I jumped up a bit. She was NOT there a second ago.

"Yes. I would like two classic burger combos"

"Well done?"

"One well done and one raw."

"Be back with your order."

"Thank you. "
I looked around at all the decor. I love it.

"(y/n)?"

"Yeah Dark?"

"Ok don't freak out but your eyes are flashing blue."
I felt that pain return to my chest. I gripped my shirt , trying to hold in my screams. I saw the fire. My breathing was unsettling. I ran outside. The sun was high in the sky so that didn't help. The flames rose licking my skin. I ran to the rest room outside. I turned the facet and splashed the cool water on the shirt. Finally. It actually wasn't as painful as the first time but I still hurt. It was actually more surprising. I looked at my reflection. Dark cirlcles in my eyes. A large gash on my cheeck. My (e/c) had lost their shine. My hair mangled. Skin dirty. Almost like I had freckles. Clothes stained. I wiped my clothes , fixed my hair , and walked back in.

"You okay?"

"Yeah.."

"I'm so sorry.."

"For why you have to live like this. This wasn't my intention."
I stayed quiet. I wanted to hear more.

"I was just supposed to kill you after you got out of middle school and end it there. But I saw how beautiful and amazing you were. You had so much to live for. So I convinced Wilford to let you grow so when you were old enough , you could marry one of us. So in the meantime , I had to steal the ritual knife from Aries. God of war. Wasn't easy mind you. Then I had to killed Aphrodite ,  goddess of beauty to keep you forever beautiful."He smiled. He continued

"But what Wilford didn't tell me is there would be pain. Or torture from Anti. Or for Mark to still be alive."

"Wait. You weren't planning to keep Mark alive?"

"No."

"Well I'm glad you did.I held his hand and ran my thumbs over his.The food arrived.

^3^TIME SKIP (SORRY I COULDN'T GIVE THE GLORY OF THEM STUFFING THEIR FACES)^3^

"Dark can you teleport us back. I'm too lazy to walk back."He held my hand and his arm.
*whoosh*
We arrived in the living room. I flopped on the couch. I blew out a sigh. All of me was sore. The beatings. The running. The fighting. Yet I always come back. Sometimes I wonder why I keep coming back. I look over at Dark. That's why. I smiled.Mark walked in. He was perfectly fine. No cuts , burns , or bruises. Dark was right. All in my head. Mark walked towards. Suddenly he was bloody and bruised. And back to normal. I rubbed my eyes. Mark was close to face holding my chin.

"One kiss."

"No!!"
I ran off the couch with Mark screaming my name behind me.

WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AWAY FROM ME?"He repeated over and over. My heart raced out of my chest. So did those flames. Again. Dammit. How?.

"(Y/N)? WAIT UP!!"

The hallway ended. Shit. I turned around to see an out of breath Mark staring at me. The fire wrapped all over my body. The darkness took over.
