Manipulation (Sequel To Total Control)

You Can't Run, nor Hide

That was by far the most confusing statement I've heard so far. How could she know Dark? How could she have been hurt by him and I didn't know?

He seemed to shrink, and hung his head a bit.
"That...that was before, Baby Doll, you know I love you" he said and I mentally scoffed. He shot me a glare, then I remembered, he can read minds.
"I loved you then too, you know" he said.

She stepped back from him and asked
"Is that why you killed him? " I could see her eyes filled with memories, his as well. But they didn't share the same feeling. She was broken, him, more like enraged.

He went to speak but she shut him up before he could start.
"I lost Damion to you, I'm not letting you take Mark as well. Do me a favour and get out of my life, for good this time! " she said sternly and turned towards me, going to come to me.

I saw him behind her, his eyes practically were inflamed. I was about to warn her but he had already grabbed her wrist, yanking her back to him, viciously.
"Ow, Dark. Let me go! " she said tugging at his grasp.
"You. Belong. To. Me. " his voice boomed and giving a nod to Anti behind me.

On cue, my shoulders started to burn where Anti was holding them. I felt like the life was being sucked out of me as I sunk to my knees. I gritted my teeth at the pain. My head turned, glancing at my shoulders, which were feeling like the flesh was being melted off. There was a bright green liquid coming out from his palms and searing my skin. Deteriorating the fabric of my shirt as it ran down.

Fire would be an understatement to say what it felt like. The smell emitting from it was rancid and sour. It stung my eyes and nostrils. It could easily be brought in comparison with a rotting corpse. I'm not sure if it was the liquid itself, or my deteriorating skin. Either way, it smelled disgusting.

"Dark, stop it! " y/n yelled, but he ignored. Anti pressed down on my shoulders more. I could feel my flesh dissolving and regenerating, then dissolving again and repeating.
"Stop! " she yelled again.
I don't know what he'd do with her afterwards, I couldn't even bring myself to imagine it. I wasn't sure that I'd be alive in the next few minutes. There was nothing I could do...except

"Y/n, run! " I grunted and hoisted myself up with all my strength. I swung at Anti and he vanished before I could make contact. I didn't have time to deal with him. I lunged myself for Dark, tackling him to the floor. His grip released from y/n as we both hit the ground. I looked up at her.

"RUN! " I yelled at her, she looked like she was seeing a ghost in front of her.
"N-no, i-i can't" she stuttered.
"GO! NOW! " I shouted again and she turned and ran without another protest.

I tried my best to keep Dark down but I heard her shriek. I looked to see Anti blocking her way. He grabbed her the same time I felt Dark's fist sink into my face.

Damn he hits hard.

"Damn right I do" he said proudly before landing another blow. And another, and another. Continuously until he made sure I could bare it to get up again all the while y/n begged him to stop. I could feel the warm blood on my cheeks and flowing from my nose, it hurt to even breath. He got up and kicked my stomach, just for good measure, making me spit up blood onto the floor.

He ran his hand through his hair, as if calming him, he wiped his face and Anti threw y/n to him. She stumbled I to his arms, she was visibly trying to get away but he just hugged her. Running his fingers through her hair and shushing her, in way that you'd comfort someone.

I silently cursed myself that my efforts weren't enough. He held her and turned her to face me.
"Doesn't this make you happy, baby doll? " he asked creepily.
"Please, stop. I'll stay with you, I'll be yours, just don't hurt him anymore" she begged between cries.
He tilted her head up a bit and grinned.

"You always belonged to me, Baby Doll " he said sinisterly.

She looked at me with absolute panic in her eyes. Even in fright, she was still the most beautiful person I've ever seen. I wanted to kick myself for not telling her how I felt when I had the chance to. I'll beat myself later, Dark had already done a number on me.

I glanced to Dark, a black smoke engulfing his hand then dropping to leave behind a menacing sight. I focused on y/n again, knowing that if he had his way, which undoubtedly he would, I'd be dead very soon.

"Y/n" I started as she caught a glance of the blade in his hands. She seemed to get paralyzed.

Anti pulled me up to my knees, grabbing my hair and pulling my head up, exposing my neck.

"Y/n, look at me" I said, making he stop looking at the blade.
"I'm so sorry this happened. But I need you to know -"
"Shut up! " Dark grimaced but I ignored him.
"I need you to know, I'm so happy I met you. Even if I didn't know you for long, it felt like I did. And before I don't get the chance. I love you. "
Her eyes widened and Dark growled.
"And I'm grateful that you're the last person I see when I die. Just never stop fighting. Ok" I finished. Her cheeks were visibly wet from tears.

"You're pathetic" Dark scowled. He walked closer to me as Anti held me in place. He showed off his blade, flashing it slightly.

I fixed my gazed on y/n, her eyes filled with horror. Once again, like she was seeing a ghost. Like she's seen this exact scene before. Just as Dark blocked my view of her, I caught something change in her eyes.

It wasn't fear anymore, it looked more like rage. Her face changed, her demeanor changed. Then she was blocked from my sight.

Dark held the blade close to my neck, as if to make sure it was precise. I felt like I saw a mist emitting from behind him. But I couldn't be sure.

"You...you deserve this" he told me, but it almost sounded like he was telling himself that. He raised the blade but as he was going to bring it down to slash my throat, he stopped.

More like he was held back. And a voice from behind him. It sounded like y/n's sweet voice but with a demonic counterpart.

"No, you deserve this"
