Dark's POV

The huge smile hasn't left my face as I enter back into Grave's dreams.
"Did you enjoy the show Mr. Grave?" I ask.
His cheeks are stained dark blue from his tears.
"Y-...you monster." He chokes out.
"Yes." I agree.
"Now if you don't want me to give away the whole traitors camp, then I suggest you comply with anyone who asks."
He nods his head vigorously.
"See you another time, Mr. Grave." I smirk and then exit his dream and his mind.

My eyes open and I'm in a whole new place. It's a room that looks like it has dried hood on the floor and weird weapons on a table.
Looking up, the King is smiling at me.
"A job well done?" He asks.
I rub my head and sit up.
"I would sure thunk so." I say.
Grave starts to groan as he awake from his dream like state.
In the blink of an eye, I turn invisible so he can't see me.
"Ah! You're awake!" The King clasps his hands together.
"Question time!" The King then picks up what looks like a large spike.
"This has a small hole in the tip of it. If I stab you with it then poison will go into your blood stream!" He almost giggles.
"Not enough to kill you though. Only enough to make you feel like you're dying for hours on end!"
Mr. Grave doesn't even budge.
"Question one! What's your name?" He asks.
"Grave Stone." Grave replies.
"Grave Stone? How unoriginal."
I roll my eyes.
"Question two! Do you have any family?" He asks.
"Not anymore." Grave's voice is drained of all emotion.
"So sorry to hear." He fake frowns.
"That's enough for today I guess. I was really looking forward to using this though. Maybe tomorrow!"
I then follow the King out of the torture room and make myself visible.
"What did you do to make him break like that?" Is his first question.
"I just simply made his daughter kill his wife." He smirks.
"I like your style Dark."
He then holds out his palm and a small pouch appears.
"Here's your pay for the job." I take it and bow.
"No problem my King."
He only chuckles.
"I've known you for three years now Dark. You're also my favorite guard. Call me Lucy."
Straightening my stature I chuckle a bit.
"Lucy?" I ask.
"Yes," He glares at me.
"Short for Lucifer." I nod.
"I'll be on my way then...Lucy." I chuckle once more before teleporting back home.

"Where have you been?" Anti asks as I randomly appear in the livingroom.
"A job for the King." I tell him and drop a small pouch of coins on a side table.
"Well I have to go. I have a job. I'll see ya' later tonight." I nod as he disappears into green smoke.

Doesn't appear that his smoke tires to kill me anymore.

I chuckle to myself as the TV randomly turns on.

[ News report girl
News report guy ]

What a sunny day it is today Jim.

That it is Ella.
Now we have more breaking news about Dr. Tasha.

That's right!
Today she saved the life of another demon.
He had a very severe case of Meleto Ott Whin.

Just encase that medical term doesn't sound familiar to you, it's when you slowly start to melt from the inside out.
And with seven surgeries performed by her in the span of five and a half hours, he got cured.

That's correct.
It's always great to see another life saved by our beloved Dr. Tasha. She says that she loves saving lives and helping others.

She's also going back on vacation for a few more weeks.
She had come back early to do these surgeries to save this man and now will be going back to her well deserved vacation.

Now next to we have the forecast for the week.
It seems that th-

I turn off the TV so I don't have to see the stupid weather.
"That Dr. Tasha sure is good at her job." I mumble.
I then start to hear the pleading voice of a kid inside my head.

[ Kid ]

Whoever is listening, please help me and my family.
No matter how hard my parents try they can't seem to make enough money to pay bills on time. It makes life harder and harder because then it stacks up and we have nothing.
Please help them.
I just want them to finally be happy.

I roll my eyes and look at the clock.
"I'll just go in the morning."
It's really late and Anti still hasn't come home yet from whatever job he's doing.
"I've got to be up bright and early for this one."
Turning off all the lights, I walk upstairs and enter my bedroom.
"Goodnight world."
My eyes close and I enter a new world; a dream world.

Light.
That's all I can see.
It's blinding and it forces me to squint my eyes.
"Dark." A motherly voice says.
I can faintly make out the outline of what I think is a woman.
"They'll be here soon." She says.
"What? Who will be here?" I ask.
"Your light. The one who will make you whole. Be your real self and you'll be fine."
I feel the warmth of the mysterious woman's smile
"M-my light?"
She nods.
"Just because you're darkness, doesn't mean you don't deserve to see the light."
I smile.
"Who are you?" I ask.
"You'll meet me soon enough."
She chuckles and her shadowy form starts to fade away.
"Don't be too quick to judge the situation Dark Iplier."
She then fully disappears.

My eyes shoot open and beads of sweat are running down my face.
My breathing is fast paced and I feel pain in my chest.
Pulling up my shirt, I see a pitch black bruise above my right nipple.
"What the?"
It then suddenly disappears.
