The Takeover

"Woah woah woah!" Mark said in fear as the room shakes. "Who is that, who you said, Jack?" Felix asked, being careful not to say his name again. "He's apparently a demon that lives in the back of my mind, trying to take control of me. You don't want to mess with him." Jack warned them. "Is he the one who pinned me? That would explain a lot, like the vomiting, the weird changes of mood, the excessive strength. That makes sense." Mark pieced it out aloud. "So, what happens now? What can we do, Jack?" Felix asked. "You need to get far away from me, so he, so I can't hurt you again." Jack told them. "No, not happening, we aren't leaving you here all alone." Mark told Jack like it was already settled. "Look, I appreciate what you guys are doing but you need to- ugh, go. Right, now." Jack said while acting strange and while his voice is changing. "Uh, Jack? What is happening to you?" Felix asked with worry. "It's him. Go. Now!" Jack said with a stern tone. Jack started to get up, extremely quick. Jack started to change, appearance wise. Jack's skin started to turn into a sickly gray color and his hair turned emerald green. His teeth started to come to a point and these painful looking gashes starting popping up, a huge one down his left eye and another one through his lips. His eyes turned black and his clothes were a little too big for him. Black veins started to pulse on his neck and more needle punctures showed up on his arms. Then he put on black gauges, black glasses, and brought out a small, crimson bag. "Finally I can have free rein and not be pushed out!" Anti said while laughing maniacally. "Well, hello. Mark, Felix. You should've taken Jack's advice and ran out of here when you had the chance." Anti said with an antagonizing voice. "Oh god, Felix. Run!" Mark said quickly. They both try to run to any exit they can find, but Anti came prepared and locked the window and blocked the way of the only other exit. "So, what are you going to do now?" Anti said while laughter filled the room. "What have you done with Jack?!" demanded Mark and Felix. "You should be worrying about yourselves, Jack is fine, for now." Anti said, like he had something planned. When Felix looked the other way for a moment, he suddenly was hit on the back of his head by Anti, only using his fist. "Felix!" Mark shouted while going over to him. When Mark was distracted, Anti did the exact same thing to Mark, leaving them both unconscious. Anti picked them both up at the same time and carried them into the basement, tying them to these vertical benches that stay upright and can go flat.

3 hours later...

"I knew I would have fun, but I didn't know I would have this much fun!" Anti said while laughing like a maniac. Anti went back upstairs and put on his "special" electric dog collar and carried the remote with him (it's special because it is 2x more powerful than the normal ones), also he packed his knife he always uses. He left Mark and Felix in the basement, still unconscious and left out the front door. Felix woke up first when the door slammed shut behind Anti. "My head, wha- what is this?! Why am I tied up?" Felix thought to himself. He looked over and about 5 feet from him was Mark, tied up the same way, still knocked out. "Mark! Mark, wake up!" Felix yelled to him. Mark's eyes opened slowly to find himself tied up as well. "What the fucking hell is going on?!" Mark said with anger. "We should've listened to Jack and ran when we could've." Felix said. Mark and Felix looked around the room to find a table with all sorts of tools and weapons with a banner above it saying "Time to have some real fun", presumably written in blood. There was something weird on the table though, a small glass and a bag of blood. "Uh, what the hell is that? Why is there a bag of blood on the table?" Felix asked with confusion. "I have no idea." Mark said, just as confused as Felix.

25 minutes later...

Mark and Jack heard the front door open while they were trying to break free. "Oh shit, he's back, he's back!" Felix said with fear. Anti came down the basement stairs, covered in blood. "Oh- oh my god..." Mark said to Felix quietly. "Well look who's awake. It's about fucking time." Anti said with impatience. Mark and Felix glanced at each other with shock and fear, wondering how Anti was covered in so much blood. "Who are you exactly? "Well, I know you're Anti..." Mark said, interrupted by a violent shaking of the room when he said Anti's name. The tables that they were both tied to fell on their sides, nearly hitting their heads on the way down. Anti walked over pretty quick and lifted both tables back up with no struggle or effort whatsoever. Anti walked over to the table and picked up the bag of blood and poured it into the glass. "Uh, what are you gonna do with that?" Felix asked Anti. Anti took the whole thing down like it was a shot of alcohol. Felix looked at him in shock, while Mark was so grossed out by it, he started to retch. Anti poured some more into the glass and walked toward Felix and Mark with it in hand. "One of you is going to drink this." Anti said with anger. "Why? What does this have to do with anything?" Felix said to Anti. Anti saw that Mark was about to retch once again, so he went closer to him. "You drink it. Or there will be consequences for you, Felix, and Jack." Anti said with no hesitation. "Fine, I don't want anyone hurt, or worse." Mark said to Anti, nearly vomiting by the sight of it. "No! Do not listen to him, Mark!" Felix yelled to Mark, trying to convince him to not do it. Anti held the glass up to Mark's mouth since his wrists were tied up. Mark tried to down it as quickly as he could, but not quick enough to not taste it. It tasted like pure metal, Mark nearly threw up when he first got the taste, but he managed to hold it down. "You have more guts than I first thought Mark. I thought you were just a loving, caring person that could never drink blood of your own kind, but I was wrong. I usually can't admit that." Anti said, pleased with Mark's cooperation. "You think I had a choice?" Mark asked with a stern voice. "No, you didn't. You did make the right choice. Now, Felix, your turn." Anti said to Felix. The reason Anti is making them both do it is because Felix tried to stop Mark. "Hell no, I'm not giving into you so easily." Felix said. Anti's eyes started to turn black, even more black than before, along with black veins showing in his neck. "Felix, just do it." Mark urged him. "No, I'm not giving in like you did, Mark." Felix said back to Mark, looking disappointed with him. "You either do it, or I will do something that you will regret." Anti threatened Felix. "What are you going to do? Torture us?" Felix asked with sarcasm. "Dude, shut the fuck up, don't give him any ideas!" Mark desperately told Felix. Anti walked over to his crimson bag and pulled out 2 electric dog collars. "Uh, what are you going to do with that?" Mark asked with fear in his voice. Anti knocked Mark out first, then did the same with Felix.

1 hour later...

Both Mark and Felix woke up, confused on what happened, and why they had collars around their necks. "What the fuck are these? Shock collars?" Mark asked. "Looks like it." Felix said. They looked back at the table and something was different. The bag of blood was empty. They both heard maniacal laughing coming from upstairs, which freaked them out a bit. "Why didn't you just do what he said Felix?! We wouldn't be in this situation if it wasn't for your incompetence!" Mark said angrily. "I'm not some pushover, unlike you!" Felix shouted back. Mark was so angry at Felix, he tried to break out. He got one of his hands free, but he heard footsteps walking down to the basement. "Well, Mark. Trying to elude my grasp, are you?" Anti said with an ominous tone. Anti took his knife and grabbed Mark's arm carved something into it. He carved an A, a pretty defined looking A, that took about 5 minutes to carve. It looked like it was designed for Anti. Mark nearly passed out from the pain, but he survived it, barely. "Mark, are you okay?" Felix asked Mark with concern. "How do you fucking think?! I just had my arm cut with a goddamn knife!" Mark yelled at Felix. Anti made a noise, like a groan of pain. Mark and Felix just stared while Anti basically doubled over in agony, smiling while it was happening. Anti started to cough up blood, and quite a lot of it. Mark and Felix held themselves to the table as far as they could out of fear. "You know not to fight, or you know what will happen." Anti seemingly talking to himself. Anti picked up a remote to a shock collar, but Mark and Felix don't know whose it is. Anti turned up the voltage all the way and hit the button. Mark and Felix were expecting to be electrocuted, but it was Anti who fell to the ground. They just noticed he had on a shock collar as well. "What the hell? Did he shock himself? That has to be a mistake, right Mark?" Felix asked Mark, very confused. Mark just stood there, silent. "That is what you get for fighting! Try again, and it'll be worse for you!" Anti basically screamed.
