Listen to 'Where Did the Angels Go?' by Papa Roach while reading this. You don't have too, but it's what the chapter is based off so it would just make sense. This entire story is told by Mark.

I rush through the darkness.

"Yami!" I scream "Where are you?" All I can here are faint screams in the distance. I'm terrified. Ever since the demons have token over, this place has been nothing but darkness and heartache. They will devoir anyone who stands in their way. I can only hope they haven't gotten to Yami. They would have gotten me too, but I gave in. I became one of them. I knew it was the only way we would be able to meet again. I hear a cry for help in the distance. I freeze. It's Yami. I know it is. I run toward where the cry came from. Eventually, I come across crowd of demons attacking someone.

"Help!" whimpers the person.

I know that accent.

I swiftly strike one of the demons, making just enough room to grab Yami and pull him out of there. He doesn't realize that it's me who grabbed him and tries to escape my grasp.

"Yami…" I say softly. He completely freezes and looks up at me, dumbfounded.

"M-mark?" he asks, his voice cracking.

"Yes, Yami." I say in a serious voice. I let go of him. He stands up shakily. Once he notices the color of my eyes, which are now red instead of brown, and my large, dark red wings, he falls to the ground.

"It was the only way I could protect you…" I say, looking at the younger man's fluffy, white wings.

"N-no." he mumbles, putting his hands over his mouth. I can sense his fear.

"Please don't be afraid. I did this to save you. I learned that the only way to beat them is to become one of them. I-" He cuts me off before I could finish. He leaps up and wraps his arms around me, crying.

"Thank you…" He says as he fades. I stare as his presence disappears. I fall to my knees, tears running down my face. I suddenly take a blow from behind.

"You idiot!" a demon screeches. I stand. He tries to hit me again but I quickly evade. I kick him down. Before I know it, I am surrounded by demons. They all charge at me all at once. I screech as the feeling of darkness spreads through my entire body. That feeling of darkness is soon replaced by pain.

"No! I won't give in!" I shout. "I will fight until the end! I know how to beat you!"

"Do you really?" asks a high pitched voice filled with sarcasm.

"I do! I know that your only weakness is what we all lack!" I yell.

"And what would that be?" says the voice.

"Courage!" I yell with all my might. My vision blurs. Soon, everything is dark. I can just barely hear footsteps crunching in snow.

Sorry that this is so short. They are just to hold off while I'm working on my other writings. If you read some of my other writings, you probably have read 'The Nightmare Nextdoor'. I haven't updated in a while and had INTENSE writer's block. I'm still kinda stuck but just wanted to upload at least something.
