The house sat in a state of decay.
The house of Matthew Patrick, which was one well-kept, was surrounded by a field of overgrowing weeds, the tallest of which reached halfway up the charred walls.
The shell of a house, which stood as the a monument to the last of the fallen Youtube army. The shell of the house that was destroyed by Emperor Darkiplier.
On the inside of the shell, the charred walls stood in ruin, barely standing in place of themselves. And in the dining room, there were the bodies.
The decayed bodies of Matthew and Stephanie lay in the corner, Steph's body, which was hurled by Dark, had several bones shattered.
Singe's headless body had long since fallen out of its restraints, since her wrists weren't able to hold her deadweight for long after her death. Her wrists had ripped cleanly off her body, and now lay beside the knees of her fallen form.
And Sean?
His lifeless body was protected for some reason. A circle of dead animals lay around him, and two human. All that got close died.
His flesh was completely intact, except for the damages it head leading up to his death, and the slit on his throat that ended his life.
He twitched.
His head jerked upward at an unnatural speed, and it jerked side to side, as he took in his surroundings. His once-blue eyes now had bright green irises, with the rest of the surrounding eye being completely black. The cut on his throat shone with fresh blood, despite it being an old wound.
"WherE aM i?" He murmured, his voice distorted. "HoW aM I sTIil AliVe?"
He tried to step forwards, but realized his arms were still tied and bolted to the wall. Growling, he tried to yank his arm out, to no avail.
"gReaT. I sURvivE a SliT tHROat SomEHow, bUt noW I aM sTuCk to thIs waLl." He complained.
"Oh, you're finally awake." A feminine voice declared.
His head snapped over to face her. "oH, iT's yoU, ChaRA. aRE yOu HerE to FinisH tHE JOb?"
"No." She answered kindly. "I told you I was going to wait for you to come back, remember?"
He hesitated, then nodded. "I've been protecting you. I placed a barrier around you to prevent anyone but myself from getting close. That's what the circle of animals are for. You honestly took a lot longer to awaken then I thought you would."
"WhAT do YOU mEaN?" He asked. "HoW loNG hAS It BeEn?"
"Like, five years?" she responded. "I'm twenty-one now, so yeah, five years."
"HOw lONg sinCe…"
"You died? Five years today. You have awoken on the fifth year of Emperor Dark's rule. He took over right after he killed you."
"Markkkkkkk…."
"No, Dark. Mark Fischbach is dead."
"I doN't gIvE a FuCK." he spat. "MarK, DaRk, Im GOINg to kILL hiM nO MatTer WHaT!"
"Hehehe…" She giggled. "You see, that's the attitude I've been waiting for."
"whAt dO yoU MeAN?" He asked in confusion.
"You mean you haven't noticed? You voice, it's distorted, twisted… you move in jerky, unnatural motions, and you eyes and neck…" She held up a mirror. "Look at this."
He studied his eyes and the blood on his neck, displaying no emotion.
"i"M noT sEan." He said without remorse.
Chara shook her head. "Nor are you Jacksepticeye, but you are closer to your alter ego then your humanity. Let's call you the opposite. How about…"
"ANTi" He stated. "i aM tHe AnTiSePtIcEyE."
Chara cut him down, and carried him over to the tent she had been sleeping in. "After the second year, Emperor Dark no longer required my services. He said that I could go roam the Earth and kill all those who refused to serve him, or I could go rest until he needed me. I chose to come here, and watch over you."
"BUt wHy?" Anti asked. "YoU HaD a DireCT paRt iN mY DeaTH, Why WouLD yOu waIT FoR Me? WhY ARe YOU HelPINg mE?"
"I am a piece of fan art brought to life. In that fan art, the artist was depicting me as a Demon with… Abilities. And let just say that one of those abilities allow me to see a potential of greatness. Besides…" She licked her lips, looking at his nude form up and down. "You are pretty damn hot."
Anti shook his head. "nO, ChaRa."
"Hehe, I wouldn't attempt anything yet. You have to prove worthy of my affections! And besides, if I forced you to do anything, you would just kill me when you gain your strength back. But you won't be saying no for long. YOu are Anti! Your wants and needs are much more twisted than mine. After all, I am an evil human, but you? You are beyond humanity."
"WhAT Do YoU MeAn?" He asked.
"You will see, Anti. We will test your strength after you recover from your death. It would be unwise to test anything while you are weakened." She helped him into her tent, and lay him down. She sat beside him, and watched as he fell asleep.
She rubbed his chest lovingly. "Sleep well, my lord. You mistress awaits the return of your strength."
