Insane Asylum (Natemare/Antisepticeye story)

Eleven (Part 2)

NATEMARE

"You put up a good fight, I'll admit." Anti said, wiping the blood off the corner of his mouth. "But I'm n͏̕͝o̶͠t͟͢͜ ̛́͢gǫ̢͠i͡ng҉̕͝ ̡t̸ǫ͜ ̧͘g͏i҉v̨́̕e̛͢ up̀̕."

I felt tired, and slightly weak...but I wasn't going to lay down and let him kill me. Standing up straight, I spit out the blood that was in my mouth, raising my knife. "Sorry to break it to you...but I'm not either."

Going at him again, I ducked underneath when he swung his knife. Slamming my fist into his shoulder, he yelled, falling to his knees. I was about to finished when he went invisible. Tensing up, I slowly walked in a small circle, eyeing every inch of the room when I heard him giggle.

"Why're you hurting people?" I asked, trying not to show fear, even though I was damn terrified.

"Because it's fun." He said, his voice bouncing off the walls. "I love when h̴́ę̢ ͠wa̢̕t̢͞c̶̢͟h҉e̵͡s̨."

"You're a sick bastard, you know that?" I asked, noticing Lily was still knocked out cold.

"Says the one who was just like me before Lily let you in." He said when I felt a sharp pain on my side. Yelling, I put my hand there, seeing my palm come away red. Whirling around, I swung my weapon, but only hit air.

"Always s̷o ͜w̷ȩ̵àk͢҉." He said. "Which is why this'll be easier for me than for you."

I swung again, not hitting anything. Gritting my teeth in frustration, I started pacing around the room, not letting my guard down.

"I know why you're like this.." I said. "I know who you really are.."

I heard him laugh again, appearing in front of me. "You don't know a t̛́h̴͟͞i͝ǹǵ̸ a҉͏̷b̢̀ou͡͏͟t͟ ̡͡m͘è̵." He disappeared.

I chuckled. "Actually I do.." Swinging once more, I finally got him, hearing him yell, seeing him grip his shoulder as he came into sight, his expression furious.

"Shut your f̸ų͠ç͟͠k̴i̴n̴g͢ m̧ó͢u̵t̀͜h̨!̧̛͟!" Anti hissed.

I only smiled. "I know who you are...Chase Brody."

LILY

"Sean, do you hear yourself??" I snapped, not believing what I was hearing. How could he give up like this? How could he give up when he has a chance to fight back?? To regain control of his body??

"I'm not strong enough.." He said. "He's too powerful."

"And you think you're not?" I asked.

"I pretend that I am!" He yelled, whirling to face me, his eyes red from crying. "Ever since what happened with Mark it's all been fake!!"

I stopped, looking at him like he was a stranger. "What?" I whispered.

"I haven't been myself ever since then.." Sean said. "I let these thoughts get in my head because I have nothing left to fight for...at this point I don't care if Anti takes over me for good..it'll be better than me going out into the world and fucking pretending that everything is fine!"

"STOP!!" I screamed, causing him to jump. "Stop saying that!" I came close to him, standing a couple inches away. "The more you say it, the more your mind will believe it!" I took a deep shaky breath. "I'm not a professional for this..but dammit, I know that positivity is in there somewhere. I know I'm repeating myself, but even I'm fine with it because I'm sure Natemare is doing something about him."

"That's probably killing him." Sean said. "Meaning I won't be able to come back."

"He knows you're still in here.." I said. "He's doing what he can." I felt fresh tears roll down when I felt myself starting to wake up, and I began to breathe heavily. "No...no no.."

"What's wrong?" Sean asked, his wide eyes filled with confusion.

"I'm waking up.." I said. "Sean...please..." Quickly standing on my tippy toes, I gave him a soft kiss, backing away just as fast. "Please wake up and realize there's more for you out there...that everything isn't awful..."

He only stared at me in slight surprise before I woke up.
