Remember

Magic

"Zhere has to be a pattern to zhis, something I can follow so I know who's next and can try to prevent it."

Anti woke up to see Schneep pacing the room, running his hands through his hair and his blue eyes bloodshot due to lack of sleep.

"Doc, what's going on?" Anti grunted, sitting up as the German looked at him with a wild look in his eyes.

"Chase is gone, JJ is gone, and Robbie is gone. I have to find a vay to get Jack to remember before anyone else fades." Schneep rambled to himself, sitting at his desk and resting his head in his hands.

"Schneep, I told you to sleep hours ago." Marvin sighed as he entered the room, the German tensing as he looked at his computer.

"I'll sleep vhen I'm fucking dead, right now I need to stop zhis nightmare before anyone else fades." Schneep shot back fiercely, Marvin wordlessly touching his wand to Schneep's head.

The German was knocked out instantly by his magic, Schneep's head drooping as his body relaxed in his chair.

"So, how're you feeling Anti?" Marvin prompted as he picked up Schneep, laying him on his bed before sitting on the end of Anti's cot.

"Fine I guess. Is he going to be okay?" Anti countered, glancing over at the unconscious German shifting in his sleep.

"He's driving himself insane by trying to find a way to reverse the damage caused by Jack's amnesia, and he's worried about fading like everyone else." Marvin explained grimly.

"I already think I know who's next anyway." Marvin admitted.

"Is it Jackaboy? That'd be nice if it was." Anti replied sourly, Marvin smiling faintly in response.

"No...I think I'm next. I mean, with Chase gone, it'd make sense." Marvin stated, biting his lower lip thoughtfully.

"How does that make sense exactly?" Anti countered with a confused frown.

"I mean, he's Jack caring side. If Jack doesn't care about anything, it means that he doesn't believe in there being any good in the world." Marvin reasoned.

"Oh...well then, what're you going to do with your last day of life?" Anti questioned, Marvin clasping his hands in his lap.

"Honestly, I don't know. Part of me wants to hang onto you guys and never let go, but there's also another part of me that just wants to be left alone with a bottle of alcohol." Marvin confessed.

"Well, what's something that's important to you?" Anti pressed, Marvin frowning thoughtfully.

"Entertaining people and being with people that are important to me." Marvin answered slowly.

"What are you waiting for them? Go out there, do what you want!" Anti urged Marvin, the magician standing up.

"You're right!" Marvin exclaimed, creating a portal before hesitating as Schneep groggily woke up.

"Vhat...vhat happened?" Schneep mumbled sleepily, rolling out of bed onto his feet as he rubbed his eyes while Marvin shot him an apologetic look.

"Go with Marvin, I don't want him alone if he..." Anti trailed off as Schneep nodded in understanding, appearing more alert as he followed Marvin through the portal.

Anti managed to get up out of the cot with a wince so he could return to his room, Jackaboy walking into the room as Anti limped towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Jackaboy prompted with an eyebrow raised as he watched Anti, the demon struggling to remain standing since he was still weak from blood loss.
