A Glitched Darkness: Chapter 3 - Memories or Warning?

Jack, Sam and the others walked out of the cinema, laughing as Chase continued to make impressions of people from the movie. Jack chuckled “Oh, geez, that movie was great! Don’t you agree, Chase?” Jack asked his goofy friend, Chase laughed and nodded “Yeah but oh my god, Jack! Your face when that monster jumpscared everybody!” Chase twisted his face to imitate a slack jaw expression as everyone laughed, Jack punched Chase’s arm playfully “Quit it you!” Jack stated before continuing to walk with the others with Sam hovering above them all. They all headed back to Jack’s apartment and sat down in the living room, Sam hovered over to a septic tank and placed himself inside of it as Jack walked over to the kitchen with Chase to get some tea, laughing all the while. Marvin leaned towards Schneep “Okay, when we are all sitting down, I’m going to ask questions, we’ve waited long enough” Marvin whispered, Schneep shrugged his shoulders and sighed “Vell, if you must…” he still thought that a simple nightmare couldn’t mean anything but he knew Marvin well enough to know when he had something he wanted to know, he wouldn’t stop until he had it. Plus, he was the wisest out of the lot of them, so if he thought it was serious, it must be. Jack and Chase walked over with four cups of tea and handed them out to the rest of the group before Chase reached for the remote and turned on the TV, Marvin decided to pretend to watch the TV for about three minutes before reaching for the remote and turning the TV off, receiving a confused look from Jack and a horrified look from Chase “ What?! Hey! Marvin, I was watching that!” Chase yelled “Chase! This is important! I want to talk to Jack!” Marvin replied “That’s what ad breaks are for!” Chase replied, Schneep then gave a Chase a cold stare which made Chase back down very quickly. Jack looked at Marvin “What do you want to talk about Marv?” Jack asked politely, Marvin took a deep breath “Jack… I want you to be honest, have you been having vivid nightmares about Antisepticeye?” Marvin asked severely.

Jack froze up at the question before answering “N-No! Why would you think that?” he answered nervously, Marvin raised an eyebrow before leaning closer to Jack “ Isn’t it obvious? You turn up late when you never had before, you go into fits where you don’t respond and you look terrified and then, when Henrik mentions Anti’s name, you yelled out in fear when you never had before! So, excuse me for not believing you when you say everything is alright. So, I’m going to ask again, have you been having nightmares about Anti?” Marvin asked sternly, tapping his fingers on the oak table.Jack looked at his three friends with awkward silence, Marvin was still staring sternly at him, waiting for his response. As much as he didn’t want to tell Marvin, due to him most likely overreacting to a nightmare, he knew that Marvin was a very powerful being, able to do magic and can sometimes predict the future. Marvin must be thinking that this could be a sign of Anti’s return, a thought which made Jack uncomfortable. Jack looked at Marvin before looking down, not wanting to answer, Marvin picked up on it “Jack, I’m not doing it to be mean, I’m worried. I don’t want anything to happen to you… please, just tell me the truth” Marvin said in a softer tone. Jack looked up at Marvin before letting his eyes drift over to Schneep and Chase before looking back at Marvin before sighing “Yes… I have been having bad dreams about him” he answered.

Chase and Schneep looked at each other with fearful concern, Marvin nodded “And… may I ask what happened in these nightmares, Jack?” Marvin asked sincerely, Jack looked at him, not really wanting to do this but he knew that if he didn’t, he will never hear the end of it from Schneep and Marvin. Chase is the only one who understands how Jack would feel and would put Jack’s happiness above everything, even if the others disagreed. Sam hovered over to Jack’s shoulder, chirping softly and nuzzling Jack’s neck, Jack patted the septiceye before sighing “In the dream, I was still in this apartment but Sam was missing, so I went out to the kitchen and… the whole place was covered in blood, I still couldn’t find Sam and then I heard Anti behind me, I tried to fight him but he managed to over power me and the he slit my throat” Jack explained. Marvin nodded and looked away, observing the kitchen nearby before turning back to Jack “And I’m assuming that you saw Anti today, at the cafe?” Marvin inquired, Jack nodded. Chase’s eyes widened “Oh god, buddy, I’m so sorry” Chase stated before walking over to sit next Jack and giving him a hug, Jack returned the gesture quickly “I’m fine, Chase, really” Jack stated, before turning to Marvin and Schnepp “ I don’t know what is happening, guys, maybe it’s just suppressed memories, I want to forget about him, I don’t want to be reminded that he exists but the fans, they want him to appear, they thought he was cool and I can’t say I don’t agree about Anti being cool but… he tries to kill me whenever he gets the chance…” Jack explained “I do not vhink that ze fans want you dead, Jack. I vhink zhey do not know what he can do” Schnepp explained, which made Jack smile.

Marvin stood up and walked over to Jack and grab Jack’s hand, Jack looked up at Marvin “What are you do-” but before he could continue his sentence, Marvin quickly pricked Jack’s finger, getting some blood on a special paper “Ow! Marvin, what was that for?!” Jack asked as Marvin gave the blood sample to Schnepp “Henrik, will you be able to analyze this and tell me if anything is odd about?” Marvin asked quickly, Schnepp slowly took the paper with the blood on it and put it in a clear wallet “yeah… Vhy?” Marvin rolled his eyes “Just do it when you get back to work!” he said with annoyance “Alvight alvight!” Schnepp yelled as he placed the wallet in his pocket. Jack looked at Marvin, who looked back at him “Marvin, what’s going on? Why did you-” Marvin put his hand up to silence Jack “it’s just a precaution. I don’t want Anti to take over your body again like he did that Halloween, so I just need Schnepp to compare that blood sample with the one he got from that halloween” Marvin explained, Jack was about to argue but he knew Marvin well enough to know not to question him so he fell silent. Marvin walked over Jack and hugged him “Oh, Jack, don’t worry. If it’s nothing then we can just get on we things ”“Speaking of” Chase reached over to the remote and switched on the tv, only to be greeted with the ad break “Oh come on!” Chase yelled, Jack and Schnepp laughed as Marvin chuckled “Sorry, Chase” Marvin chuckled, Chase crossed his arms, grumbling. Jack sat down next to Chase and hugged him “Sorry buddy, haha! Never mind, we can still play games if you want or why don’t you show us a trick shot?” Jack suggested, Chase mumbled to himself before answering “Fine… what should I throw?” he asked, Sam flew over and picked up the remote the Chase was holding and motioned towards a glass vase, Chase smiled confidently “Easy” he commented before taking aim. He waited for two seconds before throwing the remote at the glass vase, only to have it shatter.

Chase sat there, frozen for a moment before his gaze slowly drifted towards Jack, only to have Jack burst into laughter followed by everyone else, Chase shrugged his shoulders and laughed along with them.
