Jack's P.O.V.

" What did he mean 'I'm sorry'?!" I thought worriedly.

Mark climbed out the window as I followed. I was nervous on what he meant, but I had my full faith in Mark. We walked through the woods in my backyard for what seemed like hours until we reached a small clearing.

" Okay Dark. You can come out now." Mark sighed.

I clung to Mark's arm worriedly.

" Who is he talking to?!"

My mind was racing. My heart was pounding. I heard a twig snap near us, I yelped and grabbed Mark's shirt.

" Mark, I'm scared." I whispered, my head now burrowed into his chest.

Mark pulled me closer, rubbing my head reassuringly. The trees around us rustled a bit as two figures came out from the woods. My heart was hammering against my chest, I thought it was going to explode.

The first man was very handsome. He looked just like Mark. His blood red hair was swept backwards and into a point towards the end of his head. He had piercing red eyes and Mark's perfectly toned skin. He wore tight black jeans and a leather jacket.

The second man took my breath away. He looked like me except his hair was blown upwards. He had one piercing blue eye like mine, and a strikingly green one. He wore a black hoodie with a devilish Septiceye Sam on it. He wore tight black jeans and what seemed to be a shock collar. A black goo dripped from his eye, he flicked it away and winked at me.

" M--m--m--ar--k--k!" I stuttered nervously.

" Who's the new boy toy Dark." Mark grumbled, rolling his eyes.

" I might ask the same, Mark." Dark growled in a subductive manner.

This man, Dark as he called himself, had a voice that seemed an octave lower than Mark, if that's even possible.

" You wanted to see me, so what is it?" Mark asked, seeming rather bored.

I found that I was hyperventilating. I calmed down by burying my face into Mark's chest again, ignoring the two looming figures.

Dark moved the slightest bit causing Mark to block me away from him.

" You see..." Dark purred, tracing a finger along Mark's jawline, " We and my... friend here... need a place to stay. And you've got one."

" Piss off Dark. You and this thing," he started, gesturing to the 'twin' of mine, " can get a place of your own."

Dark stepped back and chuckled lowly.

" Mark." I squeaked, embedding my face deeper into his chest.

Mark gripped my shoulder tighter and backed up a bit.

" It's going to be okay Jack." he whispered reassuringly.

" Help me and Anti out, or else." Dark hissed.

" Or else what." Mark stated sassily.

" This." Dark growled.

Anti had a long, black, gooey tentacle come out of his back. Mark's dad was held on the end.

" DAD!" Mark shrieked.

I pulled away from Mark and looked up in terror. I then glanced over at Mark. His beautiful chocolate brown eyes were filled with glassy tears.

" Son... it's okay. Even if you help these bastards, they'll kill me anyways. Listen to me. Take care of us Sawtooths, okay? Take care of mom and Tom. Be a good alpha." Mark's dad said sorrowfully.

" Oh M--ar--k." I cried.

" I will dad. I won't let these sons of bitches ruin us. I will never. O--k--ay?" Mark's voice cracked at the end.

" You'll be okay Mark. Don't let these bastards bring you down. Don't let 'em fuck you over. Be you. And shine. For me."

" Okay okay okay. I love you dad." Mark sobbed.

" I love you too Mark."

I kneeled on the ground sobbing. Mark doesn't deserve this. He doesn't deserve any of this.

" Say bye bye, bitch!" Anti cheered.

Anti's tentacle thing snapped his neck. His body crippled to the ground.

" YOU ABSOLUTE MOTHER FUCKING BITCHES! " Mark screamed.

Mark fell to his knees next to me. I held him close to my chest, us both sobbing. I rubbed his back soothingly, even though I was choked up on sobs myself. My sadness suddenly turned into anger. Not just anger, pure hatred. These people, well, these things, cause so much pain to Mark. My Mark. I let go of Mark and shifted. My bright blue eyes bore daggers into these beasts, who were too busy gloating over their 'kill'.

I lunged at Anti's face, slashing his face with my back paw. I hit the ground and swiftly turned, not giving Dark and Anti any time to react. As I wheeled around a scratched Dark's face with my paw. The two screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Anti got up, his black blood trickling down his face. Long, black goo strands came out of his back and flung themselves at me. I dove and rolled towards the other end of the clearing. Mark shifted quickly and pounced on Dark, scratching and slicing at him.

" YOU! YOU KILLED HIM!" Mark shouted, his voice echoing through the forest.

" Lets leave." Anti giggled.

Dark and Anti teleported, leaving Mark and I in the middle of the forest. Mark shifted back and sat in the grass. Tears were stained in his face as he sat emotionlessly.

" Merk..." my Irish accent faltered.

Mark gripped me into a huge bear hug and let out a choked sob. And we sat in the forest, just holding each other.
