It’s a Grey Area

CHAPTER 6

A/N: Getting further into last episode. Not gonna lie... I saw it like 2x... It wasn’t great either times. So. Trying to get through it. If some things are off between this and the next couple of chapters, it’s cause I’m going off my memory and basic summaries on the internet. It’s not going to end once we get through the plot of Ep 9 though. There’s still more to explore. So. I said, I was changing some things, but not everything. I am not a medical expert, when I talk about the brain scans, I’m going off what I remember of what certain brain disorders look like. Other than that: “talk” ‘thoughts’  “Force Talk” 

Gif is from @captain-flint of whom i wouldnt remember this entire scene without.

The next few weeks were hectic. There came word of a spy for the First Order, and they gave damn good information. However, no one knew who it was. They passed on their information through a network of rebel sympathizers.

That’s where Poe currently was, gathering the new intel. Blix was in the middle of training with Ben and Rey. Ben didn’t need too much training, but his skills were being refined. He was learning to use the Force for good. Rey was learning just how powerful she truly was. However, there were some… concentration issues, as Blix soon discovered.

Rey came forward after running the obstacle course, with BB-8 directly behind her looking… rough.

“Oh. No. Uhoh. Um. Maybe I can fix you before Poe comes back,” Blix fretted as she kneeled down and looked him over.

BB angrily beeped at her, saying a tree was dropped on him. “I know honey. I know. Uhh. Oh boy. Poe’s going to kill me.” He beeped. “True. He’ll kill Rey then me.”

There was commotion behind them near the flight deck, and as they turned their attention to it, they saw the Falcon… on fire.

Rey stared at it and Poe and Finn in disbelief as they made their way over to them.

“It’s on fire. The.. the whole thing is on fire,” She began looking at Poe with mild horror. “Han’s ship.”

“What did you do to the droid?” Poe asked staring down at BB with an expression mixed between concern and anger.

“What did you to the Falcon?” Rey threw back, glancing at the 2 annoyed.

“Falcon’s in a lot better shape than he is,” Poe argued gesturing toward BB.

“BB-8’s not on fire-“ Rey began before she was cut off.

“What’s left of him isn’t on fire!” Poe nearly shouted his own look of horror growing as he continued to examine the state of BB.

Finn and Blix glanced at each other; Finn shrugged not wanting to get involved, and Blix was trying to not laugh.

Their arguing continued, and when they thought it was over, BB-8 then felt the need to tell Poe what had happened. That stirred the arguing back up before Poe stormed off in a huff.

“BB. Was that really necessary honey?” Blix lightly admonished him. “C’mon. Let’s go get you fixed up and then go find your dad. Hopefully by then he’ll have settled.”

An hour later after a quick stop in the repair shop, BB-8 was bright and shiny again. “Alright. Let’s go find Poe yeah?”

They took off toward his room, and as they stepped in, they see Poe tiredly running a hand through his curls, exhaustion radiating from him.

BB rushed forward to show himself off. Poe quietly told him he looked great before turning his gaze toward Blix. He beckoned her over with a wave of his hand, and she strolled over to him, a look of concern on her face.

“What’s up honey? What happened?” She quietly asked as she stood between his knees.

“It.. we had to light speed skip.. to get outta there. Ya know… I’ve gone on many missions… but this is one of the rare few times… that I was scared that I wasn’t going to come back… It’s like… the closer we get to finally finishing this war… the more I worry. About… everything,” He quietly confessed as he leaned to rest his head against her stomach.

She gently brushed her fingers through his hair, trying to relax him. “That’s not all that strange honey. It just means, that you are finally seeing the end, and the closer you get to it, the scarier it is. Besides, you’re not allowed to die. Not until we’ve married, had many kids and grow old with each other,” She informed him, pressing a kiss to his unruly curls.

“Is that so? Well. I’ll make sure to not disappoint you,” Poe sadly promised.

“You could never disappoint me. I got to work the Medbay for a couple hours. I’ll come get you for dinner,” She whispered to him before urging him to lay down and rest.

He laid down with a nod and muttered something that sounded like he understood.

Blix made her way to Medbay and began working there. About 30 minutes before her shift was to end, she got a visit from someone she didn’t expect.

“General Leia. What brings you here?” Blix asked concerned.

“I have been having some headaches. Wondered if you could help me figure out what’s wrong?” Leia answered with a heavy sigh.

Blix nodded quickly and led her over to one of the beds, so she could sit or lay down.

“How long have you’ve been experiencing the headaches? Any confusion, lightheadedness, trouble remembering stuff?” She began as she grabbed a device to scan her head.

“Sometime after Crait and yes to all of the above,” She answered.

“You mean… sometime after you were tossed into space and nearly died? That long?” Blix asked alarmed.

Leia nodded once. Blix completed her scans and made her way over to computers to print them out. A few minutes later, she was examining them with a deep frown. She took a deep breath before mentally reaching out to Luke.

“Luke. Get Ben. The both of you need to come to Medbay. Now.”

A few minutes later they both walked in and began to ask her what was going on when they realized Leia was lying on the bed.

Blix led them over to her, and said, “I’m sorry, but… they need to know.”

She sets the scans onto the nearby board, grabbing a seat to begin explaining.

“This is your brain. See the large dark spot? That is inactivity. In most cases that’s not fairly abnormal, but when its almost the entire brain? There’s a problem. From… from the looks of it… your brain is dying. I don’t know if… its because of lack of oxygen from the attack, if you picked up something while exposed to space,” She began to explain.

“What… what do you mean? Can-can it be reversed?” Luke asked stuttering slightly.

“If we had known sooner? Maybe? At this point, it’s not a matter of if but when. I’m so sorry. I-… I don’t know of anything I can do except make you comfortable,” She hesitantly informed.

Ben turned and walked out at that. Luke began to follow after him, but Blix stopped him before he got out the door.

“Luke. Go after him. Do me a favor…. Talk to him like he’s your nephew, not your student. He doesn’t need Master Skywalker. He needs Uncle Luke,” Blix requested with a small frown.

Luke nodded and looked back over to his sister sadly, before exiting.

“I apologize for bringing them in without warning you, but they needed to hear that as well. What… What do you need me to do?” Blix appeased turning back to Leia.

“Honestly. They did need to know. You saved me the trouble of having to tell them later. Can you have Commander Dameron come in please?” Leia asked with a sad smile.

“Of course. Then I’ll give you something for the pain, something light, to at least take away the headache,” She promised before going over to her communicator.

She quickly got ahold of Poe and asked him to come see her. A minute later he walked in, looking slightly disheveled.

“What’s up baby?” He rasped rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

She nodded her head over to Leia, and he quickly made his way over to her. They talked quietly for a few minutes before Leia called Blix over.

“Dr. I wish for you to make a notice and note it my medical charts. I am currently unfit for duty, and as such has appointed Poe Dameron to acting General,” She commanded.

“Yes Ma’am. Lemme get you that medicine real quick too,” Blix noted, quickly giving her some medicine before doing as she requested.

Soon enough the entire base knew that the General Leia was unwell, and that Poe had taken her place. They both escorted Leia back to her room, before returning to Poe’s room. They both plopped down onto his bed with heavy hearts.

“You’re sure there’s… there’s nothing that can be done?” He sniffled.

“Jedi have the ability to heal, but… when the damage is that extreme… It would be giving up a life for a life,” Blix croaked.

She sees out of the corner of her eye, him nodding. His hand slowly reached out and held her own, fingers laced. They both slowly fell back onto the bed, staring at the ceiling.

“I… I don’t know how to be a general. I’m barely good at being a commander. What… what the hell am I supposed to do?” Poe questioned softly, shaking his head.

“Leia trusts you. She believes in you. You know the Resistance inside and out. I can’t think of anyone better suited to take over. You can do this baby. I know it,” She encouraged turning on her side to look at him.

“I’m going to make us some sandwiches, and then we should head to bed. We got a busy day tomorrow,” Blix announced as she sat up, and made her way over to the kitchen.

Tomorrow they would be heading to Pasaana, to figure out what happened to the Sith Wayfinder and the man who had it last. They ate dinner silently, and when they went to bed, Poe laid down, resting his head on her chest. They soon feel asleep with sadness in their hearts.

The next day, Poe, Rey, Finn, Chewie, C-3PO, BB-8 and herself were on their way to Pasaana. Ben stayed behind to watch over Leia with Luke.

As they landed and began making their way, following Luke’s steps, they realized that a festival was occurring. 3PO excitedly informed them it was a celebration of their ancestors and that it only occurred every 42 years. As they moved through the crowd, Blix looked over at Poe with a smile.

“What? What’s that look for?” Poe asked trying to squash his annoyance.

“Anyone ever tell you that you look very sexy with a scarf?” She flirted as she moved forward, her grin growing at the dumbfounded look that appeared on his face.

She came up to Rey as they were conversing with a local. She heard them talking about last names, and before Rey could say anything, Blix bounded forward.

“She’s a Kenobi. Adopted. But a Kenobi. C’mon lil sis, we got work to do,” Blix answered before dragging her away with a laugh.

As they made their way back over to the guys, another native walked up to her, and began to speak to her.

3PO began to translate, “I’m sorry to interrupt, but is that man over there your significant other.” And she motioned at Poe.

“Yes. He’s mine,” She answered with a smile.

She then draped a crown of flowers on her head, and then gave her a necklace to give to Poe.

“Do these items have some sort of significance? Are they important?” She asked curiously as she gently held the necklace with both hands.

3PO informed her, “That it was to signify your union. In some ways, it is considered a marriage in their culture, if General Poe accepts the necklace.”

She silently mouthed an “Oh.”

She looked over at Poe and then back at the native and said, “Wish me luck.”

Blix made her way over to him, and Poe stared at her curiously, his eyes glancing up at the flower crown.

“So. Apparently… if you accept me giving this necklace to you, we are considered hitched in this culture. May I?” She offered holding the necklace up.

He smiled, shaking his head slightly, but leaned down to allow her to put it on him. While he was leaned down, he asked, “Do you really think I look sexy with this scarf?”

She gave him a kiss in response and a wink. He tensed as he looked over her shoulder. “We got stormtroopers.”

A few minutes of panicked running and they were safely hidden with Lando Calrissian. Rey grabbed her attention really quick and asked hesitantly, “Did… did you mean what you… what you said earlier?”

“That you’re a Kenobi? Yeah. Damn straight you are. Listen. If or when, we find out your lineage, it won’t change how everyone in this caravan or within the Rebellion sees you. You’ll still be my kid sister. May as well make it official,” She assured holding her hand.

Rey smiled at her, her eyes watering up.

“Don’t you dare cry. If you cry, I’ll cry, and that’s not a good look for either of us,” Blix fretted jokingly.

Rey laughed at that and as they pulled to a stop, they followed Lando’s instruction over where they last tracked Ochi’s presence.

They explored the area, walking onto a strange patch of blackened sand. They looked every which way trying to figure out what had happened, when suddenly they began to sink. Poe grabbed onto her, as Finn tried shouting something at Rey.

When they finally dropped, they were in a small tunnel. Blix pulled out her lightsaber and turned it on, prompting Rey to do the same. As they moved forward, they looked around cautiously. They soon ran into a large serpentine creature, who allowed them to move past, when Rey reached down to heal it.

When he had moved, they discovered a corpse lying there. Ochi. Amongst his remains was a dagger that had a strange language inscribed on it.

Blix gently picked it up and stared at it concentrating. “It’s the Sith language. It’s… old… Difficult to translate.”

“But can you translate it?” Poe asked looking at the dagger over her shoulder.

“It would take time. Time we don’t have. 3PO? You got any ideas?” She admitted before turning her attention to the droid.

“Why, yes, I can translate it, Doctor. However, it is against my programming to translate it,” 3PO stated.

“So, the one time we need you to speak, you can’t?” Poe and Blix asked at the same time.

“Cool. Great. So… who knows how to override said programming?” Blix asked the group.

Poe winces, his face scrunching up as he thought. “I do. But. It’s risky.”

“Risky? How?” Finn asked exasperated.

“I’ll explain later, let’s get out of here for now,” Poe dismissed moving forward, following the path the serpent took.

Blix, Rey, and Finn all squinted at him in suspicion and looked at each other, then back at him.

“That was sus, right?” Blix asked in a whisper.

“Extremely,” Finn replied squinting his eyes at Poe’s back as they began to follow him. “Blix. Ask him why he bein’ weird?”

“What? Why me?” She blinked in slight confusion.

“He’s your boyfriend.” Came two voices in response.

Blix sighed with a laugh and ran up to walk alongside Poe.

“So…Why you bein so secretive, babe?” She asked, after a moment, not looking at him.

“We have to go to Kimiji,” He quietly muttered.

“….the planet… where you were a spice…runner? The one where your partner stabbed you? That Kimiji?” She clarified her voice slowly becoming more and more panicked.

He quickly grabbed her hand with his, and shushed her gently, “Hey. Don’t panic. It’ll be fine. I promise.”

“I wish I had your undying hope, but past encounters throw doubt,” She angrily whispered back, making her way forward, toward the end of the tunnel, shaking her head.

“Are you… are you seriously mad at me?” He asked incredulous, running up to catch her.

“Yes. You want us to go to the one place, where you could potentially be KILLED. Just for existing. And what? I’m supposed to be okay with that? No. We can… we can find another way, another… something. I don’t know,” She ranted panic beginning to consume her.

“Honey. Honey. We will be fine. You just said, we don’t have the time. You want to spend however long trying to find someone else to reprogram a droid, or do you want to try and translate it yourself?” Poe reasoned, trying to get her to focus on him.

Blix breathed heavily through her nose, looking away, not thrilled with this plan at all.

“Let’s just… get back to the Falcon. Regroup there,” She said finally walking in its direction.

As they were walking, Blix slowly came to a halt. She felt a presence coming toward them, a dark one.

As everyone began stepping up onto the rock formation, to get into the Falcon, Blix turned her attention toward the energy she was feeling. Rey quietly walked over to her and tensed as she realized what was going on. In the distance they could see a TIE-fighter rushing toward them.

“Rey. Run. Now!” Blix commanded shoving her toward the Falcon.

She turned her lightsaber back on and prepared herself. She took a deep breath and twirled the lightsaber.

As the fighter approached, she tensed her legs, preparing to jump. As soon as it was close enough, she leapt into the air, flipping over the fighter and running her lightsaber down its left wing. She landed in a crouch as the fighter crashed a few feet away.

From the wreckage, a figure dressed in black, wearing a hood and a face mask appeared. As the figure came to face her, she could see a pair of eyes that glowed like amber.

“Darth Sidious didn’t mention another Force wielder. Who are you?” came a raspy, feminine voice.

“I’m complicated,” Blix said sarcastically, throwing her hand out to use Force push the Sith away.

The push threw her back a couple of steps, but otherwise didn’t deter her. The Sith began to walk toward her, when Rey intervened, slashing at her with her own saber.

Blix tried to intervene, but the Sith was now focused on Rey, taunting her; trying to provoke her for some reason. They kept moving away, so she couldn’t hear what was being said, she just knew that all of sudden, Rey screamed in anger, lightning shooting from her hands.

Blix’s eyes widen in surprise, she could vaguely hear Poe screaming about more enemies coming in. Rey looked at her with such terror at what she just did. Especially when bolt was directed at another enemy ship that may have had Chewie on it.

Blix looked at the Sith who stood quite smugly, staring at Rey. While she was distracted in her gloating, Blix decided to give her a taste of her own medicine. She felt the Force surge around her, and she directed as much energy as she could to both of her hands, throwing them out at her.

The Force blasted her off her feet and tossing her several feet away.

“REY! C’MON!” Blix yelled out.

Rey rushed over toward her, grasping Blix’s outreached hand, the both of them rushing to the Falcon

As they raced onboard, Poe taking off as soon as they had jumped onto the ramp. It took mere seconds for them to reach space and make the jump to hyperspace. The both of them collapsed against the wall, breathing heavy.

Blix looked at Rey and pulled her into her arms. Rey shook, soft sobs coursing through her. She could hear her thoughts running amok, one thought that stood out clearly: ‘I killed Chewie.’

“Honey. We don’t know that. There were two transporters. It’s quite possible he was on the other one, okay? If so, we will save him, alright?” Blix whispered to her, as Rey held onto her tightly.

“As for the other thing… even if… you are his grandchild… that doesn’t change how everyone here sees you. That doesn’t change our love for you. You’re still my adopted kid sister, got it? In my eyes, you are a Kenobi,” Blix affirmed turning Rey’s head to look her in the eyes.

Rey tearfully nodded her head, before burying it back into Blix’s chest, her tears continuing, but not as harshly. They sat like that until Rey calmed down, and slowly fell asleep in her arms. Blix pressed some kisses to her hair affectionately. Blix slowly gathered her in her arms, picking her up, and carrying her over to one of the beds. She laid Rey down, making sure she was comfortable before grabbing blanket to cover her.

Blix made her way to the cockpit where Poe and Finn sat.

“Finn. Can you… can you go watch over Rey? I don’t want her to be alone right now,” Blix quietly requested.

Finn nodded his head, standing up. “How… how is she doing?” He asked as he got next to her, pausing.

“Not good. She just now fell asleep. I don’t know how long she’ll sleep, but I don’t want her to wake up alone.,” She began. “She’s feeling lost. Don’t..uh. Don’t. bring up what happened unless she does first. She’s still processing it, okay?”

Finn mumbled he understood before continuing out to her.

Blix all but collapsed into the co-driver’s seat.

“If you didn’t join the Navy, or the Rebellion… what would you be doing?” Blix wondered, staring at the ceiling.

“Ooh. Tough question. Mechanic. Or smuggler. Think I could’ve given Han a run for his money,” Poe answered thinking on it for a second. “You?”

“Pod Racer. Politics are too boring. Maybe even train kids on it,” She noted with a tired sigh.

“When this war is finally over… I’m taking you to my home in Naboo, and we are not leaving my bed for a week,” She announced as she straightened up.

“Deal. But you have to also come home with me to Yavin and meet my dad. Need for him to meet the woman who’s going to become his daughter in law,” He countered leaning over to press a kiss to her lips.

“Sounds good,” She replied leaning forward, resting her elbows on her thighs, looking at her hands.

“My mom would’ve liked you,” She whispered staring at the ring he got her on their first date.

“My mom would’ve loved you. Would’ve thought it was hilarious that you kept rejecting me for a year. She always said, I would wind up with someone who would keep me on my toes,” Poe admired, his hand gently stroking her cheek.

“How long until we reach Kimiji?” She wondered looking at the controls. “And uhh… can the controls go on auto pilot?”

Poe flicked a couple of switched with a small smile. “It’ll be a couple of hours. Wanna go lay down for a bit?”

She nodded her head, and they both stood up, walking toward the nearby bed. Poe laid down first on his back and waved her over once he was situated. She grabbed a blanket, holding it over her shoulders like a cape, before crawling on top of him. She gently maneuvered the blanket to cover the both of them, before sinking onto his chest.

The gentle lull of his heartbeat coaxed her to sleep, as Poe watched over her for a few minutes before going to sleep as well.

C-3PO and BB-8 were charging after the hectic morning. Rey had at some point woke up, and persuaded Finn to curl up next to her. The moment his arm wrapped around her; she was out again.

“I want to tell you, that I love you,” Finn whispered into her hair. “Maybe one day, I’ll be brave enough to tell you when your awake.”

He eventually fell asleep as well.

The occupants of the Falcon were momentarily at peace. It had been a rough couple of hours, and they all knew, that it was probably going to get worse. But for now, they were going to take refuge in the peace. Once they dropped out of hyperspace, things would be hectic again. But the end was near. They were on their way to finally defeating the Empire, they just needed to continue fighting.

ELSEWHERE

Darth Sidious was angry.

"What do you mean "there was another Jedi" Maeve?" He seethed.

"Exactly that, my lord. She was powerful. She was able to toss me like I weighed nothing. She's protective of your granddaughter though. Maybe we can use her to convince Rey to join us?" Darth Maeve suggested.

"Hm. We shall see. I need to know what drives her. If she can be turned easily," Darth Sidious contemplated cackling. "If so, we can turn the tides on this ridiculous Rebellion, and the Dark side shall rule all. Continue with our plans for now."

"Yes, my lord," Maeve responded disconnecting her projection.

~Late Night With Darkiplier~ (Darkiplier X Anxious! Teen! Reader)

Authors Note: Sorry for being inactive. I have a lot to do, so here’s some Dark fluff with his kid :)

Fandom: Markiplier Egos

Pairing: Darkiplier X Anxious! Teen Reader

Warning(s): Anxiety attack, cursing, PLATONIC Reader 

Anyways, please enjoy~

~~~~~Y/n P.O.V.~~~~~

This was a mistake.

I should have left while I could.

My friends said they were having a small party. Of course, my mind was thinking of about 6 people, but my friends decided to be dooshes. At first, it started out with the three of us, but then more and more people started coming. The party started to get crowded and wilder by the second. Of course, it wouldn't be a high school house party without beer and any kind of drugs they could get their hands on.

I am currently locked in the bathroom, not daring to go out into the sea of drunk and high teens. I could always call one of the egos to come to pick me up but they're all asleep.

Well, except for one.

Do I dare call Dark to come to pick me up from a party I didn't tell him about? Maybe he would understand. After all, he should know parties aren't really my thing. I would much rather stay at home playing video games and eat junk food all day then get high as shit off of the dollar store kush.

I look at my phone for the time. "1:48" I curse to myself, hoping Dark is still up. I took a deep breath as I hit the call button. I gave a shaky breath as I waited for him to pick up.

"Do you have any idea what time it is?" I heard Dark's annoyed voice through the phone. "H-hey demon dad #1. Hows-hows your night going?" I shakily asked, trying to sound casual. "Don't try to flatter me, that never works. “What's wrong?" Dark asked. He knew something was wrong by my voice. Of course, I didn't even try to hide my nervousness from him. He would find out one way or another.

"You know how I was going to hang out with my friends for a small get together?"

"Yes."

"Well, that 'small' get together turned into a teen rave party with probably over 100 people. I may or may not have locked myself in the bathroom." I explained on the phone. I could hear a sigh with some shuffling coming from the other end. I can feel my body starting to shake more furiously than before. For me, talking to Dark was never easy. I had a sense that I was always bothering him in some way. Eather I was casually talking to him or I was just standing in the same room.

"I will be there in 5"

I gave a small thank you as I hung up and shoved my phone in my pocket. I could feel the tears prick up in the corners of my eyes as I sat next to the bathtub. My chest began to feel heavy while my breathing quickened. I dug through my backpack I brought to try and find my earbuds/headphones. As I vigorously shoveled my hand through the bag, I found what I was looking for and pulled them out as quick as I can. I untangled the thin wire and plugged it into the device.

I let the soothing music flow through my ears as I pull my hood over my head. Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath as I cradled myself from what lurks beyond the bathroom door. Tears rolled down my face leaving spots on my sleeves. I try to focus on the soft lyrics of the song but it was sort of hard to do while there was loud banging on the door.

Wait.

I snatched my earbuds/headphones out and started to panic while someone angrily knocks on the protective barrier that shields me from the outside world. My breathing quickened as the knocking got louder and more vigorous.

'No no no, please go away. Not here, not now. Please get here soon Dark.'

The doorknob wiggled.

'No please leave me alone.'

Pounding on the door.

'Don't come in! Please give up and walk away!' My fast breaths turned into hyperventilating as I sat in the tub trying to hide myself. My hands were covering my ears as my body shook. It felt like an invisible figure sat on my chest trying to suffocate me. More tears spilled from my eyes on to my cheeks.

There was a loud thud as I felt arms wrap around me and lift me up. I look up to see Dark with a stern look on his face. His red and blue 3D effect grew as the ringing became louder and louder until it fully blocked the music and laugher out. I didn't know what to do besides snuggling my head in his chest. That's just what I did.

My shaking form was beginning to relax as Dark walked out of the house. He set me in the passenger's seat of his car and quickly got into the driver's seat. My breathing was still heavy but not as bad when I was in that stupid house. I curled up in the seat and watched the buildings fly by as we drove off into the night.

As we came up on the street the house was on, dark didn't slow down. Instead, he drove right past. "Where are we going?" I turn toward the dark entity. We came to a stop at a stop sign and Dark turned to me. "I figured I would... make you feel better by taking you to a cafe. It's late at night and nobody will be there besides ourselves." I gave a soft smile as the car started moving again.

We arrived at a small cafe that is open 24/7. The both of us walked in and took a seat in one of many empty booths. A waiter came and took our order. Dark got a plain black coffee while I ordered a (drink). There was a silence between the two of us until I spoke.

"Sorry"

"What are you apologizing for?" Dark asked, confused. "For bothering you all the time." I fiddled with the sleeves of my hoodie.

The waiter came back with our drinks in hand. She placed them on the table and walked off. "Since when have you ever bothered me." Dark raised an eyebrow. I took a nervous sip of my drink. "You are one of the only people that haven't annoyed me in any way, and that's saying something."

"Really?" I was surprised. I knew he was being honest because he usually is forward with his hatred toward someone. Dark nodded as he took a drink of his coffee. Feeling better about myself, I gave a bright smile.

We both talked for a while as we enjoyed the nice silence of the cafe. We usually never get this kind of quiet at the house. It's always hectic there.

I leaned back into my seat as I felt comfortable, but not totally comfortable. I needed someone to vent to about my friends and maybe get some advice. Someone that's not fully male.

"Um, Dark?" Dark gave a soft hum. "Do you think I could talk to Celine?"

Dark paused mid-sip at the question. He carefully set the mug down on the table and folded his hands. "What's your reasoning?" Dark raised an eyebrow. I swallowed nervously as I answered. "I just needed advice from a female figure, is all." I sunk back into my seat as I waited for him to answer. Dark sighed and gave a small nod. I watched as his 3D effect became fully red. Dark opened his eyes. Instead of seeing his pitch black eyes, they were red. Not a bright, blood red, but a smooth and warming shade of red.

They blinked a couple of times until their focus was on me. "Hey their Y/n, It's nice to talk to you again." There was a more feminine voice mixed into the echo. She gave me a warm smile. "It's nice to finally have some kind of female interaction. I don't have a lot of that back home." Celine giggled. "So, what are we gossiping about?" She leaned closer into the table. I gave a frustrated grown. "My friends are dirtbags." "What did they do?" I rested my head in my hand as I leaned on the table. "They have been awful in the past few weeks. They make me late to my classes, steel my food, I'm pretty sure they're talking behind my back right about know, and the stupid party they didn't tell me about!" I laid my head on the table in frustration. "You might need to find some new friends." "You think?" Celine gave a confident nod as she stood up and pulled my arm to pull me out of my seat. "You seem frustrated. I know a place that always calmed me down." Celine threw some money on the table and marched out of the door and into the car. I hopped in and buckled myself up while she did the same.

We were driving for a while until we came to a stop at a hill full of flowers. The both of us got out of the vehicle. Celine linked her arm with mine and led me to a particular spot that was lit up with some sort of glowing rocks in a form of a circle. "What is this?" I said in awe. "Damien, William, and I came here sometimes to get away from the world. It is just as beautiful as I remembered." Celine smalled as she plucked some of the flowers. I did the same with some red and blue flowers.

I was snapped out of my concentration on weaving the stems when I felt something placed onto my head. I reached out to touch what was placed on my head and felt a bunch of flowers in a row. I smiled and continued my flower crown.

I placed the last flower in its place and looked at it proudly. Celine looked like she was spacing out so I carefully placed the crown on her head. She jumped but started giggling as she felt what was on her head. Her giggling started to turn into chuckling as her red area started to fade into blue. I thought Dark was coming back but the blue started to glow brighter than the red.

"Y/N!"

I was pulled into a massive hug as we fell back into the flowers. I was laying on his chest while he was hugging me tightly. "It's wonderful to see you again!" I laughed as I hugged back.

"It's nice to see you to Damien."

I was going to get up but Damien squeezed me tighter in his arms. I giggled while snuggling into his chest. "How have things been?" He asked. I sighed and buried my face in his coat. "Okay, I guess." "That doesn't sound too convincing. tell me what's wrong." I look up at the mayor. "I guess it's just stress from everything that's been happening," I answered truthfully. I look into Damien's soft blue eyes. "Don't let the pain of the world get to you. Everything will be over soon, I promise." I gave a tired smile as I lay my head back onto his chest. "Thank you." was the last thing I said before sleep consumed me.

~~~~~3rd P.O.V.~~~~~

As you fell asleep, Damien smiled down at you. "Your welcome."

The blue area started to face into its normal size along with the red. Dark's eyes turned black as he blinked a few times. He looked around and then at you. A small smile formed on his face as he gently picked you up.

He carefully walked back to the car and set you in the passenger's seat. Dark drove home in silence, glancing at you to make sure you were comfy or awake.

As Dark brought you into the house, he made sure everyone was still asleep. He took you to your room and carefully removed your shoes and placed you in bed.

Before leaving, Dark threw a blanket over your sleeping form and placed a gentle kiss on your forehead.

Hello Jurors, Pre-jurors, Walkers and the fallen king and queen who were sadly expelled from the game!  The four remaining castaways have some things they would like to say about each of you- here goes!  Since we have a large jury, we are doing two separate posts- this first one is for the pre-jury, the walkers and the two that were expelled. <3

 TOBY

Dom: I really don't remember you but hey!!!

Elijah: Honestly ngl i was lost af for the first weeks of the game and im super sorry i didnt get the chance to know yall!! overall i feel like you guys were nice ppl if i had gotten the chance to talk to all of you!

Elsa: Hi Toby, I don’t think we spoke much, if at all. ): Although I did just search through our past messages, and the only thing we talked about was your name being about LEGO and not a K-pop boy band member lakwjewa.

Nehemiah: IDK you

RONNIE

Dom: I'm sorry you went early!! You weren't on :(

Elijah: Honestly ngl i was lost af for the first weeks of the game and im super sorry i didnt get the chance to know yall!! overall i feel like you guys were nice ppl if i had gotten the chance to talk to all of you!

Elsa: Hngh, hi Ronnie. I don’t think we spoke at all either.. Or maybe we did a bit?? I think we were put on the block together though so ): ): 

Nehemiah: I actually wanted you to last longer

SAMUEL

Dom: Read above

Elijah: Honestly ngl i was lost af for the first weeks of the game and im super sorry i didnt get the chance to know yall!! overall i feel like you guys were nice ppl if i had gotten the chance to talk to all of you!

Elsa: Hi Sam!! Wow, it was a shame seeing you leave the game so early. It’s kinda insane how easily the tables can turn. Thank you for saving me that 1 week I was on the block though ♥ Hope you’re doing well!

Nehemiah: Idr you

CHRISSA

Dom: CHRISSA <3 THE QUEEN!! I ADORE YOU <3 You're such an iconic person I'm so glad we got to play another game together (even though it was for a hot second) I hope you're doing great <3

Elijah: i love to play orgs with you!! im very sorry about you leaving this game and wish you couldve stayed longer to play! you know youre one of my fav ppl in this community and even played with me in my first ever org known as Dreamworld (yikes)! hope all is well with you outside the house and were gonna have tons of fun playing in Eggplant together!!🍆🍆;)

Elsa: Lol, hii Chrissa. Yet another ROP message from me. It sucked that you had to medevac the game, because I didn’t want to vote you out that week, and thought we could work together ): I hope you’re doing well though, and you must have had your reasons. xxx

Nehemiah: ;( really would've loved hanging with ya

KELSEY

Dom: FALLEN QUEEN! I'm glad we were able to overcome the beef that we had between us from the past. You're such a nice person and I'm super happy about where we've come. Sorry you had to die for me to live :(

Elijah: hello queen omg it seems like its been ages since you left and i cannot be more upset about you being medevacd from this game!! i wish you couldve kept competing and voting to stay here but i totally get that irl stuff comes before this stuff so i just hope you know that i enjoyed playing this game with you and hope we can play another game together in the future!! hoping everything with you is all good outside of the game!!<3

Elsa: Kelsey ): ): ): ): Whyyyyyyyyy. Kelsey, why oh why did you have to strike out. It really did make the game a lot more complicated for some of us lmao. Ahh, anyway, Kelsey you are a lovely person and it really made me sad that you weren’t as active towards the end. Although I’m sure that was because of work and stuff. Idk if we would have still been on the same side had you stayed in the game, but the alliance we had for the short while we actually worked together was fun ♥♥ Hope everything is going well for you.

Nehemiah: Ms. Valentina I never turned on you and you seemingly turned on me but hey it's fine. I still love your ass.

JOSH

Dom: JOSH!! I ADORE YOU!!! You're one of the sweetest people in this community. I'm sorry that this game rigged you out. You're such a breath of fresh air in my day. START A STREAK WITH ME!!

Elijah: JAWSH!!! king of kings? Even though you were a bit inactive for my taste i really love playing orgs with you bc youre fun and crackdt as fuck. I kept you wrapped around my finger as much as i could to ensure that you were kind of a meat shield for me if that makes sense? By making that point i mainly mean saving my ass from eviction an extra week by keeping you safe with the veto that one week before you were medevacd from the game. I mainly kept you due to knowing you were going to strike out bc of all the irl stuff like work you were busy with all the time!! Knowing you would strike out a week or two after gave myself the advantage of safety for an extra week and keeping my beautiful idol for myself (uwu) !! also i kept you due to me keeping my word during that HECTIC ASS CHAOTIC WEEK THAT WAS LIKE A MILLION POWERS USED... it was a very tough decision for me either going back on my word on my friend vs being targetted for using the veto to save you and risk being nommed alongside you afterwards in a following week as a “duo” since there was so many fucking “duos” in this game YALL KNOW WHO YOU ARE OALVONWKSNABWVD. Overall wishing you couldve played this game a bit longer just to keep you around for a good laugh and also to make sure i tried to keep you in my back pocket for whenever i needed something to be done along the lines of vote wise or manipulating you to do my dirty work for me! i love u sm and cannot wait to speak after this game is over dad!! <3

Elsa: Hngh, Josh. Yet another casualty of the strike system. Uhhhhh, I don’t think we spoke much either lol. We did vote together 1 or 2 times, but yeah, for the most part, besides in the tribe/house chat, we never really talked. But you seemed like a fun and great person, so I’m sad we never took the time to get to know each other. X

Nehemiah: You were like legit half-playing this game but you made it very far and I had a blast with you.
