Shadowed (Jacksepticeye/Anti X Reader) [Finished]

Books and Letters

DAY 8: MORNING

I clasp a warm cup of tea in my frozen fingers, warming them as Sean looks across the table at me, clutching a messy little book with several papers falling out of it.

He sighs and rubs his head and tiredly holds up the book, very bluntly saying "I found this yesterday when you were asleep; inside my bedroom closet. It looked to be Anti's at first but it isn't. It doesn't make sense."

"What do you mean?" I ask taking the book from his hand, feeling the worn cover as I unclip the soft leather strap which wrapped from the back to the front cover. A folded letter fell out and Sean picked it up and laid it out flat on the table, showing me the nonsensical writing. Before I could say anything, Sean started speaking in his monotone voice again.

"I tried my best to translate it using this book I found a few months ago." He picked up the other book titled: 'DEMON SPEECH; A GUIDE: A useful basic guide for unfamiliar speakers by Prof.Emedica Beyat.'

He then slid the book which had several bookmarks and dog-eared pages. On top of it was a slip of paper with was probably the translation of the crumpled paper that I was holding.

I scan the two papers and slowly say "How did you figure... how long did this take?"

"4 hours." He replied flopping down onto the table. "It has two fucking sub-languages that are used together and also a ton of pre-fucking-fixes and suffixes."

"So, you are planning to translate this entire book of what looks to be hundreds of letters, diary entries, notes and random shit when it took 4 hours to translate a 10-sentence letter." I ask, flipping gently through the loose pages.

"I just want to figure this out before something happens. After that mirror incident Anti seemed really upset at that Inferna girl, and from what I can tell they used to be in a relationship? And then there was some guy called Dark he mentioned once or twice. You know anything about that, y/n?" Sean said, frowning at a paper he picked up from the page I was on.

I look into the untouched tea in my hands "I don't remember any of that, who's Inferna and Dark?"

"Oh, that right you were passed out, weren't you? Sorry." He sighs and rubs his temple, looking very stressed. "So, from what I can gather, that demon who came in through the mirror was Anti's former partner, Inferna. That demon is now in service of the... Hian ku Raylee was it? I'm not sure but I think that it's a royalty thing. Anyway, that's some guy called Dark that Anti clearly hates and from this..."

He holds up the translated letter again, tapping the part saying: 'Recently, Dark has taken over the castle and has torn up the flags and banners, replacing with his own. As well as that, the guards smashed all of Mother's poison. Speaking of which, I do not know where Mother and Father are.'

I finish his spiel and conclude with "Does that mean Anti is some sort of Demon royalty and Dark took over the castle, taking Anti's throne, as well as possibly killing his parents in the process?"

Sean nodded, returning his attention to the note in his hands. "That seems to be what's happening... the last time I spoke to Anti, he was really distressed. Apparently, Inferna made him 'Shift'. He said he wanted to be human, not a demon, to be normal and happy. Ligu he called it."

I look down at the messy leather-bound notebook before me, wide open and say with a small smile "Maybe this time in 4 hours, we could have 20 lines finished." He looks up at me and for the first time this morning he smiles.

"You're on."

-Inferna's POV-

Carefully she lifted the black raven feather quill shakily and opened the small vial of ink. This was the most difficult letter to write... how was she going to betray her beloved prince who supposedly loved her so much. Dark said Anti didn't love her but...

The words on the letter next to her made her heart pang with guilt. 'I will make my escape tomorrow evening at 12. Be ready. I love you.'

I love you, he said. The brutal powerful prince she had fallen head over heels with said he loved her. But then there was Dark... while Anti was insane and ruthless but so fun to be around, Dark was the complete opposite. Cunning and manipulative but... passionate.

She craved attention the Anti couldn't give anymore, so she took a sip of her drink and began to print down everything she knew.

-????'s POV-

Circling and circling in the pitch black I wander, my voice giggly and singsong as I dance around. "They're finally there!" I laugh maniacally looking into the house and I grin seeing the two of them hunched over on the table, working hard. "Wouldn't it be fun if I came back in since I'm stronger now! My powers are back and I'm happier than I've been in a long time! AHAHAHHHAHHA!" My body briefly shakes and the smile slips for a moment "No you don't want this... it's so MUCH FUN, LET'S HAVE FUN." I grin once more and grip onto the edges of the window for a moment, my smile wide as I watch them for a moment before stalking back into the darkness, still talking to no one.
