Chapter 6 is here! 

(I had to release this chapter really early because I’m going to be busy at the normal time. Sorry!) 

This chapter is going to be a lot shorter than the others, but I had to make it this way, otherwise the next chapter would be far too long (it’s already sooo long! XD) Anyway, that’s all I want to say this time. Enjoy the chapter!!

Chapter 6 – 
Why aren’t you sleeping?

Jack jumped at the sudden noise from Anti. He’d been flicking through the files Chase had stolen from the lab, trying to get at least a scrap of useful information from it but failing miserably; it was just telling him things he already knew. He leaned back in the chair from his office that he’d painstakingly dragged all the way down into the living room with no help and sighed, looking at the egos sleeping before him.

Chase was sprawled out on the sofa, arms and legs everywhere and snoring loudly. Schneeple was sleeping in the armchair, arms across his stomach and not snoring. Robbie was curled up beside the armchair, lying on a blanket, arms and legs tucked in like how a dog would usually sleep, every once in a while jerking his leg out in an invisible kick as he dreamt. Jackaboy was laying just in front of the sofa, blankets and pillows from Jack’s bedroom making up his own bed, lying on his back with his head to the side. Marvin was on the other side of the armchair with the rest of Jack’s bedding, sleeping in his cat mask which he refused to take off even in bed, curled up as small as he could make himself and buried under the blankets so you could hardly see him.

Like I said, Jack thought in response to Anti, someone needs to watch over these. Anti chuckled.
That’s not the real reason though, is it? He replied.
What are you talking about? Jack thought dismissively.
Oh, come on Jack! Anti said gleefully, Or should I say, Sean, you seem to have forgotten that I’m INSIDE YOUR HEAD! Your thoughts are my thoughts, your actions are my actions!
Jack narrowed his eyes but said nothing.
That means I know your deepest, darkest thoughts, Anti continued, the ones that you even lie to yourself about…
Where is this going? Jack thought in a bored tone. Anti giggled.
You’re afraid of me.
Jack blinked in surprise.
What?
You’re afraid of me! Anti repeated, You’re afraid that if you sleep, I’ll just take over your body and go on a rampage! As long as you’re awake, you can fight me. Once you’re asleep, all your defenses are gone.
I’m- Jack went to argue but gave up. There was no point in arguing. Deep down, Jack knew Anti was right.
I am right! Anti said in response to the thought Jack had never actually directed at him, Do you see now, Sean? I know everything about you now I’m here. Everything. He chuckled, I mean, I could go into any of your electronics: your phone, your PC, even your TV, but living in there would just be…SO much less interesting.

Jack could feel himself getting tired. He stared intently at the TV as it showed some show he didn’t recognize. He was not going to fall asleep and let this monster have free reign of his body for the second time that day. He was not!
You’re right, by the way, Anti continued, being awake does make it harder for me to take control, but only when you’re paying attention. When you’re distracted from me, like you were when that robot attacked, it’s still pretty easy for me to get inside your body.
Well then, if I have to stay awake and concentrate on you the whole night, then so be it! Jack thought, I am not letting you out! This only made Anti laugh harder.
Oh, Sean…he said, a harsh tone to his voice, you really are just the knight in shining armor, aren’t you?! He paused for a moment before continuing. But don’t worry…I’m not going to take control now. Not tonight. Tonight, I’ll let you be…
Jack’s vision was starting to blur from exhaustion. He shook his head and forced his eyes to stay open as they threatened to close.
Why? Was all he could think.
Because tonight, Anti replied, barely able to speak through the giggles, tonight…you’re DREAMS are going to be far more interesting.
