“Henrik I'm fine I can go up and down the stairs just fine.”
Henrik gives Jack a Look that has him looking away.
“You need to take it easy, you are still recovering and-“
”Alright Alright I'll stay downstairs while you guys are gone.“ Trying to keep from sounding upset.
Henrik sighs, ”Look, Chase will back in a couple of hours, he's picking Angus up from the airport, just. If it weren't for Jackie you would have fallen yesterday.”
“That wasn't my fault!”
“I know, your legs gave out and that is the issue. You need to keep using your legs yes but I am begging you to use your cane and refrain from using the stairs.” Henrik tells him concerned.
“I know Marvin's potions are helping but they are not a cure all, you were-” Henrik takes a deep breath as he tries not to get upset further, he doesn't want to make Jack upset either but at this point it feels rather inevitable sometimes. He doesn't blame him it's just, frustrating.
“I'll be fine Henrik, I'll walk around down here and if I'm hungry I'll just grab something from the kitchen.” Jack assures.
Henrik still looks concerned before eventually caving and nodding.
”Alvight, Alvight. I'll leave you alone. Just, call one of us is something comes up, alvight?“
”Alright Alright, I'll be fine. Don't forget you have other patients to look after.“ Jack attempts to joke lightheartedly.
Henrik gives him a different Look.
”Jack, you are my brother, you are who I'm most concerned for.“ Henrik tells him softly.
Jack can't help but feel warm and nod a little.
”Now, I do need to go to work before I have to deal with Randy calling me.“
”Fuck he's still around? You'd like he'd retired by now.”
“Yes well he likes ruining my day, so I better go before I send him into an early grave. I love you, and remember to call if you need one of us.”
“I know, I know. I love you too, now go before Randy starts blowing up your phone.”
Henrik chuckles and nods, far more relaxed about leaving jack at home. “I'll see you soon.”
“See ya, and be safe!” Jack shouts after Henrik before falling into a coughing fit after the door closes.
Damn he's really pushing is voice right now. He imagines his asthma isn't too happy with him either.
He sits back and manages a few breaths before taking in the silence.
He hates it.
He was alone that night too, if Jackie hadn't come home and found him...
He shakes his head, wincing as his memories make his throat throb before turning on the TV to drown out his memories. It's his first time home alone since he woke up and he will not let the anxiety get to him.
It's a few hours later when Jack's stomach starts rumbling and he realizes he should probably get up and make himself something.
Grabbing the cane given to him by the hospital, he pushes himself off of the couch before slowly making his way to the kitchen.
He rummages through the cupboard first, going to grab a bag of chips before Henrik's words ring through his head, reminding him to eat healthy for at least the first few months. Jackie, Chase and Jameson still slip him some chips or candy bars when Henrik, Marvin or Jacques aren't paying attention or home but still.
He sighs before grabbing the oatmeal. Hopefully he'll remember it on the stove.
-
Good news! He did, bad news, he's forgotten where the spoons are.
He remembered them yesterday he knows he did, he remembers that he grabbed them just, not from where.
So now here he is, opening and closing draws as he tries to remember where before freezing dead is his tracks.
He stares at the drawer filled with the knives.
He swears he can feel his body painfully and forcefully glitching again as he stares at them and for a moment he swears one of them is coated with red.
And he knows it's not real. He knows it's not because they've replaced them after that night.
He slams the drawer shut as he stumbles back and into the dinning room table as he gasps for breath.
It feels like there are stones in his stomach as his appetite vanishes as he desperately tries to ground himself but he just can't.
He can feel the cold metal opening his throat when he couldn't even twitch a muscle. And then his voice, oh god it sounds like it’s right in his ear.
”Look at you!“
Chase and Angus come home hours later to find him passed out under the dining room table.

There's something weird going on, in the house, specifically the mirrors, sometimes someone will look in the mirror and there's these… scars, that could be seen, and when you blink they're gone.
But the most blatantly obvious are Jack’s videos there are these weird glitches, that warps his face or voice and sometimes it looks like he’s just sitting there… dead.
And worst of all Anti’s been acting different, more jumpy, practically glued to whoever is in the room with him side.
He’s been having nightmares too, of what they don’t know, he won't tell him, but sometimes he’ll wake up sobbing and apologizing before he asks about Jack.
Learning that he’s okay seems to help him fall back asleep.
And it seems almost every day now that they see Anti’s reflection and it just, looks wrong, Marvin swears that while Anti was distracted Anti’s reflection glared at him with the hatred of someone wishing him death.
And none of them are comforted by the fact that they’ve all caught him mumbling, pleading, with his reflection before that didn’t feel like his reflection until they made their presence more obvious.
.
It’s gotten to the point where Marvin, Jameson and even Chase and Henrik have covered any reflections in their rooms.
It makes it easier to ignore the whispering.
The most concerning thing is is how oblivious Jack is to all of it, and Anti’s been clinging to his side more and more, it concerns their brothers at how terrified he is to leave his side.
Marvin takes it upon himself to cover the mirrors in his and Jack’s room as well. At least until he can find out what's going on.
Regrettably that doesn’t seem to help Anti at all, it just seems to make him more paranoid with his eyes flittering about, as if he’s going to be attacked at any moment.
.
Marvin catches Anti staring blankly and unblinkingly into the bathroom mirror one morning. His eyes red and tears streaming down his face from his eyes desperate attempt to prevent from drying out.
They don’t leave Anti alone after that.
.
Henrik calls out of work sick, it worries Marvin when the man enters the house looking spooked with a hand resting by his neck.
Marvin’s hearts in his throat when he sees what he can only see rope burns in Henrik’s reflection on the granite counter top.
All these reflections, no matter what, seem to just get worse, Jackie burned and scarred, Henrik’s eyes dead with rope burns around his neck, Jameson’s eyes dead with what look like strings around his neck.
Chase with… Chase’s head bleeding and tears streaking down his face, Shawn’s eyes completely black, the man looking like he’s been drowned in Ink.
Markus with his limbs too long and strewn about, Angus burn scars that seem to engulf him, Jacques looking almost a sickly green and deep cuts all over his face (they’re rather grateful they’ve only seen his face in reflections after that one.)
Marvin himself has what appears to be burn scars all over his face and the most terrifying of all, they had caught Jack and Anti asleep huddled into each other on the couch with the tv off. And the reflection showed them with bleeding throats, Jack completely limp and Anti fritzting out, silently screaming and begging as he attempts to claw at himself and a darker than dark figure towering over him.
It only lasted half a second, but the sight of the figure towering over the two of them, struck a fear into Marvin he doesn’t think he’s experienced before.
.
.
Marvin doesn’t know how to react when he gets the call from Jackie that Jack’s in the hospital missing. But his stomach churns when he can see his reflection laughing at him out of the corner of his eye.
