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.

October 3rd, 2018
“You okay?”
“I’m fine Markus.” Liru sighs as she leans her cane against the table.
Markus looks a little concerned before taking a breath and nodding as he leans back in his seat before a waitress comes over with a couple glasses of water.
“I’ll be right with ya dears.” Before hurrying away.
“What about you?”
“Huh?”
“Are you okay?” Liru asks gently, looking concerned for him.
“Oh yeah, I’m fine just, haven’t been sleepin well these past few days.”
Liru Looks at him concerned, “Is it insomnia or…”
“No! No, no none of that just, boss has been an extra hard ass lately.” He tries to laugh off but Liru narrows her eyes.
“Either you tell Jackie or I will.” Short and sweet, she won't stand for one of her partners being treated like shit by a power tripping ego.
“Oh Liru c’mon-”
“Markus.” Her voice is stern but non aggressive.
Markus stops and stares at her before speaking again, “Only if you talk to one of us about the nightmares you’ve been having.”
Liru flushes deeply, embarrassed that she hadn’t been hiding them as well as she thought.
Markus sighs, “Look lets, just talk about it later. I’ll tell Jackie about Mr. Pierre later. Right now lets just enjoy ourselves hm?”
Liru relaxes considerably, she’s not, sure how to approach the subject of the nightmares contents, at least now she has some time. And Pierre’s stupid ass will be dealt with.
Before they can continue speaking the waitress comes back with a pen and a note pad. “Can I get anything started for you?”
Once everything is ordered they get back to talking.
“I know… I know it might be pointless but, Jack and… Anti’s birthday is in a week…”
Liru stiffens a bit and appears to hid behind the water she’s drinking.
“But I still wanna make something for them… you know?”
Liru relaxes considerably as she sets her glass down.
“Me too.”
Markus visibly relaxes as well.
“What were you thinkin?” He asks curiously.
“Well, for Jack I was thinking maybe a garland? And a couple of mini lightning bugs? And for… Anti, I wanted to make him another heart pillow, I found this really pretty yarn that's soft blue and green and it just, made me think of him…”
Markus hums in understanding, nodding a bit.
“What about you?” She asks, he looks confused before realizing what's she means and flushing a bit, embarrassed that he forgot. She just gives him a knowing but understanding smile.
“Oh uh, I was gonna make them hats…”
“What kind?”
“I was thinking of making a little devil horn bucket Jack hat and a frog bucket hat for Anti.”
Liru chuckles fondly her, mind a bit stuck on the idea of Jack in a devil horn hat. “He’d be bonking into people with his horns constantly.”
Markus chuckles, “Yeah…”
“Mmm, you’d think Anti would like, like frog mittens to go with the hat?” She asks quietly.
Markus hums and nod, “You know he would.” He tells her softly.
She hums a bit and instead chooses to finish her water.
Markus chuckles and finally takes a drink of his water.
“Jacques asked for an owl plushie to go with his peacock one.”
Markus grins a bit more, “That's freakin adorable.”
“Do you think like, light brown and blue will do?” She asks thoughtfully, “I wanna make it a bit like Henrik.”
“Brown?”
“I wanna say it feels almost sophisticated but that doesn’t feel right. It’s a comfy colour on him, like a nice couch.” She hums thoughtfully.
Markus chuckles at that, “Yeah, that does sound comforting.”
Markus grins widely as Liru perks up at the sight of their food coming.
They both thank the waitress before digging in.
.
“Yay, thank you!” Sammi squeals happily as Markus leaves the room, he chuckles but makes his way to the kids play room.
He hums as he collects the raggedy Anne’s in the blue dress and the one in the pink overalls for Oliva and Sammi, purple teddy bear made by Liru for Robbie and the pumpkin patchwork flamingo for Jamie.
He’s almost out of the room when he hears something drip onto the carpet, and he doesn’t know why but the dread begins to set in deep in his stomach.
He looks towards the sound, and it’s difficult to make out but he can see a dark liquid dripping from one of the square shelves.
He swallows at the sight of it and carefully lays the dolls down before carefully making his way over to the shelf, heart thumping in his throat.
His heart drops as he sees what looks like a small bloody dismembered hand. He feels like throwing up the sight, he can’t make anything else out other than it’s about the size of a toddlers.
“Hey what are you doing?” Someone whispers from behind him. Markus whips around and his heart jumps into his throat as he sees what looks like Henrik but something about him is completely off.
“Hey…” The person who looks like Henrik’s voice sounds like it’s underwater and Markus can’t find it in him to respond, or even move really. He’s too terrified and it feels like his heart is about to jump out of his chest.
“You weren’t supposed to find that.” His voice almost glitches and his heart falls to the floor but he still, can’t, fucking, MOVE.
Before Not Henrik reaches out to grab him as he approaches him and he blacks out as he hears what's undoubtedly Chase shouting something indiscernible.
