Nightmare backs away from his brother his shock, this wasn't his brother. He whimpers unsure of what to do other than back away. It stares at him with a grin, "what's wrong? Don't like me being your twin again?" Nightmare stutters as fear overwhelms his chest, "no... this wasn't... this wasn't supposed to happen!"

It huffs in frustration, "but didn't you want this? Dream to die and suffer?"

"No! He's my brother! I-I... I didn't mean what I said- I!" Nightmare cries out as he's grabbed by a tentacle, "what do you mean? Do you have any idea how words affect people?" He laughs, "well it's my turn... and unlike you... I will hurt you"

Nightmare cries in pain as his ribs start to crack from the pressure of being squeezed. "This will feel so good, they'll see why I was the better brother for real now." Nightmare sobs and struggles against him. He had to get out. He would go for his gang for sure. He wouldn't let that happen. He growls and he summons his old weapon. A staff, one end a point and the other holding a crescent moon sharpened on all ends. Something he had never used on another being. He raises it and slices himself free.

Dream hisses and backs off shocked by the sudden resistance. Nightmare falls to the ground with a thud and whimpers in pain. He pushes himself and looks at his brother one last time before turning tail and teleporting.

"...this will be interesting..."

Nightmare limps towards his home. Before stopping in front of it. They would kill him if he went in like this. He couldn't switch back. EVERYTHING WAS WRONG!!!

he just wanted to scream.

Someone... help me

He wipes his tears away before slowly walking to the door. He unlocks it and pushes it open.
