*Nightmare Realm*

*Taeyong's Perspective*

I woke up next to him a third time. He looks so much like Ten but with that ugly scar twisting his mouth into a sneer.

I sat up and looked at my bloodstained hands. I went to look in the mirror, shocked by what I saw. I was covered in blood, the scar I got every night when I went here was too. I grimaced and wrinkled my nose.

Why am I dripping in blood? I don't even remember going to sleep last night! How could I be in my nightmares when I never went to sleep? It's not possible.

I dug throw my dresser drawers, the same as in the real world and pulled out a plain black t-shirt. I tugged it over my messy red hair and headed to the bathroom. I splashed water on my face and stared at the boy in the mirror. 

He stared back at me, a confused expression on both of our faces. I groaned and looked away. The scar was disturbing on so many levels. 

I carefully crept downstairs, trying not to wake him and entered the kitchen. I grabbed a knife from the drawer and went to stand by the room door. This was one of the most terribly planned ideas I had ever had but I just may work...

I waited patiently until I heard him wake up.

"Taeyong! My love where are you?" He drawled in a sing-song voice. I could imagine the hideous scar splitting open to form the words. I disgusted me.

I steadied my hand with the knife in it when I heard the door knob turn. He opened the door and gasped in shock as I threw him against the wall and put the knife to his neck. I held him down so he couldn't escape. 

"Why am I here? I never went to sleep last night! Tell me why!" I screamed in his face and jerked the knife closer to his exposed neck. "Tell me or I'll kill you!"

Nightmare Ten just smiled and chuckled, his scar stretching further than before. He held his arms up. 

"Kill me?"

The knife shook in my hand. "I will kill you." I said more surely, adjusting my stance.

"Well then I guess I'll die."

I didn't hesitate. I acted right away. But before the kitchen knife could rip through his soft flesh he spoke once more;

"And Ten will too."

I stopped completely, hearing the one word. "Ten?"

He put a finger on the knife and lowered it. He came closer to me, touching my chest, and embracing me. 

"You see my love if you kill me then your precious Daylight Ten will drop dead of the same cause. You see it's like your reflection; whatever you do, he does too."

 I dropped it and backed away. "Why am I here?" I wailed, trying as hard as I could to block Ten from my thoughts. "I never went to sleep last night."

He came forwards again and took my hand. He pulled me to the couch in the living room and sat me down. He curled up next to me and put his head on my thigh. I shoved him away. "Save the fake love and just tell me." 

Nightmare Ten laughed his unusual laugh again and smirked at me. "Your members are so worried for you."

My face had fallen probably because he giggled and clapped his hands together. "You were hit by a car!"

"I'M DEAD?!" I began to panic and scream. "NO NO NO NO NO; this can't be Heaven. Unless I'm in Hell!" I shook him. "I'm not in Hell right?!"

Nightmare Ten grinned. "You're not dead Taeyong. You're asleep, well in a coma, if you call that sleeping. But this is great news!" I opened my mouth in protest but he covered it and kept talking. "Now you and I can spend forever together. It sounds more like a gift than a curse, if you ask me. You should be grateful to get a few minutes to not worry about anyone but yourself. Just spend time with me and relax. Forget your worries and responsibilities."

I slapped him in the face, hard. I stood up and hit him in the head. "This is not a blessing! This is terrible news! I can't be stuck with you! I hate you! You're not Ten-"

"That's right I'm not Ten! I understand that much. See, I love you more than he ever will. He loves Yangyang, not you. They make out all the time while you and Jaehyun are fucking. It was never meant to be you and Ten. But," he pulled me closer. "It can be you and me."

I scowled for the millionth time that day. "I don't like you. I don't even have feelings for Jaehyun other than loving him as a friend. I only love Ten." I pointed at him. "And you will not touch me again. This is my house too right? I will stay here too. But the second you lay a finger on me I'll-"

"What? You'll kill me?" He cut my word.

A tear fell from my eye, even though I had been willing it not to. "No I won't kill you. Only because it would hurt Ten. If it didn't effect him you would have been dead an hour ago."

He nodded in agreement.

"Now," I continued with the fake confidence. "I'm going to my room. Don't follow me." I turned briskly and counted my breaths as I went up the stairs. I went into my room and unwillingly sat on our shared unmade bed. 

I got up to lock the door and decided to go to the restroom. I splashed water on my face, seriously considering drowning myself but thought against that. Instead I slid into the shower stall and cried. I was stuck in my own personal hell, trapped with a warped version of one I loved, away from the people I cared about.

I reached into my hoodie (which had been conveniently hanging in the closet) pocket and pulled out the contents. My phone, an old stick of gum, and my music box Ten got me for my birthday.

I picked it up and wound the spinner, setting it down again. The tiny people danced, not worrying about their world and the tinkling music surrounded me.

"I will come back to you Ten. I will find you again...........my love."

*Daylight Realm*

*Ten's Perspective*

I sat on the couch, feeling slightly sick. Something has felt off ever since the Dreamies has gone to do whatever the heck they were doing.

My head hurt like crazy, like some little people were inside pounding the sides of my skull with a hammer trying to get out. I put a cold cloth over my head and lay down. As soon as my head hit the pillow a sharp pain went though me.

I bounced back up immediately. Something was wrong. Someone was hurt.

"Taeyong."
