Chapter 88:Protection


If this is a song that I put in again I'm sorry, I just like it. Also, parts of this are based on stuff on the internet for these AUs. Like youtube, google, and wattpad stories for the AUs

One night in Nightmare's "nightmare"

I start to wander around, hearing voices talk to me. Of course they weren't saying anything nice. It starts out with insults and belittle me. Those do not bother me anymore. I'm used to it now. Plus, I found an escape. Whenever I think of my friends, they appear and the voices go silent. Usually they do. This time was different.

My friends in this one ran out of my sight. The voices start up again. I frown. It's different. It isn't insulting me. It's threatening my friends, using me as the weapon for the stupid threats.

"You're a danger to them. One wrong moveand it's dust everywhere."One says

"You'll hurt them at some point."Another says

"You're a walking weapon. Your tentacles can kill them. You're a threat disguised as an ally."A third says

"You're gonna crack and they're gonna pay the price."Another says

Hundreds or dozensof voices repeat things like this to me. It quickly gets on my nerves.

"No I will not! I am not! I will never hurt them!"I snap

"Well, you just did."The voices say

I look and see my tentacles had shot out, piercing six figures' chests and through their souls. One by one, they reveal themselves. Error, Dust, Cross, E!Pap, Dameon and Killer. They each slowly turn to Dust. Their souls break before I could do anything.

"Face it, you're a threat. It's only a matter of time. They're only the beginning."A voice says

All my friends appeared.

"Soon, everyone you see here will be this."The voice says

Then, in a blink, the bunch also turned to dust.

"NOOO!"I yell, waking up in the process

I sit up quickly, panting. I could feel my soul pounding. I see my tentacles are shooting out just like in the bad dream. If anyone was near me, they'd be dead in my sleep. I look at my hands and tremble. I am a threat. To them. Tears roll down my eyes. I take that bad dream as more than a silly thing my mind made up. It's a warning. I stop, shaking my head.

No.

It will not be this way.

They are my family, though just my friends. And I shall protect them at any cost. I will remove any threat that comes near them, even if that may be me. I think and try to figure something out. I need a place hardly accessible and far enough so nobody can get hurt from me. I quickly got an idea. I grab what I found as necessary, leaving my phone behind so nobody can track or try to reach me, wrote a note, left it on the bed and got the heck out of there. Everything seems wrong. But if I can keep them safe, maybe that one right will turn things around.

Killer the next morning

I smile as everyone happily talks to each other. I notice Nightmare isn't out here though, which is unusual. But my mind just thinks that he's sleeping in.I go to check on him in his room. I knock but get no answer. I open the door and peek inside. My soul dropped, as if forgetting that it has to beat. Nightmare isn't here.

"Guys!"I yell over my shoulder

"WhAt kIlLeR?"Error asks, coming over

"Nightmare is gone!"I reply

"What?!"voices shout

Shino, Radier, Dameon, Error, Dust and Cross come over.

"What do you mean he's gone?"Shino asks

"He is nowhere around here and he isn't in his room. But there's a note."I reply, then go to grab the note

I glance at it. It does not look like a note to taunt us like from Serram or Renew, and it wasn't wordy so it wasn't from E!Gaster. Kidnap didn't really seem like the case. It was in his handwriting too.

"What does it say?"Dameon asks

"Dear Whoever finds this,

Hello! If this is a nice kid like Shino reading, please hand it to someone else. I'm okay. If this is Killer reading, someone please take it from him before he panicks-"I read

Wait, what? How'd he know? Predicting as always.

"On it!"Cross cuts me off, taking the note

"Tell that I am safe and will be back soon. Though the truth is...sorry guys. Can't say anything besides that. I'm not breaking his trust or what he's threatening to do if anyone tells ya."He says, then runs off and tucking it in a pocket

Dust runs after him with Dameon.

Shino shakes her head. She looks at me.

"He isn't coming back, is he?"She says

I shake my head.

"No..."I say

"Well your friend Cross really has to be more careful with his pockets. SO easy to pickpocket."Radier says, then reads the letter quietly in his tentacle-like arm

After reading it, his eyes widen and he tears up the note.

"I knew that brother of his learned some new tricks. My bad feeling was right."He mutters

"What happened?"I ask

"Nightmare had his own....how do I say this to make this make sense...A bad dream. He is trying to isolate himself from us. For what he sees as our safety. But I know where he might be, come on."He says

"Oh the fandom may get him even more. Like @MicahJC4 or others may kill him."Shino says

"Wait! I will get someone who can help! My brother may know what he's going through!"Shino says

"WhIcH oNe?"Error asks

"Goth!"Shino says

"Oh heck ya! He'd know! At least that's what Palette says."Radier says

Everyone looks at him in confusion.

"Palette talks a lot."Radier says

They nod.

Shino runs off to find Goth and see if he could come help. Error takes me by the arm.

"He wiLl bE okAy, I aSsuRe yOu."Error says

I nod. I take him with me as Radier leads us to a door. Cross joins us. One I recognize. It's the same door I had "dreamt" of knocking and speaking to Nightmare through for so many days. Radier puts his hands on the door.

"I am not here, nor there, I am not somewhere or nowhere. I am between it, in the middle."He says

The doors creak open and he warns us of the dangers. Shino and Goth catch up before we go through.

"If Nightmare is really dealing with what I'm dealing with what she says, I want to help."Goth says

We smile and thank him. We set off. I cannot see him, so we searched, with no result. We decide to split up and search outside Radier's former home from home.

 And here's where the POV splits as well.

Killer POV continues

I walk through this empty space with Shino and Error. There are just edges of the space, almost like walls, around us. I see someone up ahead and try to recognize them. I then recognize him. It looks like Nightmare in his passive form. I smile, looking at Shino and Error. They nod and Shino insists that I run by giving an excited gesture for me to go ahead. I run ahead to him.

"Nightmare!"I cheer excitedly

He turns around and looks at me.

"Huh?"He asks

I run to him and slow when I got close. I place an arm on the wall behind him, blocking him from leaving.

"You scared me....again. Please, stop doing this to me."I say

"Y-You?"He stutters

"Yes. I care about you, Nightmare. I can help you. Keep you safe."I say, then lean in and kiss him

"So...The trick worked."He says

"What trick?"I ask

"Your friend knew that someone will come here for him eventually, so he left. But he initiated the safety protocol that Radier knew. It's where the Mid-Void makes copies of the iniator to get any intruders distracted. I'm just a copy from this protocol."He says

"Oooh....Ok."I say

"I think he went through that door."He says, pointing to a door

I nod and back away. I go to the door with my buds following.

"MAKE SURE TO TELL HIM WHAT YOU TOLD ME AND WHAT YOU WERE GONNA SAY WHEN YOU SEE HIM!"The copy shouts

"Okay!"I call back

"You can do it! You can do anything when you love someone the way you love him!"It says

I hear Error snicker. I feel my face burn.

"Um, thanks!"I say, then shut the door

Cross' POV

I go with Radier, Goth, and X!Chara of course. I think I see Nightmare up ahead. The others were checking doors that lined the empty walls. I go over to him and smile.

"Hey, buddy. There you are."I say

"Buddy?"He repeats

I nod.

"We were getting worried about you. Come on back with us, that bad dream of yours was not the truth. Besides, I know someone who'd love to see you."I say

"You do?"He asks

"Yep."I say

"Who?"He asks

"Well, his name starts with K and ends in iller."I say with a wink

"Killer?"He says

"Mhm."I reply

"You're all okay? He's ok?"He asks

"Yep."

"Oh, Nightmare would be so happy to hear that!"He exclaims

"Then why aren't you happy?"I ask

"Because I'm a clone for a protection protocol, not him."He says

"Ohhh."I say

"He went through one of these doors."He tells me

Radier chooses one and we follow him.

"Make sure those two get together please!"The clone calls

"Will do!"I say, going through the door

Wow, even a void ships 'em.

Match made in the multiverse.

Now, Nightmare's POV

I sneak down some hallways in my passive form. I try with all that I could to keep my head low, blend in. I do not want to turn to my hostile form, and I won't. A bell rings and the crowded hallway brought me to a gym. One of the coaches approach me.

"You new here? We have a slow registration system here."He says

I nod.

"What's your name?"He asks

"Emmm....Midnight."I say

"Ah! Well welcome to Monster High School! I'm Coach Error. Maybe I will go easy on you. Today."He says

"Okay."I say

He then goes to the other students. They look at me in awe.

"You got mercy from the head coach! Lucky!"One says

Coach Error blows his whistle before anything else could be said. He takes us outside. There, we all go on a track. He blows his whistle and everyone runs. I follow behind everyone, jogging in order to not run over the other students. Soon, I trailed behind them on the 3rd lap. I notice a hooded guy running ahead but subtly slowing down to fall into step beside me. I notice another guy, in a basketball jersey, doing the same on the other side of me. I can hear Coach Error yelling at us all.

"Come on! You guys call that running? Go!"He yells

The two dudes are running poorly on both sides of me now. One turns and throws a swinging punch at me. Fight or flight instincts engage. I chose flight, not wanting to make a scene. Not when school dissmissal is right after this. I duck down and let the other guy take the hit, causing him to get knocked to the ground.

"HEY! NO VIOLENCE OVER THERE! BOXING IS TOMORROW! WRESTLING IS FRIDAY!"Coach Error yells

I take off running and find myself far ahead of everyone shortly afterward. My soul pounds. That was close. Something tells me I have another case of bullies on my hands.

"SEE! NOW THAT IS WHAT YOU CALL RUNNING! GO MIDNiGHT!"Coach Error yells

I keep running, making sure to stay the heck away from those two. On the bright side, this is training me on running. I'm able to run faster and longer. Never know when that skill will be needed. I soon notice another guy running to catch up to me. I try to go faster but he still caught up to me. I look at him. He smiles beneath a hood.

"Hello...."I say

"HeY tHerE."The dude says

I quickly realize who it is.

"What are you doing here, Error?"I ask, shaking my head

"WoW, yOu cAuGht tHat fAst."He says

"Well, you were in my gang, dude. And you are my friend."I say

"I aM hErE t0 gEt y0u bAcK. We kNow abOuT yOUr bAd dReAm bUt dOn'T wAnT yOu t0 rIsK geTtIng hUrT t0 pRoTeCt uS."He says

"How long have you known me?"I ask

"EvEr sInCe I jOinEd tHe gAnG, whicH iS A lOng tIme."He replies

"Then you know it isn't gonna work. I'm not going and that's final."I tell him

There's silence. Thoughts fill my head that only motivate me to continue down this path. It's theright thing. No, it's the best thing. It keeps them safe and that is what counts. That is what matters.

"Come on, run! Run, run! How come the two newbies can outrun you guys? Come on! Pick up the pace!"Coach Error yells harshly, clapping in a way to say chop chop or hut two hut two!

"I thought you said you'll go easy on them."A voice says

I watch Coach Error glance at the bleachers. There sat an Ink in a professional teacher outfit with shades on his head. He holds a sketchbook in his hands unsurprisingly. I watch as Coach Error's entire attitude changed.

"Hi Inky.~ I said I'd try..Ooops."He says

"Hehe. It's okay, silly."the Ink says

"What are you doing here?"Coach asks him, leaning on the fence between the track and bleachers

"I just got out of a meeting and decided to come outside and see if I could sketch some perspective stuff."He replies

The two talk so casually. Coach now seemed so friendly and passive compared to how he was moments before.

"Hi Mr. Ink! See you in art!"Kids say

"I'll let you get back to work."Mr. Ink says

"R-Right. Ahem. Get back to running! All of you! And anyone taking his class better do their homework or it's another 5 laps!"Coach snaps

A bunch of them groan and start running again.

I chuckle.

"WhaT iS sO fUnNy?"Error asks

"That is so you, Error."I say

"WhAt? NO!"He snaps

"It really is. You're one way without Ink and a different way with him. One minute you're flames and desctruction, next minute you're sunshine and rainbows."I chuckle

"Oh ShUt uP."He says, though his face is awfully yellow

"You know I'm right."I say

He is quiet.

Class ends and we go to the locker rooms to change. And by that I mean the class split based on gender into the locker rooms and dragged me down with them. I simply snapped my fingers in empty aisle of gym lockers, making it look like I changed, when really I just swapped clothes with magic. I walk to the exit but a hand grabs me and yanks me back.

It was the bullies.

"So, you think you're great because you're fast?"One asks

I shake my head no.

"Well good, because you're nothing!"He snaps

"Ya, nothing for you to bother. So leave me alone."I say

"Oh! Someone dares to talk, eh? Let's see who's chatty after this!"He says, shoving me in a locker and slamming the door on me

I hear the click of the lock. I land on a pile of lost textbooks in this locker. I can't do anything in this form. Sure, I can turn to my hostile one, but that may bring too much attention to myself. And I may go too far and make the bad dream come true. I can't risk it.

So, I just sit and wait.

I shake my head and try to think. Then, I decide to check this locker for anything I can use. I look around and you know what I find?

A crobar hidden behind a coat.

Jeez, the things smuggled into schools these days.

I take the crobar and try to position it with the door properly.

It takes a few tries but I get it in position. I start to pull and push on it.

.

.

.

.

.

Slam!

The locker door cranks open. I smile and run out into the halls.

Freedom!

I walk down the halls, looking around and trying to get out of school, which was like trying to leave a maze. I find my way down to the first floor and get out the nearest exit. I smile. I look around. No sign of Error. Maybe he got the message and left. I stroll down the sidewalk.

But Error certainly didn't keep his mouth shut.

A hand grabs my wrist. I try to tear away but they had a strong grip. The hand pulls me back and I feel someone hug me. I can hear their soul beat.

"Let me go!"I snap, breaking away

"Nightmare, wait!"A voice says, the grip on my wrist tightening

I recognize it. I turn around. There stands Killer, holding me by the wrist.

"K-Killer? What are you doing here?"I ask

"I came for you. Please don't go. Nightmare, please. I don't wanna take any risks when it comes to you."He says

"What do you mean?"I ask

"Nightmare, I love you. Every time you leave, I fear I will lose you. I want to keep you safe. Give you protection. I want to protect you. I don't want to risk you getting hurt or worse and I won't be there to help. I can't risk that. So I am asking you, please, come back!"He explains, his face reddening and leaning closer

I feel my soul beat faster and my face warm. I look up at him.

"Y-You love m-m-me?"I ask

"Yeah. I just want to keep you safe."He says

I bow my head, thinking. I can't turn back. I can't go back. I can't risk anything.

"Please...Come back with me."He pleas

Memories hit me. The attack on the castle comes first. How wounded he was and how it seemed he wasn't gonna wake up. My sights prior to it with his soul seeming to break. Then what he said.

"They were looking for you and not for the good kind of reasons. We, well, I didn't want to get you involved and risk something bad happening to you."He said

Doesn't want anything bad to happen to me. They were looking for me. He got hurt because of me.

Then, I remember the attack on the cabin comes to mind. The attack was to get to me. He could've gotten hurt protecting me. Lastly, the most recent memory seals the deal. How he nearly died. How he took a hit and turned to dust, leaving his soul behind. That hit was meant to get me. I can tell. I nearly lost him. It's my fault. I won't lose him again.

I look up at him again.

"Killer....You've been put into danger because of me. I have nearly lost you twice, or once that you can recall. I want to keep you safe. I can't risk losing you again. So, that's why I'm not coming back. Now, I have to go since I doubt you and Error came alone. Killer....I.....I'm sorry."I tell him, leaning in closer

I kiss his cheek after saying that. I see his face redden and could feel my face burn. His grip on me loosens. I break away and run out of sight. I go back to the door I went through to come here and go through it. I go through another door quickly, not even checking to see where it goes.

I end up in a dark forest. It's the middle of the night here. Trees tower over me and I wander about, trying to figure out where I am. I hear footsteps soon. I sigh, thinking I was followed.

"Guys, I told you. I'm not going back."I say

"Bonjour Monsieur. Que fais-tu dans cette forêt?"A voice says

(Translation:Hello sir. What are you doing in this forest?)

I turn around and see a skeleton looking like Ink standing there, looking at me curiously.

"Huh?"I say, not knowing much French

"Oh pardon. Force d'habitude. My name is Encre. I said Hello sir. What are you doing in this forest?"He says

(Oh sorry. Force of habit.)

"Oh, alright. Nice to meet you. I am just trying to find a place to go. Why? Is there something wrong?"Iask

"This is a Vampire Forest."He replies

"Wait...Are you?"I ask, taking a step back

"No, but I know people."He tells me, showing his fang-less teeth as proof

"What are you doing in this forest?"I ask

"To find one of them."He says

I nod. But then I see something peeking out from a tree. A bow and arrow. Aiming at Encre.

"Look out!"I snap, shoving him out of the way

The arrow soars now at me but I grab it before it could hit me, turning to my hostile form without thinking.

"Stupid hunters!"Encre shouts

"Hunters?"I ask, looking at him

"Ya. Vampire hunters. They know I have....connections so they are trying to get me to get them. The whole love is a weakness tactic. Woah...."He explains, then glances at me

More arrows go flying to Encre but I grab and break them with my tentacles. Then, daggers are thrown. I break those too. I frown and fire tentacles at the hidden hunters peeking their weapons out of the trees. I grab them and toss them into the distance, making them fly as if they were a bunch of defeated Team Rockets from Pokemon.

I feel a tap on the shoulder and turn around, tentacles still swinging. It is just Encre. I realize that I almost lost control and shake my head. I turn back to my passive form.

"So...how long have you-?"He asks

"As long as I can remember, really."I say

"Does it hurt when you turn?"He asks

"Ya get used to it."I reply

"Thank....Thank you, Monsieur. For what you did."He says

"Anytime."I reply

Then, I feel a pain in me that just barely missed my chest. I look and see a dagger going through my back and out my shoulder. I look at Encre, shaking from pain. Encre takes me by the hand and quickly runs, taking me away. 

He takes me to a little town. There, he takes me to this house that is boarded up. He looks around. He sees three dudes loitering nearby.

"Hey!"Encre calls to them

They look over. I recognize two of them. Radier and Cross are two of the three. The third was some blacksmith-looking dude. I go behind Encre, keeping my head down.

"Have you fellows seen Azure?"Encre asks

Cross and Radier shake their heads.

"I'll go get him, what's up?"The blacksmith dude says

"He will know. Just go find him please."Encre says

The dude nods and runs off, dropping whatever he was making. Encre takes me inside. He places me on a bed and paces. Soon, some guard-like dude comes. I'm guessing that's Azure. He looks like Blue. They have a quick talk and then they take the dagger out of me. They bandage me up, Azure even putting a spare shoulder-pad for amour on me. For protection he says.

"I notice you hid behind me when I called to Rufus and those two dudes. Why is that?"Encre asks

"Those two dudes are some friends of mine....But I don't want to go with them."I say

"You're a runaway?"Azure asks

"Sorta ya."I say

"Is it because of...ya know?"Encre asks, hinting

I nod.

"Well then I'll make sure they go nowhere near you unless you wish. I'll keep an eye on them."Azure says, then leaves

"I suggest you change your clothes then. If you don't wanna be found, that is. RIght now with what you're wearing, you stand out like a sore thumb like them."Encre says

"Okay....How exactly do I blend in around here?"I ask

"I'll get you some clothes."Encre says

He leaves and returns, placing some clothes beside me.

"What's your name anyways?"He asks

"Em....Nightmare."I say

"Ooooo! That's a very nice name! It sounds magnifique! Like the night and moon! Nice to meet you, Nightmare!"He says happily

That was the first time anyone ever saw my name as something good when I first met them. I smile and thank him. He lets me change privately. I come out and he smiles.

"You look like your name!"He says

(Outfit made myself based on what Encre art shows Encre wearing)

"Emm, thanks. Sorry for delaying the search for your friend."I say

"No, no! You saved me! If you didn't I wouldn't have found my friend! Now that I think of it, maybe you're better with them than here. People can practically smell monsters. And I mean the kind that they send hunters after. Like vampires, werewolves, etc. Come on, let's go find that friend of mine."He says

I nod and follow him. We soon are back in the forest. We walk silently and cautiously. I keep a keen eye on the trees. We keep moving and soon Encre finds a hidden trail. We go down it to see where it goes, confident it leads to wherever his friend is. I hear a whoosh sound from the trees even though there is no wind. I glance and see a figure jumping from tree to tree. I grab a rock and aim. I toss it at them while they jumped to keep up with us. It hits them in the head and they fall to the ground, seeming knocked out. Encre doesn't notice and we keep moving. He is trying to protect me when really I'm the one protecting him as we wander in search of this friend of his.

Suddenly, he spots something that must've meant something because he stops in his tracks to look at it better. He hops up and down excitedly. He runs over to it with me quickly following him. It's some kind of cape. He picks it up and hugs it. He turns to me and smiles.

"We're close! He's close! This is his!"He says

"Couldn't that also mean something bad? Like he was taken or something?"I ask

"No! He drops this whenever he turns! Let's keep moving!"He insists

I shrug and nod. He knows more than me here. We keep moving. I notice he keeps a closer focus to the sky than where he is going. He keeps moving faster and faster, making it harder for me to keep up. 

"Wait up!"I tell him

"Oh sorry! I get excited easily."He says, slowing down

"I can tell."I say, shaking my head

Then, there's another woosh sound. Still no wind. Encre looks up, smiling. He tosses the cape up and it never comes down again. Is there an issue with gravity here? I look up. It's gone. I'm not kidding you. The cape isn't floating up there or something. It's gone.

Okay, what cartoon logic world did I enter? What next? He's gonna pull something out of nowhere or something? *sigh* Calm down Nightmare, it's just a new world. It's easy for things to seem strange. Come on.

"Let's keep going!"Encre says

I nod and follow him as he jogs ahead. That is, until someone places a hand on my wounded shoulder. I freeze and keep trying to tear away. But the hand tightens their grip making it hurt.

"Agh!"I call out in pain

"Stay away from Encre you. He is mine."A voice growls

"Dude! I'm just helping him get to his friend without hunters putting a dagger in him! Chill!"I snap, clawing at the hand

"Sure. And how do I know you're not a stupid hunter?"The voice asks in a hostile tone

"Nightmare? Nightmare, where are you? Nightmare!"Encre shouts, coming back

"Because I don't hunt! I am noteven from here!"I say

"Nightmare! Monsieur! Wait, Fallacy! Let him go!"Encre says, running over

"Why should I? He could be a hunter!"The voice says

"Because he isn't. He saved me from hunters while I was coming to find you."Encre says

I feel the hand on my shoulder ease its grip on me.

"Y-You were coming to find me?"The voice asks

I could hear how surprised the voice sounded. It also sounded like they were filled with joy but trying to stay serious or calm. They were failing though.

"Oui."Encre says

The hand removes itself from my shoulder.

"Also, he may be a loup-garou, mais une pieuvre au lieu du loup."He says

(werewolf, but an octopus instead of the wolf)

"Well, that's a new one. I've never heard of a pieuvre-garou. Interesting."He says

"That's a good term."Encre says

A hand grabs my arm and turns me around. I come face to face with Fallacy. He smiles, showing off one of his fangs.

"Heh, sorry for what I did then. Paronoia gets me. Thank you for keeping mon amour safe."He says

"Fallacy!"Encre snaps

"What?"He says

"Since when were you learning to speak French? Use those words?"Encre asks, his face a rainbow

"It's back....."Fallacy mutters

"What's back?"Encre asks

"Magnificent..."Fallacy mumbles

Encre gives this confused look. I smirk, seeing the love-struck gaze Fallacy gave Encre. Er, still is giving Encre. I pat him on the back with a smile.

"You got this, dude."I tell him

He looks at me, then realizes that I have caught on already. His face becomes a bright yellow. He shakes his head.

"Ahem. I learned it from a book in the library. I thought if you were gonna speak it, might as well know what you're saying. Nothing for you to worry about."He tells Encre

"Ah, okay."Encre says

"Now, how are you love?"Fallacy asks

"L-Love?"Encre repeats

"Yes, that is what I said."He says

"Good I'd say."Encre says

"Nice to hear. Now, let's go."Fallacy says

He grabs us both, two big vampire wings unfolding behind him. He takes off flying and bringing us with him. We land on some balcony and he lets us in. And who do I find in there?

Goth.

Frick. What's he doing here? Same as them?

Goth looks at me and smiles.

"Nightmare!"He cheers, coming over and hugging me

I hug him back as the two leave the room, Fallacy calling for Suave and bringing Encre along.

"We need to talk."He says

"What about?"I ask

"I know why you left and know how you feel."He replies

"How can that be?"I ask

"I've had similar nightma-er, bad dreams to yours. You had a bad dream of you hurting everyone or failing to defend people, right?"He says

I nod.

"Well, I can tell you that those dreams are just dreams....But telling those things aren't so easy. I know they seem so real and all that, but there are better ways to get through it than to run."He says

"How is that?"I ask

"You stay with the people you love. May seem strange but it works. You just gotta, from what I find, someone to rely on. Depend on. To trust. And open up to them. Let them know when you feel like this and if they are the right one to get close too, they'll likely comfort you and prove that dream wrong. They'll give you reason to believe in yourself and not the dream. They'll show you reasons that the dream is just a dream in their own way."He explains

I listen and ask questions. He smiles and explains it all. We speak for a while and I honestly feel better but with uncertainties. It does feel nice to talk to someone about this. To hear of other options.

"I'll go and let you think about it. I won't force you to make a choice. It's your life after all. But you know we're here for you and you don't need to run to give us protection. You aren't alone. Cya around."He says, leaving through a portal he summoned

I sit there and think. I can't decide on anything. My mind is all over the place, full of thoughts. Then I see Fallacy come in a few moments later. He smiles and gestures for me to come. I do not disobey. I follow him as he leads me up some stairs. At the top, there is a single door. He opens it.

"This will be your room. I had Suave fix it up. Rest, you seem to need it. Call if you need anything. Welcome, new friend. You can stay here. Encre told me about your situation."Fallacy says

"Thank you, Fallacy."I say

"Don't mention it."He says, then goes downstairs

I go in the room, the door shutting behind me. I look around it. It is pretty nice. It had a good view too. But I went into the bed and rested. I fall asleep, feeling all my wizzing thoughts or worries melt away to sleepiness and dreams. But Goth helped me out greatly, and he better know that.
