K, carry on to Nightmare School!
××××××××××××××××××××
Twenty-Three felt a swirl in her stomach, her mind pounding like a ten-ton elephant tap danced on her head. She felt tired, but in the same time alert.
You see, Twenty-Three got caught in another explosion in the school. Causing her, who was in Arts class with Mr. Joker, to pass out.
And here she was, concious, but couldn't open her eyes. Twenty-Three jolt when she heard footsteps, closing in on her.
When did my senses hightened? Twenty-Three wondered, then she felt the person shuffle closer to her.
"Time to wake up, Songbird," a man's voice echoed, making Twenty-Three shiver in fear. Suddenly, her eyes opened on their own, Twenty-Three mentally gasped, as she took in the world in front of her.
She was sitting on a swing, with was tied up on the ceiling of this very ginourmous tent, the tent had red and white stripes like those in the circus. Below the swing was a circle stage, no doubt for the other preformers.
What made Twenty-Three jolt was the man infront of her. The man was very tall and ginormous, he was wearing the clothes of a ringleader of a circus with a matching top hat with a gold design. Twenty-Three couldn't see his face, since it was being covered by his mask that was split in half, one grinning, one frowning.
She's awake!
Of course she's awake idiot! The Joker told her so!
Twenty-Three forced a scream, yet it didn't come out, so it only gave her a horrified expression. On the left and right of the Joker was two puppets, the left one frowning and the right one grinning.
On their chests were their names, the left on Sa, and the right one Hapi.
"Now, Hapi, Sa. You made Songbird scared again," The Joker chided and the two puppets floated around. Hapi jumped as a voice echoed around the room, I just love seeing our precious Songbird! I love seeing her eyes! Her unique eyes!
Well guess what? No one cares! Sa retorted with the same non-exsistent voice.
Twenty-Three gripped on the swing, since birth she was scared of puppets, jack-in-the-boxes, and dolls. It seemed rather funny for others, but for her it wasn't, she felt like those manical smiles in their faces hide their evil intentions as they glare at you while you sleep.
But that's just Twenty-Three crazy talking... Except it would be possible in this nightmare-ish world.
Nightmare?... Oh my go- Twenty-Three gulped, she had nightmares of a world, where she was a captive. Her captor took her for her voice, which was captivating and melodic. He changed her name into Songbird, placed her in a puppet's body so he could control her, and made most of her life like hell.
Twenty-Three wanted to escape in the nightmare, and she did, but along the way, she killed not one, but two bad guys; the Nanny and the Joker, then she also set the Circus on fire.
I'm in my own nightmare, Twenty-Three shivered, she wanted to move, to talk, to do something, yet she couldn't. The Joker controls her, not until he says so, Twenty-Three will never move.
"Songbird, stand up. Breakfast is ready," he said and suddenly Twenty-Three stood up. The Joker chuckled, "Silly me, how can you eat when you're sill in your trance?" He questioned out loud and waved his hand, suddenly the heavy feeling left Twenty-Three, "There, Nan will feed you now. Now don't go wandering, or else," The Joker warned.
Twenty-Three nodded, "O-okay, Joker," she squeaked, which sounded like she didn't use her voice since ever.
The Joker smiled, "Mhm, go eat," he said and turned, heading to his office. Hapi and Sa followed behind him.
Twenty-Three looked around the swing she was on, the she saw the other side of the tent open up, revealing a hunched back old lady. She had warty drooping skin, gray thinning hair, and a black coat that covered her whole body.
The Nanny walked closer to a crane and pulled it down, making the swing decend. Twenty-Three gripped on until it reached the ground.
"Hurry up Songbird, we don't got all day," the Nanny said and Twenty-Three nodded, as she stood up and followed the old woman.
==================
I got to think of a way to escape, Twenty-Three thought as she munched on her food. The Nanny made her take a bath before she ate and gave her fresh clothes. Which was a mint-green cloak like the hoodie she owned, a white chiffon dress with embroidered flowers on the knee-high skirt, and a nice star clip on her hair.
Twenty-Three digged the new get up, but she knew if she didn't think of anything fast she would be back into a puppet like state until there would be a show.
Twenty-Three heard a door open and she looked around, she saw a door she didn't saw before slowly open, reavealing a familiar person.
Her mouth went agape, "Mono?!"
Mono looked around, he was wearing his signature trenchcoat, paper bag, pants... But he was barefoot.
"Twenty-Three?!" He exclaimed as he went closer to her, "Nice get up," he noticed and Twenty-Three rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah. Seemed you didn't change," she muttered.
"Songbird! Who are you talking to?!" The Nanny called from where she was, which was in another room fixing Twenty-Three's clothes.
Twenty-Three gulped, "Obviously no one, Nan! I'm talking to my imaginary best friend!" She called.
"Okay," The Nanny said and continued her cleaning.
"Wow, imaginary best friend, not suspicous at all," Mono whispered, and Twent-Three rolled her eyes, "Shut up."
"How did you got here anyways?" Twenty-Three whispered. Mono looked at the door he came from, "Well, I woke up in this room, which was connected to The Sadistic Teacher's classroom."
"The Sadistic Teacher?"
"Ms. Gloria's nightmare counterpart."
"But isn't Ms. Gloria a nightmare already?"
"Haha, true, true," Mono laughed silently, "But anyways, I went inside that room to see the Sadistic Teacher looking over puppet like kids."
"Oh great, more puppets," Twenty-Three shivered.
Mono looked at Twenty-Three with confusion, "What?"
Twenty-Three shook her head, "Nothing, carry on to what you were talking about."
Mono nodded, "Sure. Anyways, the Sadistic Teacher noticed me, but she mumbled it's not yet the time. So she grabbed and tossed me out of the room to go into this big hallway that looked like the ones at school."
"Speaking of school, what happened?" Twenty-Three wondered.
Mono shrugged, "Before the explosions, I was heading to Ms. Gloria's classroom since she told me she wants to discuss something with me. Then an eplosion happened and-," Mono's face went slack in shock under the bag then he snapped his fingers, "That's it!"
Twenty-Three tilted her head to the side, "What's it?"
"The explosion. Whatever happened, we are still in the school. When I passed out, I was inside a room connected to the Sadistic Teacher's classtoom, and I believe that this room you're in is the Art's Classroom!"
Twenty-Three's face went slack in disbelief too, "No way. So wait, the door that I couldn't see... That was the door heading to the hallway?"
Mono looked at the door he went into, "Well, yeah. But I thought I was in a different kind of school, like the one in my nightmares."
Twenty-Three sighed, "Well this world is also like my-"
"Songbird? Who's this boy?"
The two jumped and looked to see the Nanny towering over the two while glaring at them with her drooping eyes.
"Uh... Run!" Twenty-Three said as she gripped on Mono's hand and dashed to the invisible door.
"JOKER! SONGBIRD IS ESCAPING!" The Nanny roared as she chased after them.
"wHAT?! NAN CATCH HER!" The Joker yelled far away.
Mono and Twenty-Three went in the door as Twenty-Three turned back to face the Nanny, giving her the best rasberry blow she could ever muster, "See ya!" She smirked as she slammed the door shut. Mono jumped and locked the handle before the Nanny opens it.
Mono looked at Twenty-Three, "Songbird? What's that supposed to mean?"
Twenty-Three shuffled her feet uncomfortably, "Well... We were talking about nightmares right? I should tell you about mine..."
==================
The two went to a safe spot and Mono stared at Twenty-Three, "Spill," he said and Twenty-Three nodded.
She told about her nightmare so vividly that made her shaken up.
"In the nightmare, I'm just a normal kid happily living with my mother, until an evil man - who is called the Joker - kidnapped me since he heard my voice, which for his veiw was melodic and entrancing.
He took me to his Circus and changed my name into Songbird, since my voice could be compared to the said bird. He made me sing, just so he can get rich, since he said my voice takes 'people off their feet'.
But I didn't want any of it, I wanted to go back home, go back to my mother.
So I tried to escape, and when I was near escaping, he caught me and turned me into a half-doll; My body was like a doll's, which he can control and make me do anything just as he ordered, but I had my senses and my soul, since if he made me into a full doll, I wouldn't have the voice that he took me in the first place.
But somehow, I manage to break the curse and escape, killing the Nanny, the Joker, and setting the Circus on fire. Then I ran away from that place as fast as I could," Twenty-Three said as she hugged her frame, frowning at the nightmare that was like a memory that didn't happen.
Mono looked at her and frowned, "Well, that's upsetting. But... How about the curse? You escaped it in your nightmare, but what about now?"
Twenty-Three shook her head, "I think it's still there, lingering around my head. Even in my nightmares, I didn't completely escape it."
Then Twenty-Three straightened herself, "Anyways! How about you? If we can understand each others nightmares, then we can escape this place."
Mono shifted, "Uh, okay. If you say so..."
"In my nightmare, I was in a City that is being controlled by a broadcaster," Mono said, and Twenty-Three tilted her head, "Broadcaster?"
Mono nodded, "He can control them with the T.V.s all around the City. Making them hypnotized and there was a specific order to kill me."
"Oh wow, you have a bounty on your head?" Twenty-Three wondered.
Mono rolled his eyes, "I think so, since they want to kill me. Anyways, I ran and went into the City's school, which wasn't the best idea ever. I got in trouble with the Sadistic Teacher who also wants me dead, all the students were puppets and she could control them to kill me."
Twenty-Three shivered, "I hate puppets."
Mono tilted his head, "Why do you seem to hate puppets with a passion?"
Twenty-Three glared at him, then sighed, "Just don't laugh... I'm scared of dolls, puppets, and the like."
Mono's eyes widened, "And you were facing a nightmare that you were the doll?"
"I know, kinda messed up right? Anyways, carry on to what you were saying," Twenty-Three said.
"So I can't watch Annabelle with you huh? The Conjuring?"
"Just. Continue. To what. You were. Saying," Twenty-Three said in gritted teeth as Mono saw her bangs swept aside, revealing her lavender eyes glaring at him.
Mono gulped, "Okay, anyways, I escaped that school, then I went to the forest to find out that there was also another guy after me; The Hunter."
Twenty-Three nodded, "And I take that the our world alter would be Coach Hunter."
Mono shrugged, "Maybe."
"So you were a fugitive of the City in the nightmare huh?" Twenty-Three said and Mono nodded, "In a nutshell, yeah."
Twenty-Three stood up, "Well! Let's go figure out how to go home. Cause frankly, I just wanna stay home and cuddle up stuffy toys."
Mono raised an eyebrow as he also stood up, "I thought you hate dolls."
"Animal dolls are an exception, Mono. Dolls like the Barbie dolls and human-like puppets, that could give me a fear coma."
"Ahuh."
"Shaddap."

So bingoho! They found out not liek the other two who still thought they are in a different world entirely!
Okay, that's not all, but Imma do a pattern that next chapter would be about Six and Seven, then the next chapter of that next chapter would be about Twenty-Three and Mono, and the cycle goes on.
Until, they meet each other.
And they will not meet each other until Sevix is canon because this was the whole idea of my story.
If Sevix ain't gonna happen, I'mma stab myself while I change the title of the fanfic.
SEVIX FOR LIFEEEEEEE!!!!
Mumu: Cut. It. Out!
Wattpad: Publish Finished.
