It was a VERY snowy day in the town of Eatonton which was Jillian's hometown which she was raised in. Sadly no one liked her for who she was, her disorders, mental and emotional problems. She had a BestFriend who was a guy named Alexander Giddens who always sticked by her side no matter what and always kept her smiling. Currently Jillian and Alex were walking in the snow covered park as some snowflakes fell on them like confetti, talking about what's been going on with each other over the winter break. Sadly she kept it a secret from her BestFriend that she was abused by her 'mother' for who she was and her 'mother' wanted her to be a proper woman who was emotionless. "Sooooooo. Hear we have to go back to the hell hole next week Firefly." Alex told his BestFriend using her nickname that matched her bipolar side, Jillian groaned in annoyance since she hated school with a passion since the bullies beat her up and no one but Alex bothered to help her "Damnit. It seams like yesterday that we just started Winter Break." She said as she picked a lightly snow covered flower from the ground and placed it behind her ear in her dyed hair. She loved nature and plants of everything about them, nothing could break that love. "Yep. Now we have to deal with Shakila and her slut hoe crew, and Coby and his dumbass jocks." He said mentioning their main bullies. Shakila SilverMen was the towns rich and famous girl, she could get away with anything cause she was Sooooo good at acting, while Coby Grammar was the schools most popular and attractive jock who led the football team making them win every season yet he was the biggest asshole there ever was.

Jillian was the least popular person in the whole school and Alex was a bit popular since he was known for his YouTube channel where he plays Minecraft videos. His popularity status went down a bit when he hanged out with her and became BestFriends with her but he gained it back with his AMAZING videos. Jillian wasn't the greatest games but she loved gaming with her heart as much as nature like music and art. Alex got a text from his dad making him groan in annoyance "Damnit. Dad wants me home. Want me to take you home?" He offered her making her heart stop. She did NOT want her BestFriend finding out that she was abused so she quickly covered it up "No thanks. I can walk myself home." She said cooly "Are you sure? The storm is gonna get real bad soon." He said motioning to the snow falling "I'm fine Alex. Besides, I'm fast as Sonic.EXE." She said making him give up "All right. See you tomorrow Firefly!" He said running to his Topkick that reminded her of IronHide from Transformers.

She let out a breath of relief as he drove off. He was a bit over protective since she had a VERY bad Bipolar Depression that made her cut once but she managed to stop when she saw Alex cry when he begged her to stop when he saw the scars. She started walking back to her house which was in the more wooded area of the county. She heard footsteps follow her making her look behind her to see nothing but the snow falling faster and the foot steps stop. She struged and continued walking only to hear a stomping like a stampede making her look behind her which made her heart drop to her toes and her pules dilate that you can't see them. Running at her from behind was Cerberus from the NiGHTS Journey of Dreams game with its 3 heads when you face him the last time was running at her with a dark look in his eyes and a hungry look on his faces. She booked it so fast you could see a streak of blues and blacks. She was NOT getting eaten by the hell hound Reala sent on NiGHTS. She kept running with all her might as her muscles screeched for her to stop like they were insane. She turned into an alleyway only to see it was a dead end. Her body not only shaked from fear, but from the cold also as her poor winter clothing her 'mother' supplied her with barely kept her warm. She curled up into ball on the snow still shaking knowing it was the end for her. Cerberus reached the girl ready to do what his boss told him to do, his three heads were about to rip the girl to shreds when Reala appeared in front of the girl making him back up "L-lord Reala. Why are you here?!" Cerberus asked Reala confused and scared a bit "The question is Cerberus, Why are you attacking her?!" Reala yelled in anger as his insanity started coming out making Cerberus back up a bit tripping a bit seeing his eyes change to a pitch black from his insanity "U-um. I got tired of the Nightopians so I saw this human from the Night Dimension and I though hey why not!" He said trying to cover up something, Reala was still pissed. He grabbed Cerberus by his collar tightly and quickly making him wimpier like he was an Earth World dog "Don't you EVER think about hurting her again. Or I'll be sure to make your torchering.... LETHAL!!!!!!!" He threatened/warned the hell hound making him more scared than before "Y-y-yes lord Reala." He said then ran off quickly to find a portal back to the Night Dimension.

Reala sighed looking at the girl seeing her shiver from the cold as her skin was turning blue making him very worried. He picked her up bridal style feeling she was more colder than a glacier in Arctic water as he saw her poor winter clothing. He sighed "Her 'mother' really must hate her if she's doing this to her." He said out loud still looking at the dyed haired girl. She snuggled into him feeling the warmth of him making him blush, he took off his cape and wrapped her with it to keep her warm. He saw that Alex wasn't far from here so he flew to her BestFriends house hoping he would help her. He finally arrived to the house where it was oddly shaped, Alex's side of the house was separated from the main house like his own house. He flew down to his front door and knocked on it. Alex was about to start his recording for his YouTube channel when he heard knocking on his door making him think it was Jillian. He opened the door to see the character of one of Jillian's favorite VideoGames she always talked about in front of him. "What the fuck?! Your supposed to be a VideoGame character not right here in front of me!" Alex swore confused out of his redhead mind "Look I know your confused but Jillian. She needs help." Reala said making Alex go wide eyed at the mention of his BestFriend "What the fuck is wrong with her?!" He yelled at the red and black Nightmaren.

Reala sighed then revalialed the girls face from his chest as she was a bit blue as his cape supplied a bit warmth. Alex got more wide eyes and was about to take his BestFriend from him when Reala let himself in "Have you ever heard that you need to be invited in first before entering?" Alex asked him as he closed the door and turned up the heat, Reala looked at him with an agitated look on his face "Look. I had to stop the damn hell mutt from ripping her to shreds when she was walking herself home and saved her from bleeding to death from her 'mothers' beating." Reala said after putting the girl on Alex's sofa already annoyed since he was frustrated today. Alex was silent since he didn't know his BestFriend was abused by her 'mother' yet alone her favorite character had to save her twice "I can't believe she didn't tell me any of this........." Alex said shocked "Well it's kinda hard to understand since we're supposed to be fake." Reala said sitting next to the girl stroking her dyed hair a bit "That and she never told me that her 'mother' abused her." Alex said taking a seat in the recliner next the sofa "I could've helped her with it." He continued "Believe me. Every time Wizeman abused Jackle I wanted to help Jackle out so bad yet I knew I didn't have the strength to do it." Reala said relating to him.

An hour passed and Alex had went to record his YouTube videos for the day while Reala kept an eye on Jillian. Her skin was back to its strange pale color. She started tossing and turning in her sleep as she was having a nightmare making Reala look at her worried a bit. He wanted to go into her dream to see what was wrong but he knew she would wake up on her own, but what ever Cerberus was hiding, someone wanted her to suffer. She started whimpering as her nightmare got worse and worse, Reala stroked her head which woke her up in a screech making him wince and Alex fall out of his desk chair since he still wasn't used to his BestFriends 'Banshee Screeching' at ALL. Jillian hugged her knees as tears from fear flooded from her gold like eyes, Reala shook his head and saw her tears, he pulled her into his lap, hugged her around her waist and started stroking her hair "Calm down Jillian, calm down it was just a bad dream." Reala whispered softly in her ear, she buried her face in his chest making him stiffen a bit, but soon relax "But it was so real. I felt like I couldn't do anything to save anyone......" She said sobbing in his chest. Reala thought for a moment at the last sentence she said 'Save who? What is she talking about?' Reala thought "What was it?" Reala asked needing answers "Well. I was in this some sort of forest that reminded me of Slender Forest from Slender and the 8 Pages game. I saw Alex hanging in the tree by his intestines making me 'banshee screech' and run the opistit way as blood flooded from his eyes and his mouth started moving. I ended up at the wall and saw a girl with strawberry blonde hair and my pale skin who was stabbed into the wall by her limbs and heart making me run again as blood came from her eyes and she started talking to me saying "Siren. Siren please help me sis." I ended up in the bathrooms where I saw a girl with light blue hair and my pale skin also as she was torn from limb to limb. She said the same thing the other girl said also as I started running. I ended up at the truck where I saw a girl with a dogs snout and claws in a lab coat, turtleneck, jeans, sneakers, and glasses had a branch stabbed through her stomach as she said the same thing again making me run again. I ended up back at the tree where Alex was gone but I saw you there on the ground laying there making me worried as hell, I turned you off your stomach and saw your heart and lugs were ripped out making me cry." Jillian explained her dream as tears glossed her gold like eyes saying the last part.

Reala was shocked how gruesome her dream was and shocked she cared about him that much. "I felt a breathing on the back of my head making me look only to see a flash as I was sliced in half as Wizeman killed me like the rest of you......." She finished then started sobbing more and buried her face back in Reala's chest "I feel like I could've done something to stop it from happening......" She said in between sobs. Reala sighed knowing this was gonna be hard, he laid back on the sofa on his back still holding Jillian in his chest as she sobbed. Jillian opened her eyes to see what position they were in making her blush rose "Ummmm. What are you doing Reala?" Jillian asked him confused "Just go to sleep. I'll make sure you don't get any nightmares." Reala said as his arms were still around the girls waist, Jillian giggled "You sound like an overprotective boyfriend for Z's sake." Jillian said after calming down her giggles. Reala blushed crimson as the Iydea of Courage which Jillian ignored as she snuggled into his chest "I like that........" She said the drifting off to sleep listening to his calming heartbeat, Reala blushed darker at what she said but shook it off. Thoughts ran through his head of how much she pulled his heart strings so much by just being herself 'How can I a villain fall in love?' Reala thought before he got comfortable on the sofa 'I guess villains can fall in love too. Even with blood thirsty killers.' He thought before he fell asleep still holding Jillian close to him not wanting to let go.

Alex finished his last video for the day and went to check on the two since he was w not worried about Jillian since she woke up 'banshee screaming'. He walked into his living room only to smile to see Jillian asleep on Reala's chest as Reala held her close around her waist as they both slept. He grabbed a blanket off his recliner and put it on the two since Jillian was still freezing. Alex then went off to his room to bed knowing his BestFriend would be fine.
