The night fell and everyone went to bed. Dream laid in his bed, thinking about that weird figure he saw. It seemed like he had seen it before, but from where. It was from a long time ago.

His eyes fell and he started to dream. The dream was about a village that had murders in it. The murderers had only come out at night. They killed when no one expected it. The murderers had soon killed everyone and won something. A man in purple colors stood among them, telling the story along the way. Dream was among them as well.

Soon, Dream stood in an empty void. A man who looked like him, but older, stood staring at him. The man had on a white mask with a smile across it. He grinned staring and Dream. The blackness surrounded the man and took him away. Leaving Dream all along, in this empty void. Dream looked around, until a bright light came from the distance. It grew brighter and brighter. He could finally leave.

                                                        ---

Something fell on him, waking Dream up. Dream rubbed his eyes open and looked up, to see Draper above him. He looked angry. Dream rolled over on his side and grabbed the thing that fell on him. It was a book. On the book it said My Notebook. Was it Draper's?

"Get up." Draper said.

"I'm getting up." Dream said rolling out of bed, "Whose book is this?"

"I don't know. I found it here. It was right next to you."

"But I never wrote in any book."

"Just get out of my way."

Dream got up and walked out of the room, holding the book. He sat on the stairs and read it. The book told a story much like his dream. It was about murders and mystery. A signature was at the bottom that was signed by someone who he didn't know. The name said KJ. Who's KJ? Dream thought. He pushed the pages back and saw that the rest was empty. After that story, there were no more stories at all. But why?

Puffy came up behind and scared Dream. He dropped the book and whipped around to his mother, who was laughing. She put her fingers through his hair and walked away, towards the front of the ship. He smiled and went to go grab the book, but it was gone. It wasn't there at all. Where could it have gone? He searched around for the book, but couldn't find it anywhere.

"Have you seen and book that says My Notebook on it?" Dream asked around.

No one knew about this book or where it was. The kept looking, but couldn't find it anywhere. He got to the quarterdeck and leaned on the railing. Looking at waves that the ship created, Dream wondered about this person KJ. He didn't know who this person was, but he felt like he met him once before.

As he looked out at the ocean, that strange figure came back and stared at him. It followed behind the ship. Dream looked around to see if anyone was looking at this weird thing. No one noticed it. He looked back to see that it was gone. Was that thing trying to follow him or what? Did it want something?

He tried to forget about it and he went back to the Captains room, where his mother was writing in a book. Puffy looked up at him and smiled. The book she was writing in had a completely different style then the one that Draper had found. It couldn't have been hers.

"Did you need something Duckling?" Puffy asked Dream.

"No, I just came in here to get some rest." he told her, sitting down on the floor next to her desk.

"Rest? Didn't you just wake up?"

"Yeah, but Draper had woken me up."

She frowned. "You shouldn't be letting him control you. I'll have to talk to him if he keeps this stuff up."

"You don't have to mom. I was being lazy and besides I was in his way again."

"Again?"

"Mom, I-" Dream had realized what he had said.

"Duckling, has he always treated you like this?"

"No, he just...I..."

Puffy stood up and looked very angry. She was furious at the fact of how her crewmates had treated her son. Storming out of the room and left Dream there. He stood up and ran out of the room trying to stop his mom, but it was too late. Captain Puffy yelled for Draper and soon he came. Worry across his face.

"Yes ma'am?" Draper said scared.

"Is it true that you are ordering around my son and telling him off?" She said angrily.

"I..."

"If you ever treat my son like this again, you will be forced to walk the plank." Puffy pointed to the side of the ship, "If any of you treat my son horribly again, none of you will ever get your pay. And I know for a fact that no one else is willing to take you in. If I catch one of you telling Dream off, you will either be thrown off board or will be left at an island. Do you understand me?"

"Yes Captain." All the crewmates said in unison.

She stormed back into her room and slammed the door behind her, leaving Dream with the crewmates. They were all very angry at him, but they couldn't express their feelings since they would get yelled at again. Draper, however, stood there with his hands clenched looking at Dream. His eyes were filled with anger. You could tell he wanted to release it all onto Dream, but couldn't.

Draper walked away and went back to his duties, aboard the ship. Dream stood there and realized that everyone now hated him more then ever. What have I done? Dream thought.
