Dream Journal

Chapter 1

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Let me clarify a change I made in the first book. The school envy started in in the first book, that and where he lived, all that was encompassed by a giant mile squared pyramidal dome. They completed the four quests outside the dome. That should be all you need to know to make sense of this.

Enjoy

Chapter One

Sweat was pouring down my face, the heart in my chest was pounding, and my entire body was shaking to the core. I roll onto my side on the solid, cement floor and look at the surrounding cement walls. Alright, good, it was just another nightmare.

For the past year, since I shot Christina, I've been having different nightmares than I used to have. Not only do I die in all of them, but I also murder the love of my life. Each and every Wednesday night I'm reminded of what a terrible person I am.

At the beginning of The Four Quests, before they even started, my bus driver, Bob Cob, gave me a calculator and told me to keep it. I'm not sure why I did, but I kept it. Little did I know that the calculator was an advanced piece of technology that would help me along the way.

Christina wanted to get rid of it, but I ignored her and kept it. Why should I get rid of it when it's helping me finish the quests? I'd be an idiot to get rid of it, I had thought. Well, she was right. I should've gotten rid of it.

Turns out that the technology of the calculator was flawed, and the person using it slowly goes evil. All I wanted to do was kill. Then, I blacked out and forgot everything, resulting in me going completely suicidal. I should've listened to my girlfriend and discarded the calculator.

Because I didn't listen to her, The Principal and Teachers grew very pissed off I was using the calculator to cheat the quests. The first time they got mad, they decided to do nothing. They were anticipating me killing Christina and then killing myself since they get their power from watching people die, or something like that; I'm still not sure how exactly everything works.

Well, when neither of those two things happened, they were extremely agitated and decided to use their werewolf to kill us, since they are unable to kill humans themselves. Right before it killed us, Bob Cob came in and offered that instead of killing us they should give me the ultimatum of choosing between killing my love and becoming one of them, or keeping her alive and going back and finishing the last quest.

He had previously told me that if I was pretending to still be under the control of the calculator, even though he already destroyed it and I was completely sane, then The Principal and Teachers would accept the ultimatum. I was told they like creative type deaths over just letting the werewolf innocently murder because apparently they get more power. Plus, they would be interested, unsure of what I would choose.

What he also told me was that if chose to let her die and the werewolf killed her she would never be able to come back to life, but if I killed her myself he would, at a later time, use his calculator to bring her back to life.

I told him I wanted to choose to save her and go back and finish the quests, but he told me the quests were just a setup. No one ever survived them, they always died. So if I wanted to save Christina and myself, I would have to kill her and become one of whatever The Principal and Teachers were.

I haven't seen him since... Bob Cob has been nowhere near me for a year now. To make matters worse, I was not given the option of becoming one of what he is.

I was an idiot to listen to him. I can't trust a word he's told me. Bob Cob is a selfish liar. I thought he was somehow secretly on my side, but he's just like The Principal and Teachers. He tricked me into killing the love of my life so that he could gain more of whatever power he possessed.
