Starred nightmares

Chapter 9 (Books)

⚠️THIS FIRST PART OF THE CHAPTER CONTAINS SWEARING⚠️

|KoKoYo POV|

"Hey f_{k you what are you doing?" I watched him looking at what seemed to be code. "Stop calling me that." "But you told me to call you that." "No, I was telling you to f_{k off." He was a very nice person. "Oh. Your funny!" He sighed. "Just call me Glitched." I nodded repeatedly. He didn't seem very fond of my smiles. "Oki doki!" I went towards the glass of our prison and looked out. The room outside was blue. That was the color shirt my friend was wearing. I honestly like the color periwinkle but my friend is unique the way he is. "So watcha doing?" I turned around. "Trying to expand the blue around our room and trying to find a way to shut you the f_{k up." He liked to joke. "Your funny." He shook his head. Wonder what that means. "Just- go sit over there and leave me alone. Okay?" "Oki doki!" I skipped over to the place he was pointing and looked outside. It's been awhile since I was out of the prison. But I kind of deserve to be here.

|Elian POV|

I brushed the hair out of Marshy's face. She looked weak. Like her energy was draining. I saw Rose's hand was twitching a little so I went to go see why. Her hand was in a fist. I looked at her other hand. It was open and wasn't twitching. I opened her hand and inside was a folded note. I opened the note carefully. I was almost scared of what was written on the note.

Save Hayden.

I dropped the note and backed away from the note and Rose. That wasn't in there hand before but why was it in there hand now? Rose's hand stopped finally stopped twitching. The door opened. "Snow, thank Journey you ba-" "hello Elian. Why are you here?" I stopped walking towards the door and started backing away. "Octavia why are you here?" She giggled. If anything scared me it was her. She may be younger than me but she has been the creepiest demon in the world. "I wanted to come and retrieve Marshy. Considering you took her." I looked back at my sister sleeping on the couch. I looked back at Octavia.

"I swear to god if you hurt her I'm killing you"

|Gabe POV|

I brushed lilos mane from behind with a comb and gave her some head pats. Me and Stripes were being barbers today. "Have you seen Marshy recently?" I shook my head no. Stripes was looking out for me but that was only making things worse. Example, last night. My back and stomach was covered in blood and scratches. This time I don't remember what happened in my dream. I don't know if that was any better though. "So....uh, mama said we can go visit auntie flair and uncle flame tomorrow if you'd like." I smiled. I haven't seen them in years. Mostly because mom doesn't like that place... "yes yes yes!" We laughed and kept doing our toys hair before mama called us for bed

|Izzy's POV|

I tried to move my hands but something was keeping my hands together. The room was dark gray with black and white tiles on the ground. I've been here and the black room for eighteen years. I'm twenty eight now. I want out of here. All I can feel is evil. Everything goes black randomly and I don't like it. Speaking of black...everything just went black. But something was different this time. There was a small light. The black room is the only time I can move. But it's hard to see anything. I tried to follow the light and once I got to it I could see out of the evil. It was bright. I haven't seen sunlight in years. Wait...that's not the sun. That's....a white sky? I don't understand. The bright started to vanish. The evil was taking over again. I tried to keep the bright with me but the evil was to strong. It was taking away the bright. I wanted the bright to come back. Before I knew it it was gone. The bright comes every now and again but it's very rare. In all the years of going through this endless cycle it's only ever come to me two times. This being the third. I laid on the pitch black ground. During the time I'm here I try to get exercise but I wasn't feeling it today...

|Journey POV|

I brushed the dust off some old books. Jayden only allows me seven visits a year being I was banned from the kingdom by mother. So I spent my fourth visit of the year going to the kingdoms old library. My great great great great great great great GREAT grandma Kiona opens this library. Everyone says there's a curse and I honestly believe it. But the curse only happens if you take the books out of the library. Strange, right? Anyways, I took a book about demons out off of the shelf and began to read. "Hello sister. I was informed you were here!" Jayden came and sat next to me. "Hey Jay. I'm researching about demons like Olympia." "Why sister?" "Rose and Hayden were kidnapped..." she looked like she hadn't heard this news yet. But I believe she hasn't she has so much on her plate and Rose promised her she didn't need to check on them. "I hope you all find them." "I hope so to....but, why are you here? Aren't you really busy?" She nodded. "Yes, but I wanted to see my only sister" she smiled. I smiled back and then looked back down at my book. I would love to stay with my sister for as long as I can but mom set my timer to four hours. That time goes fast. "Your majesty, there's a emergency at the castle" my sister shot up. I looked up from my book. "What's going on Kyle?"

"The demons are invading"
