You didn't think teleporting would have had a bad effect on you, the sudden change of locations making your stomach turn in a way that makes you sick. And the feeling as if you were falling didn't help your situation.

You let out a quick shaky breath as you looked at your new surroundings, admiring the new elegantly decorated structure that gleamed with the reflection of the moon. You take a few breaths to calm your loud palpitating heart, gulping down your dinner. You're definitely not going to try to teleport again.

"Are you okay?" asks the god as he watches how much paler you looked than before "did the teleportation make you feel nauseous?"

"Y-yeah" you replied. You turn to face him, watching how his eyebrows furrowed at your answer, his face frowning.

"Am sorry" he says in a soft voice "I'll promise that if we have to use teleportation next time, I'll try to make it more bearable" He takes a few steps forward, almost wanting to extend his arms and hug you. His hearth aching knowing he made you feel this way

"Hey, don't worry about it" you said as you reassure him with a smile. You were just glad that he was finally talking back to you after practically ignoring you all day and acting his old self again.. The happy buzzing feeling inside coming back..

DreamXD smiles back, feeling relieved that you weren't as upset as he thought you'll be. It almost made him forget about why you both were inside the Royal Pavilion in the first place, to distracted admiring you and every little wrinkle your smile forms. It was almost as if he was stuck in a trance.

"We should probably get going" you said as you break the eye contact that you both have been holding for a few seconds, looking around as a way to avoid eye contact with the god. Warmth burning up your cheeks.

"Oh, right" The god says before clearing his throat. He let out a shaky breath as his eyes looked else were. The feeling of his cheek burning making him mumble a curse that he could hear.

You both started to plan out a plan of where to look around for the dreamon that lurked among the large structure, using a map from one of the 'take a map' stands that was in a side of the octagon shaped room. You have decided to look around in the left wing of the building while DreamXD took care of the right wing before meeting back.

"Make sure you're safe" the god says as he watches your figure blend in with the shadows of the night, waiting for a response back. But you were already far off ear shot to listen.

You roamed through the dark hallways as you listened for any movement, the sound of your breathing unsynchronized with the sound of your footsteps. You checked every room that you came across, noting every detail in hopes to find the parasite that taunted humanity. Some part of you hoped that you didn't come across with the dreamon, hoping that the god would take care of it for you, yet at the same time, you wanted to be the one to slay the beast and have the satisfaction of being able to do something besides running away and screaming for help. Which reminded you of the pin DreamXD gave you as a gift.

You quickly unclipped the pin of your hoodie, the star shaped object gleaming with the light of the moon. With a quick of a button, the pin turns into the scythe that perfectly fits in your hand. A wide smile painting your lips.

And so the journey to find the dreamon continues as you finish looking at all the rooms on the first floor, quickly making your way upstairs where more rooms inhabit the place before going back to meet up with DreamXD.

Upon entering a room that was blocked by a low fence, you couldn't help it but let out a violent shiver. You didn't know whether it was the icy cold atmosphere or the feeling of being watched, goosebumps ran up all over your body. You felt like an uncomfortable cat, hairs going up to show its distress. The lack of lighting does not help the uneasy feeling in the pits of your stomach.

The idea of splitting off to find the dreamon sounded good at first, your confidence skyrocketing when with your scythe on hand, but now that you were alone within the walls of many stories, you felt your confidence decreasing by the second. Maybe splitting up wasn't a great idea.

You let out a shaky breath as you enter another room of the many you have explored, squinting your eyes in hopes to see some purple particles dancing in the full moon's reflection through the windows. But the only thing you could see were the dust particles that inhibited the abandoned room.

You suddenly stop your tracks when you hear the sound of furniture moving, making your eyes widened and head move quickly around the room to find the source of the sound. Your grip tightening on the scythe rod as you ready yourself to swing it at any moment.

The silence was eerie, and the shadows formed by the moonlight looked as if they took the form of deformed monsters which didn't help the adrenaline rushing through your veins. The dreamon could be anywhere in this room, hiding within the shadows, and if you're not careful it could easily launch at you at any second, meeting your doom. Just that thought alone made the hairs on the back of your neck stand.

You didn't know how much time it passed since the screeching sound of furniture moving, making you believe that the dreamon must have left for another room and was making you look like a fool standing alone as you try to find it. This reminded you of how much you hated playing hide-and-seek, always hearing the laugh of your sister as she made fun from how foolish you looked trying to find her. The teasing and the mocking always making you feel embarrassed. But this time it wasn't your sister laughing at you, but a dreamon that is silently mocking you from afar.

And just as you were about to turn and leave the room, the feeling of something slimy and hot fell into your face, making you immediately look up to see the jaws of the dreamon dripping with drool as its sharp teeth were ready to snap your head off. The bastard was hanging from the ceiling all this time, and it was hungry for some human flesh.

You were quick to react as you moved out of the way from what would have been the end, the sound of its jaw shutting close making you tighten the hold of your scythe. And without thinking, you charged at it, swinging the scythe in all directions in hope to at least damage it enough where you can slain it. Unfortunately, the dreamon was quick, dodging your attempts with ease.

"Let me hit you, motherfucker!" you said as you swung the scythe at the dreamon only for it to move back. "Why won't you die!"

Frustration was quick to blind you as you tried to think of a way to take down the dreamon without having your head chopped off, the random swings of the scythe quick to tiring you out. Then an idea came to you, making you smirk as you were determined to finish the monster once and for all. You kept swinging the scythe, making the beast back up into a corner with no escape, each bold step you took wiping off the dreamons own confidence. And with one final swing and shriek, the dreamon was gone.

You couldn't believe it. You did it, You slain the dreamon all to yourself with no help. You didn't run away. You don't scream. You did it.

"I did it!" A smile was quick to appear as you let out laughed in disbelief. "I actually did it!" You let out a cheerful 'woo' as you silly danced to your victory. "Yeah! I ain't no pussy!"

Unfortunately your victory was short lived as an all too familiar chuckle brings you back to reality. You let out a quiet yelp as your face suddenly started to burn. Leaning against the door frame was none other than DreamXD as he watched you celebrate your victory with amusement.

Am back! Sorry for the long wait! I didn't mean to leave y'all hanging for so long. I promise I would try to get out chapters faster in the future :]

Remember that you are loved! <3
