Caged (Nightmare X OC)

Breaking Free

Dream POV

I listened to Prisontale's Sans explain what was going on. I didn't like what he had to say either. Dream knew Nightmare was affecting her, but to the point where she thought he'd actually be her FRIEND? That she was HELPING? That was concerning. I'd finally gotten a retrial for her too. I thanked Prison Sans, and rushed to stop this once and for all. I just had to break Sidney from Nightmare's influence. She'd thank me. I was there before long. "open it." I told the closest guard. They, of course, did so with no hesitation and I found her already asleep, her face contorted with fear. "don't worry, i'll help." I quietly promised, placing a hand on either temple, letting my magic cut of Nightmare's.

Nightmare POV

So he finally did something, but it's already to late. My eye glowed dangerously and my tentacles slammed into the door, denting it. I was strong enough now, to break their barrier, escape, kill them all. Not yet. Escape with the woman is first priority. I slammed into the cell door again, popping it off its hinges. I stepped out casually. Time to wreck some havoc. I tore apart the gate that kept others from me, killing or torturing all surrounding creatures, guards and prisoners alike. Oh the sweet sounds of agony. An alarm blared, red lights flashing as I followed the sickening feeling of Dream's positivity, where my future dark queen awaited me.

Dream POV

I pulled away, startled by the alarm and silence. The negativity was overwhelming. He was free. I looked at Sidney. And he was coming for her. She was still lost deep within the sleep magic, unable to wake. I'd have to defend her. I summoned my bow and nocked an arrow. Come if you dare, Nightmare, I won't let you kill her.

Nightmare POV

The silence was nice. I'm curious as to how many will survive my mental attacks? I am by no means going easy on them, after all. No doubt that foolish Dream is guarding Sidney now. He likely knows I'm coming. I doubt he knows my intentions with the human. My... plans for the future. All he knows is that murder is on my mind. My tentacles surged towards the open door of Sidney's cell, and towards the female, who still seemed to be asleep. The stinging pain of Dream's arrows shot through one of them, the others enveloping her and pulling her to me while he nocked another one of his arrows. I was already throwing her into the realm of nightmares for more power. Another arrow struck me as I dragged her out of her cell and to my side. Dream ran out of the cell after her. "nightmare!" He yelled, panicked as he nocked yet another arrow. I used her body to shield me so he wouldn't shoot. "i've won this game. the woman is my prize." With a laugh, I left Prisontale behind, returning to my dark castle.

I dumped Sidney onto my bed and forced her soul out. How unusual.. a soul shouldn't look like this. Human souls have one base trait, not two. The kindness center with preservance surrounding it... it was slightly intimidating for some reason. I should corrupt her soul now.. but I want to see the look on her face when it is devoured by the darkness. Here her scream as all that kindness and preservance is stripped from her and replaced by hatred and negativity. She will see the world the way I see it. Sick bastards that need to die or be reformed as slaves to my cause. I put her soul back for now. I'm looking forward to this though.
