After a couple minutes of falling, I fell on a bunch of crimson vines. I looked up and saw a familiar room. 

Wait... This is... 

I scrambled up and looked around. The vines were bumping and jostling for space in this crowded cave. There seemed to be no lava nor magma left, Only the crimson vines on the floor. I squinted around and hopped over vine after vine, Trying to look for Sam.

"Sam? Sam!" I kept calling. I scrambled over a particularly large one and got up. In front of me I saw the crimson egg in the distance. 

Wait...

I squinted and saw a figure in front of it. 

"Hey-! Hey!" I called. I began running over to them, Tripping over vines on my way over.

"Don't touch the-" I froze when I saw them gently patting the egg. They turned around at the sound of my voice.

"Oh- Hello!" They said cheerfully. They were a fully Black Demon with white eyes and mouth, Wearing a white complimented with grey hoodie with white pants and white shoes.

"Did you touch the egg? Who are you?" I asked. They smiled at me.

"I'm Badboyhalo- Bad for short. I'm a male and I'm part of the Eggpire. Nice to meet you!" He reached out his hand but I froze. Eggpire. I've heard that somewhere. I hesitantly took out my hand and gave him a handshake.

"What's an Eggpire?" I asked him. He looked confused.

"Its an empire that praises the egg, Of course!" He smiled and patted the egg, Brushing off extra crimson bits off it. I tilted my head.

"Why are you supporting it? Why am I here? Wait no- HOW am I here?" I asked.

"Whoa whoa one at a time!" He held his hands up in a surrender. I shuddered.

"Were supporting it because its amazing! Your here because you've stumbled upon this place in your dreams. The egg picks and chooses people to come here to worship it!" He said enthusiastically. I just shook my head in disbelief. I needed to find Sam and get out of here.

"Have you seen a creeper-like guy walk down here?" Bad tilted his head.

"Sure thing! He went that way." Bad pointed.

"Thank you- Nice meeting you!" I ran towards that direction and looked behind my shoulder to see Bad waving.

I ran and hopped over vines, Calling Sam's name over and over. Eventually I saw a figure looking around in confusion.

"Sam!" I stumbled up to him. He looked down at me. He looked to be okay.. But his irises were red.

"S-sam?" I stammered.

Sam lashed out a claw at me and struck me in the chest. I stumbled and fell backward. instead on falling on vines, I was caught by Bad. I began spiraling into the deep dark abyss again. Around and around everything went. I woke up to Sam shaking me. 

"Ponk! Ponk thank god your awake!" He whispered. My heart was going a million miles an hour and i was sweating.

"What- Happened?"  I asked. We were in a sitting position and Sam took his hands off of my shoulders, Breathing heavily. I immediately looked down at my shirt. Nothing was there... I looked inside it. I saw red scratch marks stretching across my chest.

Just like my dream.

"I-I just... I had a nightmare that's all..." I looked up at him with the most comforting smile i could muster. He didn't look convinced. But a minute later be broke into a grin.

"You were whispering my name over and over." I blushed. Hard. I flopped my head into the pillow while Sam laughed.

"Why's that?" He gently rubbed my back.

"No reason." I replied, Embarrassed. He grew quiet for a minute, Thinking.

"Was it a nightmare about an egg?" He asked. I snapped my head up.

"How did you know?" I asked sharply. Could he have known? Was it him in the dreams?

"Lucky guess?" He cupped a hand behind his neck.

"Are you okay though?" He asked. I nodded and laid back down. I drifted back to sleep and i didn't have dreams this time. Again.
