Nightmare found himself in the strange dream again, however it wasn't exactly like he remembered. Nightmare couldn't breathe, feeling as if he was falling as heavy as a rock. Struggling, it felt like he was drowning. Trying his best to swim to the surface, Nightmare reached the top before blacking out, gasping for air. The place was flooded with darken water, perhaps blood again? Oil maybe? Nightmare wonders if he'll find Ennard here again like the previous times. Swimming through the water as best he could, there was nothing but the vast ocean of dark water. Nightmare didn't know the meaning of these dreams at all, sometimes it's de ja vu to him, but Ennard has always been there. No matter how strange the place has been to Nightmare, it was never this cryptic to him since Ennard arrived. After swimming around, nothing seems to be visible in the surface of the dark waters. Nightmare stopped to dive down wondering if there was any light there, a sign. What if Ennard was drowning as well. Nothing seems visible either, just darkness. Nightmare resurfaced to get a deep breath before diving down deeper in hopes to find Ennard, anything around, nothing. Nightmare turned back to get air but couldn't swim fast enough. The surface felt like it was getting further and further away from him as he swam up, his breathe beginning to slowly vanish as he tried going up. He was now feeling the fear of drowning to death, his vision was slowly fading. Just as Nightmare lost his breathe, he woke up gasping for air.
Hopeful that it was just a dream, a nightmare at that. Still gasping for air, trying to calm down, Nightmare looked over his shoulder at the bed. Ennard was gone again. Nightmare began looking around frantically for Ennard in the room. They weren't here. Nightmare got out of bed quickly and dashed out the door hatch, quietly looking around the living room for them. Where did Ennard go? Nightmare didn't want to panic at a moment like this, it's still night out and everyone was asleep. Nightmare's ears started picking up strange sounds coming from the back of the house. Nightmare headed over there, the noises sounded like vomiting. Nightmare opened the back door, Ennard was standing by the garage wall, puking out oil and blood outside. "ENNARD!" Nightmare yelled in shock, ran over to them. Nightmare did the best he could to help support Ennard for they continued to vomit. Ennard went down on their knees, as Nightmare had their arm around their back, reassuring them that he's there. The vomiting stopped after a while of them kneeling down on the ground. Feeling Nightmare's comfort made Ennard calm down, and their breathing more relaxed. Nightmare then helped Ennard up off the ground, "You okay?" Ennard nodded, trying to catch their breathe. The two slowly made their way back into the house through the back door. Going to the kitchen to get a paper towel and a glass of water. Nightmare looked over at Ennard as he handed them the stuff, they were shaking. Nightmare didn't want to ask, just stood watching Ennard drink the water and cleaning up. Ennard had no problem walking over to the sink to drop the glass cup, but then puked one last time in the sink. Nightmare hopes no one heard the commotion going on, walked over to Ennard's side, patting them on the back to help let it out. Ennard stopped and took a moment standing by the sink as Nightmare stood by them. The two of them stood by the sink for a while in case Ennard had to vomit again. Cleaning the vomit from the sink quickly, Nightmare helped them back up to their room, laying Ennard down in bed as he sat at the edge of it. Watching them breathe slowly, Nightmare didn't know what to do. "Are you sick?" Nightmare asked. Ennard nodded no in response. "Was it something you ate?" Ennard responded no. "Then... why were you puking just now?" Ennard took a while to respond for they were trying to catch their breathe.
"I'm... not. Use to this..."
"Use to what?" Ennard began to shy away from the question, turning over to avoid looking at them. Nightmare was surprised to see Ennard this way. "Ennard? What is it that's bugging you? If it was to force you to sleep, I'm sorry about that. I won't do it again."
"N-no..." This was strange, Nightmare didn't want to force Ennard into saying anything. So, he sat there in silence. "I'm scared." Nightmare heard the whisper then turned over to Ennard who curled up in the bed.
