Euphoria [Hiatus, Being Remade]

Dangerous? Out there…?
"Surely you live here alone, correct? Or do you possibly have a roommate?"  You asked again. You felt bad about constantly asking questions, but you were desperate to know why it was so dangerous. Heck, you couldn't even leave. Surely it's not too dangerous for you. "I guess you can say that I have a couple of roommates…" He responded silently, his attention now focused completely on the carpeted floor below you.

Yeah, Horror knows that you have been taking self defense classes when you were well and healthy, but his teammates hate humans with a burning passion. It's like an extreme fire that never dies out. And if Nightmare figures out he is hiding a human girl from his team, it would be considered breaking the most important rule. He growled in frustration, remembering the day Nightmare explained that rule at a team meeting he held one night before bed.
••••••••
"No betrayal is allowed here. I have chosen you all for a reason. For a special opportunity. I deserve at least some respect back. If you hear or even witness a sign of betrayal, you are ordered to tell me at once. If I catch you betraying this team, I will haunt you for all eternity with your deepest, darkest fears until you are crying buckets on the floor with no will to continue with your pitiful existence. Do you all understand me?"
••••••••

Does he care that he disobeyed Nightmare's rule of betrayal and all that jazz? Not at all. Anything to keep you safe. However, Horror didn't notice your intense, fiery stare, your entire being just itching to say something.

"Horror? Are you scared that your roommates might hurt me?"

Nothing but the sweet sound of silence.

"…Horror?"

"I'm not scared that they might hurt you, I'm scared about the fact that they WILL hurt you.. I'm sorry [Y/N], but that's just the way it is. You are not to leave this room. It's for your own safety"

Horror finally spoke up, his singular eye light peering into your [E/C] eyes sternly. You groaned in frustration, breaking eye contact with him. You didn't want to be treated like a small child, yet here you were, being told that you can't leave the room like you were on some type of punishment. You grabbed a strand of your [H/C] hair and twisted your fingers around it. It's something you would usually do when you're shy, nervous, or frustrated.

"You must be hungry. I will get you something to eat. I'll be right back. No leaving the ro-"

Horror was about to finish, but was cut off when you said "yeah yeah, I get it. 'Don't leave the room [Y/N] it's DaNgErOuS out there." You mimicked, trying to copy his voice, which failed horribly. Instead of getting offended, he released a quiet chuckle before disappearing out of your sight. You blinked in surprise. Jogging over to the bed, you tripped, falling back into the ocean of warmth, kicking the covers over your legs and trying to make yourself fall asleep as soon as possible.

Maybe it was just a dream. Right? It just has to be! Surely there are no such things as giant magical skeletons! Don't worry [Y/N], you'll be awake and out of this hell soon. It's all just a very weird dream you'll recover from soon.

God damnit!

You sat up quickly, making yourself very lightheaded. Throwing the blankets off of you in frustration, your enraged gaze flicks across the room. Surely, there has to be another way out… that's when you remembered that earlier, while investigating the room, you found a window! Yes! Maybe that window was your key to escape! But first, you needed to get rid of the largest obstacle here as of now, the magical skeleton himself: Horror. Hopefully it won't take too long, since he doesn't seem too bright in the head.. well, skull in this case. The large, gaping crack on his skull expresses that just enough for you. So now, all you have to do is sit and wait for him to get back.
