Sandman (Dream x Reader)

3

3 years has passed and young Y/N has been sneaking into the cellar each night to accompany Mr.Dream.

She would go early in the morning when her father was still in his room. She would go late at night when her father was caught up on papers.

And when her father was on a business trip somewhere far away, she would accompany Mr.Dream for the whole rest of fathers trip.

But that might have been a bad choice...

(Y/N pov)

Today I turn 10 years old, Alex had already turned 11 last month. It was quite eventful, we went horseback riding for his birthday. I had already told Dream about how his birthday went. I still wonder how my birthdays going to unfold.

Currently I was walking to my fathers study, I had worn my favorite outfit today, that being my poet shirt and one of Alex's black trousers. I had also worn a pair of boots that I had in my wardrobe.

As I walked to fathers office I couldn't help but hear whispers whenever I passed one of the maids or butlers. If I were to be honest, I would say that I was beginning to feel scared of what my father had in store for my birthday.

I had reached the door to father's study, hovering my closed fist over the wood of the door about to knock.

I had so many things running through my head, I didn't even notice that Mr.Sykes had already opened the door until a couples minutes after when he snapped his fingers in front of me.

"Y/N, are you alright?" Mr.Sykes had asked me as he gave me a worried and sorrowful look.

"A-ah no I'm alright Mr.Sykes, I just wanted to see what father had planned for my birthday." I responded back to him.

He had just sighed before moving to the side to let me walk into the study.

I saw father sitting in the couch with a tea cup in his hand, and across from him was a...a lady? She had been wearing a dark grey long dress and some brown tie up heels. It almost looked like my school uniform dress, just the heels didn't look like they made a lot of noise when you walked.

"Oh, did I interrupt something father?" I asked as I looked at him.

He only sighed and rubbed his temple.

"See Ms.Salvatore, she cross dresses as well, and she doesn't listen to a word I say. I tell her don't go into the cellar and yet she does." Father had said before sipping his tea.

I froze then and there, "had he known I have been going down to the cellar in the morning and night? What would happen to the man down there? And just who was this lady that he was talking to!" I thought to myself.

"Don't worry Mr.Burgess, we'll be able to help straighten her out. Would you like us to take her now?" The lady, known as Ms.Salvatore, asked father as she placed her cup of tea down onto the table.

"Oh please do." Was all father said.

"I'll have Ms.Y/N here pack her things then." The lady said as she turned towards me and motioned with her head to go.

I had froze there for a couple more seconds before going to my room and packing up three sets of clothes, including a few more pairs of undergarments.

Once I had gone back to fathers study with a suit case in tow. He had told me I was going to go on a trip across country.

Oh how I thought that was true...

He had sent me to a behavioral school for women, and children.

They treated me horribly there, I just hoped that I was going to be sent home the day after that day, but that never happened.
