Reincarnated as Dream with Differences

♥ Chapter 4 - The Start of DreamTale ♥

Dream and Night was starting to worry, not because of the travellers building much closer than they expected. They both felt danger and greed in many of the travellers, but few like the librarian were safe for them and was neutral.

The travellers had gone from tents, slowly turning to huts then to outright houses. Dream and Night would watch their progress in the distance, always staying with their tree. These travellers also changed to villagers due to their village, which disturbed mother nature.

Dream was relaxed that the villagers had not bothered them since the first time. "Brother, do you wanna play?" Dream asked, to which Night backed down with.

"Sorry Dream, but we have to keep an eye on the tree.. We can't leave it here alone! The villagers might take all the apples for themselves." Night replies, the flower crown that Dream made fell of his head.

"Alright.." Dream tried to say in the most positive voice possible for me, which ended up as a tiny squeal of excitement. The flower crown that fell off Night's head withered away rather quickly, that made me feel a bit sad but Dream shook it off.

As the Guardian of Positivity, they are unable to show or feel any negative emotions, they don't know why or how that works but Dream knew it wasn't a balance. Dream may be one of the balancers of emotions, that does not mean they couldn't feel anything negative, that made it so Dream couldn't cry tears of sadness for a loss friend or something like that. But they were jealous of Night, he gets to feel positive emotions and it doesn't hurt him, he just doesn't like it too much because he is the Guardian of Negativity and he hates being weak infront of others.

For a long time in forever, Dream felt jealous for Night. There was sharp pain in his SOUL like a knife struck it across and slowly removed the knife. Night didn't seem to notice my pain but he must have made a twisted expression.

At the same time, Dream felt something was missing besides the unbearable pain in my SOUL, it was like this was never suppose to happen.

NIGHTMARE's POV

I stared at Dream, his aura was a mix of sadness and anger yet his eyes told nothing about it, just emotionless. "Dream?.. are you feeling okay?" I waved a hand infront of his face, he flinched.

"Huh?" Dream removed the hand infront of his face after he snapped back to the reality and faced me, his eyes still telling nothing. "Oh Night! Just thinking."

"And what is that something?" I questioned, but he seemed to ignore me and didn't make any eye contact with me anymore.

After a moment of silence, Dream left without goodbyes or anything similar to it, he just ran out of sight. "Huh, what's wrong with Dream today?.." I thought aloud, looking up at mother.

"Do you know what's wrong with my brother, mother?" I waited for a sign of response, none. Something is going to happen is what that means, silence equals bad.

Suddenly, a group of kids approached me. "Excuse me? Didn't we say to leave us alone-" I was about to stand up but I was kicked back down.

"You should die!" "Freak of nature!!" "Nobody cares about you!" They all chanted some more not-so-pretty sentences, such a uncaring and most popular of all, monster.

They began beating me up, but I didn't fight back so they could see that I was not the monster that many claimed I am, they were the monsters here.

"Please! S-stop!" I begged them, they didn't seem to listen. They never listen to me but Dream, I don't get why they favorite Dream but I felt anger for it anyways. Something told me I was wrong with my decisions, I was right..

I was left on the ground, whimpering and curling myself up like a ball. "It hurts.. Dream.. It hurts.." I mumbled out, seeing a yellow figure in the far distance although my vision is very blurry.

I was on the verge of passing out so I crawled to my only family member that was there to comfort me even if they were a tree, Mother aka The Tree of Feelings.

"Mother.." I trailed off, placing my fragile head on the base of her trunk as I felt her aura surrounding me like thick fog. "I need brother.. I want him.." I sobbed, Dream never came back for hours and it was already the next day.

Dream stood infront of me when I woke up, smiling as I smiled back at his figure. So far, I only got two broken bones and they were underneath my clothes. It was better than last time, the pain was numb for me because my body got used to the pain.

Dream just slept beside me, he was tired indeed. His walk was slumpy like he was about to fall any time.

Sighing, I looked up at the stars, wondering on why Dream was this tired and why I was beaten up by kids.

I couldn't kill the kids since Dream would notice, I could lie but I didn't have the guts to do it.

I looked at Dream, thinking of all possibilities on his weird mood or act. "No.. That is impossible.. But Dream is the Guardian of Positivity.."

Without even knowing it, I slept beside Dream because I was getting sleepy.
