[He's back]

[Late at night]

Everyone was fast asleep. Suddenly a weird ugly green sludge slides out of Hunter's ear falling on the floor. As is starts to move around the house it finds one of Collector's stuff animals. Slowly it enters the animals soft fur. The pupils turn bright green as it stands up and makes their way to Collector's room.

(Collector's POV)

"Mom?" I ask sitting up after hearing my door open. Looking around I don't see anything so I get up to look outside the door. Upon seeing nothing I drag myself back to bed. Pulling the covers over my head I'm met with glowing green eyes.

"Gah!" I gasp falling out of bed with the sheets tangled around me. The thing jumps down on top of me crawling over to sit on my chest. "Mr. Binds what are you doing?" I ask. "Hello Collector," the toy says. "Mo-," I try calling out before the thing covers my mouth.

"Shhh you wouldn't want to wake your, or mother, up," the thing says putting a fluffy paw on my mouth. "You sound familiar?" I question poking it launching it into the wall opposite of me. "Ow," it huffs sitting up. "Well I was going to warn you, but now," it says trailing off as it gets up heading to the door.

"Warn me about what?" I ask walking towards it. "About that Hunter boy," "What about Hunter?" I question getting worried. "Oh like how close his getting with your mother," it answers. "Haha that's not a funny joke," I say crossing my arms. "You are joking right?" I ask.

"No," the toy answer bluntly. "If you still don't believe me though why not find out yourself," it suggests walking out of the room into the darkness. "No one tells me what to do," I say heading back to bed.

After fixing the covers and getting comfy I still can't stop think of what Mr. Bonds said. Covering my eyes with my hands I cast a spell to go into Hunter's dream.

(In the ~dream~)

A pair of gold eyes pop up in the back ground taking in the view. It looked just like when Hunter was in the human world with Luz and the gang during the fall festival. Everyone was dressed up in costumes.

When I say everyone I mean everyone Luz, the gang, Mrs. Noceda, Eda, Lilith, King, Darius, Raine, the other coven heads, some of the students. Looking over the eyes land on you dressed as (whatever you want) and Hunter in his costume laughing.

Both holding a candy apple decorated to look like the poison apple in Snow White. No sign of Collector though. Seeing as the two of you were moving they gold eyes follow to the hay ride. Finishing both of your apples you throw them away landing them in a trash can.

"Haha didn't know the human world was this fun," you say laugh as the cart was being pulled. "Yeah it was scary at first," Hunter says scratching the back of his neck. "Oh you poor thing, but now I'll always be there to protect you," you say reaching over and hugging him causing the eyes to grow wide with shock.

"Glad to have you as my kid," you say. "Same here mom," Hunter says hugging you back. Once the ride stops you both hop of walking away. "Hey mom do you ever feel like you're forgetting something or someone?" Hunter asks looking at you. "Nope," you reply.

"No!" Collector yells bolting up right in bed with tears brimming his eyes. Rushed footsteps could be heard before you opened the door looking around in a panic to see what was wrong.

"Mom!" Collector yells rushing to you and cling on your legs like you were going to leave. "Hey hey it's okay you just had a bad dream," you say crunching down to hold the kid after seeing there was no danger.

"What's going on?" Hunter ask rubbing his eyes as he stands behind you to see what the scream was. "None of your business," Collector sneers. "Collector don't be mean," you warn picking him up before turning towards Hunter. "Nothings wrong just go back to bed sweetie," you say giving him a side hug.

"Yeah go," Collector says using his magic to turn him. "Collector enough," you warn again walking him to his bed. "Alright well good night," Hunter says before the door was closed forcefully in his face.

"Collector what is up with you?" You ask in a more angry tone. "Sorry," he mumbles. "Don't be apologizing to me mister say that to Hunter in the morning," you say setting him down in the bed. Not wanting to say what he actually did Collector just lies. 

"I had a bad dream where Belos was putting me back in the stone, and Hunter was helping him as the golden guard," he explains now realizing how scary that dream would be. "That does sound scary, but you can't be mean to Hunter over a dream, ok?" you ask.

"Yes mom," he sighs not wanting to look up. "Good now do you need anything else?" you ask standing up. "No, but thank you mommy," he says smiling up to you. "Alright good night," you say kissing his head before leaving.

"Watch out Hunter I won't let you will my mom's heart," Collector says hugging his stuff new before going back to sleep.

(sorry if you saw this posted earlier. I was trying to save it but accidentally clicked publish. Anyway, Belos is back, and the next two chapters are going to be more angsty. It will get happier I promise)
