5 | a nightmare

hi guys. although it seems like the production is slowing dont worry cause now that ive published that msm crack story i can work more on this. speaking of that crack story please read it. https://www.wattpad.com/story/332086924-msm-crack-taken-seriously

also!!! ive changed my mind about monster pronouns. this story will be formatted differently from now on. although the monsters canonically have no biological sex, most of them probably would still like to use pronouns to express themselves. so we get pronoun changes!
the characters so far's pronouns are:
air: he/it
pompom: she/her

sorry for the cliche topic i just have had this idea for a little while. also im serious about those suggestions Please give me suggestions. I have 2 other chapters planned though. after that idk what to write.  

btw i made the nightmare vague on purpose so it can be whatever you want

alright sorry for that LONG ASS INTRO. lets go.

I awoke with a jolt. Everything was pitch black. I curled up closer to my body pillow that definitely had no character on it, afraid that whatever I'd seen just a few moments ago was still here. I shut my eyes tight. If I just stayed hidden...My conscious took control. What I'd seen was a nightmare, and staying in bed would just cause me to have another.
I couldn't stay here. I didn't want to see it again. I didn't want to see them again. I wanted to seek someone out and find comfort. But the whole castle was dark. It was so late, I could hear the crickets outside. I didn't want to keep my eyes open for too long. I didn't want to see something in the void.

As I stayed in bed, memories and visions of the nightmare started to appear hauntingly in my sight and mind. I rushed out of bed and to a lightswitch, fumbling to flick it on. The dim light was relieving, but my solitude wasn't. I ventured out into the hallway.
Thinking of who I could go to, my thoughts immediately circled on Air. He was kind enough to let me stay in his room for the rest of the night, or at least until I felt better. Trembling, I sprinted over to his room. Thankfully, it was pretty close by.

I opened its door, knowing he was likely asleep. As I stepped into the darkness , memories of how I awoke came back into my mind. Afraid, I came over and started frantically shaking him. Soon enough my shaking was interrupted by a short scream and a shimmering green glow. I thought I heard something mechanical, and my fear only heightened.
"Air, calm down! It's just me!" I spoke softly, my voice cracking under the stress. Air instantly stopped its defensive thrashing after hearing my panicked voice.

"YN...What...What's going on?" Air asked, disoriented. It still looked a bit defensive.
"I...I had a really bad nightmare..." Explaining caused my voice to heighten even more. I could feel myself start to tremble again.
"Oh, what happened?" I could hear the pity in Air's voice as he asked. I tried to explain, but it just caused me to break into tears. Taken off guard, Air immediately tried to comfort me, putting my quivering hands into his. "It's alright...Whatever happened, it won't happen again."
The shimmering of its eyes and electricity created a very dim glow, and I could vaguely make out Air's expression. To my surprise, he looked...Surprised? I guess I can't blame him. He'd never seen me like this before. He'd only ever known me as the silly smart caretaker I guess.

"Do you wanna sleep here for the night?" Air asked. Relieved, I said yes, thanking him. I slipped into its bed, already feeling my shaking limbs stabilize. I wrapped myself in its soft thick blanket, huddling close to him. He protectively covered me with a wing, shielding me from any danger that could come.
