Nightmares belong in boxes

Chapter 4: You don't have a choice.

Author's note:  What would you call this a song chapter or something?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The woman chuckled to herself inside her new castle. "It's good to have this back." She held the book out in front of her. "They better have not mess up with my pages." She grumbled.

Luckily for her, everything was in order.

She let out a sigh of relief. "Oh, thank the stars and the moon above."

She turned to the cauldron she had set up in the middle of the room, the nightmare stone right behind it.

"Now, all I need is a way to get the meme guardian here." She hummed to herself for a minute. "I wonder, can I take a look through his mind?"

The woman snapped her fingers, and the stone began to play out Smg4's memories.

"Interesting." An evil smirk formed on her face. "I know what to do."

She added a few things to her cauldron, some of the items included a rose, two Nintendo 64 controllers, a creepy Luigi clipart, and most bizarrely, saltwater. The potion puffed up in a bright teal smoke. She took her ladle to sip some of it and now she was ready.

The crystal switched over to show the town of Blooperville.

Then, she began to sing.

"Days have past,

Nights have fall,

Darkness lurks threw it all."

While she was singing, she began to change the castle around her. Her powers stronger than ever.

"Anger burns,

Inside my heart,

And it yearns,

To tear apart."

The woman puffed Princess Peach into the room, except she was covered in shadows.

"I need you to be whole." The woman gently caressed the crystal. "All I need is your soul."

The woman snapped her fingers and Peach lifted her head and opened her eyes which glowed a dark purple. The princess walked out of the room, into her role.

The woman continued to sing.

"I'm afraid you don't have a choice,

I need you to hear my voice."

Shadows began to crawl around the citizens of Blooperville, her spell working.

"You don't have a choice,

I need you need to hear my voice.

Soon I'll be whole,

I all need-

Is your soul-"

The woman started to float, getting ready herself to set her trap for the meme guardian. Afterall, unlike the last one, he was alive.

"And you don't have a choice,

You have heard,

My voice."

The woman finished her song and begun to laugh, wickedly.
