ADRIFT DREAMER: Inside of Nightmares

Chapter 5: THE FIGUER WITH WINGS

While getting out of his bed, he still remembered what happened in his last dream, like being hit by an invisible glass wall and falling through. He wanted to forget it, but he could not. He's mind was tired, he felt his head was about to explode.

"What to do..." Thought Jack.

"Every time I have does nightmares, I wake up tired, with my head hurting and feeling like throwing up. I wake up almost every single night because of those nightmares. Why do I keep having does types of dreams? Am I the problem? Jack thought to himself.

"All the things that is going on, my mom, preparing for middle school and now THIS..." Jack was distressed.

"I need to think about what is really happening inside my dreams, it might mean something." He went to the kitchen to eat breakfast. Time pass, it was afternoon already. Jack thought more and more about what he was experiencing with his dreams.

"So first thing first is that one, it's basically almost all the time when I'm dreaming that they appear." Jack thought to himself.

"Another thing, who are those things? The last time, one of the clown said something about that they are in control. What does that even mean?" Jack wondered as he started to fidget his hair.

"The best thing to do is just to try and relax every time I'm about to sleep." The day finished, and it was night, Jack was ready to sleep. He began to breathe slowly, breathing in and out. Likewise, he waited and waited, and he began to feel more tired. So tired that before he knew it, everything in his mind became black...

He opened his eyes; there was no one in his sight. He was on the streets. Not only that, but he felt familiarity from being there.
"I think I know this street." Jack thought to himself. Jack looked at the street sign.

"Pacific Ave, huh." Said Jack. Nevertheless, he felt something off. The locals, the buildings, everything was abandon and was covered with plants.

"Ok, this is a dream for sure, now what?" Jack thought. He did not have a plan. He doesn't what was about to happen next. He knew he need it to move from there before something bad happens. Therefore, Jack decided to look around, ready for anything.

"This... world? It's like the normal world, but different at the same time." He noticed the sky wasn't blue, it was a red, orange color. The clouds were purple.

"It looks like it's about to rain over there; I should probably stay away from that cloudy area." Thought Jack. As he was looking inside a local, he carefully and slowly looked around, looking for something useful he can use, but the local was mostly destroyed with rocks and dirt covering the local. But suddenly, he stopped. He felt a strong aura behind him. His tension grew. Likewise, he turned around

Slowly and out of nowhere, something came frying at him. He dodged it on time.

He turned back around and looked at the creature carefully, and said, "It's the bug from last time!" Said jack. Then two more came flying from the sky above the local.

"Shoot, what should I do now?" Wondered Jack.

He suddenly thought about using his feet. He thought of running away, but he knew he wouldn't get far. One suddenly came straight for jack. His body reacted and kicked the bug. It didn't do anything, but Jack realized what he did.

"What if I kick them using the same power I use to run superfast." Jack thought. He got into position; he put his right leg back. He breathed in and out. Furthermore, he concentrated on his body. He imagined the energy flowing inside him; he concentrated on all his energy going into his legs. He looked at his leg, and it was happening as he was imagining it. His veins were glowing white from his legs, with white particles floating around his legs.
