12 - dream to a nightmare

~•~•~

We were running in a park.

"Tag!" I could recognize the voice of my boyfriend calling from behind me as he shoved my back harshly. "You're it, dumbass!"

I gasped as my body lurched forward, bare knees hitting the sharp stones before me. Why I ran to the rocks, I don't know, but I seemed to be regretting it as my wounds stung.

My boyfriend immediately rushed to my aid. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry," he muttered, hugging me tightly and pulling me up. He propped me up against a larger stone as he kneeled before me, inspecting my knees. "Are you okay? No you're not, I'm taking you to my dorm."

"Jasper, it's fine, really."

"No it's not, those scrapes look really bad. Plus, you landed on a bunch if rocks. That can't possibly be fine."

"Jasper—"

"No. I am taking you to my dorm and thats final."

"Jasp, c'mon."

"(N/n), with all due respect, what do you expect me to do as your dutiful boyfriend? Not help?"

I sighed in exasperation. "What I'm not gonna do is let you princess carry me around the campus. I can still walk."

He sighed back at me  "(N/n), mousie, you know I'm not listening to you. That could open up your wounds more."

He wrapped one arm behind my shoulders and the other behind my knees, picking me up easily. I yelped, thrashing around and trying to get him to stop, but he only looked at me with a smirk.

I slapped his arm. "Sly bunny."

He grinned back at me. "Dumb fox."

"I thought I was a mouse? Wait, did you just make a Zootopia reference?"

"Yes, my dear (Y/n), yes I did."

In my unconscious state, I realized that I discovered our previous names.

Why did mine stay the same?

I could feel the vision getting ready to end, so I braced myself for the familiar beeps.

Ba-dump. Ba-dump.

What was this? Where were the beeps?

Ba-dump. Ba-dump.

I looked down, finding that I now had a tangible (?) form in my dream state. This isn't what was supposed to happen. This never happened to me before.

And it scared the shit out of me.

I looked around, finding myself in an oddly familiar pitch black room with glitches in some spots.

My eyes widened. Oh, shit.

'We-elcome back, mousie.'

I turned around just in time to see a blade coming toward my face. Yelping, I quickly ducked from the throwing knife and rolled away as a familiar katana sank through the ground I was previously at.
