Part 13 is out and we finaly get to know who Megans uncle is! We also get more on her father so grab your snacks and have fun!

The green door opened and a man with dirty-blond hair opened the door. He looked stern and eyed Mateo carefully. "Hello, I am here for Megan." Mateo then said. He turned and went inside "Megan, your friend is here." he said and Megan came from around the corner. "Come, follow me. Thanks uncle." Mateo stepped inside, took off his shoes and followed Megan upstairs. "Your home is pretty similar to ours. How funny." Mateo said and laughed a little.

They went into Megan's room and she said "Take a seat." and got two pillows out from under her bed. They sat down and Megan began. "You said I can call or text you whenever I want to talk about something and I was thinking about what I should say..." she nervously laughed. "I want to talk about the nightmares again. Last time you helped me forget them for a moment and I remembered that they are just dreams." "I am glad I could help with that." Mateo smiled at her and she continued, 

"Tonight, the nightmare was a little different then normal. I was confused when you texted me about a man with a torn witch hat because I think I saw him in my dream tonight. It started like always, with my uncle and dad talking in the kitchen and continued like usual until I had to call help. This time someone came... It was the guy with the witch hat... He ran into the kitchen and then the door closed. When it opened again my father was gone, again. But the man was standing where he collapsed and my uncle had a knife, he was ready to fight him. To... To stab him..." she said with a trembling voice. 

"It's okay Megan. It's okay... Tell me, can you move freely in your dreams? Do you have control over what you do?" Mateo now asked her. "I can control it but no matter what I do I never get into the kitchen..." "So let me get that right, your father, your uncle and the witch hat guy are all there? How is your fathers name? It would make this a lot easier if I knew." he asked. "It is right, yes. My fathers name was James and my uncle's name is Royce. Isn't it strange how that guy was in both of our dreams?" "Yeah that is.. strange." Mateo replied to her and remembered how he was threatened by him at Pillows Peak. "Were Royce and James close to each other?" he asked her now. "They were, till this one day... till the moment in the kitchen... I don't understand it." she said with the same tremble in her voice as earlier. "After that I moved to my uncle and we never talked about this day again... It is like an unspoken rule to not talk about what happened there. But I don't want that. I wanna know what happened." "I assume if you would ask Royce about it he would get angry or something like that, right?" Mateo asked her just to make sure and she nicked. Mateo had an idea 

"Hmm... If we can dream of the same person at the same time, that we never saw before... Can't we just dream of each other and be in one place together? Maybe if that works I can help you get past the door?" He suggested to her but she quickly replied "I don't think that is how dreams work... " "You're probably right." he said and looked at his backpack. Z-Blob was in there and he was made from a dream. That is how dreams work and he knew it but he couldn't let her know about him. Or could he? She was an aware dreamer, like they were... But she was stuck in that stupid loop... He had to try it. 

"Megan... I wanted to show you something." he began but was cut off by Royce "Dinner is ready Megan." "Oh... already... You have to go now... Let us continue tomorrow. You can show it to me in school right?" She said and stood up. Mateo stood up too and they went downstairs, but before they left the room Mateo said "Please try it though... It can't hurt to try, right?" "I will." she said. "Goodbye, Mr." Mateo said to Royce and then left. He went down the stairs and onto the sidewalk. There he slightly opened his backpack and looked at Z-Blob. "I will tell her. I have to." Then he closed it again and put it on. 

The night was calm and peaceful, no Nightterrors and no Grimspawn. Mateo missed the time where he could just dream. He sat down at the next bus station, got out his phone and wrote a text to Cooper.

Mateo: Are you already asleep?

But after several minutes he didn't get any response, so he assumed that he was already on the landing. It was so quiet out here. "Let's go home buddy." he said and began walking down the street. 

He was walking for about 10 minutes when it suddenly started raining. "Awgh! Come on!" Mateo had no place to take cover and nothing to keep him dry, but still had to go half of the way home. "This is awful..." he said in a pissed and unmotivated voice. Mateo began running and held his backpack over his head to get at least a little bit of cover from the rain. Soon after he arrived at his home, all wet and soaked. He went inside and immediately left a trial of water behind him. All he wanted now was to get out of those wet, cold clothes and get to sleep. And that is exactly what he did.
