Being the Traveler, literally (Date a Live x Destiny 2 fanfiction)

Chapter 14 - Old Nightmares Rouse Up

Y/N: "Y-You're not. . . Sara. . ."

Sara?: "Oh honey. . . I'm as real as your mind. ~"

Y/N looks at her former "girlfriend". Y/N's eyes died at the moment she found out who she was chasing. The sadness she stored, the long nights of crying being able to be seen through the windows that are her eyes.

I feel sick.

Sara?: "Look at you~ I could barely recognize you~~ You used to look so sad and pathetic, used to be a sad and lonely man. ~ You were so much fun to torment, watching you squirm and cry, begging for me to stop haunting you in your mind. ~"

Sara?: "Make it stop! Somebody make it stop! What more do you want from me?! Hehe~ What funny words to say Y/N~ Enough to make me laugh. ~"

Sara mocks Y/N, using her nightmares against her. Y/N could feel tears spilling out from underneath her eyes.

I feel sick I feel sick I feel sick.

Y/N: "S-Stop. . ."

Sara?: "Hmmm? Do you want me to stop? ~ I'm afraid I can't do that, You know what they say, you can't escape your nightmares, I'm always with you. But you don't acknowledge that, because you're a coward. A sad pathetic coward who knows only to forget. ~ I'll force you to remember. ~"

Sara circles Y/N, and red and black energy slightly echo from her body like an afterimage. Y/N could feel the sickness come in, she could feel the stress rising. She feels lightheaded and sick.

I feel sick I feel sick I feel sick I feel sick I feel sick I feel sick I feel sick.

Shido: "Y/N!!"

Yoshino: "Ms. Traveler!"

Tohka: "Y/N!"

Kurumi: "Traveler. . ."

Sara?: "What's this?~"

Coming up the rooftop, Shido, Tohka, Yoshino, and Kurumi reach Y/N. Their reactions are all the same, worried about Y/N and suspicious of Sara. Shido dawns his earpiece and sends in audio and visual live footage to the Franxinus to be seen by Kotori and Reine. Shido could instantly see the despair, immense sadness, and fear in Y/N's eyes. They eerily mimic what used to be his eyes. . .

Y/N: "N-No. . . . . ."

Y/N's voice is meager and meek at best, being drowned out by the bustling streets afar.

Tohka: "Who are you?! And what are you doing to Y/N!!"

Yoshinon: "YEAH!"

Sara?: ". . . And who are you supposed to be?"

Shido approaches Sara.

Shido: "We're her friends."

Silence fills the rooftop, and Sara glares at Shido. After a long agonizing minute, Sara begins to laugh.

Sara?: "Pffffft!!!
