'What is that sound ? Dripping water ?. What is that indescribable whispering? Who was speaking to whom?.

Denki opens his golden eyes. To nothing but darkness and a greyish fog surrounded him.

Where was he?.

This was not UA? He looked around trying to make sense of his surroundings. And begins walking on the cold wet grass and shivers as the wet grass makes a squelch sound with each step he takes.

He comes across a lake which was crystal clear.

Denki  could see his tired reflection staring right back at him.

Denki moves his head around trying to figure out where he was.

Then his eyes fall on a distorted hooded figure floating on the clear lake. With its back turned to him.

Denki shouts at the hooded figure, "Um where am I..um mister?.

Then he hears the piercing wind blowing past him and the indescribable whispers get louder and his surroundings start to feel more chilly.

Denki rubs his sides to warm himself up.
What was happening? and again asks the mysterious figure, "Who are you? Is this some kind of prank cause it has gotten old!"

Then he hears a chilling distorted voice screaming from a distance which makes his blood run cold.

"NO NO NO NO".

"Close your eyes! don't look at IT!".

The 9ft distorted  hooded figure begins to turn its body menacingly in Denki's direction.

Denki feels his body going paralysed by fear. Then there is a burst of fire  around and the lake where the crystal water turns  bloody red with skeletons appearing at the bottom of the lake.

Then Denki hears a shrill scream of the distorted voices and his nose is  hit by a strong stench of blood and decaying substances.

In panic Denki digs his fingers into his hands desperately willing himself to awake from the hellish nightmare.

Now his vision was fading and everything was going black.

He jolted awake in the familiar UA infirmary room with tears streaming down his rosy cheeks.

He was panting and shaking so badly.

His heart was not calming down.

He felt a gentle gloved hand being  placed on his shoulder.

Denki blinks his eyes to see the face of his freckled worried friend who was dressed in his hero costume.

'Was it another day?'

He could see Midoriya asking him something but he could only hear the beating of his heart more loudly in both of his ears.

Whatever was happening. Denki wants it to stop. With a blurry vision Denki looks at Midoriya moving away from the hospital bed.

"D-Don't leave me" says Denki hoarsely and goes to hug Midoriya on instinct and circles his hands around Midoriya's neck.

Denki buries his face in Midoriya's chest and could feel the rhythmic beating of Midoriya's heart slightly calming him down from both the nightmare and the little episode.

Denki feels the warm gloved hand slowly carding through his hair and the other hand rubbing circles on his back to soothe him from his unknown pain.

Denki smiles into the crook of Midoriya's neck as more fresh tears fall from his eyes and he lets sleep consume him for a while.

Denki held onto Midoriya like a lifeline in his sleep.
