Glitched! Cryaotic x Reader

Chapter Five

I was running through a forest. It was so dark and It was so dense. My heart pounded in my ears and I felt so tired. I didn't even know why I was running anymore. Who I was running from. I want to stop and lay down and fall asleep. I don't want to wake up this time. I skidded to a stop and let the air fill my lungs and I collapsed on the ground until I heard the familiar shriek of a Glitcher. It sounded far away but when I looked up in front of me, it was standing there. It's whip at ready. I yelled and threw my arm in front of myself and the whip came down.

I jumped awake with a audible gasp coming from my lips. I felt trapped and I struggled to get free.

"(Y/N)? What's wrong?" Cry's voice sounded from beside me, deep and gravely from sleep.

"I-I can't breathe." I struggled to say as I continued to try and escape the bag that felt for like a cage.

Cry moved quickly to unzip the bag and quickly got out of it. I scrambled to get out and nearly ripped it off of me. I collapsed on my hands and knees and sucked in deep breathes. I felt his hand on my back and I whirled around and fell into him. He stayed still for a moment, seeming stiff, until his arms came around me and clung to me and he relaxed into me. I clung to his shirt and kept sucking in gulps of air as if I'd never be able to breathe again.

We stayed like this until my breathing leveled out and I pulled away, slightly embarrassed from my lapse in sanity.

"I'm so sorry, Cry." I apologized and detached myself so I was sitting across from him.

"Don't be, please." He whispered, looking at me with a sad look on his face, "What happened?"

I looked to the ground, "It was just a nightmare."

"I get them, too." He whispered, his eyes intent on finding mine.

I looked up at him, "Really?"

He nodded. I smiled at him before returning my eyes to the ground.

"Come on, let's go back to sleep." He set a hand on my arm and my heart skipped a beat.

I crawled into the crumpled Sleeping bag, continuing to mutter apologies to Cry who hushed me with a harsh 'stop it!'. We both returned to the previous position. I shut my eyes and started to drift back to sleep once again.

Someone gave me and small shake, earning a groan from me.

"Come on, (Y/N), time to get moving." Cry's voice echoed in my head.

I groaned again, but this time I sat up and saw Cry smiling down on me. I rolled my eyes but got up anyways and walked over to my bag as he started rolling up his sleeping bag.

"How's your head?" He asked, shoving the roll in his bag.

"A lot better than yesterday, that's for sure." I responded as I slung my pack around my shoulders with a grunt.

"Good. You should take another pill before we hit the road." He offered, not even bothering to look at me.

"No, I'm fine." I told him as he came walking over to where I was.

"Let me take a look at your burn." He said and lifted up the side of my shirt.

"Do you always randomly pull up girls' shirts or am I special?" You teased in a sarcastic tone.
