Chapter 7: Night Terrors

(First Person)

I was running like a cadet being chased by huge smiling titans, the adrenaline was at such high points and I don't even know what I'm running away from. "(Y/N)." A voice in the dark of the night echoed, my feet was hitting the cemented pavement as I ran away from this horrible creature.

"Y/N." The voice whispered again, louder this time. "Inveniet Ad Veritate." (Google translate lmao.)

I wanted to ask what the voice meant, but my voice was lost and speaking is nearly impossible

I turned around, I didn't know who or what was chasing me yet I still felt fear down to the core. My head went forward again and I wished I didn't look up the sky.

I screamed in terror.

The creature was flying up the air. It was just like a skeleton and it haunts me with its cat-like yellow tinted eyes.

"W-What are you?" I managed to say despite the fear eating up my very soul/

It simply smiled at me wordlessly, like a mother looking down at her own child. Wait, she's not my mother right? No. 

"You'll find out soon. Just wait a little bit more and your memories will come back." The creature said before fading/flying away into the darkness.

"What was that?" I said to myself.

I was running, again. I don't know why I was running this time, I'm not escaping or anything. In fact, I think I'm going somewhere.

I might have reached my destination.

My house? I thought I burned it down? I slowly walked to my house, opening the door. I was shocked at what I saw. It was my mom and sister, they're alive!

"Mom! S/N!" I screamed happily, running to them. Didn't they hear me?

I was about to hug my mom but I passed through her, I fell to the ground, shocked. What's happening?

"Mom?" I quietly spoke, it seems like she can't hear me.

I looked down the ground. Is this only a dream?

I heard sounds of choking, I looked at S/N and my mom. They were... choking?!!
Am I witnessing how my mom and sister died? What's the point of this whole thing?

I have so many questions. Sad thing is, they're all unanswered. Tears welled up in my eyes as I witnessed how my mom and sister died. Why were they killed if they're not even criminals?

I don't want to cry anymore, I had enough of crying but I just can't stop the tears from flowing.
There was a knock on the door, I thought I opened the door when I came in? I went to it and opened it while still crying.

A man with a mask appeared, he has black hair and his mask had black eye sockets with a smile painted with blood. The man was holding a knife and he's also wearing a blue top with black pants.
"It's time to die, Shinigami Princess." He said, emphasizing the word princess in a hard tone. That's when he lunged his hatchet at me. "Your blood will make a great painting."

I screamed once again.

I woke up, I was sweating coldly, I sat up and took heavy breaths. What's the dream all about? I think I can remember parts of it.

The door suddenly opened revealing Near with his usual blank face.

"I heard you scream. What is it?" He said in a monotone.

"Nothing. I-it's just a nightmare." I stuttered. Still trying to calm down from that shaky nightmare I had.

"Oh. Do you need anything?" Near asked, there was something in his voice that I can't place a finger on. Or maybe I'm just imagining it. I don't know.

"P-please. S-stay." I said. I don't care how weak I sounded, I really need someone right now.
"Are you-" He was interrupted by my voice.
"Just, please. stay," I said again, I can't sleep after a nightmare alone, I need someone.

"Okay." He agreed, I looked up at him.
"Really?" I said, my tone sounded a little bit happy. At least I won't be alone anymore.

"Yes, if that is what you want. I remember me telling you that call me if you need anything." He said, laying down the bed.

"Thank you." I whispered, plopping down. I wrapped my hands around his waist, he stiffened, but I didn't care, my eyes closed and I let the darkness engulf me.

Another short chapter, sarreh for that. Yes, There is a Bloody Painter reference to my fellow Creepypasta Fans.

And yes it's edited. I was cringing the whole time I reread the chapter. Aw man.

Also, there goes the Cliche-Nightmare Can-you-please-stay-I'm-scared scene. Yep. Feel free to cringe.
