Nyctalgia's POV
My feet started pulling me backward away from the table, my face was crawling with sweat at the sight of my father and brother's heads.
Mom frowned, "What's the matter Nyctalgia? Don't you like the food I made for you?"
I looked at her in complete fear and shook my head, "Your not my mom."
And at that note I spun around and ran for the door at full on sprint.
"Get back here young man!!!"
I closed my eyes as I ran through the yard, I could hear her following close behind me, how she was moving that fast I didn't know.
I heard her laugh and I could feel her breath on the back of my neck.
"Gotcha!"
She lunged at me and threw me to the ground. Wrestling with her she lifted a large kitchen knife into the air and brought it down towards my throat. I caught her hands and struggled to push them back.
She smiled, it wasn't her smile I knew, "It'll be alright not baby, mommy' gonna put you to bed."
My jaw tightened and I growled, "Your not my mom!"
I shoved her backward, the knife flew out of her hands, I caught it and brought it swinging down hard into her chest.
Up and down, up and down, up and down.
The blood covered my arms, legs, and chest. It flooded the grass until I felt as though I were almost swimming in it.
I dropped the knife suddenly and crawled off her body, slipping on the wet grass.
My breathing was fast and I started hyperventilating. I brought my hands up to the sides of my head and gripped at my hair, blood smearing on my face.
Then I screamed at the sky in anger, "Why do you hate me so?! What the hell did I ever do to deserve a life as torturous as this one?! God damn it!"
I punched the ground a couple times and took a deep breath.
"Stop it Nyctalgia, your stronger than this. What would Lucid say to me about now? Probably something along the lines of 'Nyctalgia, man up and stop being a fucking pansy. Chew up whatever life throws at you and spit it right back at 'em.' Yep that sounds about right."
I got up and paced back and forth for a moment then looked towards the house. Something tugged in my chest making me want to walk back in. Forcing myself to look away I felt my hand heat up, looking down I saw a ball of fire dancing in the palm of my hand.
I lifted my hand and aimed it at the house.
Turning away I let it fly from my hand and swallow the house in flame.
There was a blood curdling scream and I covered my ears as I walked shakily away from the it.
I walked into a forest that appeared in front of me, putting space between myself and the burning hell hole. It got darker, and darker the deeper I walked into the woods. Soon it was pitch black and I had to light my hand on fire to be able to see five feet in front of me.
The was a loud snap and I turned quickly. Nothing.
Shaking my head I hugged myself with my one unoccupied arm and continued forward. I turned and saw a piece of paper hammered into the trunk of a tree.
I frowned then my eyes widened suddenly as I recognized the scraggly handwriting written on the paper.
"Oh for the love of God."
I walked closer and read what it said out loud, "Don't look or it takes you."
I ripped it from its nail and shoved it in my pocket quickly.
"Just what I wanted. For video games to come to life!"
I kicked the tree then heard the familiar low drum beat and quickly walked through the forest to find the rest of the pages.
"Slender man. It just had to be FUCKING Slender man."
There was another page nailed to a rusted old car and I quickly grabbed it and read it as I circled the old metal container next to it.
"Watches. No eyes."
The drum beat sounded once more and my heart started pounding.
Turning I saw a white face through the trees and I ran in the opposite direction. I came to a large pipe and jogged through it snatching the paper off the wall as I went.
There was a picture on it this time.
It was of a forest and it had a messily drawn slender on it.
I turned to look over my shoulder and saw him at the other end of the pipe. I sprinted out and ran back into the woods.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"
I came to a clearing and found another page on the side of a large dead tree.
Another drawing of slender next to a tree it said one word, "Follows."
I heard the static before I saw him, "Holy mother of god!"
I yelled and ran again, probably looked like a pansy ass little girl but who give a shit!
I stumbled into another clearing with a huge ass bolder right smack in the middle of it and a page hanging on it taunting me.
I yanked it off the rock and read it quickly as I jogged down a dirt path.
"Can't run. Fuck that shit, I can to run!"
I turned and yelped and ran down the path, "Fuck off already ya bitch!"
He appeared in front of me and I swerved to the left and ran past him.
"Okay I'm sorry gosh!"
The path opened out to a larger clearing with old rusted metal containers. There was another page on the first container I passed and I quickly shoved it in my pocket, after I read what it said of course.
"Help me. Tsk that would be nice!"
Then there was the building.
I stopped abruptly outside the open doorway and caught my breath.
"I REALLY don't want to go in there."
I paced back and forth in front of the door for a second.
"I only have two stupid pages left! Why is this so fucking hard!"
I took a deep breath then sprinted in and check every room until I found the last two in room on opposite sides of the building.
I heard the drum beat abruptly stop and I held my breath, my feet frozen to the ground.
Then I heard footsteps.
I closed my eyes and shook my head.
The exit was right outside the door and I couldn't move.
The got closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and...
I finally ripped my feet from the floor and sprinted out the door deeper into the woods. I heard a loud screech behind me and I ran faster.
Until I tripped over a large root and tumbled down the side of a steep hill.
I rolled, hit my head, probably almost broke my arm and a leg a couple times and slid to a halt at the base of a mountain that wasn't there before.
My limbs were scorching with pain and I grimaced as I sat up. My clothes were torn and I was covered from head to toe in mud.
Then it started to rain of course.
I looked around for any noticeable exit to the trench I was stuck in but it was to dim to see anything as it pitch dark out.
"God dammit!"
I threw my arms up and ran my hangs through my hair and took a couple deep breaths. I ran my hands through my hair and sighed.
"Well nows probably a good time to do it."
I looked up at the thin thread of skyline and took another deep breath.
I jumped into the air and my wings sprang from my back and hurled me towards the top of the cliff.
As soon as my feet touched the ground I was thrown off balance and nearly flew back into the cavern.
I turned and glared at the person who shoved me then stared in horror and amazement.
"L..lucid?"
Big brother Lucid of course was standing in front of me. Except he didn't look like Lucid. He look meaner and scarier, pretty much a force not to be reckoned with.
Best part! He was glaring at me and I'm pretty sure this Lucid wants to kill me and eat my guts for breakfast.
"Well shit I'm screwed."
