Chapter 22- Observations

Jesse's POV

I opened my eyes, still safely laying on the couch. I looked around, making sure everything was still there.

"Phew," I murmured, "I'm not dreaming."

I suddenly heard a noise coming from on the floor by the couch. I tried turning my head to look, but it was almost as if it was frozen. I tried pushing harder, but that created a tingling sensation to move up my body. It wasn't the good kind, either. It was more like pins and needles were stabbing me. I was completely frozen, except I could move my eyes. I tried as hard as I could to look down at what was on the floor. I saw in my peripheral vision something loudly eating. Closing my eyes for a moment, I felt something on my chest.

I opened my eyes, and it was sitting there, looking at me directly in the face. It's entire front side was just a mouth, with blood and saliva dripping from its sharp teeth. I screamed as I tried to life my hand to throw it off.

A burning pain erupted through my hand as it broke free from its frozen spell. I yelled in pain as I topped off the couch, now my entire body feeling like it was on fire. I was screaming bloody murder now as my skin stung. The creature snorted as it jumped toward me and started getting bigger.

"Jesse!" exclaimed someone in the distance. I looked over as Lukas popped his head up from his bed and looked at me. His eyes grew wide and his mouth dropped open. I could hardly breathe. The burning got more and more intense as the creature advanced. I laid on the floor, choking. My vision was getting weak. I grabbed my neck. The creature was hovering right above me. I screamed more. It opened its mouth about to bite me, when it halted. Something loud came from behind it. My pain suddenly stopped.

It groaned in agony as it exploded its insides everywhere, covering me in its thick, dark red fluid that had an awful smell. The monster was completely gone though, except for the bits of its bowels that had exploded onto me and Lukas who was standing eyes bulging, sword in his hand. I was busy sputtering out the bitter goo from the monster out of my mouth and wiping its entrails off me.

"Gross!" I said as I threw some on the floor.

"Ugh, ditto," Lukas replied, "I don't even know how I did that. I heard you screaming and saw this... creature, so I stabbed it, trying to get it off of you. I didn't even realize this would happen!"

I looked at the creature more closely now that I could see clearly again. Its body was slug-like, brown and slimy. Its way-too-big mouth was gaping open as a puddle of drool trickled out into a puddle. It had black, beady eyes at the sides of its head. There was a hole in its side where the explosion had come from with the same red fluid dripping from it. Lukas winced as he cautiously poked at it with his sword.

"Lukas, you twerp! You ruined it!" someone exclaimed.

"Huh?" he said as he looked around.

"I was having so much fun watching, then you go and spoil it all!" the voice continued. Two yellow lights appeared out of the darkness, then Nightmelody stepped out of the shadows looking cross.

"I had worked so hard on it too!"

"Nightmelody!" Lukas and I exclaimed together.

"No need to be so formal; my friends call me Melody... well, you know, if I had friends they would call me that... anyway! What was I just saying?"

"Did I do something wrong?" asked Lukas.

"Oh, yeah. Yeah, you did. Wait a minute, wait a minute!" her voice started drifting upward. She floated up onto the creature and exclaimed, "I finally did it! They told me it wasn't possible, but I did it! Shared dreams are possible!"
