Kids From Yesterday -MCR killjoy fanfic

Chapter 10

I used the wall to guide me down the dark hallway,  leaning far against it.

I continued to blink my eyes to focus,  trying hard to remain standing.

"Oh my God Nebula!" 

I turned to see Silver and Nightmare jogging towards me.

I attempted a smile,  as Silver wrapped her arms around me.

Did she not know I was awake?  Hadn't Party told her?

I gently hugged her back,  hugging Nightmare afterwards.

"Nebula!" Someone called.

I peered down the hallway,  to see a man in a black and yellow leather jacket walk my way.

"I can't believe your awake. Welcome back from the dead sleepy head." 

It was Fun Ghoul,  I instantly remember him from the dream.

He came up to me,  giving me a quick hug.

I noticed as Nightmare slowly backed away,  a flush rising to her cheeks as she looked down to the floor.

I furrowed my eyebrows as I watched her walk back towards the main room.

"Ghoul,  where's Party?" I whispered. 

He furrowed his eyebrows.  "I haven't seen him.. he's been gone all day.  Or hidden.. who knows what goes on in that boy's head."  He shrugged,  walking back from where he came from.

My heart sank,  as my lungs suddenly didn't want to fill up with air.

Silver came up to me,  gently wrapping me up in her soft embrace.

I gladly accepted as I burrowed my face in her hair, my heart beat slowly beating in my chest.

She backed away, tucking my hair behind my ear. She smiled at me,  a soft and slight glimmer showing within her eyes.

I tried to smile back.. finding it to be extremely difficult.

I knew she could feel my pain.  It's what came with being so close.  My pain while she was gone was close to absolutely unbearable.. I wouldn't want to be her right now.

I followed her down the corridor,  entering the main room.

Nightmare stood gazing at a picture that was hung up on her wall.

From where I stood I couldn't quite make it out.

Jet sat at the only table in the room.  It was a nice size,  at least able to fit 5.

Me and Silver sat down,  as Nightmare joined us.

"Oh! Oh my God your up! How are you?" Jet asked.

I set my head in my hands.  "Tired."  I answered.

He chuckled lightly,  letting out a sigh afterwards.

Silver played with the ends of her thin brown tips,  her eyes concentrated on her hair.

Jet sat tuning up a ray gun that had apparently malfunctioned,  as Nightmare watched with sad eyes.

What was upsetting her?  I don't really know much about her.. but something was kept hidden.

I looked up to see Ghoul walk into the room.

"Nightmare?"  He asked aloud.

Her head snapped up, her cheeks immedietely turning rosy pink.

"Yes Ghoul.." she mumbled.

"I need to talk to you." He spoke quietly.  She quickly stood up,  following him to the back of the shed.

"Jet?"

He looked up towards me. "Yeah?"

I sighed. "What's going on with Nightmare?"

"What do you mean?"  Silver asked me.

"I don't know... something seems off with her.  Did something happen?"

Jet spoke up now.  "Well... a few years ago when the tragedies first started, the HW messed-well everyone up really.  But it turns out that Nightmare and Ghoul were together.  Well.. when I say that.. Ghoul was in love with Nightmare.  He truelly thought they would be together forever.. But they were soon departed from a drac breakout.  They hadn't talked since.. at least until she came and saved our asses."

He shook his head.  "I would be lying if I said that Ghoul didn't still love her with everything he is.  He was crushed when he lost her.  It's been rough on him to suddenly see her again.. after all that time."

His words seeped deep into my thoughts.  Ghoul was always a nice guy to be around.

I knew something deep and petrifying had replenished within him.. but it's hard to differ that from anyone else who survived out here and have been through hell themselves.

I sighed,  running my fingers through my long hair.

"Nebula."  Someone spoke.

I slowly looked up,  to see a worried Nightmare standing in the hallway.

"Something is wrong."
