Josh smirked as he watched the girl wither on the bed, letting out the occasional whimper and tangling herself in the sheets.
Josh tightened his hand into a fist and the girl's whimpering became louder, turning into gurgles of pain.
Grinning, the dark-haired boy loosened, allowing the girl to relax a bit before he tightened his hand again.
A dark chuckle sounded from behind Josh and he whipped around, seeing a tall shadowy figure leaning against the side of the house.
Josh's fist opened and the girl sat up with a loud scream before gasping for breath and shaking in her bed.
"Really Joshua? Isn't scaring teens who just watched a horror movie for amateurs?" The figure asked, slipping his hood off his head to reveal his black, soulless eyes.
"Shut up Jide. I'm just having a little fun." Josh replied with a smirk.
"Or does Lord Tenebris think you're incapable of getting a real job done?"
Josh rolled his eyes and turned on his heel, walking in the direction of his house.
You see, Josh was just an average human, most of the time.
Josh had two sides, like a small percentage of the population. Once he shifted, he was darker and scarier. He could control nightmares.
Under the rule of Lord Tenebris, Nightmares spread darkness and despair through the world. The ultimate plan was for Nightmares to take over, but Josh had a feeling that would take a while.
He and his friends, Tobi, Vik, and occasionally Jide, were just a few of the nightmares in the world.
As Josh reached his house and climbed through his window, he thought about what JJ had said.
Did Lord Tenebris actually think that he wasn't capable of doing a job correctly? I mean, sure, he hasn't driven anyone to insanity with the nightmares, but neither had Tobi or Vik.
Josh pondered this as he fell into a dreamless sleep, as Nightmares can't dream.
He decided as darkness took over his brain that he would go to talk to Lord Tenebris tomorrow after school.
