Origins: Damien Blade

Chapter 2: Unexpected Guest

-Timeskip-

I was 8. I walked down the halls of my Elementary school, and I heard a voice. It was the same voice I heard when I was born. "Where are you going?" it asked. I brushed it off and went to class. When I sat down, I thought about it. Could it be someone? Am I going insane? I guess I'll find out.

Lunch. I usually don't have much, because I'm poor. Also, I don't eat in the cafeteria. I eat in my hideout: the abandoned auditorium. I opened the door and made my way through the debris. Soon, I made it to an old couch. I sat down on it and opened my lunch box. All I had was some bread and water. Not much, but it gets the job done. I picked up the bread, but then I heard the voice again, this time clearer than ever. "Heya, kid," it said. Then, a candle got lit, revealing this unexpected guest.

"Who are you? Please... Don't hurt me." I said, scared of this newcomer. "Whoa, kid! That's not why I'm here." the stranger said. I calmed down a bit, still not trusting the stranger. "The reason I'm here is that I saw you in the hallway. Are you OK?" he asked me. I never thought that anyone would ask that question.

"No.. I'm not," I responded, honestly. "It's just that..." I felt the tears forming. "I've never been.. How do I put this?" I didn't know what to say. "Never been with someone? Never had a best friend?" Nightmare said. I was surprised. Was he reading my mind? I nodded, crying. "Look, kid. I wish I could help, but I don't know how" he said. "By the way, the names Nightmare," he added. "I'm Damien," I responded. I soon hugged Nightmare, crying my eyes out.

End of Chapter 2. Sorry, it's short. I don't have that much time in a day. Also, art credit goes to Bomkaiplow
