---Abby's POV---
I walked up to the check in counter. What once was Bradly, now stood an android named John.

"Hello Ms. DeHaan." John said. "How may I assist you?"

"I need a way to get rid of X." I said. "Is there anyone who knows how to?" John leaned over the counter and reached into his pocket.

"My predecessor had hid this." John whispered. "There is something on the other side of the Forest of Nightmares. However, you know how that place is the deeper you go."

"I'll take the risk." I whispered. John handed me a map.

"Good luck." John said. I took off towards the Forest of Nightmares. With my shot gun and my back pack full of food and supplies, I start my quest to stop X once and for all. At the edge of the forest, I pulled out a torch and lit it up. I took a deep breath and walked in.

Why do they call it the Forest of Nightmares anyways? I thought. Suddenly, Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, and Pewdie Pie jumped out of the bushes. The three of them were dressed as the Heathers. Markiplier was Heather Chandler, Jacksepticeye was Heather Duke, and Pewdie Pie was Heather McNamara. I raised an eyebrow.

"Great," I said. "I'll never look at those three the same way again." Suddenly, they started singing and dancing.

MARK:
Are we gonna have a problem?
You got a bone to pick?
You’ve come so far,
Why now are you pulling on my dick?
I’d normally slap your face off,
And everyone here could watch.
But I’m feeling nice.
Here’s some advice.
Listen up, biotch!

In my Porsha with the quarterback

ALL THREE:
Woah! Woah! Woah!

MARK:

JACK AND FELIX:

Suddenly, Becca appeared. She was carrying a letter.

"So this is why they call it the Forest of Nightmares." I mumbled.

BECCA:
Abby, look!
Ram invited me to his homecoming party.
This proves he’s been thinking about me.

ME:

BECCA:

I began laughing to the point of crying. It was just hilarious to me that Mark, Jack, and Felix would go out of their way to make a nightmare come true.

"You three." I cried. "You three got me good. And how did you portray Becca without getting her out of her bed? Holograms? Priceless."

"Goddamit." Jack grumbled. "I told you to go with the old man."

"Well sorry," Mark grumbled. "I thought three grown men in dresses would scare her more."

"She found our weakness!" Felix shouted. The three gamers turned into dark shadow like balls and zoomed off. I stopped laughing. Those weren't my friends from Morpheus. Those were occupants of the forest. I continued on my way. Whoever knew the secret to killing X off lived on the other side of this forest for a reason. The sun began to rise on me.

"Time to wake up." I said to myself, placing down my gun and sitting on the ground. I allowed the sun to warm up my face. I was no longer afraid of X. Or anything on the road ahead of me really. I was ready to face whatever is in this forest. Or any forest I encounter from now on. I don't care how long it takes, I will kill my demon once and for all and save Becca. Whatever's out there, I want you to know, I'm ready for it. I'm going to appreciate all of it - especially the food. I don't mind if I only have a year left. Or a month. Or a single week. I'd be happy with one new day. I can already imagine the sun on my face.

Come and get me X. I thought as I drifted off. Come and hit me with your best shot.
