Nightmares Come True

Chapter 20 - The Finale Part 2

Previously on Nightmares Come True: Terina remembered what had happened and who she was, thanks to Wendy returning her memory. She and Diana made an agreement, but this caused Larry to leave the group.

Let the nightmares continue...

( Terina's P.O.V )

I kept gripping my arms and fell to the ground, I broke down crying. How could I be so revolting towards Larry? Then again he did start the argument, but I didn't want him to actually leave. I was only saying those things because it seemed like he wanted to know answers, and I gave them, but I gave them incorrectly. My eyes were shut tightly and I was still gripping my arms, I kept whining and sobbing every now and then.

I heard footsteps and I saw a blurry girl that was Wendy. She put her hand on my shoulder and I sniffled.

"Listen, it's my fault. If I hadn't done anything to you, then he wouldn't have left you. Now I understand that you're upset, so I understand if you want me to leave." She said. I shook my head and kept crying.

"N-No! It's n-not your f-fault...it was mi-ine. I chose t-to yell at h-him, and I-I was the one t-to cause him t-to leave. So...I have t-to go after him." I sobbed. The girls gasped at what I said.

"Terina! You know it's too dangerous to go into the haunted forest by yourself! Besides, there are all sorts of creatures in there that can kill you! Do you really want to risk your life?" Clarissa argued. I stood up and shook off the crying.

"Yes." I said firmly. They exchanged glances and Diana stepped to me.

"Listen, if you're going so am I, and there's no point in arguing. Besides, you, Larry and I had formed a team together, and I'm not going down without you or Larry." She said. I sighed and gave out my hand. She gladly accepted and we turned to the girls. I looked down to Daisy who was still unconscious, but she was breathing steadily.

"Girls, I need to you take Daisy to a hospital back in the village, she isn't going to live much longer thanks to the blood loss. Diana and I will look for Larry." I said and Diana and I began towards the forest.

"DIANA!! TERINA!!" Mona yelled. We turned around and looked at her. She ran up to us and gave us both a hug. We hugged her back, and she let go and whispered.

"Good luck." She looked like she was about to cry.

"Don't worry, we'll be back before you know it." I whispered back. She smiled and ran back to the girls and waved us goodbye. We turned to the entrance and I looked back to the girls who were watching us. I smiled and gave them a final wave. They waved back and I entered the forest with Diana.

( Wendy's P.O.V )

I watched them enter the forest and soon they were out of sight. I sighed and turned to the others. They were chatting amongst themselves when I saw Daisy was still on the ground. I went to her and picked her up and looked at them. They were still talking, I sighed and walked the opposite direction from the forest.

"HEY!!" One of them yelled. I turned around and they were almost right behind me.

"What are you doing?" The blonde asked.

"I'm taking her to the hospital. This was my old home, but once I moved to your village I basically already knew where everything was. So, I already know the way there, so you can either stay here or come with me to help Daisy." I replied. They glanced at each other and the blonde smiled.

"Well, lead the way Wendy." She said. I smiled and we all walked together. The blonde began our first conversation.

"By the way, I'm Clarissa. That's Mona, and that's Ella." She said as she pointed to the others.

"Thanks Clarissa, it's nice to meet you girls. As you already know, I'm Wendy. The...monster that caused all of this." I said with a sigh. Clarissa put a hand on my shoulder and I looked up to her.

"Hey, it's not entirely your fault. Besides, it's not like we're blaming this on you." She said.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Of course! But I just have one question.." She muttered. I gave her a confused look.

"What's up with this place? I mean, it was your old home right? How did you and Terina meet?" She asked. I blinked and chuckled. On our way to the village, I explained everything that happened.

It's nice to know people are supporting you, even after all the trouble you've gotten into.

( Terina's P.O.V )

I pushed my knife through the monsters chest and it fell to the floor, twitching until it died. I huffed and helped Diana up.

"Are you alright? Does your arm hurt?" I asked. She nodded her head in response.

"OK then, I still think this was actually a bad idea. But...I still didn't mean for this to happen." I mumbled. Diana gently hit my arm.

"Stop blaming yourself, if we've known Larry long enough, he'll come back soon." She explained. I sighed and gently smiled back.

"I guess your right.."

"Pfft! Of course I'm right! Come on, we gotta find him before he does something ridicu-" Diana started until he heard a shriek. We glanced at each other and ran in the direction of the scream. We practically sprinted, because if we didn't get there in time, that person could be dead before we even got there.

Wait, the scream. I've heard it before.

I gasped and sprinted faster, I had to get ahead of Diana. Larry wouldn't be able to take much more of what was happening to him. Diana slowed down and yelled out to me.

"Keep going! I'll catch up!" I nodded and ran faster. I could barely hear lashing of something, and I knew Larry was trying to use his knife to escape whatever he was dealing with. I could faintly see a figure with a weapon and a creature with fur. More like a Larry trying to defend himself from a wolf.

I swiped out my knife and dashed towards Larry. I jumped out and screamed in fear.

From there, everything went in slow motion for me. I had jumped and lashed at the creature, aiming my knife at its chest. Before Larry could react, I had hit the animal in its chest. I pulled it out and the creature stumbled back, falling to the ground and stopped moving. I kept breathing shakily, trying to regain my posture.

I felt arms wrap around my waist and I turned around to hug Larry back.

"Thank god you came. I didn't know what I'd do without you Terina." He gasped, breathing heavily. He seemed very shocked at what just happened.

"Don't worry about it, besides I didn't know what I'd do knowing you'd be dead." I replied. I heard him sigh and I smiled. We let go and we blushed a faint light pink.

"Listen, I'm sorry about blasting about myself before. I didn't mean it, I just couldn't control myself." He explained.

"Larry, it's fine. Trust me, I know how it feels." I said. He smiled and I returned it. I heard breathing and footsteps of someone coming towards us. Larry stood in front of me and I simply pushed him aside. I peeked my head through the bush to see Diana, once again out of breath.

"I see you finally caught up." I chuckled. She looked up at me and gently punched my arm. Larry dashed past me and hugged Diana. She gasped and sighed in relief. I grinned at the two, happy to see them together again. They began talking to each other and I looked behind me.

I searched through the pathway and my feet slowly dragged me towards its direction. Diana and Larry began following me and I turned back to them.

"I think I know the way back to the city. What do ya say?" I asked. They both nodded while they continued to hold hands. I swear I could've seen Larry blush.

I nodded and continued forth, Larry and Diana walking beside me. I got lost in thought and just realised what had happened.

So, what would've happened if Larry didn't leave? What could've happened if Wendy disagreed?

Well, let's just hope Wendy will keep that promise,

If not, then let's see who the master is.
