What If...: The Story of What Could Have Been

A Nightmare to Scare

This was the longest time Lily had every taken to fall asleep. Her mind and heart was racing. Eren was on her mind and that was it. She really did miss him and wish for some help through all of this. Once she did fall asleep, her dream began as a simple ball. The dresses were as formal as her victorian era princess while the men looked like knights without their armor. She was in the middle of the ballroom dancing floor and had no idea how she arrived there out of all places. Suddenly, a tall male with an emerald green eye appeared. She was praying it was the Wizard of Oz and would help her go home or wake up. Instead he offered to dance with the girl in which she agreed and felt his hand. It felt familiar but not something to easily name. The two began to waltz and they were the most perfect dancers in a dream ever. Others were staring and whispering about the man, where he came from, why he was covering half his face and other things. Once the dance had ended, Lily had touched the man's face and moved it, revealing a missing eyeball from his eye socket, cuts all over that side and other things. The room vanished into a prison cell dripping and leaking. The man with the missing eyeball scared the poor girl and caused her to scream but no luck. The man slowly approached her and kept whispering her name. Soon she later realized it was Eren due to the click of emerald eyes and light brown hair along with his facial structure and jail outfit.

"Eren... I-I'm so sorry for screaming I just... I can't leave you.. I love you... so much...;" She said. Eren though was pushing away from her now now. Lily just kept walking towards him, a frown on her face. "I never meant to hurt you like this... I'm not leaving you like this... not now... not ever." She added. Eren then looked at her and took her hands.

"Why didn't you say that to me when I was alive?" He asked. Lily was confused for a moment and realized the pool of blood coming out of his face, chest and waist. Lily jumped back slightly but went over, holding him tightly. The blood though didn't stop and began to overflow the room they were in. Before Lily could do anything, she woke up. She was drenched in cold sweat and her breaths were small.

"I am not sleeping anymore tonight.."
