🎑✖A Day in the Life of a Nightmare✖🎑 (dark Deception AU)

Meet and Eat

3:20:10 - I stood in the ballroom. I smiled just as he escaped from another nightmare realm. The next one would be more harsh. And I would be next because the future of the nightmares are literally in my hands...

"Crypt, please come up to the stage..come collect your medal..." A bunch of lights flickered as I stepped up on stage. The air was misty and smelled of pine. I shuffled to the front holding my medal as I looked up. The crowd was kinda happy. Creature-like nightmares filled the room and some cheered. My mother, Helen Beirce sat in a row to seats away from me.  She was grinning and waving at me as I tried to say my speech. You see fellow mortal, I am Charlie Crypt, but just call me Crypt. I was getting a medal and key to the ballroom since I was now Beirce's legal child. I tried to speak but I couldn't. "Um, hello fellow nightmares, I am Crypt. I-i am very happy t-to be in charge of the ballroom..so thank you..." I shuffled off the stage with anxiety right behind me. I sat right next to my mom and she patted my head. "Crypt, you did good..there's nothing to worry about." But I did worry.. My cousin Phillip is in college..and he could've helped me because he knows Beirce and everything about the ballroom. I slumped down in my seat as the creature talked about the ring altar, and teleportation, and stuff I didn't really care about. Then the auditorium doors opened and a shadow-like figure filled the room and clapped gently. I turned from the red blood chair in front of me to the back of the auditorium. "Excuse me, I didn't mean to crash your little party, but I heard Beirce was having a welcoming party for the little new adaption to the ballroom..Where is she?" The figure seemed to be a tall man with red pale skin and black eyes and black smoke puffing out from him sides. My mother told me about this man.. Malak.. I tried not to make a sound. Mother stood up and spoke violently, " Malak, we don't have time for your games..now turn around and go back to the altar where you belong." I was having an anxiety attack because then a black beam was shot at my ear, most importantly it hit mother across her eye. " Beirce, I forgot how fun it is to fight you.." He walked down the row to our seat and reached across my head and grabbed my white hair. I was dragged to the front of the auditorium. " now, what's your name little like kid?" He said with a hint of anger. "I-i a-am Crypt ..." I mumbled because I could barely speak. "That's cute, but if you loved your mother you could at least speak in front of this crowd." he looked at me taking a smoke blade out of his pocket. I started crying and the looked at him. He grinned and I was stabbed.

6:16:42- Loosing blood from a smoke blade. I called out for help and someone came. Agatha Haynes...
