My birthday... I don't really know when my true birthday is. All I can remember was that I was in the anti-void since forever. When I came to Nightmare's gang, we made that day my birthday.

I looked at Horror and said, "Why?" He was still smiling but he had a confused look. "What do you mean, why?" He asked. "Well, you shouldn't have bothered." I said, a strained smile cracked into my face. "We did it because we can and you can't stop us." Horror said with sass trying to lighten up the mood. I laughed. A fake laugh. I'm expert at doing this. He laughed with me, except, his laugh was more genuine.

I felt a yawn building up in my throat until I finally let it out. "You should go to bed." Horror said, putting his hands into his hoodie pocket. I only nod to him as I start to get drowsy. "Good night." I said walking inside the room, the first word unintentionally glitching more than it was supposed to.

"Night, sleep tight." I hear him say before I close the door. I looked at the side to take a glance at the 'gifts' before looking back to the curled up children tucked nicely on the bed. Walking towards them and sitting on the edge of the bed, I thought about what just happened today.

Today surely was a crazy long day. I did not expect my son's birthday to be this... tragic. I was supposed to keep them safe. All of them, with Nightmare and his gang. I was suppose to be forgotten so the multiverse won't have anymore problems, I guess fate had other plans. I have to talk to the guys tomorrow. Am I ready? I don't know.

My head is throbbing from all this stressful thinking. My gaze landed on the sleeping children beside me. My children. Mine to protect. A smile formed on my 'lips'. At least I still have my angels. Gently crawling beside Gradient and tucking myself in the blankets, I hoped that the nightmares won't be too bad tonight.


Darkness.... Everything around me was black. I couldn't see anything, I feel like I'm floating. It was... calming, for some reason. Usually people are scared of the dark but not me. I find comfort in the blank dark abyss, compared to that disturbing white place, anti-void.

I looked down, not really knowing why. There I saw my reflection. I looked..... the same old me but different at the same time. I looked smaller and less insane. Guilt and doubt was radiating off me. I can feel it in my bones. Heh. We really do change. I wonder.... nevermind.

At the corner of my eyes, I see something moving. I leaned to the side then saw both of my babies. I only new they were my babies, I couldn't see them clearly and I'm not sure why. Trying to call them and reach out for them. My left hand crawled up to my throat as it was itching painfully. I couldn't speak.

My eyes widened. Behind them was my enemy. At least, that's what I considered him to be. Ink, he was standing behind them. He placed his hands on PJ's shoulder. And they started to fade out my sight. I panicked.

Yet again. Darkness... this time, I was unsure. Confused. A warm familiar feeling engulfed me.

Then I woke up

Hi. It's me again, the author. Now I'm feeling ashamed of myself. I've ended this chapter here. Short, I know. And I'm sorry.

I just didn't feel like writing all these two months. Maybe because I was busy taking care of my cousins who visited us this summer. Or maybe because school just started and I've been busy. Or MAYBE because I'm LAZY.        :)
