A light in the darkness |Nightmare x reader|

Prey and predator

tall dark trees raised from the ground, one just like the other. no way to tell them apart in this winter wonderland. Getting lost would be an easy task. Y/n had began running in the direction of the scream for awhile now. the screams had began to die down with only small pleas of mercy toward whatever was threatening the owner of the voice. It was quite a distance between them so she believed running would not attract unwanted company toward her at this distance. Venturing closer to the source made her notice more destruction. love branches were cut and broken down with some trees having slash marks on them. tree bark scattered the ground together with pine needles.

looking down on the snow made her realize all the multiple footprint and blood scattered around as well. Thoughts that she may be facing multiple treats came sneaking up. another scream made her stop in her track. the scream came nearly right in front of her. It sounded like they screamed out in pain. What disgusted the female was the chuckle that was let out after by what she assumed to be its attacker.someone was enjoying someone's suffering. multiple voices spoke, but the fear that had enter her made it impossible to listen.

Why was she this stupid that she thought she could save someone. She couldn't even save herself and see where that brought here. Maybe it was the hope for an answer, just some kind of answer. where she was, what happening, what happened ... where was Nightmare. she felt so alone right now. falling down on her knees in the snow. trying to collect herself. She wanted to turn around, find a way out of here that didn't bring her back to that void, or maybe the void had more portals if she just looked. All she had to do was to turn around and leave. no one knew she was there. leaving to a town where the inhabitants were not dead. get answers.

She could leave, but why hasn't she done it. Still sitting at the same spot in what seemed like hours. listening into someones torture. maybe it was plain human curiosity. that she had to know what was going on, what happened and what the treat was. it could be she met them again. wouldn't it be best to see what the treat was so it was easier to avoid it in the future. knowing a little bit of how they thought. this was a stupid move, but she slowly rose to her feet and took a shaky step forward. 'I may become their next victim' she thought to herself, trying to make herself turn around and run, but she continued forward.

shaking slightly as she stood and looked down into a large pit. Feeling herself freze up. pressed up into a corner was a pretty beat up bunny monster. crying out and begging for mercy. However, the bunny monster wasn't the reason she froze up, it was the monster that was attacking it. It was three skeletons that had some similarities with Dream and Nightmare. were all skeleton monsters this similar? Y/n didn't see their face, so she may been wrong. The one closest to the petrified Bunny Monster wore a blue hoodie with the grey hood up, blue sneakers and black basketball shorts with a white stripe on its side. a knife pressed on their prey's neck.

The next skeleton wasn't far behind the next one. sanding and laughing with him. he wore a similar outfit wit the first one, except his hood was down. his arms crossed over his chest and knife in hand. "Hurry it up you two" the third one said annoyed. The third one didn't look as similar as the other two, and off all the three, he seemed like the last one you would be messing with. he was covered in some black substance. it actually remind her of the dark apples from the three of feeling. Y/n felt a sting in her hart when she thought about her home. The third skeleton seem to be wearing something similar to the other two, but it was covered in the dark substance as well. on his back four dark tentacles came out. he was leaning on a tree with his hand in his pockets.

"Will do boss~" and with one fast swoop the knife of the first one slid up. swift like he was cutting butter. which showed he was pretty used to doing this. this started the female and made her let out a tiny gasp, hands covering her mouth right after, standing a little bit more up on her spot, ready to flee at any second. a dust cloud fell slowly toward the snow as the first and second skeleton was chuckling together. too much in their own world to notice her quiet gasp. however, a movement from the corner of her eyes made her realist that someone did
