Nightmare [An Antisepticeye x Self Insert fanfic]

Chapter 4

He was here. But how? He did nothing but stand in the corner of the room, his eyes staring into my soul. My heart rate increases as I lock eyes with him.

"You..." I barely manage to get out. He chuckles. His slight laughter echoes through my ears.

He slowly moves towards me, the light revealing his evil smile. He licked his fangs as he stared at me like I was his next meal. I quickly stand up and face him completely, slowly backing away from him. I try to speak but I can't say a thing.

"Did you think I was just something from a bad dream? Or did you finally figure it out?" He says while trying to hold back his laughter. The gleam of a blade in his hand catches my eye.

"You're...not even supposed to be REAL. So how the hell are you here???" I say with a lump in my throat.

"Well clearly I AM real. You think some posts on the internet are true?" He says as he gradually gets closer. My back hits the wall, stopping me from moving back any further.

Paying closer attention, I see his silhouette starting to glitch intensely. He glitches until he is unidentifiable and reappears in front of me, closing the large gap between us.

"So I suppose you know my name now, Y/N?" He says as he puts his hand next to my head on the wall. I instantly blush, feeling mildly uncomfortable.

"Yeah. Antisepticeye. Or Anti...whatever. But everything I read said you weren't real." I say trying to back up at least a little bit.

"Well clearly I'm right here." He says while now looking quite annoyed.

I thought for a moment. Why the hell is he being so calm now? I swear he tried to kill me in whatever that dream was.

"What the hell are you staring at me like that for?" He says. I snap out of my thoughts. He's one to talk.

"You tried to KILL me. Why are you so calm now??" I ask with a somewhat panicked tone. "And you sure are one to talk about staring.." I mumble under my breath.

"The hell you say?" He says looking at me angrily.

"Nothing!" I stutter.

"Yeah...right. But to answer your question, I'm keeping you alive because if I kill you right now, my fun will be over. You can't die in a dream. You'll just wake up. In real life, you die. So I'm only keeping you around for entertainment" he says as his grin returns.

I duck under his arm quickly and move away from him. He glitches in front of me and looks into my eyes.

"Going somewhere?" He says as that awful shrill laughter fills my ears. "I'd hate to have to kill you so early on...but I will. And I still enjoy it."

I stand still and say nothing. He grabs my wrist and forces me to sit back down on the couch. I tense up as he hovers over me. He hops on the couch next to me and looks at the TV. What is he doing?

"What's this?" He says as he points at the screen.

"...Adventure Time. It's a cartoon." I say as I scoot away from him. He looks at me for a moment then back at the TV. He pulls a phone from his back pocket and starts going through it.

"You have a phone..?" I say sounding quite confused.

"Well duh. I'm not that old" he says. He sounds irritated. I rub my eyes and yawn.

He smirks at me. I remembered that falling asleep isn't a good idea as long as he's around. I try my best not to make eye contact with him. I can feel him staring at me. He finally stops staring and pays attention to the TV.

I check to see how much time has past. 5:27 PM. Had it really been that long? I feel so uneasy around him. Seeing him so calm is unnerving. I stand up.

"Where're you going?" He asks almost immediately.

"To my room..." I say as I quickly walk up the stairs. I didn't want to be in the same room with him any longer.

I get up to my room and notice my bedroom door was closed. I never close my bedroom door. Maybe I...just forgot that I closed it. Or maybe Anti was trying to mess with me. I slowly open my bedroom door and see nothing. I enter and let out a sigh a relief.

My bedroom door slams shut. I turn around to see Anti has been standing behind my door. How the hell did he get up here so fast?

"You look tired, Y/N." He says teasingly.

I must admit, I'm fucking exhausted. But knowing Anti, he'll only torture me in my dreams. I can't trust him of all people. I yawn and rub my eyes. I can't go to sleep now. I just can't.

"Sleep, Y/N. Or are you scared of something?" He says as he steps closer. I move back and sit on my bed.

"Why can't you just leave me alone?" I sigh.

"Where's the fun in that?" He says with a small chuckle.

I turn on my TV and watch whatever's on. My eyelids slowly start to feel heavier and heavier. I force myself to stay awake. I turn to see Anti's glowing green eyes in the corner of my room, lurking in the corner, waiting for me to fall asleep. I look at my window and see it's beginning to get dark.

I yawn once more. My bed has never felt more comfortable. I'm so tired but I can't go to sleep. I can not fall asleep.

I can not fall asleep...

Those were the last words that went through my mind as my eyes closed and my mind went blank.

I had fallen asleep.
