~Pain~

-Darryl's POV-

~Afternoon, 1:48pm~

I shushed Zak as we hid in one of the spare rooms Jacob said he used for storage. It had no windows but it's all we had. It wasn't very big, it was more like a big closet then a small room. I felt Zak shake as I had one of my arms around him while the other held my knife.

Zak - 'I-It's over...'

He whispered to me. His voice was shaky. 

Darryl - 'No. Just be quiet and we'll be ok.'

Zak - 'B-But, V-Vincent.'

Darryl - 'He's in a better place.'

I heard Zak softly cry. This might be the end, for all of us. After he's finished with us, who will he go for next? Dave? Jude? Who knows. 

If we do survive. We will never be able to forgive ourselves. I heard the floor creak as Dream wandered around. It wasn't much longer before we heard Jacob yelling. I needed to help them.

Darryl - 'Zak, stay here. I'll be right back.'

I headed for the door.

Zak - 'Please don't go.'

Darryl - 'I'll be ok, I promise.'

I opened the door quietly closing it behind me. I saw Dream trying to fight Jacob and George. I ran past the couch and into the kitchen kicking Dreams foot making him fall. He immediately faced me as he lied on the ground. His hand formed back to normal and he grabbed my leg. George walked over and stepped on his head. Dream leg go, but we saw his head healing up. 

Darryl - "Thanks."

I was about to run back to where Zak was, but wouldn't Dream follow me there? I stopped myself and followed George and Jacob back upstairs. We went into Georges room this time, and didn't lock the door.

We didn't hide, we stood ready. We heard quick footsteps run up to the door. It didn't open, but it was silent. I saw a shadow underneath the door. He was waiting us out.

I signed to the window and George nodded. He quietly walked over to his chair picking it up and went to break the window as I told him, the door slammed open. He dropped the chair and ran over to help Jacob and I fight. Dream lunged at me and knocked me onto the ground, my head hit the floor pretty hard and while I was struggling to stay alive I felt a warm liquid beneath it. Luckily I'm still conscious. 

I tried kicking Dream off but to no avail. 

Jacob and George tried to pull him off of me but they got knocked back. I used the knife in my hand to stab him in the eye and quickly pull it out. You could already see it healing. Dream then did something to my left arm, I don't know what he did, but it hurt. I yelled from the pain. Then a force knocked Dream off of me, too quick to see. 

I glanced down at who had knocked him off of me.

 Zak?

I watched as he pushed his fingers into Dreams neck and growled at him.

Zak - "STAY AWAY FROM MY FRIEND!"

Zak punched Dream continuously until he got thrown off.

Dream stood up and began circling us.

Clay - "I see you all have gotten stronger. You must have trained, but not good enough, you are still weak and pathetic. You're NOTHING!"

He lunged at the group of us after he spoke in a very scratchy tone, barely understandable. He missed all of us, except for, George.

Clay took no time to fight and bit down into George's neck causing blood to spill everywhere. We heard George choking presumably on his own blood. Jacob immediately took action and kicked Dream off and repeatedly stabbed him. 

I glanced at George before his body became lifeless.

But not soon afterwards, Jacob began slowing down as well. Soon enough, he fell to the ground as well.

Zak - "Oh god, oh god, oh god!"

I glanced at Zak who was in tears and panicked. Something about his looks were different. Within these mere seconds I noticed something, he looked a little like how Dream did. His knees were bent backwards but not half as much. His teeth were sharper and his skin was a bit more pale than normal. 

Zak glanced at me then smiled sadly.

Zak - "Distract Dream, I have an idea!"

I had to listen, seeing there wasn't anymore options. I jumped onto Dream and stabbed at his eyes considering those were his weakest points.

I felt someone grab my hand and instinctively I got off of Dream and followed Zak who was holding my hand, pulling me away. We ran into the bathroom and locked the door. I saw him holding this weird blue and red cube.

Zak wrapped one arm around me and began counting down.

I heard footsteps approaching the door. But as soon as Zak hit five, my vision began to blur and my head hurt.

As soon as I saw the door of the bathroom slam open and Zak hit one, everything went black.

~Friday, Afternoon, 1:48pm (Again)~

I opened my eyes to where we were earlier.

Zak - "I-It worked!"

I heard as Zak began laughing while crying.

Darryl - "W-What happened?"

I heard Jacob yelling.

Zak - "Go help Jacob! Don't ask, just go!"

I slammed open the door and didn't question why George and Jacob were alive again. By instinct I jumped onto Dream and stabbed him repeatedly. I yelled in anger and didn't stop.

George - "Darryl, d-did Zak rewind time?"

I continued to stab this monster, not paying attention to what George was saying. I glanced up at the fridge which we weren't too far from.

Darryl - "Push it over!"

George - "But your in the way!"

Darryl - "JUST PUSH IT OVER!"

George and Jacob pushed the fridge. At the last second I moved out of the way to it landed on top of Dreams head.

Darryl - "He's probably gonna get back up, let's get out of here!"

I ran over to where Zak was.

Darryl - "Come on!"

Zak nodded, got up, and followed us to the back door. All of us tried busting it open, but it didn't work.

Jacob - "We have to get out of here!"

George - "How?!"

I remembered how Dream got in, the window!

Darryl - "Upstairs!"

When he first broke in, we had no clue where he went in, so we ran upstairs to the one we knew was broken, since we didn't know where the other one was.

All of us stood in Jacob's room and near the broken window, glass shards were still sticking out of it, but it was our only chance of survival.

Zak - "W-We won't make it!"

Darryl - "We don't have any other choice!"

It was a far drop, about 20 feet.

We heard a loud crash from downstairs, and footsteps quickly rushing upstairs.

Darryl - "Jump!"

George went first, then Jacob, then Zak. I stood on the ledge and then turned around seeing Dream reaching out his hand, just mere feet away. I quickly faced away, and jumped.
