To Cure Insanity's Broken Heart [A Twisted Wonderland Story]

Chapter 4: 1st Day as Night Raven's Handymen And We're Already In Trouble

(A/N: Sorry that it took me a while to update this. When I heard Twisted Wonderland was getting an English release in the US, I wanted to wait to officially play it so I could write the story, since no one had really uploaded a full playthrough of the English version anywhere the last time I update the story for me to continue. As well, I have so many plans and want to be able to explore more and do more with Reese as a character instead of just having her following the main story all the time. Anyway hope you guys enjoy the chapter!)

That night, in probably the longest ever, I finally dreamed. For as long as I had resided within that prison, I only saw darkness but that night inside of the Ramshackle Dorm, it was different. 

Flames blazed, winds roared; an intense mage fight went on in a desolate land, the forest ruined in the destruction and someone was in danger. A deep loud roar echoed into the night, and it shook me to the core alongside those fighting and the grounds they stood on.

A voice shouted, concern lacing their muffled words as a hulking beast-like figure came into my view, breaking from the tree disguise that hid them well and nearly covered the moon's bright glow.

I knew it, deep inside my heart, I knew who this beast was. 

The beast towered over its enemies, their head rising till it surpassed the height of the remaining trees that stood in the destruction. Its eyes were filled with hatred and evil, and when its jaws opened, black tar-like liquid pooled out, falling to the grassy floor in a steady drip. Too far gone, they were no longer compassionate or caring- they were out for blood and they wouldn't stop till their enemies were ashes.

One last-ditch effort was made to stop this monster but the mages' power was nothing more than a stick being thrown against a stone wall. Nothing could be done and they might've as well accepted their fates then and there.

Just before the growing flame ball was thrown, three voices all shouted together, determination and conviction with the words clearing up for me to hear.

"WE WON'T GIVE UP!"

"Hihihihi... Aren't you two supposed to be off cleaning the school today? "

"Munya.... five more minutes... Ma"

"Go ahead, sleep the day away. And you might not evveeerrrr wake up again."

"Just like us!! Hihihihihi~"

"FUGYA??! The ghosts are back!!!! O-OI heyy!!! Up and at 'em!!!!" The violent urgent shaking woke me back up to reality, even as my eyes were slow to fluttering open and the blurry world took longer to fade back into view. 

Turning on my back, I came face to face with the ghosts from last night, hovering over our bed and Grim was right at the edge.

"So I hear you'll be living here from now on?" The skinny ghost asked, "Hope you like pranks as much as we do! Hya-hahaha!"

"What the hell-??!" I shot up as Grim jumped into my lap to be protected, "You guys came back??!"

"We gotta get rid of these things for good!!" Grim exclaimed, but no second round was allowed to happen as the door opened and Mr. Crowley came in.

"Good morning, you two? Did you sleep well?"

"Not all!!" My roommate exclaimed, "When I was all sprawled out on the bed, the mattress fell through the frame!!! Just how ramshackle IS this dorm?" I snickered quietly, realizing he was making a joke about the name, "And worst, we got woken up by ghosts!"
