Insanity

~~~~~

Dream woke up after three days of being unconcious. He immiedietly sat up and looked around in panic. Was he searching for that beast? Or was he just paranoid. He could've sworn he saw blue glow in the corner of the room. He calmed down and turned the lights on. Maybe that will stop his paranoia.

In the morning he was tackled by Geroge and Sapnap, they were complaining about L'Manburg citizens being too boring or something. Dream couldn't ubderstand how could they be boring.

Dream and Wilbur had a little meeting later, which mostly consisted of Wilbur explaining to Dream what happened in these three days he was unconcious. Dream shared the story about the encounter with the beast and tried to explain it's abilities that he knew of to Wilbur.

Wilbur insisted that Dream will stay bedridden until the leader of Dream SMP will be fully healed. Dream complied, the others kept visiting him everyday. He tried to mostly sleep through the entire day. I mean, it was a once in a lifetime opportuinity to do so. Everything was so peacefull. The chaos between the groups no longer there. This is what Dream wanted from the beginning. He didn't want war. He hoped they could stay like this forever.

Dream kept waking up at night at ungodly hours, always seeing that blue glow in the corner. He tried to ignore it, but each night it was getting closer to it. Was he going insane?

One night he woke up yet again and opened his eyes, the blue glow was right in front of his face. He screamed in fear as he curled up on the edge of his bed, hands clutching his head, his body shaking and tears threatening to fall. The glow was there until Wilbur stormed into the room and turned the light on. The president of L'Manburg tried to calm Dream down for an hour before being succesfull. Dream kept quiet about the whole thing, not daring to say the details. They would surely think he was going insane.

There were often times when Wilbur would wake up and find Dream curled up next to him, at the very edge of the bed to not take up much space. Normaly he would be teasing him and calling him cute just to annoy the other leader. But now he just couldn't ignore the situation they were in. Something was definitely bothering Dream and he and everyone else needed to figure out what.

Dream became more and more distant, he avoided everyone. That turned one problem into two. Catching and killing the beast and figuring out what was happening with Dream. Everyone was just worried about him, after spending time together they were friends, if not family, it was natural to worry about one another.

Until one day they found Dream gone. His room empty and the window shattered, the walls scratched as if a wild cat came in and tried to find a way out. They gathered all their gear, horses, dogs and set out on a journey to find Dream. They needed to find him as soon as possible. They couldn't let him be unarmed with that beast still around.
