Chereads / I Inherited A Dream System / Chapter 70 - Wraith

Chapter 70 - Wraith

Susie Walters: A Wraith, in my school?... It's unacceptable! (Susie thought in anger, her fists clenched tightly as she remembers when Fred came into her office, with a Wraith hanging around his shoulder)... Calm down, Susie. You can't act rashly... I have to find out who it belongs to, and have them get it out of my school! Otherwise, it's dead! (Susie thought with a glow of rage in her eyes)

Toby stares as the shadowy creature in disbelief, unable to comprehend what he was looking at right now.

Toby Robinson: What the heck is that? (Toby asks in fear)

[Warning: You Are In The Midst Of A Very Dangerous Nightmare Being, A Wraith]

[Be Wary]

Toby Robinson: A Wraith? What is that? (Toby asks the system)

[Wraith: A creature of nightmares which can feed off the greatest fears of others, using them to gain a physical form. They will often attach themselves to a host, but can swap if the host is unviable]

Darasimi Daniels: Something feels wrong. (Darasimi thought as she took a couple steps back, feeling uncomfortable around the teacher)

The whole class is bombarding Fred with questions at this point, but Darasimi can sense something wrong with this man. She doesn't know what, but the feeling of dread is very strong.

Darasimi Daniels: This feeling is familiar, it reminds me of that dream I was in. (Darasimi thought as she remembered the shadowy creatures she encountered in a dream, which were unlike anything she has ever seen before, and now she is experiencing the same level of fear)

Toby Robinson: A nightmare being, and it is feeding off the fears of Mr Clover... But what does that mean, he seems fine to me. (Toby pondered before taking a closer look at Mr Clover's expression)

The school teacher seems to be happy, but looking closely one would notice that he has bags under his eyes, and his smile looked forced. As he was moving to sit down, he winced a bit, a sign that he must be in some kind of pain, but he is trying very hard not to show it.

Fred Clover: Okay everyone, take your seats. (Fred tells the class)

"Aww." (Most say as they all head back to their seats, all glad to have their biology teacher back)

Fred Clover: Okay guys I know I've been gone a long time, and I think you all deserve an explanation for that. You see, I was involved in an accident, and although it wasn't that serious, I was in a bad place. (Mr Clover explains to the class)

Lerange Smith: Bad place? Is something wrong with you, teach? (Lerange asks in concern)

The rest of the class begins to ask questions, all wanting to know more about Fred's accident, which he never fully explained.

Fred Clover: Bad place was the wrong word to use, I was just, healing. Physically, and mentally. I'm still trying to cope with what happened to me, but I know that spending time here with you guys, is bound to do me a lot more good than just sitting at home alone. Now, without further adieu, let's begin this class. (Mr Clover said as he got up from his seat, walking towards the whiteboard with his marker)... Is everyone ready? (Mr Clover asks with a smile)

The whole class cheerfully replies to the question, but Toby is just staring at the teacher in horror. Because now the Wraith is smiling in a twisted grin, it's clawed hands tightly wrapped around the teacher's neck.

***********

Silas Gravestone: So let me get this straight, you have a problem with a Wraith, and you want me to handle it? (Silas asks over the phone, his eyes currently glowing red)

Susie Walters: I believe that I was clear enough with my request, so just tell me if you can take care of it. (Susie tells him from the other side of the line)

Silas Gravestone: It is not an easy thing to take care of a Wraith. If it was mine I could just summon it back, but without finding out who it belongs to, I can't chase it off. (Silas explains)

Susie Walters: I have an agreement with your grandfather, this is breaking the terms of our deal. Fix this soon, before I destroy that abomination! (Susie snaps before hanging up the phone)

Silas Gravestone: (Sighs) Any ideas, Harry? (Silas asks the older gentleman, who stood before him)

Harry: I could ask around, find out who the Wraith belongs to. (Harry offers)

Silas Gravestone: I'll do the same, right after I'm done with school. (Silas tells him)

Harry responds with a bow before vanishing into thin air, leaving Silas alone in the restroom he was in. Silas's eyes turn back to normal, as he prepares to leave.

Silas Gravestone: This could become a problem, better solve it fast. (Silas says before he exits the stall he was in, passing a guy who is washing his hands in the sink)... What are you looking at?! (Silas tells him with a glare, deterring the guy's gaze)

Susie Walters: Calm down, calm down, calm down! (Susie repeats in anger, her glowing blue eyes dimming and brightening with each breath she took)

Meanwhile with Toby Robinson, the young Dreamer is glaring at the shadowy nightmare being known as the Wraith, watching as the monster hovers behind Fred Clover, maintaining physical contact with him at all times.

The Wraith doesn't seem to be able to hurt him, but it's presence still puts Toby on edge, he hated seeing it around Mr Clover, knowing exactly what it was doing to him. Toby felt like he needed to do something about this, but what could be possibly do.

And that's when Toby remembered something, something that could help him get rid of this Wraith.

Toby Robinson: I got that skill from the system, but I never found the right time to test it out. But how can I use it now? It's complicated. (Toby thought to himself)

[Dream Sharing: This skill will allow the Dreamer to share a dream with anyone they choose, but the subject must be asleep first]

[Sleep: Will put anyone to sleep with a simple gaze]

Toby Robinson: I've got a strong feeling that this will work. (Toby thought to himself, before taking another look at the Wraith)... I've got a bad feeling about fighting that thing. Nightmare beings are completly unknown to me, there's no telling how strong it could be, or if I could even defeat it. But I do know one thing for sure, that monster is hurting the kindest man I have ever met, and if I don't try and save him, then what is the point of having these powers... Get ready, Wraith. Cause I'm about to blast you into oblivion! (Toby thought as his eyes glowed blue with energy)

Darasimi Daniels: Guess I'm not the only one who noticed It... Just who are you really, Toby Robinson. (Darasimi wonders as she stares at Toby, with a glimmer in her eyes)

Next: Sleep.
