Chapter 2 - Nightmare ||

I suddenly found myself inside the house, standing in front of the door. Ready to Observe the events that would unfold, which I had witnessed countless times before, my goosebumps multiplied, for the fate of this family. It was indeed tragic.

However, what sent shivers down my spine was not their misfortune, but the looming presence of the entity from this nightmare,

This house was his territory.

What I witness is some strange humanoid figure, with glowing, dark black lines that etched upon their pale skin. These lines twisted and curled, resembling intricate black tattoos.

These figures were Standing before the mother and father, the sights sending a wave of regret in the mother, her lower lip trembling because of the unthinkable presence.

the father didn't do anything better he also stood rooted in his place while his Hands clenched into fists, and his body shook conveying a struggle for control of his limbs .,

The individual in front of them exuded an aura of the chilling void like they would engulf the very existence itself.

Sensing the immense threat, the child's father instinctively activated his skill. His body began to glow with a brilliant blue light, his clothes attached to his skin becoming an additional layer of protection. While another layer of blue covered his body.

This was the mother skill the barriers

With the assistance of her wife, He dashed towards his child, his body suspended in the air. His hands reached out to grab his invisible son, shielded by an illusionary barrier that made him unseen.

His hand was just inches away from his child. He wanted to grab his son and run.

The father hopes a feeble wish to just let his loved one survive.

But in a horrifying twist, his hope was crushed under the immense weight of reality.

A hand adorned with glowing dark lines seized the father's throat, and in the next moment, the neck was crushed with brutal force. The sight almost resembles a jelly that was crushed between palms.

The blood gushes like a morbid fountain from the remaining standing body of the father.

The decapitated head rolls over on the ground.

Finally, It stopped near my foot.

In his final moments, the father's eyes locked with mine, almost as if he could see me. At times, I found myself confused, questioning if he truly could see my presence.

Yet, I disregarded his glares and focused on the unfolding events.

The child's teary orange eyes filled with despair. He visibly trembled in a desperate attempt to move and come to his father's aid. But Fear and intimidation rooted him in place,

His mother was also standing in front of him, assuming a protective posture in front of the menacing figure. Ready to face the adversary

The child senses his mother's life is in danger,

He mustered all his energy and screamed as loudly as he could, calling out, "Mom!"

His voice reached his mother, but she silenced him, (Don't talk! )pleading with him not to talk. Her voice trembled fearing the outcome that his son would have if he was found out.

With a determined expression, she faced the figure

Despite his mother's warning, the child screamed in terror as he saw the figure walking toward his mother.

(don't speak!)begging him not to speak. She kept her back turned towards him.

The child watched in horror as the figure said something to his mother, and in the next moment, a hand pierced her abdomen.

The last words the child heard from his mother were, "Don't talk! "

As I witnessed the next event unfold, the child's parents were dismembered by this human-like figure. They were separating their legs, hands, abdomen, chest, and head, keeping each part separate.

Then, one of the humanoid figures, in a confused tone, asked the others, "Hey, where is the brain?"

I understood what they were discussing—

Another figure, grasping the leg of the child's father, responded with confusion, "Is it here?" while pointing towards the dismembered knee.

"What? That's a joint, you idiot!"

Understanding his mistake, the figure threw away the leg.

"Hey, if you didn't even know where their brain is, why did you choose this mission?"

"Oh, I just wanted the reward anyway. What is this?" He pointed toward the breasts of the mother and expressed his confusion. "What is that squishy thing? I have no idea."

The other figure responded, "Well, I thought you knew."

Throughout the entire process, I watched in shock as they carefully inspected each body one by one.

The child was left traumatised, witnessing his parents being treated as mere objects.

I dismissed them because I knew something terrifying was about to come that I didn't want to experience.

" Not now, please! "

" Please, not today," I pleaded. But my pleas were ignored, and the terrifying voice started echoing all around me, reverberating through the entire world.

Cries and laughter filled the air, the cries of children and the laughter of men and women.

"Haha! haha haha…!! "

"No!" I screamed, fully aware of what these voices signified—the impending arrival of something sinister.

I began to run, filled with fear. My leg shook by simply imagining the entity figure. I was running from the house and from time to time I lost my balance.

"No!" I cried out, but the voices grew stronger. "No!" They escalated until they were as loud as speakers at full volume, and they continued to intensify.

"No!" I knew what was about to come. I ran out of the house and into the narrow alley, sprinting at full speed, the terror etched on my face. "No! Not today!" I fled through the dark alley, desperately trying to escape from the malevolent entity.

"I don't want to see that," I whispered, sighing in relief as I stood outside the periphery of the house I thought I had evaded. It seemed like my luck had finally turned, the first time in this dream that I had managed to escape the looming horror. I raced out of the event before it could even begin.

But my celebration was premature. Suddenly, an invisible force yanked me back into the house once more, returning me to where the child was.

"No!" The laughter and weeping voices persisted, and I made another attempt to escape. However, an even stronger force pressed down on me, preventing my escape.

The volume and intensity of the voices amplified. "Ha ha! Ha! An aa!"

Frantically, I covered my ears with my hands, trying to block out the sound. "No!" I pleaded, rooted in place.

Gradually, the ground around me disintegrated into white particles. "I don't want this, please," I begged, my voice filled with desperation.

Slowly but steadily, the entire landscape converted into small, glowing white particles.

The upper part of the building transformed as well, as a gentle breeze gathered the particles and carried them away.

My surroundings were gradually disintegrating into white glowing particles, a sight I had witnessed countless times before. I hoped I hadn't ended up here again, the echoing voice persisted, the cries fading in the background as the laughter grew louder.

"; Ha ha! Haaa! Haha!"

At this sound, The disintegration process accelerated, and objects started to transform into white particles at an alarming rate, until my surroundings were completely cleared, leaving behind only the child and the bodies of his parents.

Even The body eventually turned into white glowing particles, just like the humanoid figure.

The building, the atmosphere, the ground—all of it disintegrated into small white glowing particles.

"No! No! Please," I pleaded desperately, everything around me vanished. The land itself dissolved into white particles, leaving behind an endless expanse of black space, with only the figure of the child remaining.

"No! "I begged, pleaded, and cried internally. Everything had disappeared, except for that child, standing in the vast emptiness of black space.

Even he began to turn into dust particles, disintegrating until he transformed into sand.

His entire body crumbled, only to gather together and form a laughing figure emerging from the dust. This figure was the one who could see me—the entity.

His eyes were missing, blood streaming from the empty sockets. His nose had been removed, revealing the cavity beneath.

The upper part of his head had been opened, exposing his skull. Glowing white like a star, he had an intricate dark black line etched into his ancient-like structure.

His chest was open, with the skin removed, showcasing his visible ribs. Two hearts beat within his chest, one human and the other multicoloured, emanating a sense of majesty.

His lungs had been punctured like balloons, with bits of flesh hanging out among the ribs. He had a terrifying appearance.

After fixing his gaze on me, he started to walk toward me.

One step. Two steps.

Despite being in a vacuum space, his footsteps echoed.

Of all the individuals in this nightmare, he was the one who could see me,

He was the one I feared the most. The things he had done to me were indescribably terrifying.
