Chapter 34 - Chapter 34. Eternal Nightmares (3)

*Boom!*

Awaken in the middle of the night by a sudden noise coming from downstairs, sweat beaming down Kim face as he feel his throat dry as the Sahara desert.

He wipes the sweat off of his face, looking around, he noticed Luc Mugen and Uma Micheal gone, they weren't by him anymore.

"Huh… it's the middle of the night…" He thought, getting out of his bed, he also notices that Vas Allen was gone as well. His futon was empty yet it still have some warmth.

"Where are they?" He uttered under his breath.

*Boom* Once again, he heard the same noise that have awaken him.

"Wha— what's going on?" He look around his room, it's the same as when he gone to sleep. He walked up to the door, looking at the doorknob, he slowly grab the doorknob and twist it, pulling it toward which open the door.

*Boom* The noise got louder, "it's coming from the downstairs…?" He looked out into the dark long hallway. Kim was reluctantly to leave his room because he felt as if something wrong.

"Was the hallway always this long? I should turn on the lights." Slowly he prepared himself and walked out of his room, he headed for the light switch and flicked it up, but the lights didn't turn on.

"Uhhhh— …so uhhh…" Kim peered over at the long dark hallway, trying to see the end of its, yet it seem endless…

He repeatedly flicker the light switch ups and downs. *Flicks* *Flicks*

"Dammit… it's not working… why did I expects it to turn on when it didn't work the first time?" He said, slowly after a while he stops trying to turn on the lights, with one last *Flicks* he put his hand off of it.

*Boom* The sound got louder yet it was still coming from the downstairs, the sound ring along side Kim ears, as it echoed throughout the hallway, disappearing into the endless darkness of the hallway.

"I feel as if… I should investigate the noise but… Imma not do that. I'm lowkey scared right now." Slapping himself in the face, "Why am I talking to myself?"

Kim tried to walk back into his room but he couldn't find the door, he placed his hand along the wall and tried to find it but no luck.

He placed his finger under his chin trying to think about what to do next. Though as dumb as it sound, Kim just realized that his legs was moving on its own.

"Uhhh… what's going on?" He tried to stop his leg from moving but it wouldn't listen, it continued to walk down the endless hallway, after a moment, his legs have finally meet the stairs that lead downstairs.

"No- no! I'm not going down there! Where are Vas Allen and the other?" His legs slowly waked down the stairs, with each steps, it increases Kim anxious.

"Why can't I stop my legs from moving? First I want to move now I don't want to move, make it make sense!" Kim finally reach downstairs, the narrow hall prologue itself, what used to fill with nostalgic is now just a mere darkness that fill up the hallway.

Kim looked around, he couldn't see any other doors, he couldn't see the kitchen door, bathroom door, the dinner room door, all he could see was the living room door… and he was slowly walking toward it.

The living room door was wide open, Kim could see the TV light flickering, it shine so brightly, it lit up the room… yet the lights got this blurry and glitching vibes oozing out.

Kim could feel the intensity, the moment he enter that room, he knows something bad is going to happen…

His legs finally froze stop upon reaching the the entrance of the room, he stood there contemplating wether to enter or go back upstairs—

"…Dammit, I know I shouldn't do this but… [What's the worst that can happen?] Kim said, he took a step foward, and another, and another, each steps is getting closer and closer to crossing the entrance of the room.

Once he go inside the room, he felt as if… he would see something, something that will repeat…

With some hesitation, he didn't look back, he took his finale steps. Kim was now inside the room, he stood there looking at the TV that illuminated the room.

He stared at the TV yet the screen shown him nothing but just a bright light, glitching and blurry but nevertheless, bright.

Kim turn his focus somewhere else, he looked around the room, slowly walking to the center, once he reach there.

*Boom!* The noise he heard was coming from behind him, he looked back at the door but there wasn't any door, rather just a wall, simply a wall that wasn't special nor different from the others.

"What the h*ll…" Kim for some reason didn't check it out, he, for some reason brush it off, turning his head back at the TV. He saw five familiar silhouettes standing in front of him.

"Vas? Luc? Uma? Mom? Dad?" Kim for some reason got this strange feeling lurking down his spine. He called out to his loved one but they didn't respond back.

He called out for them once again but the result was the same. "What are you guys doing, simply just standing here?" Kim asked but the rest didn't say anything so he continued, "You guys standing here… is kinda creepy…"

Kim didn't realize it at first but they was holding a knife, five shiny sharp blade were in the hand of their fingertip. "Are they going to stab me?!" Kim thought to himself.

"What's going on guys?" Kim even though he knew it was fake, tried to talk to them as real people… because deep down, Kim felt as some of the moments were real…

Vas Allen silhouette was the first one to move, it walked toward Kim making him step back a little, he steps back until his back have reach the wall.

"Vas?" Kim said in fright, his voice was trembling but Vas Allen was still walking toward him, Kim was back into the wall, his mind couldn't even form logical thoughts, it's just froze up.

Vas Allen came faced to faced with Kim. Kim looks up and down at him, seeing if any change have occurred to him but he look just the same as any other days.

Before Kim knew it, Vas Allen raise the knife up into the air, Kim give out a startle reaction. Before he could process his thoughts, blood splattered all over him, his body cover in warm red bloods.

He slowly looked at his hand then his arm then his body, he let a blood curling scream. His scream could be heard from outside of the house… if there even is an outside.

Looking down toward the ground, the organs from Vas Allen splattered out. Vas Allen body flops to the ground, as the knife deepen inside him.

"Vas?! Vas?! What's going on!!!" The nightmares didn't end there, he couldn't even let out a thought for Vas Allen death, looking up, the silhouettes that was standing in front of him, all have their head chopped off of their body's.

"AHHH!!! WHAT'S GOING ON!!!" Kim let out another frightening scream, he didn't know what's going on, all of this happen in mere seconds. He saw his loved one kill themselves in front of his eyes.

*Boom!*

Waking up from a nightmare. Kim let out a scream, waking up all the peoples that's was currently sleeping inside of that house. "Kim what's wrong?!" Vas Allen said, concerned about Kim recently mood swings.

"I- I don't know… I just have this nightmare…" Kim said.

"What's wrong?" Kim mom came jolting into Kim room. Kim dad also asked the same question. Kim told them that he just had a nightmare, Luc Mugen grabs Kim hand and patted his own head with it.

"Thank you Luc." He said with a smile, but before this happy moment could last. Kim saw Luc Mugen head flying, the rest followed up alongside him.

Kim smile turn to a frightening frown, his body trembling uncontrollably. "Luc… Vas…" He looked around but all he could see was blood splattered all over the room. All he could feel was the warm bloods that became cold after a moment.

Shaking up by this, he heard a familiar noise.

*Boom!*

He saw his loved ones died over and over and over and over and over and over and over AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER, OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER, OVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVER…

OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER!!! JUST KILL ME ALREADY!!! I SEEN ENOUGH!!! OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER…

Kim loved one's death now reach a trillions… and maybe even more because at this point, he lost counts of all their deaths. All he could do was to mutter the same words over and over and over and over and over and over and over… AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER… and over and over and over and over and over once again…

Kim thought to himself, "Just how much more will he see his loved one died? Just how much more?" He couldn't do anything, in fact, he is simply worthless, during this time, his life was nothing more than a larva… actually it was lower than a larva… it was simply nothing.

He wrapped his arm around his body, tighten it. He curl up in a ball yet he was still hugging himself, his mind was filled with one word and that was "Over."

While pitifully curling himself up into a ball, Mugen repeatedly tap his finger onto the table.

"Human emotions is disgusting!" He said. Mugen got our of his seat and nonchalantly strode over to Kim curled up body, he pitifully looked at Kim body with disgust.

"What used to be a human is now a worthless larva!" Mugen said.

The {white text} told Mugen that he need to save Kim or something bad going to happen to him.

"Why should I care? He wanted to die didn't he?"

This is no time to be arguing! Just save him you worthless bum, you're simply living off of him in his body!!!

"Should you really be talking to me that way… matter of fact, him being like this would be better." Mugen said with a devious grin.

How you going to tell him not to die but you keeping him this way? Isn't a bit contradicting of one selves?

Mugen smack his lips, "You know, you're really annoying…" Mugen knows that he couldn't let Kim stay in this condition, was it love? Did he finally-

"Shut it!!!" Mugen let out a groan sighed, he don't want to do this but… he know he got to. He raised the back of his hand, slightly, he tap the "Night Dreamer." Domain that was placed on Kim, shattering it.

See, you're not really a bad guy-

"Just shut it, what happen next is up to him. I could kick him and wake him up right now but I want to see him suffer a little bit more. Sadly I did have to break the "Night Dreamer." Curse."
