Nightmare.
Yeah, you've heard it all before! I bet your thinking,
"Replay?"
"Why is there a monster?"
That, random person no.12,
is the DREAM EATER
Exaggeration?
Nah! I don't do that.
But dream eaters do.
I woke up to the sound of the calling salesman shouting outside. The instant call at 7am from the mayor of the small village of hermville was annoying, get up, eat, sleep, work, that was our day,
Until today
I woke up speaking in weird language that even I could not understand, it wore off in an hour
but that monster
it was a thing that kept me awake at night
I cried myself to sleep once, just waiting.. for it to come back
Of course, it did.
again
and again
and again
I needed help.
And fast.
Welcome to Episode 2 of Dream Eaters!
Chapter One: The oncoming beliefs
I was told when I was 7 to and become known, to get friends, to get family, now I am 19, I still do not have that, only Maxwell, my friend.
Max had been my friend since I was 8, we've always helped each other, I just hoped he could help me now. Maxwell lives in the house at the other side of the village, I ran there to see him, I was weak.
I knocked on his door and he brought me inside, he asked me what was wrong, I told him everything, which took multiple hours.
"So... these nightmares keep on coming?"
"Yes" I said.
"Hmm.. Why not talk to the Mayor?"
"He wouldn't care"
"Why not?"
"He's filthy rich" I scowled. "He can replace me"
"No-one could replace you"
I blushed and looked down.
"Fine. But could you come with me?"
"All the way"
Max put a blanket around me, I was becoming weak again, he walked me to the Mayor's house, where the guard at the door told the mayor that we were here.
I sat down in the chair, awaiting a response. Max was sitting next to me. The Mayor leaned forward and security blocked the door.
"Leave" said the Mayor to the security.
I was too afraid to talk. He was demanding.
"Your honour?" Said Max.
The mayor looked at him.
"My friend here, her name is Katelyn, she--"
"Ah, Katelyn! I have heard of you! You have raised a lot of profits for the village."
"Th-Thank you sir.." I was very weak. "I'm.. quite sick."
"We don't know what it is." Said Max.
"Is it contageous..." said the Mayor,
"We... don't know, your leige"
"Go to the city." he said.
This was what I was worried about. He didn't want all his village to suffer, but, why care about ONE person?
"Sir, please" said Max
"Let her stay, there must be something..."
"Max.." I said
"We have no choice, let's go."
