Where...what is this place? Melody looked around her, confused and frightened. She could recall faint glimpses of this place in her recent dreams, but this time everything was much more clear and much more real. The air was dead, and all she heard was her heartbeat and the sound of her breathing. A dim purple hue painted her surroundings as she saw nothing around her but the few dead trees feet away from her, then nothing but a void of darkness.
She reached out towards the dark with her right hand, trying to touch it, to convince herself that there was something out there, and not just empty darkness, but as she nervously held her hand out in front of her, her fingers felt a soft chilling breeze, as if it were someone, or something,'s breath. She drew back her hand, clutching it as if something tried to bite her. Then, a soft humming picked up, carrying itself through a soft breeze of wind that picked up from no distinguishable direction. Melody turned her head sharply, trying to determine the voice's location. That tune, that voice. She knew she heard it before. It taunted her for the past week, sometimes as if the owner of the voice were right beside her, and sometimes as if it were somewhere far away. She stood in place, frozen in terror.
What should I do? She whimpered to herself silently, as she tried to remain calm. But no matter what she tried to tell herself, she couldn't move. Couldn't bring herself to seek the owner of that eerie voice penetrating the darkness. She slinked down onto her knees and buried herself in her knees, and began to sob softly to herself. A pair of red eyes watched her, from the dark shadows that surrounded her vision.

Grace tossed and turned in her sleep. Her dreams lately had gotten worse off, leaving her drained each and every morning. For some reason tonight was different. It was.. both special and completely freaky in its own little way. Sleeping should be a way of security but to her it was not anymore. It now hurt her more than helped her, causing her to think about the most hurtful of things. Causing her to wish that sleep didn't exist.
Grim chucked as he tugged on her hearts strings. He played them like a puppet, guiding her to his own little world. "Tonight will be very amusing..." he said with a creepy smile plastered on his face. Tonight would be the first time his "victim" was allowed to leave the security of her world and would now fall into the darkness that he thrived on.
Grace awoke in a barren field. Purple skies, rough ground, dead land. She twitched and stared around her, thinking she had finally flipped. If this was a dream then why the hell did her head feel like it was being pounded on with a hammer? She stumbled around, feeling the dead planet as she tried to find a grip. She noticed something she hadn't before though. Was her mind toying with her or perhaps was there someone else actually there? Sniffling, Grace crawled to the other girl and started curling up next to her. If the unknown girl was hostile then so be it. All she wanted was to know that even if she was insane, she wasn't alone in this place.
"Hello...?" she said almost not wanting an answer. A cold chill was sweeping the area, throwing dust around both of them as it gave chills up Grace's spine. While Grace might not be the most observant of people she had a feeling that the two figures that kept prying into her thoughts had something to do with this place. Even insanity has its own reasons. Perhaps red eyes were another thing to be wary of, as she could have sworn she had saw some that looked just like the ones from the night before. Why do scary things ALWAYS have red eyes? Questioning it to herself was kinda dumb and when she looked again they were gone anyway. Bad feeling rising.

Melody immediately looked up, badly startled by the sudden voice right next to her. She rubbed her eyes, trying to wipe away her tears and turned to the girl next to her. "Wha? Wh-who are you?" She asked in a shaky voice. In all her past dreams of this place, she was always alone. Who was this girl who seemed to appear out of no where? Out of the dark..., she thought, shivering. What if this girl was an illusion? A false hope of comfort and distraction from the darkness that seemed to suffocate her.
Far from the two girls but close enough for it's beady red eyes to still see the two, the creature let out a small pout. Who was this other human and what was it doing, stealing it's spotlight and distracting it's human? Spoil all the fun, why don't you.", It muttered under it's breath, and flew further to the right to better see the two humans.

Grace smiled weakly to the other person. Illusion or not she figured she would make the best of it. None of her dreams had ever seemed so real to her, so touchable. "I'm.. Grace" she said low and broken, curling up into the hard and dead ground. For all the things in the world this place didn't technically scare her. She would wake up she figured, alone as usual. Her fears wrapped inside and hidden from others just like most of her life. But her headache was still uncalled for. Pain in a dream wasn't normal. "Do you.. know.. where we are? This isn't home thats for sure... nor is it very pleasant ..."
Grim glared from his position onto the two girls. He wasn't happy, how could he have fun if an unregistered girl was there to distract him? Sniffing the air he arched his back and lunged at a small, flittering flash of shadow that had moved before him. To the girls he was nothing but cold air air that stung at the back of their necks. "I'll spoil more than your fun" he said as he perched himself on top of the other nightmare.

((XDD so tired of calling my nightmare 'it' so for now, let's just say it's name is Nuit. That's androgynous enough xDD Though i'm thinking it's a she. o_O we'll see I guess >.>; ))
Nuit glared at Grim with red eyes that seemed to glow in the darkness. "What do you want?", it snarled, revealing two small ivory fangs. This new creature was definitely something Nuit didn't expect. And it was clearly not going to allow it to continue tormenting it's human.
"I'm...really not sure" Melody looked at the ground again, still trembling. She didn't trust people easily, but in her current state, she willingly embraced the chance to speak to another living being. "Oh, and my name is Melody." She gave a weak smile before looking around her once more. This must be a dream. but how? It was all far too real.

((Nuit sounds cool actually. o.o ... ))
Grim arched his back up as he sniffed at the bat-like creature that lay before him. His eyes glowed a deep red as it bent over to take a bow. "I want whatever I feel like wanting. At the moment my agenda requires me to torture one of the humans down there. Now.. the only thing in my way is you." he said with a touch of roughness in his childish voice. He went back to crouching then glared down at the two girls. "They look too... happy to have found someone like themselves. I say they deserve a realization on what such horror resides in this place..."
Grace offered a hand to the other girl. "Melody is it? Well I'm glad to meet you.. even if its here. Part of me wants to find out where we are but.. that.. requires moving I would assume. That I don;t feel safe doing" Her shivering was between being cold and scared at the same time. Just because she had no reason to feel that she was in any type of physical danger the mere sight of this place could make the most cheerful people curl up in a ball and cry it seemed.

((yeah? XD it means dark in french. i'm so original. XDD -cough-))
Still glaring at him, Nuit flapped furiously at him, releasing itself from his grip and began hovering in front of Grim, just a tad above him. "True enough. These things are absolutely pathetic and do not deserve such idle comforts. I find no reason for you to have accosted me, however. I was simply minding my own business" Nuit settled on the bare branch of the tree just behind them, hanging to it upside down, as a normal bat would, and hummed quietly to itself, not loud enough for Melody to hear this time.
Melody took the girl's hand, shaking it and then feeling ashamed at her own weak grip. Self confidence was never a strong trait of hers. She sighed. "It's hard enough looking around me at this place. I just want to wake up and have it be morning.", she whispered, as if afraid someone, or something, could possibly hear them.

((Its still cool XD
Sorry for wait on reply's.. my.. brain.. died.. last night trying to find my wallet ><))
While restraining himself from fwapping at the bat with his fingers, Grim continues his glare at the girls instead of turning to face the other nightmare. "Who said I have anything against you in particular? I have something against anyone who dare kill my fun. Though.... its not fully dead yet.." He thought to himself, wondering what to do next. Would tag teaming on the two girls below be just as much fun as tormenting his human alone?
Grace winced, having a strange feeling of both hollowness and that something else had to be there. "Morning.. seems nice to me as well.." She said scratching the back of her head. "If this is a dream then I think we are safe.. who gets hurt in a dream?" She said absentmindidly to both herself and Melody.

((no worries. XD good thing you found your wallet though. ^^; ))
"Oh?", Nuit replied, "Then by all means, continue." Nuit's sensitive ears twitched slightly as it heard the human's comment. It smirked slightly, thinking of how it could shatter this trivial comfort.
Smiling weakly again, Melody nodded, rubbing her arms as if she were cold, though the air was completely dead and without any distinguishable temperature.
((haha. >>; posts are getting progressively shorter.))

((I noticed that >>;;; ))
Grim tilted his head and sighed, knowing fully by now that he was bored out of his mind. He kicked at the dirt beside him and cursed under his breath, pondering still what his options might be. He then finally let out one of his hands, a small ball of shadows emitting from it. What would happen if the girls were cornered? Feeling a sickening sense that they would never wake up? That they would die right here and now? This place might be only acsessed while a human is asleep but pain is not something they are free from. He turned around to Nuit and felt a small, pathetic grim plaster over his face. While he wasn't one to act to social, especially to a nightmare in what he considered his bubble, could he make an exception here tonight? "What shall we do? ... fight each other or torment them together? I give you this choice, creature of the night."
Grace finally decided to move. She slowly kicked away the dust that had settles on top of her and pushed her arms against the ground for support. Eventually she was sort of standing up, halfway looking to to ground in amazement that she had the strength to move. She offered her hand once more to Melody. "Shall we.. look for home?" she said unsure of even her own words. It didn't seem like it was possible to find home but she knew she wanted to be anywhere but here.

(( xD yeah. whoo i can stop calling Nuit 'it' now.))
Melody looked up at Grace, who still offered a hand to her. This girl is far braver than I am. I don't even have the courage to stand up. She sighed, and after a few more moments of inner conflict between taking Grace's hand or staying huddled on the ground, she took her hand and slowly stood up, feeling slightly dizzy. How long had she been sitting? She could feel the tension and strain in her knees as she let go of Grace's hand. "I... suppose", she replied.
Nuit blinked at him, and started to hum softly again. She rarely spoke to others, and the idea of cooperating with this nightmare was most certainly something she'd never think of doing. Well, I suppose there's a first time for everything, she thought. Perhaps this one will go confront them? And I can remain back here. Nuit really did prefer taunting the human from afar as it was much more her style of torture. "M... fighting one another would lead us nowhere so I suppose the only option left is to torment them together." Nuit then flapped her wings and let out an ear piercing screech that echoed across the barren landscape.

(( Public announcement: Gracie feels like a zombie. Not a pun on her newer username. Please see shop thread to learn minor details of her pain and main excuse for not replying to this sooner x_______x ))
Grim made a "meh" sound as he heard the other Terror agree for a temporary truce of sorts. At least this "bat" wasn't as annoying in his opinion as the little girl of pink and needles. She aggravated him to no end. With a twitch of his left eye he lifted himself up to actually stand straight for once. Without even telling his new accomplice of his plans he moved into the shadows, inching closer to the young girls. Now, Grim mainly worked with fears of death. He could technically do many things, whether it be illusion or physical pain with a quick awakening for either girl in the end. Taunting was fun but so was other peoples pain in his eyes. He waved his hand slightly when he got close enough to his liking, a black circular swirl of inky shadow sprawling out from his palm.
Grace smiled faintly as her new escape partner took her hand. She could tell the other was scared but.. well... duh. Grace was scared witless yet kinda refused to literally show that. Before she could take a good step she clutched her head and mumbled a bit to herself. Something was starting to happen. As she slowly sunk back to the ground she winced. It felt as if she was cold as ice, that her heart was about to leap out of her ribcage.

((o.o; oi hope things get better. >>; ahaha xD getting closer to the 10 post requirement. ))
Nuit remained in her place on the tree branch, watching the other as he moved. At the site of his slight twitch Nuit cocked one of her ears slightly in modest curiosity. As a dark shadowy swirl formed in his palm, Nuit yawned slightly, then turned her gaze back to the two humans.
Melody jumped slightly as she quickly turned her head left and right to find the source of the screech that shattered the dead air. "Did you--" She turned to Grace and gasped at the site of her new companion wincing on the ground. Unsure of what quite to do, she knelt in front of her to see what had happened.
"Ah... I see", Nuit thought, seeing the other human kneeling in pain. With a slight smirk, she then began to softly sing a lullaby infamous to the human she constantly tormented. The unearthly voice filled the air until it was no longer distinguishable where the voice originated. It simply became one with the atmosphere as Melody felt her heart skip a beat, feeling as if the shadows surrounding the area were closing in on her. She blinked with more force than necessary as if to chase away her coming tears, trying to focus only on what was wrong with the other girl rather than break down again from hearing that strange aria.

((I thought that was for journal posts? It counts here as well? >>; -doesn't feel that bad for not being able to post in her journal lately now- x_x ))
Grace felt sick, dizzy and ridden with pain. Grim wasn't sure on how to torment her. He wouldnt admit that despite his power he never really had tested it out on his "pet" like he was trying to do right now. Of all the things he could have chosen to have done, he figured the sickening sensation of extreme pain was the least he could do for the time being. He was rather amused at Nuit and her choice of abilities. While the song was pure torture for Melody it was pleasant to his ears.
Grace coughed and struggled to try and stand up again. As she forced herself to check on Melody she couldn't even tell what the hell was going on. What was happening to her? Why was her new companion crying? She heard nothing, only the pulse of her heart throbbing in her ears. "I.. don't want to give up.. not yet" She said crying a bit. She missed her parents but... not this much, not enough to give up ... right? "Melody......"
Grim sighed and flicked the little shadow in his palm with one of his claws. Perhaps he didn't know what he wanted tonight. Torment was fun but.. what fun is it if you have no satisfaction in giving it to others? He was a terror of death! A creature of pure darkness, something meant to give chills to the young and old. Yet for some reason he was feeling... odd. Not soft, just pissed that he wasn't getting his way. First Faint and now Nuit. How many others would he meet and share room with? How long would he allow it?
