Facing Fears

Chapter 1: Prologue

Fear, is how I was created. It gave me life like a mother putting air in her child's lungs. I lived in a world of fear and utter darkness. My game was supreme children came trying to beat me and they all fell in my web of darkness. Each happy smile turned into a terrified grim face. I saw the spark of joy in their eyes be diminished by my game. Their laughs turning into screams of terror, it was music to my ears. Still they came in flocks trying to defeat me. No one ever defeated me.

Oh such happy times but it didn't end with the children. No, I loved to hunt other characters outside my game. I remember how the characters would dare another to come to my game. Hear their voices brag about how brave they were. Yet, once they stepped in my game all their bragging was nothing more but an ingredient to their own demise. How they screamed and begged for mercy as my web consumed them.

While they screamed I ate their fear growing stronger and stronger. It was a magical time I was unstoppable. Yet that all changed when my game was unplugged. My children had gotten too scared and Litwick had to unplug me and so my reign of fear was over. All the games characters rejoiced thinking I was gone forever. Yet they were wrong fear never dies. I escaped my fate and hid in my game once it was unplugged. My dark room became my hunting ground still. I wasn't giving up my fear.

Of course the unplugging of my game led me to be weakened. So, the shadows hid me from sight. I still fed off fear but I was no more than a ghost. Or the boogeyman to kids, still I survived waiting for a fear that would restore me to my full power. And now I have found such a person. A creature just as fearsome as I am only this creature hides her inner monster by trying to be good. She belongs in the shadows like me but tries to be one with the daylight.

It took many years for me to learn of this creature. The one they called Faye, she would be my salvation. Soon my fangs will bite into her and I will release her inner fears. As she struggles my web will grow stronger as her fear consumes her and then I will feed. Yes, Faye continue with hiding your true nature for it will only make it sweeter when you finally see what you truly are, a monster like me.

Present Day

Faye's P.O.V

I stood all alone in the woods. It was dark yet my yellow eyes allowed me to see everything. "Hello, hello," I called. Only darkness answered my cries so, I decided to walk around to figure out where I was. It felt odd but I think I had been in this forest before. Walking down the darkened woods I looked around to see if anyone was with me. My ears began to twitch as I heard a rustling noise in the distance. "Hello?" I asked. I walked towards the sound thinking maybe it was a character in the game. Maybe they could tell me where I was so I could find the exit and get home. "Whoever is there come out I mean you no harm," I told them. Just then the rustling stopped and I thought maybe it was the wind. Till out of nowhere a huge figure lunged at me. My yellow eyes met another pair of yellow eyes. "No, it can't be!" I cried. It was a Night Beast I was back in their game.

The creature was about the size of a Cy-Bug only had thick dark purple fur. It had nasty fanged teeth with cold yellow eyes, walking on all fours with a hunchback. I was frozen with fear for this creature killed my parents. Anger flashed through my body as I growled at the beast. Yet, I could only whimper as fear took me. "Give in to the fear Faye, you will not escape," the Night Beast said.

"What?" I asked. Yet all I heard was the beast growling raising it's claws across my flesh. I screamed out in pain as they wrapped their massive arms around me. Squeezing me in a massive bear hug, not even my demon strength could save me. My chest screamed in pain as I heard my own bones crunch and snap. All I could do is struggle trying to desperately escape the creature that held me. My fire power couldn't save me. I couldn't even breathe to form a fire ball. My vision was fading as I felt my life draining.

"Give in to the fear Faye, give in you cannot escape," the Night Beast said as it continued to crush me. Blood fell from my mouth as I could no longer feel anything. The sound was nothing but silence and I felt so cold. I was dead and the last thing I remembered before I saw the Night Beast drop my body was the same words spoken before "Give in to the fear Faye, give in to the fear." Then I woke up.

"Faye, Faye wake up please wake up?" begged a voice. My yellow eyes opened as I sat upright. I saw Flame and Ash on opposite sides of me looking beyond scared.

"What, what happened"? I asked still shaking from my dream.

"You were sleeping then you began to scream, we tried to wake you but you weren't waking up," Ash said rubbing his head on my hand.

"We were scared we were about to go get Michael, or one of the others," Flame said licking my face.

"I am fine, it was just a bad dream," I assured them. I looked around my surroundings and saw I was in my nice cave in my game of Heavenly Wars. After I defeated Anthony I was offered to stay with angels but I wanted to be in my cave. The lava and darkness was more suited for my body. Plus during game time I didn't have to travel far.

"Was it the Night Beasts again?" Ash asked.

"Yeah only instead of killing my parents it killed me," I told them.

"Oh Faye," Flame said worry all over her face.

"Don't worry I am okay but we need to get ready, I hear the arcade is about to open," I told them wanting nothing more to end the conversation.

"Okay, we will get in our positions, are you sure you are okay?" Ash asked me looking concerned.

"Yeah, I can deal with a bad dream," I told them. They walked to the entrance of my cave and I got ready. I dove into my lava bath making my skin extra hot so my fire power will be increased. My clothes were the same brown shirt that exposed my belly and shorts with boots. My sword strapped onto my back as I wiped my face from sleep. It was then I felt something weird on the corner of my mouth. It felt wet and warm but not warm like lava. I looked down at my fingers and saw blood, my blood. My mouth was bleeding like I did when I was in my dream. But how did I bit my lip when I was screaming? Yeah that had to be it I just got scared bit my lip or gum and I was bleeding. I shook the thought from my head as I walked up to the entrance of my cave. Any minute now I would see Michael being attacked by demons and I would rush to his aid. He would ask for my help in finding the Angel of Justice and we would go off to the Dark Caves. Still my dream was bothering me but I had to shake it away. "Game face, Faye," I told myself. Unbeknown to me the dream was just the beginning for soon the real terror would begin.
