12:45 A.M.
Antauri woke up to a little noise coming in the Monkey Robot. He walked around looking for anything suspicious. He checked Chiro's room, but nothing was there, except for Chiro. What he didn't know was that Chiro was having nightmares about his childhood.
The nightmare began with the boy, who was 9 1/2. He walked around Shuggazoom City looking for his parents. The boy felt scared and really worried about where his parents are. "Ma? Pa Shem? Where are you guys?" 9-year-old Chiro asked, nervously.
One person came behind him and said, "Your parents are gone, Chiro. They're dead and they're not coming back."
Chiro felt shocked when he heard, but denies it. He said, "You're lying! You're really lying! I don't believe it."
He runs away and looks for his parents until he hit Shuggazom City Cemetery. When he got there, the grave reads, "Here lies Mizka and Shem. May they rest in peace."
Then, Chiro realizes that the stranger was right. His parents is dead. The boy sat down, hung his head down and started to cry. Then, three voices came towards him, haunting him. He looked around and sees a monster chasing him. He was screaming loudly and it chased him. He was running scared and then, fell on a tree. The monster got close to him. He struggles to get free, but it grabbed his leg and dragged him in the ground. He was screaming hysterically and grabbing everything to keep him away from the monster.
Then, after, the monster was gone. Chiro really felt scared and then was cornered by a bunch of masked killers waiting to seize the boy. He was screaming out of control until the haunting music started to play, which made Chiro run away from this.
Bum-bum-be-dum-bum-bum-be-dum-bum
What's wrong with me?
Bum-bum-be-dum-bum-bum-be-dum-bum
Why do I feel like this?
Bum-bum-be-dum-bum-bum-be-dum-bum
I'm going crazy now
Bum-bum-be-dum-bum-bum-be-dum-bum
No more gas in the red
Can't even get it started
Nothing heard, nothing said
Can't even speak about it
All my life on my head
Don't wanna think about it
Feels like I'm going insane
Yeah
It's a thief in the night
To come and grab you
It can creep up inside you
and consume you
A disease of the mind
It can control you
It's too close for comfort
Put on your brake lights
We're in the city of wonder
Ain't gonna play it nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice
The train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter, be wise
Your mind's in disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light
Disturbia
Am I scaring you tonight?
Your mind's in disturbia
Ain't used to what you like
Disturbia

Chiro was cornered by some other monsters waiting to consume him. He said, WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!"
Faded pictures on the wall
It's like they're talking to me
Disconnected, no one calls
The phone don't even ring
I gotta get out
Or figure this crap out
It's too close for comfort
It's a thief in the night
To come and grab you
It can creep up inside you
And consume you
A disease of the mind
It can control you
I feel like a monster
Throw on your brake light
We're in the city of wonder
Ain't gonna play it nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice
The train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter, be wise
Your mind is in disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light
Disturbia
Am I scaring you tonight
Your mind's in disturbia
Ain't used to what you like

The boy struggles to get free, but the monsters corner him and block his escape, which made Chiro even more scared. He was hiding in the tree until a ghost from his parents force him to leave, but he was trapped in the cemetery. Then, the blood-thirsty monster killer got behind him with an ax. He chased Chiro around and tries to get him.
Release me from this curse I'm in
Trying to maintain
But I'm struggling
You can't go, go, go
I'm think I'm gonna, oh, oh, oh
Throw on your break lights
We're in the city of wonder
Ain't gonna play it nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice
The train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter, be wise
Your mind's in disturbia

As the song stopped, Chiro was trapped with no place to escape. The monsters came behind him and underneath the ground, there were hands coming in grabbing Chiro's foot. He struggles to get free, but caught him closer and he falls into a fiery pit of lava. He was screaming loudly, then he woke up, looking scared.
The nightmare was over. He was back in his bed on his room. He pants sharply, feels his sweat dripping from his head and whispered to himself, "It's just a dream."
Then, the door opens unexpected and in comes Nova, Sprx and Antauri coming to check on Chiro. He sighs in relief, then says, "It's just you guys."
"We heard you scream, kid. What's going on?" asked Sprx.
Chiro sighs heavily and said, "It's my childhood nightmares that hanuts the crap out of me."
"Again?" asked Nova.
"Pretty much." answered Chiro.
Antauri looked at Nova and Sprx and said, "Can you give us a moment? Me and Chiro need to talk."
Sprx and Nova walked out of his room, leaving Antauri and Chiro alone to chat. Antauri asked, "What is it about your childhood nightmares that scares you, Chiro?"
Chiro sighs and said, "I don't know any kinds of memories of my past, except my parents. Every night when I think about them, I get bad dreams about it. I don't know what's happening to me, Antauri. I think I'm feeling really scared."
Antauri looked at Chiro and said, "Never feel scared. You just have to face your fears and realize that fear is a natural. Embrace the true robot monkey inside you and never feel alone."
"I guess so. Thanks, Antauri." said Chiro.
"If you need to talk about something, you come to me, Nova, Gibson, Otto and Sprx. Just don't get him involved in any schemes because he can never stop talking."
"I heard that." said Sprx, from behind.
"Wanna hear it again?" asked Nova.
"Whatever."
Chiro chuckled and said, "Thanks, you guys. I guess I should get some sleep, should I? I hope my screaming didn't wake you guys up."
"Not really, kid." said Sprx.
This is inspired by Rihanna's song "Disturbia." It kinda fits into the nightmarish-horror genre. This is my first fanfic from SRMTHFG. Please tell me what you think!
