((Just occurred to me about copyrights, aw shiet.
MIRAI NIKKI AND ITS CHARACTERS DON'T BELONG TO ME, they belong to Sakae Esuno, and it'll remain that way for the rest of my fanfic obviously, so no need to keep repeating this. Sooo hope you enjoy and tell me if you did~))
I ran as fast as my feet would let me, because the soles were starting to burn by now. I could hear my gasps and my body aching and basically shouting at me to stop running, but if I did they would get me and that was my fuel. Please, wake up, please... I knew what it was though, it was no nightmare and I knew it wouldn't end so soon, not until I collided against something really hard. Sometimes I hoped it wasn't a car, sometimes I hoped it was a bus or a train. I couldn't run anymore, I couldn't, tears were starting to fall as I pushed my body beyond its limit. Make it stop... I yelled back at the shadows approaching for them to fuck off, but they only laughed at me. I was clutching my palms so hard I thought the skin beneath it was going to rip, and around me the skies were blood red with dark clouds and creatures flying everywhere... I was just an idiotic virgin girl with a "pure" soul, and they were going to rip it off me painfully and slowly, along with my bowels and hit me so hard just in the right places to make me cringe and clench my teeth in horrendous pain... It was another vision, I hated having visions during these times. It was about to get real though.
- OOF - I heard this thud sound and closed my eyes and stumbled on my feet, falling desperately on the bike and its owner. I didn't want to open them again, I just clutched the metallic structure close to my chest, it was too heavy to use as a weapon, so all I could do was cling to it. I didn't know how long it took, probably just a few seconds, but in my head months had passed as I clinged to my dear life and this stranger's bike - A-are you okay?
Startled at the soft male voice, my lids blinked open and I looked up. The sky was blue, partially cloudy, but you could see sunshine running over the buildings and... An angel. It had snowy hair and reddish eyes, a perfect face and it was hovering over me, light was making shadows through its hair as the breeze messed it up a bit. I felt my face grow hot contemplating this angel. And then it hit me, I was back to the real world, I shivered and stuttered as I looked around, the streets were kind of narrow and beautiful and there were people walking, holding bags, smiling, frowning, talking, kids playing or crying, it was all so beautiful I started sobbing and crying. I was a mess, but it felt wonderful.
- Hey! Are you hurt? Don't worry, I'll get you to a hospital - the angel spoke and crouched closer to me, trying to examine me as I stared up with my face all wet and red.
- No, I'm fine, I'm just so relieved - I answered with a shaky voice and smiled at it, it seemed confused, but its face wouldn't show much. I giggled - You saved me, I could never thank you enough.
- ... I just nearly ran over you with my bike, that's hardly something to be thankful at all. The least I could do is take you to the hospital, come, here we go - it grabbed me gently and I was surrounded by the warm breeze of the afternoon, and being held by an angel, I felt so blessed. It probably thought I hit my head though, because it kept frowning and didn't understand why I felt that way.
Finally at the hospital, it was all so white and clean as usual but after passing through THAT, it all seemed way greater than usually. I was admiring it when the doctor called my attention clearing his throat, the angel was next to him with a concerned look. It belonged here, in this place that looked so close to heaven.
- Young lady, can you hear me? - the elder doc asked, and I nodded looking back at him - What is your name?
- Bonnie.
- Alright. Bonnie, you don't have any serious bruises, nor broken bones, but I'd like to keep you under observation. Have you drunk or eaten anything weird today or recently? - well that was rather alright, people always looked at me weird after those events.
- No.
- Where is your family? Parents?
- Dead - and there was that pitiful look again, I didn't even mind it right now, I was back and I simply grinned kindly - It's okay, I'm okay on my own, and my onii-san keeps a watch over me.
- I'm gonna need your onii-san's number, if you can recall it, or any other way to contact him - I reached for my pocket and grabbed my phone, after looking at the details of the familiar device with a soft gaze, I found my brother's number and handed it to the doctor. He smiled and grabbed it, pressing the call button and bringing it to his ear, as he walked slightly away. Now it was me and the angel, it approached calmly.
- Bonnie-chan, I'm Akise Aru. I'm really sorry for this - it had a name, I looked longingly at it and shook my head.
- Don't be sorry, you saved me...
- From what? - it snapped kind of apprehensively, I frowned. Weren't angels supposed to know a person's mental suffering?
- From the Death Realm. I was stuck in it, and you saved me the moment you woke me up... - Akise looked even more confused, and suddenly I wondered if it was an angel at all. It sure did look like one, and had the aura of one - You're not an angel, are you? - he blinked surprised and then stiffled a chuckle.
- Hardly. I'm just a normal student. I was coming back from school when I hit you. What did you say about a Death Realm? - we were interrupted when the doctor came back and eyed me curiously, so he had reached my brother.
- Miss Bonnie, your brother told me all about it. So you suffer from the Nightmare Fuel disorder - I looked away nervously and he sighed - Aren't you taking medicine for it?
- ...It never really worked, it just made them last less, I stopped taking them for a couple of months now.
- How long have you been hallucinating this last time? - I shrugged - Well Miss Bonnie, the only advice I can give you is that you start taking them again. Sometimes the effect takes time to kick in, but it'll definitely help you in one way or another. That, or I'll have to call the nearby clinic...
- No! Please, don't! - I looked back at him helplessly. I've been through a clinic soon after my parents died, I was only 4, and the Death Realm there was way stronger. After my onii-san visited me a few times, he decided to adopt me and help me. After they came up with some pills for it, he allowed me to live by myself, since he had a whole healthy family and I knew I was being a bother there. I couldn't go back now to the clinic.
- What is my guarantee you'll take them? We can't have you running on the streets and causing accidents or worse - I sobbed quietly, my brother had his work, he couldn't keep an eye on me and they probably already discussed that.
- ... I'll guarantee it - our heads tilted towards the angel, I mean, Akise. He was staring at me curiously and determined, I blushed.
- Mister... Akise Aru, right? But I thought you didn't know her...
- I recognize her now, she's from my school - he said, I frowned, he couldn't possibly be telling the truth.
- I see...
- I'll be around her since I have loads of free time, and at school I'll be able to keep a close distance. Is that ok, Bonnie-chan? - Akise asked sweetly, and I could only nod because my words were stuck in my throat.
- ...I don't see a reason to oppose. I'm just gonna have to talk to her brother.
- I'll talk to him too, he'll probably want to meet me first - Akise, why? Why being so kind? You said you're not an angel, but...
We were now walking home, Akise insisted to scort me there and tomorrow onii-san wanted to have us for dinner. It's like we were married now, I looked at him from the corner of my eyes, he didn't seem the slightest disturbed, but I could sense he wanted to ask me everything about my disorder. And he was so impeccably handsome...
- Bonnie-chan - it didn't surprise me, he was itching to start talking to me.
- Yes?
- Were you born with it?
- I'm not sure. My brother said I seemed an agitated baby, but that doesn't say much. And my parents weren't around anymore by the time I was 4, so...
- ...What is it like? - I quivered a little - Sorry, if you don't want to...
- It's the least I can do for your kind commitment - I answered quickly and sighed heavily - The first time I could identify it, the only thoughts in my mind were terror and definitely a different dimension, it wasn't this one right now, it wasn't even Earth. Though it looks like a deformed version of it, I just knew it wasn't. It's pretty much like you can imagine the worst scene in a horror flick, the skies are dyed crimson and the clouds are so black they look like blackholes, and there are... Things flying around. Sometimes they look like demons, sometimes like horses, sometimes a pig or a sea creature. I-I know it sounds fucking crazy...
- No, it's your hallucination, nobody has the right to call it crazy - I flushed and nodded, hallucination was such a strong word for me, it made me feel even crazier. There was silence and I could read his thoughts enticing me to go on.
- For a few moments I'm just taking my surroundings, but then I call their attention. I'm not sure if they are anything like those flying creatures, but they look like shadows, creepy shadows of dead children and babies, missing one eye, missing several limbs, it doesn't matter. Sometimes they have the face of animals or threatening weapons. I can feel their rage for my life and I can read their minds telling me I didn't have the right to live when they couldn't. They accuse me of taking something precious from them and start chasing me, ready to disembowel me in front of my eyes, and I run. I run for days on end, feeling their malicious desire for my soul all around me, just a step from grabbing me. Mind you that it doesn't exactly last days or weeks, mostly just a couple of hours, but it doesn't feel like it - I suddenly take a deep breath, as if I was saying all of that without breathing. Maybe I was. I feel one arm of his hug my shoulders closer to him.
- It's enough. Thank you for sharing and... I'm terribly sorry. You're gonna take your medicine and I'll help you, I won't let you wander around in that nightmare.
((Bonnie is back! It was my only OC, oh well... I'll be posting this and the next chapter and wait for some feedback, I have a lot of chapters written for this one, which is funny comparing to my other fanfics, so PLEASE review because I need to know what you think. It may seem kind of lame, but I really liked the idea, and of course that disorder is not real. I had fun writing it and some people said it was good, so here it is. Hope you enjoy somehow ^^" beigos))
