The Nightmare Chronicles
Tales revealing how Jackle went insane, how Reala became heartless, and how NiGHTS was marked a traitor
Book one: Jackle
Prologue:
Nicholas stood in the center of the laboratory, eyes screwed in concentration. Of course, this was his dream laboratory that he had worked so hard to create. If it wasn't, he wouldn't be torturing the defenseless little beast now, would he? Nor would there be any 'torture' devices on the walls, or experiments in cages.
Unfortunately, the DAMN Humane Society was doing all these unnecessary INVESTIGATIONS, so the only place Nicholas could torture his experiments was in his sleep.
"Heh," he snickered, looking down at the animal that was strapped to the table. Its eyes were wide with fear, and it was shaking as it looked at him. "let's take this needle," Nicholas continued, filling an enormous injector with a luminous, green goo. "and see what happens when we pump a gallon of toxic waste into you." He was about to shove the needle into the beast's stomach, when-
"Sir!" Nicholas whirled around. A female wearing a white lab coat similar to his was standing behind him, holding a file.
"Roxanne!" Nicholas snapped, putting down the injector. "What have I told you about interrupting my work?!"
"But sir," Roxanne continued, fidgeting slightly. "remember those creatures that you wanted to experiment on?"
"Mm, yes," Nicholas mumbled absently, trying to remember. "Nightmaren, weren't they called? Yes, Nightmaren."
"Well," Roxanne continued, holding out the file to Nicholas. "we think we've found one."
When Nicholas opened the file and saw the picture inside, he grinned insanely and laughed. "Yes! This one'll do PERFECTLY!"
To be continued...
Author's note: It gets a lot more exciting later on, I promise...don't die of boredom...XD
