Once her vision was clear enough, Nights realized she was talking to a giant pink spider who, despite her nightmarish and spidery features, would've been very pretty. "How are you feeling?" the spider asked. She smiled when she noticed Nights' curious look. "Yeah, I get that a lot. My name is Queen Bella. Please don't forget; it's Queen Bella."

"That's a nice name," Nights commented and smiled the best a feeling less girl could. "My name is Nights. If you don't mind me asking, what exactly are you? And where am I?"

Bella wasn't at all surprised. "I am a Nightmarien, a creature born from the darkness and fear within Visitor. Right now, you're in the castle of Nightmare, the home of all the Nightmarien."

"Really?" Nights asked. "I thought that a nightmare would've been dark and frightening."

"Well, I guess it's because of your ideya of courage. You're probably too brave for your own good."

The 12 year old looked at her bedsheets. "Brave? Now I know you're joking."

Bella turned to her, one brow raised. "Why would I lie about the ideya of courage? It's the most powerful sort there is, so far."

"I have no real courage. I can't even stand up to my aunt and uncle."

Now Bella looked at her concernedly. "What do they do to you anyway? And where did you get these terrible wounds?"

Nights was silent for a moment. "I don't want to talk anymore," she mumbled and threw her bed sheets off of her.

Bella was surprised as she tried to gently push the Dreamer back into her bed. "You can't get up yet! Your wounds haven't completely healed!" she tried to reason but the stubborn girl would not yield.

"I've had worse wounds (I think). I can handle this." Pushing against the spider Nightmarien best she could, Nights eventually was able to stand up. She smirked at Bella with as much emotion as she could muster-which wasn't a lot but luckily, Bella didn't see that. "I told you I could do it," she bragged and began to walk around to show off some more. "See? I'm fine."

"Well, if you feel fine why don't you go meet our master, Wiseman. I'm sure he'll be...interested in a Visitor like you," Bella grinned, almost sneering.

Nights, however, took no notice. "Yeah! Why not?" she "chirped" and headed for the door when someone suddenly came in and she crashed! Nights groaned a bit before she opened her eyes, only to meet an angry glare.

"What in the name of Nightmare was that for?!" the being scolded threateningly, making Nights feel uneasy somehow.

It was Reala.
