Chapter 8: Fighting for you
Louise knelt on the cool floor of the nursery, tears still streaming down her flushed cheeks. She couldn't believe they were gone... That they had just left her alone... It was like her worst fear had come true. Losing all of them. "We'll be with you forever! I promise!" She thought of the promise Josh had made when they had first met, images flashing through her head of that day. Even though she was only four years old at the time she remembered everything. The promise echoed in her head before her head snapped up in realisation. "This isn't real..." She whispered. She suddenly rose to her feet and wiped her eyes, looking around frantically. "Their faces... Weren't their faces! I have never seen them look at me like that before and i know they never will!" A blinding light began to fill the room and Louise smiled. "Well. Here goes nothing!" She grinned before she ran straight for where the light was emitting from. Shouting 'Geronimo' as she went.
The angel fell from the ceiling and landed with a thud. She groaned and slowly lifted herself onto her knees. She rubbed her head and groaned looking around. "Where am i?" She asked no one in perticular. She continued looking around but couldn't see anything considering how dark it was. "Why is it so dark?" She questioned as she finally stood to her feet. She heard quiet weeping coming from the left and decided to go and investigate. She recognised the small whimpering voice. "Jinx?" She asked cautiously. The weeping stopped and Louise could make out someones head shooting up. "Louise?" She heard Jinx ask in amazement. The angel nodded but remembered about the darkness. "Yeah." She said. She was then caught of guard as a pair of arms wrapped around her body in a hug.
She felt her sobbing into her shoulder and rubbed her back. "It's ok. Jinx. This isn't real. No of it is. This is a dream and u know you can overcome it." The dark room began to slowly fill with light. "We're all gonna need you ok? You're never gonna be trapped in the darkness alone ever again." She felt Jinx hold her tighter then let go to look around the now bright room. A portal appeared in the wall of the room. Louise walked over to it and peeked inside. "I think Josh needs you." She smiled softly at the blunette. Jinx nodded and stepped through the portal wiping her tears. "Thank you Louise." She said as she disappeared. Louise waved at her even though she was gone then turned away from it.
She created a ball of light in her hands as Jinx arrived in Josh's dream. The poor girl covered her mouth as tears burned her eyes from the sight of him. He was chained to the floor and his eyes had been gouged out. Small speakers surrounded his laying body, blasting their voices screaming at him to help them. Jinx looked around and found a small plug. She sped walked over and pulled it out so that all the voices stopped. She quickly sprinted back to the screaming boy. "Josh! Josh! It's ok! It's me Jinx!" She reassured as she held his hand. "Jinx?! Jinx?! Are you ok?! Where is everyone?!" She smiled. "They're ok! I'm ok..." Her voice cracked a bit from trying not to cry and he began struggling again. "No! You're not Jinx! Let me go! I need to save them!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. Jinx looked at him in despair before she heard a loud screeching sound.
Everyone else heard this sound and looked around. "Hello? Can you hear me? Guy's?" The angels voice rang out. "Listen to me! This is not real! It is a dream. Someone has put us in our worst nightmares but they made a huge mistake! You know why? Because we are the people who make nightmares! You've always fought for me and fought for yourselves! Fought for loved ones! You've all fought for something! And now you have to keep fighting! Fear is not a weakness! Fear is a superpower. It will always be you constant companion and that's ok. And yes i'm quoting Doctor Who! So let's use it to our advantage! You control your own dreams! Take down your fears and make them bow to you because you own them! So fight! I'll see you all soon!" She spoke out.
As her voice rang out through his dream Josh pulled a his bonds until they finally broke. Jinx helped him sit up and they looked to the wall to see a blinding bright light consuming the darkness and soon consuming them as well. Caitlyn 2 looked up at the empty room in shock. Confused as to what had just happened. There were no spiders and there was a bright light coming from one of the walls. Tears filled her eyes and she ran forward a massive smile etched into her face. Caitlyn 1's box of glass shattered making all the water and herself fall to the floor. She gasped for the much needed air and lay there breathing. Light filled her vision as she closed her eyes and smiled.
Aaron skidded out from the clowns and grabbed a mirror. He whacked all the clowns with it make them and the mirror itself smash into a million pieces. He smiled and turned to the one remaining mirror in the room. He ran and jumped into it ready to see his best friends again. Demetry smirked and produced his hammer. The creepy pastas looked at him in shock before backing away slowly. The green head wore a creepy grin as he charged at them. He ripped Jeff the killers head of his shoulders before he saw a bright light. He knew it was Louise and ran towards it. Relief filling his system. Daniel opened his eyes to see he was outside in the sunlight, no darkness insight. He laughed and jumped up. He heard a door opening to his right and smiled as he walked towards it.
And Aiden... He felt Louise place a hand on his shoulder as he held the gun in his hand. "Take control! Remember! You never would!" She reassured before he shot the man who looked like him. "I NEVER WOULD! I WOULD NEVER KILL HER!" He screamed. He turned around and hugged Louise. She smiled softly and squeezed him back as light consumed them both, signalling they would return home very soon.
They all woke up in the empty nursery room they had began in. "We're alive!" Jinx screeched as she jump-hugged Josh. He was shocked at first then wrapped his arms around her for dear life refusing to let go. "LOUISE!" Aiden shouted as he shot up from his sleep. He went straight over and wrapped her in his arms. And before she could move a muscle he kissed her then pulled back all too soon. "Hello..." Louise's voice cracked a little in surprise.
"Noooo!" They heard an echoey voice sound. They all turned to where the door was to see a fading demon. They had obviously made it weak from defeating it in their dreams. Before anyone could do anything shadows enveloped the demon and tied him to the wall, everyone looked to Josh who was holding out an arm controlling the shadows, his eyes filled with hate and fear, the shadows then began to surround the demons eyes a soft squelching sound was heard and everyone's eyes widen in shock and fear as the demon began to scream in pain. When the shadows where done with the eyes all that was left was the messy remains. Everyone was nearly sick. Then the shadows began to rip at the demons body flinging organs all over the walls and ceiling, the demon was still screaming in pain when the shadows tore at his head. All that was left was a deformed caucus, no one could tell that it was ever a demon. Josh moved his hand back round jinx and buried his head in her shoulder. He hugged her tighter as though his life depended on it... And it did.
