A/N: Guess who's back!? sorry for not updating this one in so long, but I've had other stories to work on and now I've decided to give this one some long deserved updates. In the last chapter, the name of our dream killer was Robbie Callaghan, and he killed Honey Lemon in her sleep, making her blood get onto Fred's pajamas. A woman saw the bloodied Fred leave Honey's house, thinking a murder took place and dialed 911 on him. This is where we left off. Enjoy!
Hiro entered his bathroom locking the door. He was in nothing but a red and blue plaid bathrobe and walked over to the tub to turn the dial that made hot water go into the tub, and then the cold water dial to make sure it wouldn't be too hot enough to burn him.
"Just what I need" Hiro said as he shifted his shoulders around underneath his robe. He had been helping Aunt Cass all day in the cafe, and it had been very tiring on him. Hiro closed his eyes and yawned, but his eyes shot open.
"Stay awake just a little longer, Hamada. You can fall asleep in the tub, you don't wanna fall asleep on the floor just so it can overflow" Hiro told himself out loud before adding some soap into the tub to give it some bubbles. Once it was at the right amount of water, Hiro turned the knobs off and then dropped his bathrobe to the floor.
"Let the downtime begin" Hiro said getting into the tub and lying down in it.
"Oooh, yes. That's what I'm talking about" Hiro said as he felt the hot water work it's miracles on his aching back, arms, and legs too.
"Wait a minute" Hiro said reaching for the pocket of his robe and pulled out his phone and went onto the 'Alarm' feature.
"Almost forgot" the raven haired teen said before setting the alarm and setting it on the bathroom floor by his robe.
"I'm just gonna have some time for Hiro to be Hiro" he said now closing his eyes and slowly drifting off to sleep. In the tub, in the middle of the bubbles, four metal blades started to appear before revealing the blades came from Robbie's glove and tried to reach up for Hiro's face. Just when the sleeve of his sweater was about to be revealed, knocking was heard. The bladed hand retracted back into the water and Hiro woke up.
"Hiro, you alright in there?" a female voice asked. It was Aunt Cass, and Hiro sighed.
"Yeah, I'm fine Aunt Cass" Hiro responded.
"Alright, I just wanted to let you know I'm going to bed" Aunt Cass said.
"Okay, good night" Hiro said smiling and nodding.
"Good night, sweetie. Try not to stay in there too long. Your skin's gonna prune up if you do" Aunt Cass said. Hiro chuckled and shook his head.
"Don't worry I won't" Hiro responded, and with that out of the way, he could relax again. Hiro then closed his eyes, took a deep breath and fell asleep once more. After a few minutes, Hiro decided it's time to wake up and get out of the tub.
"Now that, felt amazing" Hiro said before putting on his robe and looking at his phone.
"Hmph, only two minutes before the alarm went off" Hiro said before shutting it off and putting it in his robe pocket. Once he opened the door, he felt a wave of cold air hit him and saw that his room wasn't his room. It was outside a small building in the middle of the night while it was snowing. Hiro was confused a bit as he looked around before stepping out of the bathroom and saw where he was, his feet felt extremely cold and uncomfortable when he laid his bare soles on them, but Hiro kept on walking through it irregardless.
"What is this place?" Hiro asked as he walked up to a sign by the front gates of the building covered in snow. Using one hand, Hiro wiped the snow off the sign to reveal different colored letters inside what looked like wooden blocks an infant would play with. 'Tender-Cuddles Preschool' the words spelled out. Hiro then began hearing sinister chuckling from behind him and flinched backwards to see Robbie approaching him.
"You really don't remember, do you?" asked Robbie as he slowly took two steps at a time until Hiro was backed up against the brick wall right by the front door.
"W-w-who are you?" Hiro stuttered in terror. The feeling of the cold and fear of what Robbie would do to him added to the feeling of total helplessness for the raven-haired teen.
"Surely you must remember, little old me, Hiro" Robbie said as he leaned forward so he could get his face all up in Hiro's and used the index finger of his bladed glove to stroke his hair.
"You were my number one. My... little... Hiro" Robbie continued before chuckling even more that sent a tingle down Hiro's spine that felt worse than the cold of the snow in which his feet were buried in. the bladed fingers then gently stroked Hiro's arm until it got to his hand.
"This isn't real" Hiro said, trying not to show how terrified he was at how Robbie might kill him if he made one wrong move.
"Oh, it's not real isn't it? How do you explain what happened to Wasabi? And Honey Lemon?" Robbie asked as he now closed his bladed finger's around Hiro's now clenched up fist.
"What are you talking about?" Hiro asked.
"You'll find out soon enough" Robbie responded. Hiro then remembered something.
"I'll be waking up soon and you'll be gone... I-I-I set an alarm on my phone" Hiro warned. Robbie only smiled and nodded, showing off his rotted teeth with black roots in them.
"Yes, you did set in alarm... in your dream, you weak minded fool" Robbie said before sniffing Hiro's neck in a creepy manner.
"You smell like hazelnuts. Why do you think that is? The coffee you had before closing time? Or maybe the bath soaps?" Robbie asked. Hiro was now trembling in front of Robbie, making his fear visible to the burnt man in the Christmas sweater.
"What's wrong buddy? Don't you wanna play some more?" Robbie asked making his bloodshot eyes stare into Hiro's.
'Pound' 'Pound' 'Pound' 'Pound' 'Pound' 'Pound'
Hiro then woke up gasping, he was still in the bathtub and he looked all around him taking rapid breaths. But then took in a sigh of relief when he heard more pounding at the door.
"Hiro! It's me, Fred! Open the door!" a voice came from the other end of the locked door. Hiro then dunked his head in the hot water to get his hair wet and to make sure he was fully awake, he didn't need to have another nightmare right now.
"Screw the bathrobe" Hiro said getting out of the tub and decided to put a towel over his midsection and answer to door to reveal Fred with blood on his pajamas and with a look of distress on his face.
"Fred! What the Hell!?" Hiro asked when Fred just came in barging through the door the minute Hiro turned the bronze doorknob.
"Sorry about that, but I've gotta talk to you" Fred exclaimed.
"Does it have to be right now? It's not a good time to be barging in on me nearly naked when I just got out of the tub" Hiro said a little irritated.
"Yes! Honey Lemon was murdered by someone I didn't even see!" Fred shouted. Hiro then widened his eyes in shock and fear.
"Wait a minute, she's actually dead?" Hiro asked, remembering what Robbie told him in his nightmare.
"Yeah, she was floating around above her bed being bounced back and forth against the wall like it was a game of 'Pong' and then these claw marks appear on her body and she bled to death on her bed" Fred explained before realizing what Hiro said a few seconds ago.
"Who told you Honey died?" asked Fred.
"Some guy in my dream. He looked pretty burnt up, he had some kind of Indiana Jones hat on and some sort of sweater with some burn marks on it. And he had... knives on the tips of one of his hands" Hiro explained.
"Robbie!? You've seen him too?!" asked Fred. Hiro just nodded in a fast motion.
"That's his name?" Hiro asked.
"Yeah. We've all seen him, it's me it's you, it's Wasabi and Honey... he's in all of our heads and it's pure evil!" Fred exclaimed shaking Hiro.
"Fred, calm down. We gotta do something about this, but how?" Hiro asked. Fred backed away slowly and spoke.
"Whatever you do... no matter what happens... Don't. Fall. Asleep" Fred said before leaving the bathroom, and leaving Hiro terrified and speechless all the same.
Fred then left Hiro's room from his window and climbed down the fire escape ladder. The minute, his bare feet touched the sidewalk, one large light surrounded him and he looked behind him to reveal police officers. One of them pounced on Fred, and put handcuffs on him.
"Ow! What are you doing!? That's too tight!" Fred asked in fear of the officer.
"Fred Lee, you're under arrest for murder. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law. You have a right to an attorney, if you cannot afford one, one shall be provided for you" the officer said as he now dragged Fred to the police cruiser.
"I didn't kill her! You gotta believe me! We were friends!" Fred shouted.
"Just shut the Hell up and save it for the judge for crying out loud" the officer said making Fred sit down in the back of the cruiser, slammed the door shut and then drove off to the police station.
A/N: Things just got a little more intense huh? Now Hiro is seeing Robbie in his dreams, ad Fred got arrested for supposedly killing Honey (which he didn't!). now it all turns into one big scary Scooby-Doo episode if Scooby-Doo was more adult oriented and more gruesome More to come in the next update. Please review, thanks!
