Chapter 5 - Nightmare

"Although they no longer have control over their bodies, they are still conscious. It is not known why the dark force left them as observers of what was going to happen next.

They were just there witnessing the spirits use their bodies to perform a sexual act on those women, so that's why specimens were chosen to reproduce something supernatural.

They were deprived of the sense of touch and speech, so they couldn't challenge what was being done, it was left to them in a way as pure evil, the senses of sight, smell and hearing as well as all sensory perception, the excitement, the horniness, the orgasms and every moment that their bodies are copulating with the young women at the bonfire, they can feel everything without being able to interact or interfere.

They feel their bodies on the point of boiling, their heartbeats have become elevated, they feel the pleasure of filling their partner with unusual frantic movements, the excitement of this madness of watching feeling and not even being able to control it is completed when they reach ecstasy and cum inside them.

They feel the hot liquid being ejaculated inside them with such accuracy, because this mating is looking for the meeting point with fertilization, after all, they were chosen to procreate.

The sexual act itself was quick, but the sensations drove them to madness and despair, the fear of this being an irreversible dream and being trapped in the darkness inside their own body just watching it being used, it's a vision of Hell that would be better to die, maybe the perfect death is like that. When you dance with the darkness and offer your life as an adornment, that can be your reward.

They are watching their bodies separate from the young women and are sitting on the grass looking at the couple who are in the middle of the circle at the bonfire.

Then he feels his shoulder on fire as if it were burning, he lowers the sleeve of his coat and the other four can clearly see a tattoo being drawn in the shape of a pentagram.

Her companion was the one chosen to bear the child of this supernatural union. To confirm the bond between them, she cuts her palm and the blood that comes out is taken to the tattoo, healing it instantly.

The two of them have been linked by darkness, and once again that tattoo is reminiscent of a déjà vu of something they didn't know how it got there.

Now they feel more desperate and distressed than before, as the memory of the young woman's words takes over their deepest fears "You were given to us as an offering." With the ritual complete, every offering becomes a sacrifice, so the end must be near.

However, something different happens, leaving them confused. Their possessed bodies become aroused again, increasing their burning desire for them, kissing them with fire and pleasure, making their instincts boil in a mixture of euphoria and arousal, without being able to speak or control their movements.

They feel the young women's heartbeats accelerate to the extreme, and they can't warn them, causing them to stop instantly and suffer a massive heart attack. They then lie lifeless in their arms, unable to do anything but cry tears of grief, they have become the sacrifice in their place.

This feeling of dread and anguish at being responsible for their death begins to cause electrical discharges throughout their bodies, gradually increasing the frequency from a mild shock to a complete electrical discharge, causing their muscles to contract and retract almost at the same time.

The stimuli allow them to regain some of the movement of their arms and hands by letting them fall to the ground. In an attempt to pick them up, they receive another discharge so strong that it also knocks them to the ground.

Where they are writhing and twisting in pain, they feel the movement of their hands, arms and legs return, taking possession of their senses again. The voice that was previously trapped is released in the form of a scream so terrifying and guttural at the beginning and shrill at the end that it finally wakes them up from the nightmare"

(...)

A few hours had passed since they fell asleep after the film, their sleep had been normal for a while with no changes in their behavior, but now they started to become agitated, their breathing was labored, their heartbeats were racing, they seemed to be sweating a lot, which made the translator and the flight attendants apprehensive, because the five men lying there seemed to be having a nightmare at the same time.

The movements of their eyelids intensify rapidly, and in this state of sleep it is dangerous to try to wake them up, because their pressure remains high and altered. To avoid the risk of complications, they just watch their desperation and monitor their breathing for fear that something worse might happen.

For those who see them dreaming like that and the state they're in, it makes them even more nervous because they can't help. A nightmare can last hours for the dreamer, but in reality it's only been a few minutes.

Nightmares tend to be longer than dreams, with frighteningly realistic and memorable details.

The images in nightmares are a mixture of memories, recent information you've been exposed to and visual representations of your emotions, usually influenced by your fears and stress, such as being stalked or tormented.

The emotional response to nightmares can actually wake you up, as they usually happen during the second half of sleep, where there is rapid eye movement. They occur in the visual cortex, which is connected to the amygdala.

When these two are activated, they provoke autonomic stimuli in the body, as a result of which your heart starts beating faster, breathing becomes difficult and you may start sweating a lot in a nightmare, possibly waking up in a panic.

It's in this stage of REM sleep that the neurons are firing their electrical waves and are at a higher frequency, so the mind is more active, it's the closest thing to waking consciousness.

That's why nightmares seem longer and much more intense, because they happen just before you wake up and the visuals that cause negative emotions are much more memorable.

They stop moving and in one sudden movement stand up totally frightened and dazed, open their eyes and a low, half hoarse, shrill scream at the end is heard throughout the cabin.

The stewardesses quickly come to their aid with face towels and bottles of cold water, they are sweaty and very frightened, panicked and panting, not knowing what is happening, still because of the confusion between the dream and reality.

They all drink the water very quickly, almost choking, take a deep breath and begin to analyze where they are, running their hands all over their bodies, checking every part and testing their voices by talking to the others.

- Where am I? - Uruha wakes up in a panic, looks over and sees Aoi waking up gasping and scared too.

- It looks like we're in a bed, but what is this place? - Aoi asks, analyzing where he was lying. He gets up a little and sees Kai in another bed, like his, all lost.

- You're on the plane, going home to Japan, " replies the translator, seeing how confused and lost they are.

- How did we get here? - Asks Reita in distress from behind their seats

- You've been here on the plane all this time. - The translator thinks, "Why do they think they were somewhere else? "

- Why are we all sweaty and wet like this? What happened? - Kai asks in despair, even his hair is all wet.

- You fell asleep after the movie and started having a restless sleep, really restless, that's why you're all sweaty - replies the translator

- Did we have a dream? Are you sure? But it was all as real as this place is now, " says Ruki, looking at the others and analyzing the place.

- Yes, I'm sure, " says the translator. - Do you remember what that dream was about and what it was like?

- In my dream, the five of us were in the forest, around the campfire and we started singing. - Uruha starts speaking slightly debauched.

I was scared, but the dream was still bizarre, and now that I'm awake and thinking about it more, it was kind of funny.

- I had the same dream too! We were singing Dogma with those women from the party! - Kai said, looking at them in amazement, and the Uruha analyst leader was a little excited. Had they had the same dream? It would be very cool and terrifying at the same time.

- How? Is that possible? Me too. I also dreamt that I was there, in the forest, didn't I? Dancing, feeling the warmth of an embrace. - Aoi reflects in amazement.

Kai and Uruha's faces blur with excitement; two people having the same dream was already more than bizarre. A shiver runs up the spine of everyone there, still disbelieving, they stare at each other in silence for a while.

Uruha frowns and when she opens her mouth to ask her boyfriend what he means by a "loving embrace", someone else starts talking, cutting him off.

- It was all so confusing, when they held us tightly and said that we had been chosen as sacrifices," says Reita, getting nervous. He'd had the same dream as the others and was getting terrified listening to his friends.

- If you wanted to make fun of me for having a strange dream, choose a better way. Do you think I'm going to believe that you all had the same dream? - Uruha asked, his blood already running cold, he was scared and getting terrified, his hands were sweating.

- What... happened? What strength did they have? And who else remembers what happened afterwards? - Ruki asked, jumping up and looking at Kai and Aoi with wide eyes.

- We had the same dream," says Kai in a whisper to himself, and when he remembers the dream, he turns pale.

- That was a dream, just a dream," said Reita to Ruki, trying to calm down at the same time.

Aoi, on the other hand, was getting desperate about something else. Uruha was so frightened that he was breaking out in a cold sweat and breathing very little, his eyes wide and his face pale.

- Did I kill someone? - Aoi whispered in disbelief, and the tense silence that followed was like an explosion of nervousness and despair among the five of them.

The translator and the stewardesses are even more confused by the possibility of them having a shared dream and remembering finding themselves inside the dream, which makes it sound crazy. A collection of delusions and daydreams, but they continue to relate what they felt and saw during the nightmare.

- What were those agonizing and desperate sensations? - Aoi asks, still terrified.

- I felt those sensations after that black smoke got close to us," said Kai, remembering his chest tightening and feeling short of breath.

- It felt like it really happened, something in that smoke forced us to have that sexual act, it couldn't have been just a nightmare," said Ruki, doubting whether it was real or just a dream.

- Was it really a memory? The most traumatic and terrifying thing was seeing them lifeless in our arms, maybe that's why we've blocked out what happened - asks Reita and reflects: Was I to blame for her death?

- I have a feeling of déjà vu, that we were used to procreate and maybe that's the answer to our memory blackouts and sleepy items - suggests Uruha to the others.

A little calmer, they settle into their seats and try to drink the water more slowly, with the towel wiping away their sweat. They try to get up and stand, but their legs are still numb, so they fall and sit down again.

Then they continue to talk about their theories, about the dream being a memory that was unconsciously blocked because of the fear and dread they felt in the dark forest when they ran out.

- As sinister as that is, even if it were true, would any newscaster talk about the death of the young women at the campfire? It seems that the traces were erased as if everything had been planned. - He turned and pointed at the television.

- All this is very strange and complicated to understand, ever since that Halloween party it seems that something is controlling us and we're not ourselves anymore - observes another man with a nervous tone of speech

- So far I don't understand what it is about us being the chosen ones, and I don't know what they did to us in that ritual with our music. Not to mention that strange prophecy. - Someone very terrified remembers the prophecy

- I still remember her saying that we were handed over as a sacrificial offering, what did she mean by "handed over" to the darkness? - Asks the other, thinking he's trying to theorize why they weren't the sacrifice.

- The only concrete answer is the explanation of how the tattoo appeared on my shoulder, and even stranger that it was scarred with the blood of that young woman from the forest," adds the chosen one of the darkness.

With no more time to continue this conversation, they are told that the plane has arrived at its destination. The stewardesses ask them to follow the safety measures and buckle up, as the plane is about to land.
