Nightmares
Raven opened the door and let Kyle enter first. Limping in he took a look around. The first thing he noticed was the vast amount of literature that littered her room. Books were everywhere. Some looked newer with laminated covers and eye catching covers while many others looked like they belonged in antique stores. One or two where so thick they looked like those grimores that wizards from movies would use to cast spells. The room itself was rather dark. Not gloomy but rather poorly lighted. There were a few lamps scattered around the room and one overhead light in the center of the ceiling.
“Well, what do you think?” Raven asked as she moved into his view.
“Call it a shot in the dark but I think you have a thing for books.”
Raven simply rolled her eyes. “Oh, how did you know?” she sarcastically responded. “C’mon, your rooms over here.” She said, moving towards the door on the right.
It was a somewhat small room that looked to be more like a large closet before being converted to a meditation room. There was some room off in a corner for a bed and chest of drawers but what really caught his attention was the large circle that seemed to be drawn into the carpet and the strange runes that encircled it.
“Uh, what’s that?” Kyle said pointing to the circle.
“That’s my meditation circle. It helps me focus my energies.”
“Ah. Ok. Um, is it alright for me to walk across it? I mean, I won’t get teleported to another dimension if I do will I?”
Raven smirked slightly. “Not unless you know the incantation to do so no, you won’t. Now, the bathroom is on the other side of the room near my bed. For now we’ll have to find you a cot for you to sleep on and tomorrow one of us will get you your necessities.”
“Great. Speaking of which, what time do you have dinner? I’m starving.”
“About now actually. We usually go out to eat though I’m sure everyone would be willing to break that habit for tonight. ”
Returning to the common room, everyone agreed that the best course of action was to get pizza and enjoy a night in. After a heated battle of rock paper scissors between Robin and Cyborg, Cyborg begrudgingly left to get the food. While the rest of the group waited, Kyle conversed with the superheroes, asking about their histories and talents. About twenty minutes later Cyborg walked through the door balancing ten pizzas on each hand.
“I come bearing pizza! Kyle I didn’t know which kind you liked so I got every kind they had.”
Everyone headed towards the table and dug into the grub. It was the first meal in ages that Kyle actually had enough food to eat his fill. The meal even came with entertainment. Beastboy was constantly cracking jokes about some of their adventures or commenting on funny circumstances that befell them. A good three hours went by with laughter aplenty. By the time Kyle realized the time it was eleven at night.
“Well guys, it’s been a blast but I think I’m gonna turn in now. Thanks for the pizza.”
Everyone said good night to him as he passed through the doors and he waved in turn back to them. Leaning on his crutches he hobbled through the dimly lit hallway until he reached his and Ravens room. Kyle closed the door behind him and went to his room. At some point one of the titans must have dropped by because where there was an empty space in the meditation room there was now a comfortable looking cot and a simple looking nightstand with a digital clock and small lamp. Heaving a tired sigh, Kyle headed towards the cot and stripped down to his boxers. Leaning the crutches against the wall at the foot of his bed, he flopped onto the mattress, turned off the lamp and as soon as his head hit the pillow his lights were out. He was so tired that he didn’t notice that as soon as he went to bed, Raven’s meditation circle started to glow with a soft purple light.
He was dreaming. Kyle was floating in midair; the world around him was distorted, blurry. He could hear voices in the distance, mere whispers in his ear. Kyle focused on the voices, trying to understand what they were saying. Suddenly Kyle’s feet touched solid ground and his vision cleared. What he saw filled him with dread. The place was barren, void of any life. The earth was scorched black by an endless inferno carried by powerful gales of wind. Though he was surrounded by a lifeless land he could hear a horrid moaning and wails of pain over the rushing of the wind. Kyle hesitantly took a step forward and his foot sank slightly into the earth. Looking down in curiosity as to what exactly he was standing on his eyes grew wide with horror. He was stepping on someone’s face! Leaping back in terror, he heard another loud groan come from beneath him and found that he was stepping on a boney hand. Immediately the wailings and groaning grew louder and the land around him began to shift and move. It was then he realized that he was not standing on ground but millions of bodies compressed against each other! The cries of suffering grew deafening and Kyle put his hands against his ears to try and block out the sickening sounds. The cries began to change, gaining a tempo to their sounds and Kyle could make out a voice from the millions of tormented cries calling out as one.
Cower in fear, for he is coming. He has claimed a hundred worlds and billions of lives and now he comes for yours and all that inhabit your world.
Thin charred hands grasped at his legs and slowly began pulling him down.
Everyone and everything you know will be devoured in his flame and become as us. Damned souls forever sentenced to be burned by the fires of his hell.
By the time he noticed what was happening, the hands of the damned had already pulled him halfway into their torment; their boney hands now grasping ha his arms.
Weep oh forsaken soul. He is coming, and all you know is at an end.
Their hands where now wrapped around his throat, his entire body encased by the tortured souls. Their grip was tight and Kyle could only manage to whisper one word before being plunged into eternal torment.
“Who?”
The winds died down instantly and all the voices of all the damned souls spoke once more.
Trigon.
Kyle shot awake, his body drenched in sweat. His eyes shot around the room looking for any sign of the place he was at before. Nothing. Kyle dropped his legs over the side of the bed and looked at the clock on the nightstand. The glowing red numbers read 5:01. Kyle wiped the sweat off his brow and leaned back against the cool wall; willing his heart to calm down.
Six hours. I’ve been asleep for six hours and it feels like I haven’t slept for days. That dream…. no, nightmare . It was so real. Too real.
Deciding that it would be pointless to try and go back to sleep after that nightmare, Kyle decided to go and see what the titans had to eat. Dressing in the clothes he wore before, he walked to the door and realized he had forgotten his crutches. What’s more, he realized his leg didn’t hurt at all.
I knew I was a fast healer but this fast? Just then his stomach gave a low growl. Eh, whatever. Now let’s go get some food!
Walking into the common room, Kyle made a bee line to the kitchen area. Locating the fridge he opened the door expecting it to be packed to the rim with food. Unfortunately he was wrong. There were a few containers of food, a couple bottles of water and a gallon of milk but it was all covered by a strange blue fuzzy substance that looked like mold. Figuring that the goods in plastic were still ok, Kyle reached for the milk and was shocked when the mold shifted and a grotesque face appeared. Growling it made a grab for his hand. As quick as lightning Kyle retracted his hand out of its reach and slammed the fridge door shut and leaned his back up against it to keep it from getting out.
Sweet Jesus, Mary and Joseph! What the hell was that?!
His stomach let out another loud growl.
Don’t you start with me buddy! Breakfast will just have to wait till later. Completing his thought he heard a soft scraping against the fridge door from the inside.
Preferably something not from the fridge
Well that’s it for now. Sorry for the delay. With college finals and my computer getting busted within the same week I’ve been pretty busy, but I’m back. Expect to see some more interesting development in the next chapter!
P.S. If anyone has a better idea on a title for the story I’m all ears. I came up with it on the fly and I’m thinking of changing it.
