Nightmare Keeper POV

(Y/N) tossed and turned in her sleep. I finally got the dream keeper away from her.

She looked around. All was dark. He gave her the exact same dream. She watched as herself killed everyone she loved and cared about. She killed Paperjam last before turning to (Y/N). It was then that (Y/N) realized it wasn't herself. The pink ooze and smoke from her eyes and mouth, a name came to her head. Bette Noire. Unlike Paperjam, she was unfazed when she realized it was not her. Bette's eyes glowed bright pink and (Y/N)'s a brighter (f/c). Bette seemed slightly alarmed. She checked the stats.

(Y/N)

LV 0

Defense +99

Attack 1 - +99

Weapon magic, copy, sword +99

Bette Noire

LV +20

Defense 33

Attack 30

Weapon Akumu, spear, illusion

Bette smiled. She knew what to do. But she needed the right time. (Y/N) made the first move. She fired fire balls at her sides. Then another in the center. Bette dodged the first two, but got hit. Just like Chara in dodgeball.

Bette

HP 30/40

She groaned before getting up. (Y/N)'s eye still blazed brightly. Bette's had dimmed from the damage. (Y/N) offered Bette a hit. Bette turned Akumu into a machine gun and opened fire.

(Y/N)

HP 999/1000

Bette was now terrified. Never had she come across an opponent as strong as her. She summoned a (fav animal) blaster and charged up. Then Bette used her last resort. She made herself appear as (Guy friend name) and (Girl friend name), knowing it would faze (Y/N). She hesitated, but fired the blaster.

Bette

HP 1/40

Bette fell to the floor. (Y/N) walked up to her. She kneeled down.

"H-how did you know? How did you not care?"

"I do. But they're right here."

She took out a locket. It was made of blessed silver. When she opened the heart shell, an aqua mist came out and took the form of her two friends. Bette laid there shocked. As was I. Without a word, they attacked Bette, finishing her off. Then (Y/N) looked directly at me. Her own version of Akumu, with a (f/c) color, was summoned and came towards me. It missed, but told me something.

She isn't the normal dreamer. Nor is she a normal person.

She was the first to beat Dreamer Bette Noire. She knew I was there. She copied Bette's moves. She had better stats then Bette and maybe even myself. Then she woke up and I couldn't control her anymore.

(Y/N) POV

I woke up from the nightmare. But I was calm rather than afraid.

*You're filled with DETERMINATION

The nightmare keeper was after me and I knew it. I had an old friend named Betty. She was the absolute opposite of Bette. However, she had a magenta soul. One for FEARFUL. However, she was killed since they thought she was the soul of fear. Just two days after her murder, they found out she was a new soul trait. The first of her kind in over 100 years. It would be another century before another FEARFUL soul would come. I cried over her loss. She was one of the only people that was kind to me. I was abused more for crying, but I still needed to weep. I took out the bracelet the scientists gave to me. They told me she asked for one thing.

"Please . .

I have just one friend . .

Her name is (Y/N) . .

Put a drop of my blood in this bracelet . .

So we can stay friends . .

Until we meet again . .

In heaven . ."

The gold chain had a glass rose charm. It was hollow and clear, but it was now a vibrant red from Betty's blood. I took out my soul necklace, then my spirit necklace. I have more, but that's for another time. As I held them close to my chest, a light came from my chest. The aqua mist came and summoned (guy friend) and (girl friend). A magenta mist came and took the form of Betty. I decided to cry and they quickly came for comfort. Betty with the soul of FEARFUL, (girl friend) with PATIENCE, and (guy friend) with KINDNESS. All were killed without mercy. Two of the three were my fault. They told me it wasn't, that it was HIS fault. It was, but if they hadn't been friends with me, they would still be alive. They ushered me to sleep. And this time, they were in my dream to protect me. These friends might be human, but I think excluding them.

"We're all here for you (Y/N)."

Monsters are better than humans.
