Rebirth (A Rainimator Fanfiction Finale)

Chapter 47: Razer's Reverie

Song Played: Hollywood Undead - Nightmare

Razer's POV

After a long day of destroying villages and slaughtering helpless villagers, I was exhausted.

Well done, Razer.

I felt my chest bursting with pride. I was glad that the Overseer had taken notice of me.

Anyways it was time to rest. I had a lot to do tomorrow.

I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

In my dream, I had a memory of when I was innocent and naive. 

Back when I was Caleb.

"Where was I found?"  I asked.

The policewoman sighed. "Matt?" She asked. "Do you mind explaining?"

The policeman nodded.

"It was a normal day at first," Matt said. "I was trying to figure out what the mysterious sightings were in a deserted mansion."

"As I was searching for clues, I heard some noise coming from the upstairs," he continued. "I had no idea who it was, so I grabbed my gun and slowly walked in."

I was expecting to see a murderer, or a cult summoning a demon... or even a Fortnite squad... nasty little creeps."

"However, I was not expecting to see a small child, his eyes closed."

"I abandoned the search to bring you back to the village... I knew what my task was, but I also knew what the right thing to do was."

"I brought you in... and I took care of you," Matt said. "I know it's hard, being the only one to barely never know his parents here. But I'll make sure to protect you."

"You're going to be a hero, Caleb." He said to my smiling face.

After that, I remember trying to fulfill my dreams... only for it to be crushed again and again.

I felt like everyone was depending on me.

I felt pressured.

And I slowly began to crack under this pressure.

It took me forever to realize that I was fooling myself.

Why was I even trying?

Why was I lying to myself?

I was never a hero... I was chasing stupid dreams all along.

All I am is a nightmare.

Nightmare Lyrics

When I close my eyes and I try to sleep

The weight of the world falls down on me

It's all a part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare

Part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare

Sick, inside of bed, infected with the feelings

Staring up like my dreams were projected on the ceiling

I can see it, I want the money and the fame too

They told me when you get it, never let it change you

And finally, I've morphed into everything I tried to be
