The Unknown Bond (Hiatus)

Chapter 15: Nightmare

A/N: a few words before this chapter starts. There is pain, like it's described. I hope you like this mellow and sadder chapter :)

Y/N POV

"This is unusual" I said staring the Collector down

I walked towards his cheerful figure.

"What's the deal? What are you planning?!" I glared at him

They chuckled "Oh, me? Well of course me! Well why don't I show ya'!" The Collector said with a grin

"What do-" but before I could finish my feet were tied down by black gloopy vines

Panic started to take over as the vines made their way up my body. A vine stretched out then seemed to be looking at the middle of my chest, my heart.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" I screamed at the Collector

"You're getting to powerful" they said

"What do you mean?!" I shot back concerned

"Well.. I gave you a little bit of power, but you already knew that. Well anyways, as I was saying.. Your power despite being connected to mine is starting to grow. In fact! Tonight I'm gonna force a power boost, instead of it coming slowly" they said and gave an evil grin

As I was processing what was happening the thorn in front of me suddenly shot forward. I was engulfed in a bright light and extreme pain. It felt like a bunch of tiny needles were stabbing at me, not going deep but touching enough to be very painful. I felt really hot but also very cold at the same time.

Memories from my world came flooding through m, stuff I didn't even know happened. Running into a wall as a toddler, watching a movie with my mother, staying up past my bed time. My first sleep over, that time I went ice skating and broke my arm, first day of fifth grade. My dad being scared of a spider, my first day of seventh grade. My first date, that didn't go so well. Getting lost in the woods during a camping trip. The day before I arrived here, and the show I watched before falling asleep.

With each memory my body ached more, and more with each memory. As the pain spread throughout my body there was voices ringing in my ears like deafening screams.

"You're never going home"

"Hunter will leave you"

"You should have tried leaving when you had the chance.."

More, and more. Louder, and louder.

There was a laugh "Goodbye~" I heard the Collector say, laughing some more

Again, there was I bright light, and I woke up. For being the middle of the night I had to close my eyes as they seemed to be drowning in light.

There was a sharp and quick pain to the left side of my face.

I quickly sheiled my face and slowly opened my eyes. After opening my eyes I looked at my glowing blue diamond mark. My veins on my arm were glowing, the closer to the mark the brighter. They quickly faded back to normal.

"Y/N! WHAT WAS THAT!" He said and pinned my arms down

Hunter looked scared, shocked, and most of all worried. I blushed.

"C-coukd you get o-off me first?" I said looking to the position he, and I were now borh in

Hunter was on top of me with his arms holding me down. We were both blushing immensely. Hunter quickly jumped back and apologized.

"So! What was going on?! Your eyes were glowing white and blue, and your veins on your arm by your mark were glowing aswell. You were saying stop, over, and over again." He said concern and worry plastered on his face and in his voice
"You.. YOU WERE IN PAIN!" He finished

"I-.. my power.. it became overwhelming.. and scary. I didn't know if it was ever gonna end! It was like millions of tiny needles against my skin! It hurt, Hunter.." I said, tears filling my eyes

I put knees up and girppes my hands together. I put my face into my knees and cried. I tried not to but the slight lingering pain said otherwise.

"Y/N?" Hunter said and I sensed him shuffling over to me

I looked up at Hunter with glassy eyes and tears down my checks. Hunter opened his arms and got on his knees. I readjusted and fell into a hug sobbing.

"Not so tough on the inside, I see" he whispered into my ear

"Can I sleep with you tonight?" I said and pulled away from the hug

"Oh, uhm" he smile with slight blush
"Sure, I don't see why not" he said then got up

I slowly got up and made my way to Hunters bed. He got on the. I got on.
To be honest this is kinda awkward but it also felt calm and warm. I got next him and we facing each other. He gave a slight smile and so did I.

He held me as I silently cried. Once I felt myself drifting off to sleep I stopped crying. I fell asleep in his arms. There were a million butterflies in my stomach but they simmered down. I dreamt peacefully for the first night in a bit. It was peaceful and welcoming.
