Hello, everyone. Twilight here.
Firstly, to start things on a lighter note, Happy Halloween. I hope you all have a fun day today.
Unfortunately, it won’t exactly be the case for me and the others. At least, it won’t exactly go as we planned…
You see, a few nights ago, I had a pretty bad dream. Well, it was actually a really terrible nightmare. One that started out as if I still barely awake in bed, spending the night alone while Timber was away working. My eyes were just wandering around, staring from the ceiling fan to the corner of the room. It was blurry, of course. I wasn’t exactly wearing my glasses. But still, it all felt emptier than usual.

I rested my eyes for minute, maybe because I thought I’d finally get some sleep. But I didn’t. I felt something there.

No. I saw something.
Someone.

It was inexplicable what I was even looking at. Like my mind could hardly even process it.
But somehow, I knew who it was.
I couldn’t move. My heart was pounding. My skin was crawling. But my body felt heavier than ever. I could only close my eyes and wish for it to be over.
But at the same time, I just felt compelled to look. To force my eyes open and see her.

She got closer.

I couldn’t look away.
Everything quickly began to take shape as she came towards me. It was as graceful as it was disturbing. There was almost a want, a need for her… and it scared me.

Midnight…

She may have said something. I don’t remember what. But I think I did talk to her… begging her…

Everything went dark. Numb.
I woke up the next morning. I felt sick. Feverish. I didn’t sleep well at all. I felt more tired than the night before. My mind was still in a weird state. And I felt a strong craving in my stomach.
I managed to eventually find enough strength to heave myself out of bed, shove whatever box of pastries we had in the cabinets, and make my way to the bathroom. I splashed some water in my face before I finally got a look at myself. Pale-faced, baggy-eyed, with some remnants of a bloody nose.

I cleaned myself up a little bit more before Timber came home. I already called him and told him I was feeling very sick. I didn’t tell him about the nightmare, of course. Or about Midnight… Not like I could anyway. She won’t let me.
Same with my friends. I haven’t been able to tell them anything. But when I told them I was having a bad fever, they really went out of their way to come see me later. Honestly, I couldn’t help but feel some sense of hope. I’m glad I could count on them. If only they could know what was happening to me…
Oh. And I guess tying this back to Halloween, we were initially planning to go to a festival. But since I’m still recovering, they’ve decided to come over instead and watch a couple of old scary movies with me.
And just so you know, we’re not doing group questions or anything like that for today. I’ve been getting better.
I apologize that this year’s Halloween is a bit more quiet. But we have talked about doing something fun for this coming Friday the 13th. For the time being, however, we’re just going to relax. We really need it.
I need it…
