Chapter 13 ♠ Sweet dreams?

                                    

                                          
When you finally made it back to the castle you got to the elevator and stopped dead in your tracks before pushing a button, your hand hovered over the floor where your room was and pressed it.
You didn't have time nor energy to visit Jevil now.
--------------------------------------------------------------
You walked to your room saying goodnight to a few co-workers on the way, you plopped yourself on the bed and groaned somewhat loudly, you just hoped you wouldn't get any more nightmares.
What a foolish thought am I right? Guess who had a lucid nightmare! You did!
You appeared in the same room that you were in your lst nightmare, the cards were still spilled on the floor along with the blood on them. Due to the passing of time the blood was darker than yesterday's.
You were laying on the floor, you sat up looking around for another shadow figure. After confirming no presence you stared at the cards with an unwell feeling, you couldn't describe it but it made your stomach turn with nervousness. You tried to get up but you couldn't move your legs for some reason so you used your hands to move from your current position, cautiously avoiding the blood while doing so.
You were going to back up against a nearby wall but by the time you came in contact with it the wall disappeared, making you fall on your back, you discovered you couldn't speak either as you tried to scream with shock upon the fall but heard no sound actually come out. 
You weren't in the room anymore, it was the place you visited with Jevil, that marvelous yet mysterious place.
You sat up back again and looked for signs of any movement, unlike last night's nightmare it was relatively calm, you could even say it wasn't a nightmare, maybe just a weird dream, but then again, what dreams aren't weird?
After some minutes of quiet the calm atmosphere turned into an unsettling one, you were laying on the floor once more but scared of the quiet and calm. It just didn't fit! You appeared in the room you had the nightmare in, why are you here now? And why is it so quiet?!
You hit your fists against the ground and got taken aback by the damage you made yourself but you also noticed something else, something... Unfitting... The ground didn't sound like... ground? Allow me to explain, we all know that if you hit a floor of dirt it doesn't make any remarkable sound, but it stills make a sound nevertheless, well, not this one. 
You hit the floor again to hear no sound. You didn't hear any noises either while you were moving around but you figured you were distracted, the same way you don't hear the ticking of a clock unless it's quiet, only then will your brain focus on the sound. You were puzzled by this, you are sure you heard both yours and Jevil's footsteps while you played tag, then again, this is a dream. 
Although, that help didn't help you, it made you more paranoid, if something was chasing you, you wouldn't even hear it approach. Of course this silence was horrible! It's not a calming one where you read a book while it softly rains outside, all sound was erased. Your instinct told you to look around you and you followed suit, looking everywhere like a psychopath.
"Y/N?"
You stood in place as you heard your name behind you. You didn't know if you should look behind or try to run away, which wouldn't be very successful considering the current situation with the legs, it's not that you couldn't move them, you didn't feel them at all, and that feeling was terrifying.
"Hello, hello?" It spoke again.
You stood in place, your brain telling you to look behind but your body being terrified with fear. You quickly listened to your thoughts the moment you heard an actual sound coming from behind you, a footstep getting closer.
"Are you alright, alright?" Jevil said, raising his hands as if he was getting arrested while kneeling down in front of you. Jevil. Of course it was Jevil. Jevil? Really?! I expected something more dramatic, and you did too.
You were even more confused, and even more scared "Y/N? How'd you make your way here?" He asked curiously. You opened your mouth to speak, but even before you could remember the futility of your mouth in this situation he answered himself "I guess I'm starting to brush off on you!" He laughed in his usual manner, his usual all knowing manner.
"Looks like you can access freedom on your own!" He said getting up and raising his arms looking to the colorless sky "Although..." He said looking back at you "You looked troubled, troubled." He smiled, smiled? One would think he would be worried.
"You would've said something by now, now! And if I'm correct-" He said circling around you "You!" He shouted kicking you to the floor "Are not here!" Besides not making noise you still got hurt and his random kick took you aback, his foot was on your chest keeping you in position, his face showed a toothy smile.
You just knew this was the actual Jevil and you weren't going to allow such a behavior so you grabbed his leg to get it off your chest. 
"You aren't here Y/N!"
Your hands met each other in the air, they went right through his leg, your face showed incredible confusion.
You heard Jevil laugh silently in the background "It seems you know enough of this world to access it, but not to be here physically." He got his foot off of you and started walking around you. You were looking at your hands, you could feel yourself, you were sure! But why couldn't you just- "You aren't free, yet you crave it!" He growled getting you up, his arms were around your armpits. Your brain couldn't process what Jevil was even saying, you were too concentrated on how futile you were.
"You dream of freedom, but you don't know how to get it. Or maybe, you do, do! But are afraid to believe the truth, truth." He said.
"Everyone knows how to wake up!" He laughed before pushing you once more. Already mad at him you turned back hopeful your vocal cords would be on your side to scream at him but froze in place as he held a comically large scythe. "Don't worry, it'll only hurt while you're here" He laughed in a sinister manner.
You tried to move away but were terrified with fear, confusion and all negative adjectives you can find, on top of that your vision became blurry and messy. Before you could think of anything you felt a sharp pain in your chest.
"AH!"
You covered your mouth as quickly as possible sitting up. You kept your hands on your mouth and slowly moved them away looking at a certain place, too busy in your mind to care to be looking somewhere useful. You were trembling, your breathing was sped up along with your heartbeat.
You could speak again! 
You felt your legs! 
And you also felt a distant pain.
It hurt more the more you breathed, you couldn't take deep breaths to calm down. You were tired of this. You haven't had nightmares for years and you have 2 in a row?! 
When the confusion washed away it was replaced with anger.
Towards what?
Towards EVERYTHING!
Towards Jevil for being such a bastard! Towards Rouxls for ruining every day of your life! Towards Seam for not being helpful! Towards Lancer for being annoying! Towards the King for not caring about anything! Towards the citizens for not revolving against the throne! Towards your co-workers for being so bland and conformists! Towards you for being so blind to freedom! Towards- Towards... Towards what? You didn't think that, and neither did I. 
Who... Who thought that?
Who said that?
Who is so smart?
'Who is messing with me?' You thought "They are right" You didn't think that. Then why did you hear it in your mind..?
You sighed, too tired to think about anything, it was still relatively late. You brushed it away exhausted and went to bed without thinking twice about the ongoing pain in your chest.
