What Audrey and Austin are saying is true. They've always hated you. They've never wanted to hang out with you. They've always thought of you as an annoying nuisance. And even you believe that it's true.
"I don't even know why we're doing this dream with her. To be honest, this is all about her. She didn't stop to consider our feelings," Audrey said.
She's right.
"Yeah. She always made everything about herself," Austin said.
He's right.
My mind was a pool of thoughts. They were spiraling out of control. I started to breathe heavier and heavier. The dream world started to spin. Every part of me started to ache. And then, I fell.
I felt two people beside me.
"Are you okay? You're not passed out, are you?" Audrey's voice asked.
"She can't pass out. If she does, then she'll wake up," Austin said.
I rolled around slightly.
"You guys don't think I'm annoying, right?" was the first thing that came out of my mouth. If what I was thinking earlier was true, then I had to confirm. I thought back to when we were inseparable and I don't remember them ever being annoyed at me. But maybe they thought that I was always annoying them and didn't want to tell it to my face.
"No, we don't. You have always been there for us and we love you," Austin said. He then smiled at me. It was a genuine smile. He didn't seem to be faking it, and it didn't seem forced.
"Yeah, why would you think that? We always loved you hanging out with us," Audrey said.
I thought back to when I almost went insane. It did seem like they didn't like me and thought I was annoying. I then explained to them what happened.
"That's weird. We've never said any of that, and this dream isn't all about you. It's about the 3 of us," Austin added.
It was then I knew that they were my real friends. After we lost contact, I've had a few more friends, but they would always try to do things by themselves and when I asked to hang out with them, they would always say that they were busy, or that we could hang out tomorrow. But tomorrow never came.
They were different. Throughout this dream, we were all doing things together. We were getting everyone's inputs on what to do even though it was mainly Austin who picked the activities. But we also wanted to do those things. And trust me when I say that Audrey has the weirdest ice cream combo.
With Alastor
"What, why is this running out of battery? I made it so that it wouldn't!" Alastor said. He was getting frustrated with the machine he was using to make Alina think that her friends were annoyed at her.
"I don't think you did, sir," his assistant said.
"I specifically remember putting infinite batteries in there! It should last all day everyday. She should go insane," Alastor said.
He then looked at his secretary. Throughout this dream, she was always defending Alina and her friends.
"What aren't you telling me?" he asked her.
Alastor's secretary POV:
Usually, I would be supportive of Alastor's inventions. I didn't want to be supportive but since I don't have much to do outside of my life, I kinda have to. He said that if I did anything to sabotage him, he would make my dreams into a nightmare. Even if I tried to make it back into a lucid dream. Yes, I know I was threatened, but this is my escape.
"What aren't you telling me?" Alastor asked me.
Usually I do feel bad for the people we are torturing in these dreams. However, there was something different about these kids. It wasn't until I got a better look at them when I realized that they looked really familiar.
When I was in Kindergarten, I was sitting alone at recess. My parents were fighting again and they didn't pack anything for me for lunch. One of the kids, Alina sat down next to me and offered her lunch to me. She introduced me to her friends, Austin and Audrey, and since then we've been friends. In third grade, Austin moved away and it was just the 3 of us until we lost touch. After we lost touch, I was dreaming and Alastor approached me. At this point, my parents were just always busy and I was left alone all the time. He'd offered me to join him and I did. One time, I told the dreamers what we were doing to them and Alastor caught me. He threatened that if I tried to help any dreamers, or try to sabotage his inventions, then I would lose this job.
"Well???" he asked.
I snapped out of my thoughts.
"What?" I asked.
"What aren't you telling me?" he asked.
"Oh, uhm, nothing," I said. "I was just thinking about what to have for breakfast when I wake up."
I could see that his patience was running out because he wanted to use the thought controller thing again. I could see it in his expression. I could hear it in his voice.
"You eat breakfast?" he asked, amused.
"Yes, I do. It's the most important meal of the day," I said.
"Well then, anyways, I need your help with supercharging this invention more," he said.
Alina POV
"Something weird is going on. The dream shouldn't be like this," Austin said.
"I agree," I said.
Alastor's secretary POV
"Uhm, I'm going to go take a walk," I said.
"Don't be long, I still need your help," Alastor replied.
Then I walked out of the building and near where Alina and her friends are at. I needed to tell them what's happening. I cannot ignore them any longer.
