The art is not mine and I still have no idea who it belongs to and I feel so bad about it.

Slenderman's POV
I desperately hoped that Nightmare would stay in bed as I'm watching tv with Mei and she's asking me questions like "do you know where my mom is?" And "when can I go back to my family?" But I just casually reassured her that they probably have the corruption virus but we will find them one day and everything will be fine one day when suddenly I hear multiple "thump" sounds from upstairs and it sounds almost like an enraged rabbit up there and I just turn the tv up a little bit in the hopes that it will stop soon.

Nightmare's POV
I'm not gonna talk to him because I'm mad that I can't lick the couch but I'm gonna be as annoying as possible and I'm gonna just keep stomping on the floor until he feels annoyed as a perfect revenge plan. (The fever is making him a little crazy and he can't see how irrational his plan is)

Slenderman's POV
It keeps getting louder and I eventually have an idea to stop him in his tracks as I tell Mei to stay (that rhymes) and I go upstairs to deal with him myself and I opened the door to his new room and I found him and he turned and looked directly at me before sticking his tongue out and beginning to jump frantically up and down on the floor..........

Slenderman: stop and get some rest or I will grab you and force you because you need to be resting. I say as I'm thinking "why does he do this to me"

Nightmare: I don't wanna rest I wanna figure what the couch tastes like and what a rainbow tastes like and I want a glass of water!!! He whined angrily while he was upset and all over the place.

Slenderman: sit down on the floor for now and I'll get you a glass of water but no more stomping around okay. I say calmly and clearly but with authority in my tone.

Nightmare: fine. He says as he sits on the floor

Slenderman: I go to grab a glass of water from the kitchen and to my relief Mei is relaxing and watching tv and Nightmare's no longer stomping around all over the place as I walk back upstairs to give him his water.

Nightmare: oh thanks you got me some water. He says happily while carefully taking the cup of water that was offered to him in a calm and mature manner and he sips it while looking directly at me.

Slenderman: also I'll take the cup to the kitchen for you when you're done with it. I say as he drinks half the water and tips the cup upside down onto the wood floor while glaring directly at me while I feel enraged but I try not to show it on my face while once the water is gone from the cup he stares at me with a smug smile as I just keep glaring at him.

Nightmare: that's for not letting me lick the couch!!! He says with a serious and stern look on his face as if he was the boss.

Slenderman: okay I'll be right back. I say with a hint of bitterness in my tone as I pick up the cup and put it in the kitchen sink before going back upstairs again and I walk back in with a look of pure disappointment as I say..... that's it I'm making you rest. I say as I pick him up and with him still in my hold I sit on the bed and wait for him to fall asleep because he's sick and eventually with no stimulation he will have to fall asleep from boredom and from feeling sick eventually.

Nightmare: let me go because this is a fight you can't win because I refuse to give up that easily!!! He said to me with that smug yet mischievous look in his eyes as he wiggles one of his tentacles in front of my face like a fishing lure while trying to slowly sneak out of my hold but I kept a firm grip on his as he kept whining and whining and it was getting annoying like I really wanna just beat him up right now but I'm not gonna because he's sick and delusional so he's a danger to himself and others but eventually he was wiggling all of his tentacles as an attempt to distract me but it didn't work because I've done that exact tactic before in an attempt to distract my old friends when I was younger and eventually he fell asleep so I carefully tucked him into the bed and then I cleaned the water off the floor and once I did all that I shut the door to his new room and I walked downstairs and got greeted by Mei.

Mei: You missed eight episodes of whatever was just on this cable channel that's like two whole hours but don't worry I can recap it if you want. She said to me and I said. Sure. So she recapped everything from eight different episodes of eight different shows as he stayed asleep for the rest of the day but I stayed up to make sure he wouldn't try anything weird if he woke up.

Author's Note
This is the end of this chapter and I really hope someone reads this book because there are many more villains to come and I plan to make this a 500+ chapter book one day but the only thing that would stop me was if either my mom read this and made me stop writing it or if this phone breaks as this is an account that's only backed up on this phone but they're gonna fight just about everyone imaginable and when I feel that we've done pretty much every fandom imaginable or I feel satisfied than they will all team up to fight a final boss of sorts also I plan on adding other sanses in here eventually but this book will be full of killing and occasional language so it's rated mature but I hope everyone stays safe and enjoys their life or at the bare minimum that life is going fine for them.
