.: Twenty-Three's P.o.V. :.

They have been walking for so long, passing some more traps which caused all of them to be on high alert. Even in the late afternoon, the sky is still so dull and it was a tad bit cold, and Twenty-Three felt exhausted, but didn't want to say it.

Luckily most of what they passed were parkour and more parkour. Which totally took lots of her small energy. I mean, she was the only one from the three other kids who haven't passed out, so she was the only one tired.

While walking, Six and Seven continued on talking about other things they've experience before they met the two of them. Doll camps, Nomes, those things, she and Mono shared some of their experiences, yep, some. They didn't know how to tell those two about the thing of being a couple, but they will tell them, just not... yet.

Twenty-Three sighed once she remembered what Six said about the saving that monster. Out of all monsters, that monster who looked like Six and wanted Twenty-Three dead, really? Those Nomes must've been crazy, but Seven trusts any Nome with his life, so they must have a good reason.

"Hey, TT, TT!"

She snapped out of her thought and turned to the one calling her, which was Mono, "Hm?"

"You seem to be out of it... Do you want to rest? I know you didn't got any rest," he said, she could even see his worried face even with that paperbag over his face. She find it quite sweet he is always worried for her... even before this stupid world travelling.

"Actually I'd like that, my feet are getting sore," Six said and Mono turned to her, "I wasn't asking you though," he said.

Seven snicked, "Daaaaang boi," he said and Six elbowed his side, "Oh shut up," she teased. Twenty-Three giggled as well, and thought about it. She was tired. Really. Friggin. Tired. "You won't mind it right?"

"Of course not! We all need a rest from time to time, and you're the one who needs it the most," Mono said. Well, he ain't wrong. Six nodded as well, "I want a rest, my feet are sore," she said.

"Okay, let's take a quick rest," she said. Mono smiled at her and held her hand, "Great! C'mon guys let's go find a place to rest for the meantime," he said. Seven rose his eyebrow when he saw Mono just casually hold her hand and place it in his pocket, that boy's gonna have some answering to do.

They all walked on until they saw a small clearing, but was hidden from the trees and bushes so the Hunter or other monsters couldn't find them quickly. "We can stay here, hey Sev let's go get something for the fire," Mono said while looking at him, Seven nodded, "Rodger that," he said as he and Mono walked away to pick up some nearby branches.

Six sat beside Twenty-Three by the tree, "Hmmmm, now that the boys are gone... I wanna asked you something, TT," she said while facing her. Twenty-Three tiled her head, "What do you want to talk about?"

Six's face was hard to figure out, but there was something in her mind. What did she want to talk about suddenly with just the both of them? Was it serious? Or was it just the simple teasing about the whole time she was with Mono?

"Do you... Are you hiding something from the all of us?" She asked. Twenty-Three blinked, that was sudden question she wasn't prepared for. Why was Six asking that? Did her disagreeing with the Monster Six idea caused some suspicion or something? Wait, does she even know about Monster Six?

Did Six knew that and why was she asking now?

"I'm fine, why did you asked about that?" Twenty-Three asked. Six pursed her lips, "Well... It's just I had a dream about you just recently... it wasn't a good one so I just want to know if you are really okay," Six said while smiling.

"Oh well, that is something. What was the dream about?" Twenty-Three asked. Six opened her mouth to speak, but she closed it again, she can't say all the details, like Oh well you kinda betrayed me and turned me to monster I guess. "Well, you seemed to be out of it. Like you were that counterpart of yours. All mean and psychotic."

"Oh," Twenty-Tree chuckled, "That is a nice way to describe Doll Twenty-Three. But really, I'm fine. Sure Doll me is giving nightmares recently and I do get scared, but I'm fine," I hope so, she thought.

"Well okay, just tell us when you start slipping to insanity, or if that counterpart will mess with it. Imma beat her up for you," Six grinned. Twenty-Three giggled, "I'll keep you noted."

"Hey, what are cousins for after all," Six said with a smile. Twenty-Three grinned, it made her remember the first time she met her. Her mother may not have took Six under her care, she and Six still had the best friendship there is when Twenty-Three expected Six to hate her because of her mom.

"We're back!" Seven announced, "What are you girls talking about?" Mono asked. They looked at each other and smiled, "Nothing, just girls stuff," Six waved her hand dismissively, and pulled out her lighter, "Here, you can use this to made the fire," she said.

Mono nodded as he and Seven dumped the wood to the ground, and took the lighter, "Thanks," he said while getting to work. Once the fire was lit, its warmth surrounded them and Twenty-Three reached her hands out to the fire, and Mono went to sit down where Six sat before.

Six didn't mind it and want to sit beside Seven. Twenty-Three felt her exhaustion take over her and she sighed while leaning onto Mono's shoulder, and Mono wrapped around an arm around her, which was comforting. Slowly, she lulled to sleep.

.: Six's P.o.V. :.

Six took in the warmth of the fire, she thought about what Twenty-Three said, and her dream... She already had a suspicion about the monster they'll might free... And if it was all her fault, no wonder TT wasn't fond of the idea. But what if that monster is nice? Six would never know.

She looked to see Twenty-Three quickly asleep on Mono's shoulder, and Mono had his arm around her. Six paused, processing what was happening infront of her. She nearly missed cute moment while she was busy with her thoughts, she turned to Seven to hope he had noticed it, and he did as well.

She turned back to Mono, "Just what the-" her voice was a bit loud, but she couldn't help it since her shipping was showing.

Mono quickly shushed her. Six closed her mouth, and spoke in a softer tone, "Just... what.... am I seeing," she wondered. Mono looked away, like he was embarrassed, "I-I'm just comforting her, and TT likes it so I felt like doing it," he said while pulling her closer. "Yeah no shit, from here we can feel the sense of protectiveness radiating from you," Six giggled.

"It's like you're her boyfriend, so cute," Seven teased, Six agreed. Mono stayed silent, then chuckled while looking at the both of them, "Cause I am."

The two stopped their teasings, Six's jaw drop again, "WHA-" she took a deep breath when she realized she's screaming again, "W h a t," she exclaimed in a lower tone. Mono grinned, "I said what I said."

"Bro you better tell us the details," Seven said while slapping his hand on his other one urgently, Six nodded, "Yeah you better tell us," she squinted at him, "Did the two of you kissed already?" She asked.

Mono scratched his cheek, "Yeah."

Six and Seven held onto each other, the couple celebrated for their friends finally getting together after Lord knows how long. "Details!!!" Seven exclaimed not that loudly and Six nodded. Mono laughed awkwardly before clearing his throat, tell them most of the details, which made the both of them squeal. It was cute, with some angst, but nevertheless cute.

"Oh my goddddd, I'm so proud. Our Mono and our Twenty-Three are together now," Six said while placing a hand on her heart and imitated of wiping a tear, Seven nodded, "They grow up so fast."

Mono snickered, "Speak for yourselves!" They all shared a good laugh, god, it felt good even if they are now in a dire situation. Six smirked at him, "Hey Mono, you better sure take care of her kay? You know who her cousin is, you know how I get mad," she threatened.

"Oh yeah you better do, I also got my eyes on you young man," Seven threatened. Mono rose his hand, "Rest assured, your Twenty-Three is in safe hands. I promise that I will never hurt her," he said.

"And protect her!" Seven said.

"Yes, I will as well," Mono nodded his head. Seven smirked, "Huh, so this is how it feels to threaten someone huh?" He wondered out loud.

"Oh shut up Seven," Mono chuckled. Seven laughed while raising his eyebrow, "Oh really? Wasn't it true? While you aimed that ladle over my neck?" He said.

"And I will do it again if you don't shut up," Mono threatened and Seven closed his mouth. Six snorted, "Ah well, while the two of you continue to just threaten each other, Imma take a nap."

"Sixxy why don't you put your head on my shoulder or on my lap? Mono and TT's cuteness makes me jelly," Seven said and Six rolled her eyes, "Okay baby," she teased while leaning her head on his shoulder.

"You copycat," Mono said and Seven stook his tongue out. Six chuckled as she closed her eyes, she didn't want to actually nap, but she would want to do that than getting hungry.

==================

.: Twenty-Three's P.o.V. :.

Once she slept, she woke up again in the cold room. Oh just great, Twenty-Three thought. She tried moving her wrists, and noticed that it wasn't chained. She paused, wasn't this that cold cell?

There was footsteps ahead, and Twenty-Three walked straight ahead, she felt a metal door. She tried to open it, but failed. She felt the door and noticed a sliding window below it, she tried pulled it aside, and it did.

On the other side, was rows of other metal doors. There was also white walls and white ceilings. The footsteps was from a walking... thing. It had a mannequin's body, but seemed to be loosing some limbs... and a head. There was a doll child following behind, it carried something behind them, Twenty-Three realized that they just want to prank the walking mannequin.

Why was she not chained? Could she be able to get out?

From the looks of the outside, it looked like a Hospital.

Ok, great. She could've been thrown into some loony bin with all these creepy looking wards. She looked around the dark room she is in, she didn't felt her cloak on her either, and it was so cold it peirced her skin.

She padded the door again, and felt the knob. She tried to open it, but obviously it was locked. She heard footsteps again and backed up, there was a jingle of keys before the door opened. Twenty-Three hid in the darkness, there was a doll. Fear crept in her skin, what if that thing tortures her?

The doll looked around before leaving, not even closing the door. That was odd. Twenty-Three carefully tip-toed over the opening, the doll was gone, but there was a skittering noise. She looked to the side of the hallway to see a hand, just a hand standing there, it rose its pinky and urged her to come to her.

She had second thoughts, won't that hurt her? The hand still tried to urge her to come closer. What if it chokes her? Or drag her to somewhere else?

Well, if that was the case, it should've ambushed her. It's just standing there for god's sake.

Twenty-Three decided to step on out and walked up to the hand. When she got close it skittered away. She caught up and followed the hand, careful not to make any noises, who knows what the other wards contained.

When the hand reached near the end, there was barred gates as well. Who ever wants to escape here must have a hard time, Twenty-Three mused, like those in asylums.

There was a cold hum in the air. The hand scratched a door and went in the opening below it. Twenty-Three ran to the door and peeked inside, it was dark, but she could smell the stench of blood, and the humming got louder. Twenty-Three squinted to see there was a figure inside who held on the hand, they turned to her, and she just froze.

"She's targeting you," the figure inside warned, no doubt was a girl. It was weird, she also had Twenty-Three's voice. Before she could talk, the figure continued, "You're going to be killed. I can expect that."

Twenty-Three paused, someone wants to kill her? Well she could understand that there are lots of things wanting to kill her and the others, but this didn't seem like that kind.

"She wants to be free from the curse. Not even I know how to break it... Why did she even drag you into this," they mumbled.

"Are you... What are you talking about? Who are you? What curse?" Twenty-Three wondered out loud.

The figure inside cuckled, "Oh Twenty-Three, do I still need to tell you who? I think we both know who I am talking about. The one who gave us misfortune."

Her counterpart, that was blantly obvious. Twenty-Three faced the figure, who were they? "And... who... are you?"

The figure let the hand down and walked closer to the door, a sound of chains clattered and stopped. Twenty-Three froze when she saw... herself. She looked a year older than her, or it must've been the scars which some were still bleeding, and weaing a white bloodstained wrinkled dress. She had a crazed look, like she fit right in the Hospital.

"I'm you of this Nightmare Realm. When you find me in the Hospital, I'll explain everything. Also, sorry about that torture dream, I had to show you that so you'll have an idea what I've been through," she explained, "Now get up."

Before Twenty-Three could as more, she woke up.

==================

.: Third Person :.

She woke up, the hand beside her rose their fingers, as if looking at her. Even up till now, she can't believe that most of the mannequins liked her better than doll children did. The girl pat the hand, which caused a sting to her arms. She sighed, "Get some bandages for me, please," she ordered and the hand crawled away.

She lied back down again, her head pounding. As much as she wanted it to end, she still had to hold on a bit. She has to fix what she did wrong.

The Nightmare Twenty-Three closed her eyes, it was the only thing she can do now, rest and repeat.
