Bruno ate breakfast and lunch with you in his room. After breakfast, you had fallen back to sleep, and Bruno would change your icepack whenever it got warm. He made sure there was water on the nightstand for you, and he sat on his bed beside your sleeping figure. He watched videos listening to the audio through headphones to not wake you up. Most of them were about the news and random videos that would pop up from time to time, but he would glance at you ever so often. He didn't want to push you to tell him what happened early that morning, and he wanted you to get better first. While you were asleep, you went through many dreams. Most of them, you would find yourself in situations where you were walking through random streets or beautiful scenarios. Right now, you were walking through a field of wheat with the sun shining down on you. The dream was peaceful, and you were enjoying the sun. 

   " It seems you've fallen ill. "

I looked to your left and saw the same man from your other dreams. He wore the same clothing, and his colors didn't change. He still looked pale, and his clothes were the same. The only difference was that he wasn't wearing his mask. His mask was hung on his side, and his hands were in his pockets. There was a small smile on his face that seemed calm. His eyes were bright red, and they were focused on the sky. He stood in the wheat field, but there was a cliff that dipped down, and he was standing at the cliff. 

   " Who are you? "

   " You really never noticed? "

   " You were in my dreams before? Those years ago? "

   " And you didn't notice. I am hurt.

   " What is your name? "

   " The name is Shao Xin at your service, my dear. " He said, bowing.

   " I've never heard your name before. "

   " Because I am not real. I am only a controller of dreams. Why don't you let me remind you of who I came from? "  He asked with his red eyes turning towards you.

   " No, I'm good I really don't want to-Hey! "

Shao had teleported from his spot to the spot in front of you and placed his hands on your head. 

   " I'll remind you of who my creator was. "

You felt a heavy pressure on your head, and you started to remember. 

( Flashback )

   " That could be it. It's all I've got so far. This time I could also see another figure. But there was no detail. I know it was a man and he hid in the shadows of a tree. He didn't have any features and it was just a 3D silhouette. He was black and there was a red outline around his figure. I only glanced at him for a second but when I did he grew a creepy red smile. " Cindy said.

   " How creepy? "

   " Creepy to the point it was basically an evil pumpkin smile. And I'm not talking about the pumpkins that have square teeth. I'm talking about the ones that have wide grins and it's sharp, almost razor-blade edges. "

   " That is creepy. "

   " You're telling me. He was only there for a second before he was gone and then it was just the man and me. "

----------------------

You heard the police sirens, and luckily they were close. The cars pulled up on the side of the street, and the cops got out and raced towards the two of you. They restrained you and your mother, pulling you two apart. When the cop felt you relax, he let go realizing you were the victim. They pushed your mother to the ground as she continued to scream. Handcuffs met her wrists, and they took her to their car, all the while she never stopped screaming.

   " Let me kill her! "

   " I want to sleep! "

   " I want to shut my eyes and rest! "

   " I'm gonna kill you! "

   " One way or another you're dead! I'm not the only one he's been talking to! "

( Flashback Over )

You blinked and a few times after realizing who Shao was. His hands were still on your head, and the pressure was gone, but it slowly started to come back.

   " And this one is from your mother's memories. "

You closed your eyes as your mother's memories started to enter your head,

Your mother still sat at the table in the kitchen. Her son just went outside to leave, and she didn't even notice him leaving. She listened to her daughter, but she didn't want to sleep. The figure she saw earlier looked so real that she thought someone had entered her home. The figure that haunts her in her dreams.

   ' I thought he was really here. '

When you were standing in front of her, she thought she saw the silhouette of a man standing behind you. She couldn't see any features; the figure was only a silhouette. The figure was pitch black, with no details, and he had a purple outline around the edge of his figure. The only feature he had on was the wicked red smile that spread across his cheeks, in a wide horrifying grin, with no teeth. It looked like it was a demon.

The figure stood behind you, and its hand was holding your left arm while its other arm was lying across your chest. The figure was close to your back, and she could see it would be looking at her if it had eyes. Grinning at her, as if it was claiming you. She noted how it stood there, and you never saw the man's silhouette. It wasn't until she stood up and yelled for the figure to go away that it disappeared.

She noticed something else as well. There was another figure that was watching. In the corner of the room, there was another dark figure watching, and it looked just like the other figure with the purple outline. Except there was no red smile, and the glowing outline wasn't purple; it was red. Only when she looked up at it did it spread a smile like the other one.

You opened your eyes and grabbed Shao's wrist to get his hands off of your forehead. You pushed his hands up and pushed them away from you. You moved back few steps through the tall wheat, trying to get away from him.

   " What are you exactly? "

Shao chuckled, and he started to walk forward, with a grin present on his face and his red eyes glowing.

   " Oh, my dear, I am a copy of Ji-Young. A long time ago Ji-Young had thought to make a copy of himself in case anything were to happen to him. So, he created me. I have all of his memories, but I was meant to follow after his steps or a corpse if you will for him to inhabit if he died. Sadly it didn't work as much as he would have liked. "

   " How so? " You asked hesitantly.

   " He wanted me to be him, to be his exact copy, but as you can tell from my appearance, red outline, and voice I am very much different from him. I am my own person. I am not Ji-young number two. I am Shao Xin a controller of dreams. Ji-Young created me after his peak in power and I started to inhabit it along with my own. After sometime I started to hide in the shadows of your mind so you wouldn't notice, but I think now is a perfect time to reveal myself. "

   " Why now? What have you been doing all these years? "

   " I've been training my power and will to control your mind better than what Ji-Young could ever do. And don't you realize what day was yesterday? Bruno must have at least told you what happened on that day when you awoke not remembering Ji-Young. "

   " Yesterday? I don't understand what was yesterday? "

   " Think, Y/n why were we at Ji-Young's grave yesterday? And today we are in a beautiful field on a cliff? "

It clocked in your head, and you felt a small amount of sweat fall from the side of your face.

   " It was the day Ji-Young died. "

   " Yes, so I decided to reveal myself to you. However, when you leave this place, you won't remember any of this. Not until you fall asleep, and return to me in this dream world. "

   " You can't do that. That's not possible-"

   " But it is. There are moments a person will wake up and they don't remember the dream they had just lived through, even if it was perfect to the last detail. I have spent these last four years cultivating my power, and now I've perfected it. So, now you will wake. "

Your vision started to get dizzy, and you felt yourself starting to wake up.

   " No, I will stay here! "

Your vision quickly cleared up, and you glared at Shao. He only smirked.

   " So, you want to stay here, with me? "

   " No, but there are still somethings we need to get straight. "

   " Maybe when you're not sick. Now, awake. "

Your vision got dizzy, and you found yourself sitting up in Bruno's bed with your icepack falling off your head. Bruno set his phone down and took out his earplugs.

   " Hey, what's with the suddenness? Lay back down and rest. "

   " I don't want to sleep anymore. "
