Micheal had insisted that they all get some sleep before they even attempted to get the Megalodon to eat the green bottle so he locked Nate inside his room once more. Nate understands the reasons for locking him in and he doesn't mind it. Today however, the visions are so much worse than before. His head hurts like hell and he ends up looking at his reflection. Blood falls down from his eyes and mouth. He steps away and starts touching his face, feeling the stickiness of blood on his cheeks. His panicking and starting to pace while muttering "No...nonononono...I'm dying?"

He hears that cold voice once again "Hahaha, your not dying~ That is how you have always looked~ You are returning to how you looked from the start~"

Nate cowers as tears fall down his face, tears he sees as bloody "No! Please...d-dad...help" he whimpers, feeling his sanity starting to sleep even more until the voice suddenly fades to a barely audible sound before completely disappearing. Nate looks up to see his dad, standing there giving him a gentle smile. "I...I'm losing my mind...t-this bloody face isn't mine...right?" he asks fear on his face.

"That isn't your face" he agrees, coming over to sit next to Nate who has fallen to a sitting position and brings his knees up to his chest.

"Y-Yeah...I didn't think so but...these visions...they're really getting to me" he whispers, shaking lightly.

Crisp gently hugs him and feels Nate start to cry into his shirt "It's alright...you're going to be alright...these nightmarish visions will end soon" he hates not being able to help him more but he knows that Nate can handle it.

"I can't sleep...I can barely be sane while awake...I...I fear I am losing this battle dad" he admits, tears streaming down his face.

Crisp thinks "Ms. Artist, can I please just do one thing?" he doesn't get a response but feels like it'll be fine so he pulls some medicine bottle out of his pocket "Here" he says handing them to Nate.

"What are these?" he asks, taking the bottle and turning it this way and that, eyeing the pills inside.

"Nothing bad" he promises "Remember that thing I did to let you sleep without having any more of these walking visions?" Nate nods and Crisp continues "I made that into those pills. This way you can get some sleep even if I am unable to be here right when you need me" he gently touches his son's cheek and Nate smiles, clutching the medicine bottle tightly.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"Thanks dad" he says "I know I can always count on you to help me when I need it."

"Of course. I love you son" he kisses Nate's forehead before adding "Go back and get some sleep."

Nate nods "Good night dad." He disappears from the dreamscape to return to reality. Sitting on the edge of his bed, he takes one of the pills, just a single one and instantly passes out.

Crisp appears inside the room and smirks at his son. "Couldn't even get fully in bed before taking it." He moves Nate's body so he's fully in the bed and pulls the blankets over him. "Goodnight Nate" he whispers, kissing his forehead before he teleports outside the door, unlocking it since Nate won't be waking dreaming tonight, then he goes to check on his brother.

Micheal is in the main area, checking the radar and everything else "Ok...the Megalodon is still outside...the magic is still strong...what else could happen? My nephew is going crazy, a giant shark wants to eat us, and who knows what else is out there!"

"Are...you ok?" Crisp asks eyeing his brother.

"No! Maybe...I don't know right now to be honest..." he sighs before asking "Why did you pick me to lead? We both know you should be the one leading this, not me..."

Crisp leans against the command board and says "Because Nate keeps too much in when I'm involved. He needs to grow but it's almost like he refuses to grow as long as I'm around him."

"Makes sense...you're so powerful there'd be no need to grow stronger yourself" Micheal says sliding under the machine to mess with some loose wirings, getting them back in place "But that doesn't explain why you picked me?"

"I choose you because I know you can grow as well from this...and it's a little fun seeing you freaking out so much. Almost like payback for the past" he smiles amusedly.

"I deserve that" he says.

"You're doing great...just keep on doing your best" Crisp says pushing off the command board.

Micheal slips out from under the board to stare at him "Nate is awakening something new inside himself, isn't he?"

"....I hope so. The power is starting to awaken but it's not awoken yet just...keep an eye on him especially with what's going on with his vision ability...something is messing up his vision ability to replace it with false visions." Crisp looks at Micheal who nods.

"I'll do my best...thanks for visiting" he adds before Crisp vanishes, teleporting back home to find a sleeping Molly.

"She really can't seem to go home" Redacted says a little annoyed.

Crisp sighs "I'll take her home." He carefully picks her up and takes her home, laying her down in Micheal's bed.

She twists a little and burrows under the covers, mumbling "Micheal~"

Crisp smiled a little and gently ruffled her hair "I'm glad you found my brother." He gently pulls a blanket over her and heads back to his home to find Redacted, relaxing inside their home for a change.

"Thanks dad" he says smiling at Crisp who returns the smile and ruffles Redacted's hair.
