The Nightmare [Darkiplier x Reader] Chapter 6

You walked out of the portal into an incredulous market of monsters and nightmares. There were tiny Imps with pitchforks, Bogeymen, and a few horror movie icons. Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers were having a stare down over a fresh corpse while Freddy shook his head disapprovingly. Ogres and Orcs waddled past, pushing smaller demons out of their way. A horrid stench assaulted your nostrils making you retch. You were far away from the market but the smell surrounded you. It was the landscape mixed with the monsters. Wade, Matthias, Bob, and Jack popped out of the portal.

Jack saw you were uncomfortable. He placed a hand on your shoulder, and with the other hand, wispy light began to form. He lifted his hand gently to your nose. The light filled in your nose. It smells of fresh lilac and vanilla. You couldn’t smell anything else besides that.

“This should help you, lass. We’ll only be here for a moment,” Jack smiled. “I’ll have to put a glamour spell on you so you fit in.”

He grabbed out a pouch and chanted something under his breath. He sprinkled whatever that was on you. Your friends smirked. You looked at them confused. You still looked the same from what you could see. Matthias handed you a mirror. You saw disheveled black and white hair, sunken in eyes, and a red billowy dress. You couldn’t believe what you were seeing. You looked like a Banshee!

“It won’t last long, so let’s get going,” Jack said, offering you his arm. You politely hooked your arm around his.

Your group walked from vendor to vendor, gathering strange and sometimes grotesque looking merchandise. Nobody was paying your group any mind. The glamour spell must be working just fine. ‘Jack must be an amazing spell caster,’ you thought.

“Just one more stop for Dark and then we’re done,” Wade said with relief. “I hate hanging around here.”

“Jack and I will be back. You guys try to keep out of trouble,” Bob scolded.
Him and Jack walked into a dark brick building. You stood outside the building with Wade and Matthias. You were always awkward with conversations so you kept quiet.


“What’s taking them so long?” Wade wondered aloud.

You wondered that too. With every passing monster, your heart jumped into your throat. Some were gorgeous while others were horribly disfigured. Another Orc was passing by but stopped. You heard him snorting the air. His black eyes fell to you. You tried not to flinch. You held your breath, and tried avoiding his eyes. He quickly stalked over to you.

“What are you?” he called in a harsh, deep voice.

You remained silent, trying to give him your best poker face.

“Don’t make me ask again! Your kind don’t smell like you do! So, what are you?!” he commanded.

“Hey, Buddy! Can’t you see the lady doesn’t want to talk with you,” Matthias said.

“Besides, you asked again anyway,” Wade commented.

They both stood in between you and the Orc. Your stance faltered, letting fear show. The Orc grinned and began laughing. You were confused until you saw your reflection in a nearby puddle. The glamour wore off. You weren’t in a guise anymore!

“A human! I knew I smelled something funny!” the Orc laughed.

All the creatures turned to you. They moved in slowly, licking their lips or getting their weapons ready. Some were arguing over who would you have what part of you. Others were talking about how much you would sell for. You three were surrounded.

You began getting grabbed by your wrists. Your clothes were being stretched and ripped. Matthias punched away some of the attackers. He exploded a few of them with one punch. They squelched with the hit and sprayed blood. Wade slashed at them with his mole claws. Blood and body parts flew everywhere. But you were still being backed into the building with no means of escape. Tears began welling in your eyes. There were too many monsters. You closed your eyes, tears staining your cheeks.

“_________!” Jack shouted.

Your eyes popped open. Jack and Bob finally ran out, helping to defend you. Bob turned into a huge black panther! He pounced from monster to monster, ripping clothes as well as limbs off. Jack conjured green balls of fire and threw them into the crowd. He scorched a few within seconds. They were all amazing but terrifying fighters.

“Sammy!” Jack called.

Sam popped up on your shoulder.

“Get _________ out of here!”

Sam gave a salute with his tail. He jumped off your shoulder, turning into a portal. You hesitated. A monster grabbed your ankle, tripping you. It was skeletal. Its mouth was about to bite down. You screamed as you kicked its skull in. You scrambled to your feet, and ran through the portal. Before the portal closed, Jack gave you a handful of cash. His hand disappeared as did the portal. You waited to see if Sam was with you. He wasn’t.

You stood in an alleyway. Cars honked their horns from the street. People were laughing or casually talking while walking by. The ground was wet with fresh rain. You were in a city. You looked around at the buildings. They looked familiar. Then it dawned on you.
You were in a city close by your hometown! You looked at the cash in your fist. You counted it, discovering you had more than enough for food. Speaking of which, you noticed a fast food restaurant. Your rule of shopping for food was to never shop on an empty stomach. As if on cue, your stomach rumbled.

After your meal, you left sipping on the drink still. You felt calmer than you had when you arrived. The closest grocery store was a few blocks away. It was a small mom and pop store, but the prices were better than any big name company. As you were walking, you took in the sites. You hadn’t been downtown since you were a kid. You stopped and looked down. Your family…you may never see them again. You didn’t have enough money for a cab to drive you to your house. Even so, Darkiplier or Jack would find you and take you back. You wished you had your phone or at least, wished a payphone was still relevant.

A news station began playing on nine stacked television sets in the store you stopped in front of. Old fashioned, right? A stereo hooked up to the television played the audio outside the store. You stared at the time and date it had on the channel. It was the same date and around the same time you left?! ‘How does time progress in the other realm?!’ you questioned. Your thoughts were halted when you saw the next news article. JonTron and Jacques’ pictures showed up.

“The famous YouTuber JonTron, and his pet bird, Jacques are missing. If anyone has any info you are to call this number…”

Jon and Jacques are missing?! But the imposter sent him back…didn’t he? What the hell is going on?!

You hurried to the store. You got a cart full of groceries. You worried you may have gotten too much. A portal appeared a few feet from the cart corral. You saw Jack, smiling and waving. You rushed in with the cart. It closed and Sam hopped onto your shoulder.

“You got enough food there, lass?” Jack joked.

“I-I was actually thinking we all could share it. I remember Darkiplier liking the granola bars I had. So I wanted everyone to try some food from my realm, as well,” you explained.

Jack hugged you tight. “You’re so thoughtful, lassie!”
Everyone helped you put away the groceries you got. They made sure not to have their food touch yours.

“What took you guys so long?” Darkiplier asked, angrily.

“We had a few admirers.” Jack answered vaguely.

“Monsters spotted _________ and we had to fight. Then she went to her realm to get food for herself,” Bob explained.

Jack glared daggers at Bob. Bob shrugged the stare off.


Dinner time came. Everyone made their own meal but you all sat down at a long table together. You weren’t too hungry after having the meal from earlier. You just made a simple sandwich with some chips. Darkiplier sat at the head of the table. You and Jack sat beside him. Bob, Wade, and Matthias sat in their respective spots.

“I have some news,” you began.

“Good news or bad news?” Wade asked.

“You’re pregnant,” Jack belted out.

Your face was painted red. “No I’m not!” Jack laughed.

“Not yet…” Darkiplier said under his breath, staring at you. “Let her speak.”

“…I met JonTron and Jacques in my dream the same night I met the imposter and you guys. He was promised to go back. But as I was in my realm, there was a news story the said he and his bird were missing.”

“The imposter probably killed him.” Matthias stated unemotionally.

“I…was afraid someone would say that,” you answered.


Everyone finished their dinner. Bob and Wade were in charge of washing the dishes. You heard occasional yelling from Bob for Wade splashing water on him on accident, three times.

“Hey, are you okay?” Jack asked. “Today was a rough day for ya, huh?”

“Yeah. I should be fine,” you lied.

Jack placed his hand on your shoulder. You looked up into his black and green and black and blue eyes. It looked like he had genuine worry for you. Your heart rate quickened. He stared directly into your eyes. It felt like he was trying to penetrate your soul. He leaned in and gave you a quick peck on your forehead.

“You two seem really close,” Darkiplier interjected suddenly.

He was standing inches from you and Jack. You staggered before falling on your butt.

“You okay?” Jack asked, reaching out his arm to pick you up.

Dark threw his arm up to block Jack. Jack reluctantly backed off.

“Yeah. I’m just really tired now.”

“A warm bath is ready for you. After that, then it’s bed,” Darkiplier commanded while walking away.

You didn’t complain. You took a bath and got dressed in a nightgown that was set on your bed. As soon as your head hit the pillow, the world around you faded to black.
