Today Is A Good Day
In a large room full of people with the eyes full of fear and the desesperation of being about to die a tender girl with a white hair and black eyes was sitted in the corner his look was more lost than the others.
"Do you want a potatoe, i tried to peel it but i think it ended very bad..." A kid that seemed of the same age of her offered a crude peeled potatoe his red hands showed how much effort he put on it.
"...What's the point, you are deaf? We are gonna die in some weeks we are just being used for hard-works the ones i assume you stealed that...you know what happens to-" The kid putted the potatoe in her mouth and just in that moment her belly sounded with hungry.
With a blush she eated it without saying nothing while the kid looked at her with a sufficiency grin, the potatoe tasted very badly but was better than nothing.
There was no sunlight in the concentration room but somehow everything seemed with more light.

Iris awaked in her bed painting heavily, her nose stopped being restricted by her pillow and the air passed freely for her lungs.
It was day-time and the room looked cozy more cozy that she ever feeled it, the rain stopped and so makes the fight of her parents.
She searched in the surroundings for Hollow and there he was smiling to her sitting in the center of the room all his bruishes and patches gone instead he looked like new just like the first day she received it.
Her door opened and Lorreta entered with John both of them seeming happy her mother was carrying a birthday cake full of colorfull candles her smile was tender and motherly.
John haved a dress in his hands she recognized very well but this was just like the day they gived it to her, her mother getted closer and Iris tried to stand up but her mother hand pressed her chest backwards making her lay comfortably in her bed.
"Is your birthday numer eleven sweetie no need for you to stand up yet, right honey?" John sitted next to her and petted her head brushing her hair tenderly.
"Of course there is no hurry is your special day princess you can be in bed all day if you want and tell us your desires, like the game we used to play when you were a little girl." Iris started crying without realizing it and tried to talk like all that other time she wanted to say something her parents.
"I love you!" Iris talked very loudly from the effort as she started painting from the situation, she can talk!
Her father hugged her with love and affection as her mother putted the cake in ground and did the same, Hollow stopped watching and camed to hug her to.
"We love you to silly." Iris tears flowed uncontrollably of her eyes as she started crying like her birth hugging the three with all the strong her body could provide.
This was all she wanted and more like god heared her prayers and maked them real, but the next words of his father maked her tremble.
"Hollow you did want to gift her something to right? Is your moment!" Iris looked at her father with pure confusion how could he see Hollow now he never did before.
"Yes i bet she will be super happy for it." Her confusion just grow when her mother talked as the weird thing of this started to flow up.
How she could talk? How her parents can see Hollow? And most importantly why they were so happy?
"Is something off Iris?" Hollow question getted her out of her mind as the three looked at her with truw worry.
"Daddy...why i can talk?" John tremled a bit but answered with a smile.
"You don't remember? We operated you long time ago so you could finally communicate, in this special week we want you to get so many fun as you can!" Iris goed a little backwards from the unusual excitement of his father.
"I was operated? But i thought the condition i haved was-" Her mother putted a reassuring hand in her shoulder with tenderness seeming truly worried.
"You are fine dear, all is fine now i promise you that, how about you use this week to enjoy the things you most like?" Iris looked more and more confused as the fact of the week repeated but this time from her mother lips.
Her father looked thinking about what was happening and Hollow was between both seeming equaly confused about her demeanor but she only finded this weird and alien to her.
"What about if you only enjoy this Iris?" Hollow talked suddenly but his words seemed more distant than usual all her family looked her with eyes full of acceptance and love as Hollow words sinked in her mind.
Hollow was right what about if she only enjoyed it? What about if this was truly real? All other things losed sense in her view as she reciprocated the smile of her family.
"I want to hug all of you forever!" They smiled and hugged her with affection Iris eventually stopped thinking about all confusing things and focused solely on this piece of heaven they gived to her.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hollow opened his eyes to find himself surrounded of darkness the full moon was up in the sky he was in a forest the big trees blocking his view and the light of the moon barely served for see where he walked.
His teddy paws walked in the cold grass that maked a ugly sound in each step he gaved, the eerie silence of the forest only maked things worse and the fact Iris wasn't near maked him someway feel incomplete.
"Iris is surely crying right now i should hurry and find her." Hollow quicked the step as he walked throught the apparently eternal forest.
Eventually he reached a clear valley with a creepy giant building on the center he recognized not only by the structure but by the flag on it.
"A swastika that was the flag of the Nazis...if the history books of Iris were right." Hollow getted closer due this being the only different thing in all the surroundings.
The building seemed to get more and more big with each step he gived the doors of the fence were opened for him to enter.
Hollow looked at the camps outside the building they were totally empty without any harvest to colect, the only sound in the surrounding was his steps that seemed to sound incredible strong due the eerie silence.
"This looks like a concetration camp, i remember Iris having a homework of making a history resume of this." Hollow entered inside the building and passed throught the dirty corridors.
As he wandered throught the insides a the silence started to fade replaced by the snoring of a creature, Hollow getted more slower and turned to other corridor in which he finded a giant door that seemed to lead a opened part on the inside of the bulding.
He getted more and more slower for not make any noise and when he reached the door he peeked throught a side for see from where the snoring was coming.
Hollow eyes opened with horror at saw the thing in the middle of the open space it was unrecognizable with the dark but it was huge, the clouds that covered the moon started to move away as he was about to see the sleeping thing but he was pulled backwards.
Hollow screamed but fortunely the other hand of the one that pulled him backwards covered his mouth and pulled him into the dark.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eighty swinged her legs at the edge of the eternal abyss with a lost look, she knowed she must go up there it was her objective but she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
What she was gonna do in first place when she reached her sister? Seek revenge? A apology? Or just make her suffer what she suffered now that she finaly reached this hell of place.
A black tarantula in her shoulder rubbed his head tenderly on her cheek making she returns to reality and stand up all the spiders under her dress trembled with preparation.
"There is no time to doubt when she is at my reach, uh?" With a loud sigh she jumped in the abyss, no sound was heard there was no wind or air to breath anymore just silence and darkness in its pure state.
Unknow for her a group of nightmares saw her jump in the abyss as they getted out their hidings and smiled.
The tarantula in her shoulder jumped more down and a purple cristaline fire surrounded her as a rune with eight signs opened under her.
She and the tarantula passed it without doubt reaching a open valley that seemed to be on midnight.
"Is a pain in the ass but i have to pass throught this level for go more quickly...now this was supposed to be a dream one...why is so dark then?" Eighty and the tarantula looked equaly confused.
"Come up Eins the grass must be cold." Eins the black tarantula climbed her back to reach her shoulder once more.
Eighty wandered a bit in the valley and finded a old cabin in a edge near the deep forest, without thinking it to much she entered inside breaking the old rusty door for being plugged in the procces.
"...Search." Tons of black spiders camed out the insides of her clothes and wandered all the corners of the house until Zwei finded something.
Her eyes flickered purple due the view conection she shared with all her friends, walking towards the place she knowed Zwei finded something she finded a bunch of spiders surrounding a bathtub of wood full of a disgusting black liquid.
"What is this? You recognize it?" Zwei tenderly denied with his head to Eighty the other spiders did the same as her.
"I supposed that, you know the same things that me... dumb me to ask..." Getting more closer she crouched for see more closely the content of the bathtub, the spiders turning away to let her free pass.
Eighty looked weirds thing floating in the surface of the disgusting black liquid that smelled equaly as disgusting.
"Drei help me here." Drei getted close with excitement as Eighty grabbed her with care from the ground and putted her very close the liquid since they can share view this will be more efficient.
"Sorry for the smell Drei i will compensate you later..."
Drei being the one with the best view was the most usefull in this situation.
Eighty looked from the eyes of Drei who didn't look to angry with her the insides of the wood bathtub, seven things were floating in the liquid.
The head of a bear, The head of a fox, The head of a moth, The head of a spider, The head of a wolf,The head of a horse and the head of a rooster.
"What kind of psychopath maked this?" Eighty lifted Drei once she finsihed looking the insides of the bathtub, Drei looked really scared after seeing insides even more after seeing the spider head.
"I know, i know...this looks like something personal but i think this is other thing..." Walking outside the cabin after not finding anything worth of interest all the spiders that camed out her dress getted inside her clothes again.
"Let's take a closer look to the surroundings Vier should feel when we are near a fissure of the dream." A spider made of white marble camed out her left sleeve his eight eyes shining with a purple light.
Vier vibrated in her hand pointing a front leg to a direction, Eighty followed the direction Vier pointed without doubt.
Wandering in the insides of the dense forest she eventually finded a giant valley with a weird structure on the center.
"A flag with a swastika i recognize that but a thing like that shouldn't be associated with good things...this level is a very weird dream..." Drei getted in the inside of her sleeve once more without saying anything her skills weren't needed anymore.
"So the fissure of the dream is here, let's hurry up." Eighty quickened the step towards the building fence entrace getting in the eerie building.
"Something is off Funf?" A spider with dirty layers on it camed out the neck of her clothings seeming disturbed.
Eighty nodded with understandment as it seems someone was here before her not so long ago, She walked towards the direction Funf sayed the other being was.
She expected to find someone not so friendly or find someone problematic but before she could keep thinking a snoring sound entered her ears and she inmediatly stopped the pace.
All her body was bristly and the spiders under her dress trembled in silence and worry, Eighty knowed there shouldn't be any nightmares in a dream level that was a rule but all her body and insctints screamed with danger even if she knows the Dreams can't hurt Nightmares by rule.
Walking with more caution she turned a corner to find a weird scene unfold in her eyes, a black teddy bear that looked really old and brushed was peeking throught a huge door that redoubled his size.
The thing that worried her was that obviously the source of the snoring camed from there and the teddy wasn't specially sneaky.
Feeling some danger she grabbed the teddy by behind and before he could resist she covered his mouth, as she expected the teddy tried to scream but her hand was already there to avoid that.
Carrying the teddy that moved violently in her arms Eighty retired from the place with sneaky steps eventually going out towards the valley where she letted go the teddy that finally looked at her directly.
