the kids' pranks are in place but as its only about 7 o'clock nobody has done anything to trip the traps. Trevor is sleeping, he hasn't been able to sleep much for awhile hes unable to find peace from the deaths that haunt him even in his sleep.
Even before this he had days and nights where his parents' death weighed heavy on him but thats an older wound, the fresh ones are still oozing regrets that manifest into nightmares.
Trevor starts to toss and turn in his sleep the sunset casts an almost otherworldly orange glow in the room theres clouds too and they darken slowly with the setting sun, foretelling rain. Trevor begins sweating despite the temp in the house being set to 60 Degrees to counter the summer heat.
"Treeeeevoorrrr"
Trevor tosses more violently the room begins shifting the windows retain the orange glow but you can't see anything like theres a very thick fog or the windows aren't real... "painted on" almost.
"Treeevooorrr"
Trevor snaps awake he looks around the room that isn't his room he sets up and gets out of bed he walks to where the door to the hallway would be he opens it and its the same hallway but something is definitely wrong. he notices a light from the upstairs bathroom he looks confused as he slowly walks toward it, an unnamed feeling washing over him, something is not right.
Trevor: huh... shower? But, Alucard doesn't need to shower...
Trevor thinks for a moment
Trevor: Or.. DOES he?
Trevor gets close to the door after walking what feels like several minutes
Trevor: thats odd... the bathroom isn't that far away.. am I dreaming? but... wait.. that smell
Trevor catches a whiff from the bathroom of whatever body wash the person is using
Trevor: lilac and gooseberries...? Sypha's favorite scent... It can't be!
Trevor knocks on the door
Trevor: Whos in my shower? what manner of prank is this?
no response
Trevor: I'm not mad i just want to know if you're one of my friends.. but why do i smell lilac and gooseberries... coulda swore i tossed all of sypha's bathroom stuff..
it was a special blend Sypha made herself, it was a bit of a hobby of hers making scented candles, perfumes, and the like, not available in stores at all, Trevor decides to walk in.
Trevor: Ill ask once more, who are you?
"Haha, why so serious my love?
Trevor is shocked, that voice with a hint of someone from Spain, much like Trevor still has some Romanian flair in his voice.
Trevor: Impossible...
Trevor gets closer then a hand emerges from the curtains and grabs him by the throat Trevor gasps for air as he fights but for some reason he is overpowered.
the voice speaks again but not in Sypha's voice this time, but a voice that sends chills down his spine.
"You can never have her back she belongs to us now! they're all down here waiting for YOU... waiting to exact their revenge! c'mon Trevvy boy!"
Trevor is dragged behind the curtains he's in somewhere unknown suddenly manifestations of those he failed to save appear they bare the fatal injuries that ended their lives, theres a child sized black shadow next to Sypha who has a bloody hole in her stomach. Sebastian is there too Hunter and Christy, Sonia and Cabba too.
in a flash they now surround him, Sebastian walks up to Trevor Trevor is dumbstruck he can do nothing but sit and stare, horrified. Sebastian has a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire he smiles as he smacks Trevor in the head with it Trevor is on the floor Sebastian gets in several more licks Trevor is curled up into a bloodied ball, Sebastian laughs as he walks away. Sonia and Cabba are next, Sonia holds her own head in her arms Cabba has wounds all over his body, the fatal one right where his heart would be, Dracula tortured him with Death Beams before finally ending him, then he beheaded Sonia.
Sonia: You weak pathetic creature... you are unworthy of the name belmont.
Cabba: I can't believe i raised such a weakling
Trevor looks up his face busted open Sonia grabs one of her daggers and stabs Trevor over and over as Cabba stands smirking coldly.
Trevor: STOP!! MOTHER!! FATHER!!
Cabba: Oh wah wah wah cry for mommy and daddy cry!!!! thats all you're good at!
Alucard returns from shopping, in the real world he senses something evil in the air, from Trevor's room he sets the groceries down and runs upstairs.
Trevor: IM SORRY!!! IM SORRY!!
Mickie is done playing music shes just in the kitchen trying to figure out whats for dinner, the rest of the house is quiet ennough she can hear Trevor screaming in his sleep
Mickie: goodness that was Trevor!
Mickie runs toward Trevor's room
Tori: Woah wheres the fire!?
Katie: gee she was in a hurry...
Tori: c'mon if shes in that much of a hurry, Trevor may need us!
Katie: hey somebody has to stay here to watch the kids!
Tori: Oh triiiiishh
Trish pokes her head out from the basement door
Trish: Yyeeesssssss?
Tori: watch the kids we're goin over to Trevor's k bye!
they rush out before Trish can say anything
Trish: *huff* low girl again...
Rebecca: You never win.
Trish: oh hush! Man 3 year olds... you know what screw it im not being left outta this, c'mon kids we're goin to unca Trevor's house
Angel and Rebecca follow Trish to Unca Trevor's house
Mickie and the others arrive
Mickie: bedroom! it came from the bedroom..
Mickie runs upstairs she stops at the top she gets a very ill feeling all of a sudden
Mickie: you guys feel that?
Tori: Yeah... geez what is that? its making me feel.. sad, bunch of emotions.
Katie: Forget it lets see Trevor
Mickie: thats the thing, it got stronger as we climbed toward his room.
the nightmare continued on, the dead each have had several turns punishing Trevor he is barely alive stripped naked his body has several injuries but the torture continues.
"this is your punishment, for your failure you just watched these people die you weak pathetic cretin! Death is too good for you!!"
the dead begin saying in an almost chanting way "your fault" as they slowly approach him
Trevor: my.... fault.... its my fault...
Mickie: Whats wrong with him!?
Alucard: i dont know, TREVOR!
a voice pierces the darkness he looks up a light starts to shine
Trevor: Heaven...? i dont deserve it.... i deserve... Hell... i deserve Hell.
Mickie: TREVOR wake up!
Trevor: Huh? Mickie?
Trevor reaches an arm feebly toward the light the beings attacking Trevor have all just warped into black shapes now they scatter away from the light
the light envelops the whole area, the scene is now Trevor's real room when he regains his bearings he realizes Mickie is sitting on his bed Trevor's head is resting on her lap and he has been crying Mickie soothes him best as she can.
Trevor raises up he wipes his face he looks around and actually feels a tad embarrassed, especially that the kids had to see him like that.
Trevor: Geez, what are you all doing here?
Mickie: We heard you from next door, thought you were in some kinda trouble... like that alien Trish found suddenly appeared or something..
Trish: No, no threat of that, they're still keeping to themselves for now.
Trevor explains his nightmare.
Trevor: I tell you it was as real as a nightmare could get, i swear i could even feel the wounds they were inflicting on me...
Trevor feels around he gets a weird look he rolls his sleeve up Mickie and the others gasp
Trevor: What in the world!? these weren't there before the nightmare happened... i swear..
Trevor's arm is covered in fresh scratches, not bleeding but red.
Trish: my god, Mickie... what does this mean? he said they cut him all over does he have a scratch for each cut...?
Mickie: you're the one that gives us exams... so...
Trish: Right, Trevor... lead me to your bathroom.
Trevor just nods they leave the room Mickie runs her fingers through her hair as they descend the stairs and sit around the living room Mickie looks distressed. Alucard takes this chance to change out Trevors bedsheets and such.
Alucard: He sweat quite a bit im sure, this should feel quite refreshing next he lays his head down...
Alucard frowns and he crosses his arms, being the son of Dracula he's especially sensitive to the workings of dark powers.
he joins the others in the living room
Trish and Trevor are in his bathroom Trevor fully disrobes save for his boxer shorts Trish is shocked
Trish: Einstein's Ghost....you really are covered.
Trevor looks in the mirror he looks back at Trish at a loss.
Trish: I'm sorry, im a woman of science Trevor and while I do have some degree of faith.. you've directly dealt with supernatural forces so you tell me.
Trevor: right...
Trevor dresses in fresh clothes and puts his sweat soaked ones in the hamper
they're all gathered in his living room, Trevor in his favorite chair he rubs his eyes.
Alucard: I suppose we should address the elephant in the room, its no secret to all but the most stubborn non believers that dark forces can worm their away into a person's life when they find themselves lost and at their weakest. I'm the son of Dracula, I immediately knew something was wrong when I came back from shopping, I assume you guys felt it too?
Mickie: I felt something as soon as we got to the top of the stairs, it only got stronger as we got to Trevor's room.
Tori: the heck are we dealing with?
Mickie: Trevor and I... may be dealing with the same thing. and until we learn to move on and heal from our pain i dunno if it'll let us know peace...
Tori: Trev can't you just smack it with the vampire killer? toss holy water on it!?
Trevor: i....
Trevor looks down
Trevor: The whip no longer responds to me, my holy water is just water in a vial it doesn't do anything special... not anymore.
Tori: What do you mean?
Trevor: I turned my back on God.. all the terrible things that kept happening to us, what manner of God lets such atrocities run so rampant!?
Mickie: Trevor...
Alucard: Trevor the Belmonts have always walked with God, how could you just throw that away?
Trevor: And what? im supposed to just keep walking with someone that just lets people die I... I won't do it anymore!
Mickie: Trevor please!
Trevor: NO!
Mickie: Trevor listen, please.. do you not realize that by doing this you invited in something terrible? and its slowly driving you insane, i can tell.. you dont sleep well you are COVERED in scratches you got in your sleep!
Trevor: ill be fine! its nothing.
Mickie: you know all too well its not!
Trevor: ENOUGH!!!
Mickie: Trevor... please calm down.
Trevor: I.... im sorry.
Mickie: Trevor, i found a bible among my birth mother's things. I can't force you of course and i dont know much about this Belmont thing but we need to heal our hearts Trevor, especially with war possibly knocking on the door. lets take time out of our day every day to read this bible, you need your faith Trevor, it's the source of your true power.
Trevor: but... why? he expects us to pick up the slack fighting and putting our lives on the line and whats he show for it?
Mickie takes Trevor hand and looks him in the eyes she smiles that smile for a moment he sees his mother in that smile, tears fall from his eyes.
Trevor: please help me....
Mickie and Trevor hug
Mickie: Yes, thank you Trevor... we're going to get through this we're going to find the light again. we WILL be happy again.
everyone group hugs but Alucard he does place a hand on Trevor, Alucard turns around as something darts away.
Alucard: you better watch out... we're not about to let Trevor go without a fight.
