Nightmare Isaac By FunbariVoid :[]
The day when Johnny Alex and his family arrives at their new home, the skies were gloomy and it was about to rain because it is currently rainy season in the new suburban they just moved in, Johnny doesn’t feels bother if it’s raining or sunny days, what he cares about was just to get into their new home so that he can be on his phone and relax inside his room.
A week after they’d all settled in, while Johnny was busy texting his friends on how life is in the new place that he and his family just moved in, one of his friends has texted him another message.
“[Hey, Alex I heard that you just moved to New Orleans is everything fine there?]” ask his friend as Greg, Alex narrowed his eyes and frowned as he began to replied to his friend’s text.
“[Well, not really, the weather today is very bad, it’s currently rainy season]” said Alex, Greg then replied to Alex a message about a rumor that caught his attention, a rumor that talks about a mysterious creature completely pitched black that was been spotted in New Orleans at the same location where of the suburb where Alex is at.
“[Well, there were a few rumors going on lately]” texted Greg.
“[What rumors?]” replies Alex.
“[Rumors about a mysterious creature that is completely pitched black, according to what peoples were talking about, there were kids who said that they met a creature that is purely made out of black substances]” texted Greg, Alex became curious.
“[Really, what does it look like?]” replied Alex.
“[Well, the children said that it wears a jacket that is also made out of those black substances even its very own pants, they also said that the creature claims itself to be a helper]” replied Greg.
“[Really? Helper of what?]” texted Alex.
“[Helper of resolving the negativity problems, the children said that this creature here somehow made them feel happy once more, and the fact is that they can’t even remember the reason why were they having those bad feelings]” texted Greg.
“[Hah...that’s some great story telling there, but rumors are just rumors, anyways I gotta go and have dinner with my family, so bye]” texted Alex.
“[Yeah sure, bye 😊]” replied Greg.
At the time when the family was having dinner, everything was really great until suddenly when Alex’s sister as a 20 years old teenager walks down stairs what caught everyone’s attention was her expression, it looks as if she feels really tired and overwhelming.
“Um, sweetie? Are you alright?” ask Alex.
“None of your business” said Anna.
“Um, are you sure? Because you looked like as if you haven’t taken any rest for the whole day or maybe weeks and months” said Alex.
“I said I’m...FINE!” yelled Anna, this made the atmosphere became really uncomfortable the first person to speak up to her was their father.
“Anna, don’t be rude to your brother, you know that if you're going to be like this, we can’t allow you to have a car” said Roger.
“Urgh...fine” said Anna as she sits down, Alex stares at her with confusion and a very uncomfortable expression he asks himself.
“(What’s going on, normally she wouldn’t be this much of an aggressive normally she would only ignores and sighs allot whenever I speak to her with subjects that she said “bullshit” and “lame”, did something happened between Anna and her friends, or something made her like this?)” thought Alex.
After Alex finished his dinner, he went back to his room and was about to grab his phone to start texting his friends again but when he comes up to his room and enters it the phone wasn’t there anymore.
“Huh?” Alex walks at his desk and looks all over it but he couldn’t find anything, no sign of his phone anywhere he thought that maybe his sister has taken away his phone to do something bad, Alex immediately rushes to Anna’s room and knocks the door but she didn’t respond.
“Anna!” said Alex.
“Go away!” said Anna.
“Not until you give me back my phone!” said Alex.
“I don’t have your phone Alex” said Anna, Alex then narrowed his eyes with an urge expression as he knocks on the door.
“Anna, this isn’t funny you know, don’t make me tell mom and dad” said Alex.
“And I said it, I don’t have your phone, why would I be busy by going on a phone of someone like you?” ask Anna, Alex became a bit aggressive and was about to scream but suddenly he heard a sound coming from his room it was the door’s sound, Alex turns around seeing that the door of his room was now opened he walked and looked at his door as he turns his head around and saw that his phone was left on the desk.
“Huh?!” Alex’s eyes went wide his phone was there as if nothing ever touches nor moved it, he walks over and grabs it to see if there is anything on it, but there was nothing, nothing that happens to any of his favorite websites, apps and games even the message texting and sending apps, Alex looked all over his room to see if there is anyone but he couldn’t find anybody.
After that Alex lies down on his bed and began to text his friends, while in the middle of texting he suddenly receives a text message coming from an anonymous user named “Isaac” Alex’s narrowed his eyes in confusion as he reads the text.
“[Hello there, I heard you just arrived in New Orleans, right?]” Alex texts the anonymous user.
“[Uh, do I know you?]” ask Alex.
“[I said, I heard you just arrived in New Orleans, right?]” text Isaac, Alex stares at the text for a while as he looks around in his room and started to type back.
“[Yes, why you ask?]” text Alex, Isaac didn’t respond for a while until.
“...”
“...”
“[Oh, then that’s good, that’s good, hope you get used to the new environment and the neighbors]” text Isaac.
“[Okay, who exactly are you? And what do you want from me?]” texted Alex, Isaac didn’t text Alex back for a while until.
“[Well, nothing special, just something that you wish it could be gotten rid of]” texted Isaac.
“[Oh, like what?]” text Alex.
“[Ah, yes, yes, it was too obvious, what I need is inside of you]” texted Isaac.
“[What!? My heart?]” text Alex.
“[No, no, no, something within it]” text Isaac, Alex began to feel like that this conversation is getting a bit off and it makes him feel less comfortable his head is asking allot of questions like who is this guy? How does he able to know where I live? And how did he managed to get in touch with me?
“[Hey, now that you’ve got your question, can you at-least tell me like who are you? How do you know where I live? And how did you managed to get in touch with me? You a stalker are something?]” text Alex, it was a moment of silent when suddenly.
“[Well, not really, I’m someone who rarely doesn’t show up towards teenagers at the age of 15 like you]” text Isaac, Alex started to feels like things are getting weird and creepy as if this anonymous user named Isaac was stalking him from the whole time when he hasn’t moved here.
“[Okay, this is just getting creepy, how do you know allot about me, were you spying on me, how long?]” text Alex, Isaac didn’t reply for a while once more and then a new text came on his phone.
“[Ah well, glad you ask, just now 😊]” text Isaac, Alex’s eyebrows raise and eyes were wide, the anonymous user named Isaac texted “just now”, it could only mean one thing.
“[YOUR INSIDE OF MY ROOM!]” texted Alex in angered.
“[Well, that’s a smart guess, yeah, so?]” text Isaac.
“[Where are you, show yourself!]” Alex texted.
“[Woah, woah there pal, I was here this whole time, seriously have you ever taken your eyes off from the phone this whole time to see who’s standing in-front of you?]” texted Isaac, Alex’s took his eyes off from his phone and looks in-front of him however the angered expression soon turned into an uncomfortable, nervous and frightened expression, Alex’s eyes were widened in shock and horror right in front of him is a black like creature that wears a black jacket and black pants it’s body is covered in black substances that’re drippling out, Alex moves back into the wall as the creature slowly approaches at him, Alex closes his eyes but suddenly.
“Nice to see you, Alex” said the creature.
“Huh?” Alex slowly opens his eyes.
“What, it’s like you saw a creature, or maybe a demon?” said the creature, Alex looked at it in a horror expression.
“Oh, it’s rude to not introduce myself, my name is Isaac, Nightmare Isaac, and bet you didn’t know but I’m a person who can “help” you from getting over with your bad problems” said the creature its voice was very deep and corrupted, Alex gulped.
“W-what do you want?” ask Alex, the creature laughed.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! No big deal, what I want is to help you in solving your problems, you see here I’ve arrived in this town for like several of days earlier and I’m still getting used to it” said Isaac, Alex stares at him.
“Huh? What exactly does this had to do with me?” ask Alex, the creature stop laughing as he turns around.
“Well, during the past days I’ve heard you were been accepted into a school, right?” as Isaac turn his head a bit.
“W-well, yeah, so what?!” ask Alex, Isaac turns around with a grin as he dashes forward at him and stops.
“Here’s the deal pal, I’ll help you get through with the issues your having, but in exchange I need something really, really important from you...well not like it really does seem important nor matter to anyone except for me of course” said Isaac with a grin.
“W-what, m-my soul?!” ask Alex.
“HAHAHA...” Isaac stops and took a deep breath “No idiot, listen up here, did you received the message I sent on your phone?” ask Isaac, Alex nods without speaking.
“This message here, is a hint for the thing that I need, know what it is?” ask Isaac, Alex shook his head Isaac moves backwards as he spills out 4 black tendrils from behind his back as it impales the ceiling of Alex’s room and sits on his tentacles, Alex looks at him for a while as he started to see that Isaac looked alike something that he heard before, it took him a while but then he realized who it was, it was the creature that is mentioned to be a helper that helps you with your negative feelings.
“You-you want my negativity?” ask Alex, Isaac looks at him as he smiles.
“Yes, for a boy like you, I’d say your one smart guy” said Isaac.
“Um, so, how are you gonna help me?” ask Alex, Isaac walks over at him as he sits beside him.
“Oh, of course, I can help you with allot, just make sure don’t upset be, like hurting my feelings otherwise you would end up like your sister, and who was she...oh yes, Anna” said Isaac.
Hearing that Alex looked at him in shock.
“You were the reason why my sister looked like that?” ask Alex.
“Yes, yes, yes, oh my god, I was just asking her very politely on the phone that can I meet her but yet, boi she really does hate anonymous chatters” said Isaac.
“What did you do to her?” ask Alex.
“I was supposed to eat her negativity in order to make her feel better, however her attitude was too rude and I don’t think she’s quite fit for the person that needs my help, which is why I’ve ask myself, if she doesn’t really want to be happy, so I’ll make her never be able to feel happy ever again, after all she’s a bitch to you this whole time, right?” ask Isaac, Alex stares at him for a while.
“Um. I-I know that she’s a bitch to me, but she’s still a family member, I couldn’t possibly let her be suffered in miserable...so, no” said Alex, Isaac looked at him in a very boring look as if Alex felt like he just upset the creature to.
“Well, then I guess it didn’t work, *sigh* but still at-least I get to feed on your negativity in exchange for that good for nothing conversation” Isaac impales his tendrils thru out Alex’s chest as the tendrils went straight up at his heart and sucks out black shadowy things which are his negativity feelings after when Isaac finished he felt very happy and gave Alex a thumbs up, Alex just breath heavily.
“So, what do you want in exchange, that negativity feelings just now are the tastiest one I’ve ever had in my life, so in exchange I’ll help you” said Isaac.
“Well, you see here, I was having some school problems...and I-uh...I don’t know-” Alex’s words were interrupted by Isaac.
“Ah, I see, being bullied that’s the word yah looking for, yep I understand what’s it like to be when your being bullied” said Isaac.
“How did you know?” ask Alex.
“Thanks to making physical interactions with your body I was able to gain information of your life of when did it start and when does it gotten to the bad parts and the good parts” Isaac grins.
“Okay, so can you at-least help me?” ask Alex, Isaac smiles with his eyes narrowed and eyebrows raises.
“Sure, thing I can, if that’s what will cheer you up then so be it” said Isaac.
Isaac just transforms into a puddle of black substances as the creature immediately goes out of the windows.
“...” Alex stayed silence.
The next day.
Isaac walks out of his house as he said goodbye to his parents and catches the bus, on the bus while he’s busy texting his old school friends he heard a conversation something about his bullies.
“Hey, did you heard what happened to Frank?” ask a boy.
“Yeah, I know it’s crazy, right? To think that not even the police and detectives can explain what could the actual caused by” said another boy, Alex found curious as he moves closer to those boys and ask them.
“Um, hey guys, I was just hearing you guys saying something about Frank, what happened to him?” ask Alex, the boys look at Alex for a while.
“Well, you see here during this morning the neighbors said that they’ve found corpses lying behind the backyard, the corpses were found to be Frank’s family including him, when the police have arrived his neighbor has informed them that when they discovered the corpses the eyes and organs were all extract from their bodies in a very mysterious way as if someone or something was able to remove those stuffs inside of their bodies without doing surgeries, hearing that Alex was completely shock he remembers the deal he made with Isaac from earlier and he starts to shiver.
“Is-is there anything else besides Frank?” ask Alex.
“Yes, it’s Burnard they say that his entire family was also murdered, it was said that someone or something has sucked all of their bloods, leaving their dry and lifeless body in one place, this morning when one of the neighbors were walking at their house to say hello to them, they’ve found the family’s corpses sitting on the couch completely dry” said the boy.
Alex couldn’t believe what he just heard, it was because of his “careless” decision that now not just his bullies but their family were been murdered, while Alex got back into his seat and opens his bag to grab his phone and text his friends in order to forget the “guilts” he made a message that was been left back by Isaac, Alex clicks and see what it was written.
“[Well, there you go, I’ve done all of your business, guess that means we’re fair and swear now, and if you ever need my help, just text me, alright? 😊]” texted Isaac, Alex looks around before he can type back his last message.
“[Yeah, but do you have to go that far, and why did you have to kill his entire family?]” text Alex.
After that, Alex went to school and after school was done, he walks back home, have dinner with his family and goes to his room once more when he opens his phone again a new message was been sent to him from an hour ago, he reads it and his eyes went widen.
“[It’s because their families are bad peoples, Frank’s father is a serial killer and his mother is a drug buyer, Burnard’s parents are shoplifters that usually threatens allot of peoples, their criminals, I only kill away guilty ones not innocent ones, that’s all]” Alex couldn’t believe it, his bullies' family were actually criminals, robbers and thieves but suddenly another text came on his phone, he looks at it. Alex just turns off his phone and went to bed in order to forget about the things he just saw and also the last thing he had saw on his phone to.
