Fear garden (by IceMintFreeze on wattpad)

(I'm just reposting it on SPACEHEY for fun idk why) 


The dream

Late into the afternoon, leaves gently fluttered through the air.

Yoyle City. An abandoned place lingering with mystery and nostalgia. Yet, a few objects were vacant in the city, both eliminated (though, they were in the tiny loser chamber. feel pity.) and those who were still competing. They all wandered freely, exploring the city and the wonders behind it, or they stayed and did their daily chores, such as gardening of cleaning up their area of stay. They kept themselves busy each and every day that passed.

The Yoyle Needy stood high in the air, with a cage swaying gently from side to side, Firey sitting inside of it and screaming at the top of his lungs. A strange, yet clever punishment given to him by the Freesmarters.
Typical.

Everything was going as usual as it was, The Freesmarters strolling through the city and soon, heading towards the Yoyle Needy. Fries was occupied tending to his potato garden, while a few others hung around to keep him company. Coiny and Nickel chatted with Fries about the day, and the chilly temperatures it brought, while the scientist duo were fixing u the wall teleporter they brought from the museum. Everyone was busy with their day..

Except one.
In the far outskirts of the city, was a luminescent garden overflowing with life and glowing with beauty. Ever since they all arrived there, she found the spot to be perfect for her garden. Years of hard work has brought her such a lively and stunning garden, though, that was not how she felt.
The owner of the garden? Pin.
She was pacing back and fourth, her arms and hands trembling and her breathing heavy and anxious. The garden used to produce such a soft and soothing feeling to Pin, that would usually help her calm down in moments like these. She wasn't someone who would get scared easily, no-she was loud and proud. A true leader at heart. But still, leaders do fall apart at times, and need a moment to recollect themselves and fix up their mistakes. But Pin, was falling apart.

A few weeks back, a heathenish nightmare woke her from her peaceful slumber. 
She was standing in front of her garden, feeling strangely jubilant and powerful, such as a queen preparing for a celebration. The sky was as red as blood, with dark, gloomy clouds drifting slowly through the heavy air. In her hands, was a small, cracked pot, with dirt and a few small seeds inside. Also in the middle of these contents,

stood a hand.

A cold, lifeless hand, with drops of blood on the sides. Wrapped around the wrist was a small tag, which once had a name scribbled onto it, but was soon drenched in blood, with grains of dirt on the top.

Around the garden, there was a dark and heavy fog, though as Pin approached it, it vanished, revealing a garden of pure hands. 
Hands that have been removed from their owners. Lifeless fingers dangled downwards like a weeping willow's branches, as the bodies of the owners of the hands were placed in multiple areas of the garden. Small tombstones were placed next to the corpses, revealing their names and what their purpose in the garden is. Pin walked through the garden, reading all of the small tombstones.

Flower. Brings a bit of beauty to the garden.

Rocky. A stool.

Match. Helps let the plants grow upright instead of slouched.

She continued making her way through the garden, until she arrived to a small corner, with a hole buried into the dirt. The tombstone beside the open hole gleamed with the dark sunlight that hit it. There, it read the name.

Coiny.

Pin's eyes snapped open as she jolted upright from her bed, letting out a startled gasp.  Her face was pale and flushed, beads of sweat dripping down her face. Her eyes were bloodshot, and soon they began to fill with tears. She breathed quickly as she looked around the small room.

Darkness stuffed the entire room, the only light coming from from the moon outside. The room was cool, as if the nightly autumn air was giving her a loose hug. The door stood slightly ajar, revealing the darkness of the hallway, where another door could be seen. The slow ticking of a clock was the only thing that broke the silence of the night.
She gently got out of bed and left her bedroom, her hands still trembling and cold to the touch. She walked down the hall, and soon was standing in front of a orange colored door. She hesitantly wrapped her hand around the knob and turned it, opening the door gently. As it opened, she took a peek inside, to the object underneath the covers of his bed, letting out loud snores that echoed in the room.
It was Coiny.

He was fast asleep, his arms wrapped around one of his pillows. A few wrappers from candy he found in the city lied around the room, as well as a few other pieces of 'treasure' he found.
It was odd, seeing such a disheveled mess like this coming from him, but he'll clean it up soon.

Pin stood there for a moment, before slowly shutting the door and letting out a deep sigh of relief. 

She trudged back to her bedroom, convincing herself that it was just a crazy dream, and that it wasn't real.

But why couldn't she fall asleep afterwards? 
Why did the same nightmare reoccur again two weeks later..?

The nightmare continued to rise repeatedly, and every day, it ate away inside Pin's mind. It got so bad, to the point where she couldn't even wake up.
-
She finally stopped pacing around the garden, as she plopped down on her knees on the soft bed of soil. She took a long breath, and looked around at her garden.

"Okay.." She mumbled.
"Whatever.....that dream is, it isn't real. Its just a dream." She looked up.
"Its just fake! It's not real. It won't....happen." 

She hesitated towards the end of her sentence.
 Many questions still lingered in her mind.
Why hands? Why the bodies?  Why not...just. plants?

She sighed and stood up, as she began to walk back towards the city.

"I just hope that I can get sleep tonight.." She whispered under her breath.

Sleep Paralysis (page2)

The garden was glowing that night. Pin was standing in it, quietly watering her small succulents and small plants. It was calm, it was peaceful, it felt...nice.

She pulled out her trowel and began to dig into the earth, until her trowel hit something in the ground. She hit against the so called item and tried to dig around it, but nothing seemed to be working. After attempting to dig around it, she grabbed it and attempted to pull it out from the ground.
It felt cold and soft, and her hands gripped around it as, with one wave of strength, pulled it clean out of the ground.

She sighed, and looked down to see what it was.
...

It was a hand.

Pin let out a shriek as she tossed the hand across the garden, her arms trembling. She looked around the garden and began to notice the corpses, all of them staring at her with their glossy, lifeless eyes. Pin felt her eyes sting with tears as she got up and began to run out of the garden. 
But as soon as she got into the entrance, she noticed someone, standing with something in their arms.

It was herself.

She was covered in blood and dirt, standing on what seemed to be, Rocky's corpse. She held a pot in her filthy hands,  and her eyes were dark and luminance with pure evil.

Pin shook her head and began to run at her, but suddenly stopped in her tracks as the other Pin grabbed her arm and held it tight. Her wrist began to sting as she tried to free herself from this...imposter.

She began to call for help, looking around for anyone, just /anyone/ to help and free her. 
But everyone was dead.
The other Pin clenched her hand harder and harder, grinning more and more as she saw Pin's struggles and cries for help.

After a few seconds, the other Pin began to dig her nails into Pin's wrist. She began screaming unpin, suddenly falling to her knees and still attempting to pull away from the grip.
 The other Pin was smiling, as she suddenly began to fade away into thin air, quietly.

Pin felt the grip subside as she fell down, holding her wrist and grunting in pain. She felt warm droplets of blood trickle down her arm, as she attempted to stop the bleeding.

But as she began to sit up, something grabbed her by the leg.


"WAKE UP!!"




Pin shot up, screaming in fear. As she could make out, others surrounded her, attempting to try and calm her down, with expressions of concern and worry painted all over their faces. This only brought Pin more panic as she raised her fist, ready to throw a few punches while she screamed with all of her might.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!"

Her fist flew down quickly with the force of adrenaline and anger, but was stopped by Fries, who grabbed her fist and put her arm down gently. He put a hand on her cheek and turned her to face him and Coiny, his expression stern and serious.

"Relax." He began, his voice stern and calm.

"It's just us."

Pin looked around slowly. Coiny, Needle, Golf Ball and Tennis Ball stood around her bed, all looking back at her.
 She let out a shaky sigh before slouching a bit, rubbing her eyes.

"What..happened..?" she murmured sleepily.

Golf Ball jumped down from Tennis Ball's head, and walked beside her, opening a small notepad that was filled with scribbles and jots of notes. She looked down, took a quick glance of notes and looked back up.

"He told us you weren't waking up at all, yet you were yelling and crying in your sleep. And in my calculations and my diagnosis, theres a 93% chance that you were in a state of sleep paralysis."

Pin rubbed her head in confusion, before someone took a hold of her hand and examined it.

Her wrist was red and swollen, cuts visible with clotted blood on the edges. Finger marks were on the area where the hand had a death grip on her. Pin flinched as a wave of pain hit her from her wrist.

"What about you Coiny?" He looked down to the small penny beside the bed.

"Ugh, what?! Are you serious?!" He scoffed and turned his head. "I wouldn't do this! Especially to Pin!"

Fries groaned and rubbed his temples in annoyance, before looking down at Pin's wrist. Needle moved to the side and looked down at Coiny.

"I mean, you were grabbing her and shaking her like a rag doll to wake her up, so if anything she'd feel pain on her shoulders." Needle sarcastically replied.

"W-Well, were not talking about her shoulders right now, were focusing on her wrist Needy!-"

A slap echoed through the walls of the room, Needle looking down at Coiny, infuriated.

"Don't call me Needy!!" She jeered.

Coiny grunted in annoyance as he rubbed his glowing red cheek. 
Pin got down and sat on the edge of the bed, letting out a half-hearted sigh.

"Guys, thanks for the help.." she assured.

"But I'm alright now, theres nothing to worry about."

Glances exchanged around the room, as Coiny walked up to her and laid a hand on her wrist.
"Are you sure you're gonna be okay?" He mused. "Like GB said, you were screaming at one point, and then you began crying out of nowhere."

Pin opened her mouth to speak, but quickly paused as the memories of the nightmare poured back into her mind. 
"I..." She stammered.
"It was just a dream. But i'll..be fine."

She hesitated at the last part before looking at Coiny, confidence soon filling her eyes.
Coiny let out a warm smile as he put an arm around her and gave her a playful punch.

"Now that's the confident team captain I know." He chuckled.

Pin couldn't help but smile and relax on her friends shoulder. Sure, he could be an idiot at times, but god, he could change to a caring and sweet friend in a snap.

She let her eyes close as she sighed out,
"It was just a dream."

They stayed that way for a moment, before Pin lifted her head up.

"So Pin," Tennis Ball shyly interrupted before looking down at the notepad. "You don't have to worry about this happening anymore. This happened once, and in my research, sleepy paralysis only happens once! So you're all good to go!"

Pin smiled.

"Thanks TB."
"Now that you're okay, and this is over, me and TB are gonna go to fix up the wall teleporter. We found out a way to let it transport at least four or less people out of the LOL!" She beamed with pride.

"Well, i'm gonna go continue working on the garden. Be sure to take it easy today Pin, and if you need anything, just tell us." He reminded.

A feeling of ecstasy filled Pin from head to toe as she stood up and nodded, a hand on her hip. 
She waved goodbye as everyone began to leave out of the room, leaving her and Coiny behind.

Coiny gave her a gentle pat on the back, as he chuckled.

"You're always treated like royalty Pin. Even if others are annoyed, they still, in a way, obey you."
A smirk slowly spread across Pin's face, her eyes darkening a bit.

Boy, it was sure a wonderful feeling.

Being the center of attention.

Being treated like royalty.
