Green-Eyed Monster
Summary: Companion piece to Nightmare. Oncel'r has been having a series of horrific and graphically violent nightmares while on vacation with his family.
Warnings: violence, gore, mutilation, character death
The only difference was that it was light inside, giving him increased visibility as opposed to the last time he had been in here.
Oncel'r could see every detail of the bedroom now, a strange feeling of déjà-vu washing over him. He had never been in this bedroom before, and yet it seemed so familiar.
Seemingly out of nowhere, a girl appeared in Oncel'r's line of vision, making her way across the room and towards the bed, which had the sheets strewn all over it in a tangled mess. The girl had long dark hair reaching past her waist that covered at least half of her face, and her slim and delicate body had a blanket draped over it, appearing to have no other clothing on underneath. She seemed calm and content as she moved to sit on the messy bed, not noticing the other in the room.
Putting two and two together, the sudden realization made Oncel'r absolutely livid. This girl had been sleeping around with the male owner of this room, the owner whose identity still eluded Oncel'r, but didn't keep him from feeling any less possessive over him.
He stood there silently, visibly fuming as a storm raged within him. His eyes took on a dim but sharp glow, his irises morphed to an emerald color and the whites of his eyes were stained a bright green, glaring daggers at the girl sitting before him. His fists were clenched at his sides, nails digging into the flesh of his palms and threatening to make them bleed as he shook with rage. His breathing was shallow and pronounced, making him sound like a bull that was ready to charge.
The girl turned to look in Oncel'r's direction and locked gazes with him, her visible eye revealing its sparkling blue color...That goddamned sparkling blue color from last time...
The girl's gaze was Oncel'r's breaking point. With a hiss, the Tamaranean surged forward like an animal on the prowl, advancing upon the doe-eyed girl until he was looming over her menacingly.
"You." he snarled out, yanking the girl up harshly by her hair with a grip tight enough to rip it right from her very scalp. "Why are you still here?!"
The girl remained silent, her big blue eyes staring up at Oncel'r and filled with fear. Her silence was irritating.
With a guttural growl, Oncel'r threw the girl against a wall, slamming her back against the hard surface as he pinned her down harshly, retaining his tight grip on her long hair.
"You stay away from him..." Oncel'r spat venomously, the glow from his green eyes brightening. "You stay the hell away from him or I will end you...Permanently." he hissed, tugging on the girl's hair until the lovely locks in his hand tore right out of the girl's scalp.
The girl screeched in pain, the exposed skin on her scalp red with irritation while the follicles began to bleed. Oncel'r growled, dropping the now useless hair onto the floor before grabbing another chunk of the girl's dark tresses.
"You think you're so pretty, with your long flowing hair..." Oncel'r snarled, tugging on the girl's hair once again. "He won't want you anymore when you're balder than a disgusting old man." With another harsh tug, another chunk of the girl's flowing locks was ripped straight from her head.
The girl screamed again, crying from the intense pain. "S-s-stop..." she whimpered, "H-h-h-hurting...Mi-aaAAAAHHH!!" Another scream left her as Oncel'r yanked out a third chunk of hair.
"Oh, am I hurting you?" Oncel'r asked with mock concern, his eyes blazing with fury despite the fake caring expression he currently wore on his features. "I'm sorry..." he said before tearing yet another chunk of hair from the girl's scalp with a sadistic grin. "I'll make it quicker next time~"
Terrified, the girl began to fight back, kicking and clawing at Oncel'r wherever she could while the furious Tamaranean continued tearing out her precious hair.
Fed up with her futile attempts to push him off of her, Oncel'r's hand flew to the girl's throat, fingers crushing her frail windpipe and cutting off her air supply.
"Don't you fucking touch me again if you value breathing, you little bitch..." Oncel'r hissed, his anger flaring.His hands were tearing out chunks of the girl's dark tresses in a frenzy, clawing at her scalp, blood trickling down the girl's head as she cried and gasped for breath. He tore and tore until there was nothing left to tear. He gave the girl's throat a tight squeeze, shoving her harshly against the wall before letting go.
"Look at you..." Oncel'r cooed malevolently, tilting the crying girl's chin up and forcing her to look at him. "Now you're an ugly little whore on the outside, too." He chuckled darkly, his toxic green eyes boring holes through the girl's shining blue ones. The girl glared up at Oncel'r, her fearful eyes that were filled with tears now held anger of her own. She yanked her head out of Oncel'r's grip and twisted it around to bite his hand.
Oncel'r let out something between a growl and a yelp, wrenching his hand out of the girl's mouth before smacking her straight across the face, her head snapping to the side from impact. The Tamaranean glared down at his hand, grunting when he saw teeth marks marring the skin. "You little fucking cunt..." he snarled, drawing his hand back and balling it into a fist. Quicker than the girl could even blink, Oncel'r punched her right in the mouth, knocking out several teeth in the process.
The girl wailed, spitting out teeth and blood onto the floor as fat tears rolled down her cheeks. A sickening sense of satisfaction surged through Oncel'r. The girl lifted her gaze, glaring at her assailant with her big, blue, anger-filled eyes.
"Oh, don't give me that look," Oncel'r said in a condescending manner, pinning the girl back against the wall. "In fact, don't even look at me at all." he hissed, reaching out and pinching the girl's eyeball between his thumb and two fingers, squeezing the organ tighter and tighter before crushing it and tearing it out of the socket.
The girl screamed shrilly, pain throbbing where her eye used to be while blood poured from the wound. Oncel'r smirked down at the damaged organ in his hand. "So much for those pretty little eyes of yours." he sneered, squeezing the now useless eye in his fist before letting it drop to the floor. His bloodied fingers were back at her face, threatening to rip out her other eye.
"D-don't..." the girl stuttered weakly, trying to put on her bravest look in an attempt to intimidate her attacker.
"Don't what?" Oncel'r asked in mock confusion, loosening his hold on the girl's eye for a brief second. "Tear out your other eye?" He didn't even give her a chance to respond, ripping the sensory organ out of the socket within an instant. "Too late~"
The girl was screeching with pain, copious amounts of blood cascading down her face as she blindly flailed around, clawing at whatever she could touch.
"That's it!!" Oncel'r snarled, taking the girl's head between his hands and twisting it around harshly, snapping her neck and instantly killing her. He then slammed the now dead girl's head against the wall, her skull making a sickening crack before she fell towards the floor, blood streaking down the wall on her descent.
Oncel'r laughed sinisterly, finding sadistic enjoyment from seeing the girl's blanket-covered, naked corpse lying crumpled and bloody on the floor. "Now that you're out of the picture, there's nothing standing in my way anymore." he said darkly, "He's all mine now~"
~~~
Oncel'r screamed as he snapped awake, jolting up out of bed in a panic. His breathing was shallow and shaky, his eyes wide and his face drained of all color while his body trembled with fear. He pulled his knees up to his chest, curling up into a tight ball and sobbing brokenly.
Lone, having heard the scream, was awake within an instant. Cosmo whimpered over in his portable crib before he started crying, his mama's scream having scared him awake.
Lone gently shushed Oncel'r and rubbed his back for a moment before climbing out of bed and making his way over to Cosmo. He gently scooped up the infant, shushing and murmuring to him in an attempt to soothe him. Cosmo calmed down fairly quickly, his daddy's soft voice and gentle rocking putting him at ease. After a few moments, Lone carefully set Cosmo back down in his crib and tucked him in again, making sure the baby was settled before crawling back into bed to take care of his distressed spouse.
"Did you have another bad dream?" Lone asked softly, wrapping his arms around Oncel'r and pulling him close. Oncel'r instantly leaned into his husband's embrace, sniffling as he nodded in response to his question.
"What happened this time?" Lone asked.
"...It...It was that girl again..." Oncel'r answered quietly.
"Was the man there, too?" Lone followed up, remembering the details Oncel'r told him of the previous night's dream.
"...No...I mean, he wasn't there, but I kept talking about him...I said things to the girl like 'stay away from him', but I don't even know who 'him' is even referring to..." Oncel'r said.
"Well...was it me in your dream? Am I the man?" Lone asked, trying to help Oncel'r find the answer.
"That's the thing, I don't know..." Oncel'r responded. "I feel...I feel like whoever the man is, that girl is trying to take him away from me, but...it doesn't feel like it's you she's trying to take...It doesn't feel like it's anyone I know...It's like...I know who it is, but I don't know at the same time..." Oncel'r sighed and ran a hand through his hair, tugging at the strands. "This isn't making any sense..."
"No, no, I see what you're getting at." Lone said. "So the man is still a mystery, then. Do you know who the girl is?"
"...Her face was a lot clearer this time, but I have no idea who she is...I've never seen her before in my life..." Oncel'r replied, sniffling and wiping at his eyes. "But for some reason, seeing her just...made me so angry. Just looking at her made me want to hurt her in every way possible..."
Lone nodded. "Did...did you...kill her this time in your dream?"
Oncel'r was quiet for a bit. "...Yes..." he answered softly. "But I didn't have the knife like last time...I...used my bare hands..."
Lone sighed, trying to think of what to say next. To occupy the silence, he rubbed Oncel'r's back and kissed him a few times. "Well...hopefully they're all just dreams. Maybe they're just from all the stress you've been through recently."
"Yeah, I hope so..." Oncel'r said, curling up more in Lone's embrace. "I'm scared to go back to sleep..."
Lone gently kissed Oncel'r's forehead. "It's alright, honey. I'm right here with you. I'll even stay up all night with you if you need me to."
"No, you don't have to do that...You need to sleep, too." Oncel'r said.
"It's my job as your husband to make sure you're taken care of. If you need me to stay up with you, I'll do it. It'll let me return the favor for all the nights you stayed up with me when I had nightmares." Lone said. "Please, let me take care of you."
"...Okay..." Oncel'r whispered. Lone smiled softly, pulling Oncel'r under the covers with him before kissing him again.
"I'm right here, Oncel'r." Lone murmured, keeping his arms wrapped around his lover.
"I know." Oncel'r whispered back, snuggling as close to Lone as he could and attempted to try and fall back asleep, praying for a dreamless rest.
