Dream: Desire

You woke up laying on the floor of a loud, booming nightclub. You can't remember why you were there or where it was, but it was clearly extremely loud. As the music pulsed, you could feel your heart beat in sync.

"Jeez, you took quite a hit there." A young, blonde man said, holding his hand out to you. Within seconds, you were on your feet, slightly dazed. "Yeah, I was sitting across the bar when I saw that prick go for you. How are you feeling?"

You sit on a stool at the bar, your eyes feeling slightly heavy and your cheek aching. "Yeah... I uh... I'm fine, thanks."

He lets out a sigh of relief and sits beside you. His face lights up in a warm, welcoming smile. "Oh- I'm Colby, by the way."

"Dan."

Looking around the room, you saw the huge crowd on the dance floor, each individual member dancing to the beat of the music. The DJ at the front seemed to smile and nod with them, doing his own dance in the platformed booth.

"Where actually am I?" You turned back to Colby, trying to shout over the music that had somehow gotten louder. He tilts his head, apparently not having heard. You repeat yourself, yet he reacts the same way. "Fuck this place... Bathroom?"

With Colby following, you slide past the crowd, doing your best to not walk into any of the drunk dancers, and head into a small hallway, with two doors leading to the men and women's bathrooms. Both you and Colby enter the men's bathroom as a large man pushes past you. Ignoring him, you take a seat on the sink.

"What were you saying?" Colby asks. He had a look of confusion.

"This nightclub. What's it called? Where actually am I?" There was a click from the two bathroom stalls opposite the sink, but nothing happened.

He sighs, shaking his head. "No, no. That isn't it, Dan. That's the wrong question!"

His strange response made you pause for a brief second. "Huh? What did you say?"

"Who are you, Dan? That's what you're supposed to ask!" He continues, ignoring your confusion. The toilet stall doors moved. "Come now, Daniel. You're supposed to be better! But to answer one of your questions..."

There was a long pause, and as you opened your mouth to make a comment to make him continue, the stall doors swung open. In both stalls stood two tall men in plain white masks with black eyes. They strode towards you, followed by two more men in masks, followed by two more...

"What the-" You were horrified. The masked men's masks opened, revealing a horrific bloody maw in the centre of the mask. The door of the bathroom swung open, more of these creatures entering, their masks disfigured.

Colby was suddenly raised, beginning to chant. "Who are you, Dan Peters? What do you want, Dan Peters? What is your purpose, Dan Peters?"

The chanting continued with the masked men, who had soon surrounded you. You cowered on the sink, your back against the wall as their faces lowered to yours.

"Desire..."

You screamed.
