Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

-----

Nyx called her name, as the girl slowly woke up.

"Emily! It's you! We finally found you!"

"E-Eh? Huh?"

The girl slowly opened her blue eyes, meeting Nyx and the rest, she looked confused.

"What? Wait… where am I?!"

She immediately screamed, panicking as she looked around, finding herself inside some weird, creepy place underground.

These three girls were looking at her with excitement for some reason, and she felt utterly taken aback.

"I was… was I having a nightmare? Where… what happened? Who are you?"

She looked at Fran, Alma, and Nyx confused; she couldn't recognize any of them.

"I'm Nyx! A friend! It seems you don't remember your memories either… Though you don't look as young as Alma or Fran, but you were still turned into a kid."

"Turned into a kid? I'm twelve you know? I am not even that old! A-And what… memories are you talking about?"

"You're the same than me… Apparently we're inside some kind of Nightmare Realm, a-and we were actually teenagers? Or young adults… but we were turned into children according to Nyx, and we don't remember our memories of when we were grown up."

"What?!"

Emily didn't believe that at all, slowly standing up and looking around.

"T-That's bullshit! No way that's happening! I don't remember ever being grown up yet! I just had a talk with my mom and… And we were going to talk with my dad…"

As she talked, Emily felt more and more tired, looking around rather drowsily.

"Ugh… Why am I so sleepy? Wait, maybe this is a dream? I should just go back to sleep but…"

"D-Don't go to sleep yet! You're probably hungry and need food! Let's eat something!"

Nyx stopped her, asking her to please just cooperate for a bit.

"Please let's cooperate! Please, please, pleaseeee! I can explain to you everything, don't go to sleep or you might actually never wake up this time!"

"O-Okay, okay, calm down! Jesus…"

Emily ended sighing at the end, but she went along with Nyx because ehse begged too much.

And because she found her cute and very… well, unique.

"This must really be a dream, a girl with horns scales and tail… even wings. Woah," Emily muttered. "Really cool stuff I'm dreaming… Wait if I'm dreaming that means I fell asleep on my way back home with mom? Dammit, ugh, how do I even deal with my dad then?"

"It's not a dream…" Fran sighed. "It's reality, I know it's weird but… It's real, Emily."

"B-But something like this… Ahh…" Emily groaned, feeling dizzy again.

"For now you should eat something, here." Nyx brought Emily and her friends back where they had spent the night, and she fed them some food.

Emily almost immediately ate the sandwich she was given, and also the potato chips bag which Nyx had told her to eat slowly over the next hours.

"The food is sure realistic though, damn I was starving," Emily said, patting her belly.

"Because it's real food…" Alma sighed. "Okay so maybe we should tell her why she was there right?"

"Yeah!" Fran nodded. "Nyx would you help us explain to her?"

"Sure, well, okay…"

Like that, the girls explained to Emily what happened before rescuing her, Nyx also talked about her past, and with Fran they explained they'd been on a journey to find everyone.

"S-So that's what happened… and there's Nightmares and a Nightmare Demon?! A-And I'm a Dream Warrior! So I was able to awaken as one… Holy shit that's awesome!" Emily said happily. "But even then… It's hard to believe though…"

"I know…" Nyx nodded. "But please don't run away or something, it is very dangerous…"

"O-okay, I don't really want to get lost anyways, and you girls look pretty decent all things considered," Emily smiled a bit more, feeling a bit more relaxed. "Nightmare Demons though… I've never heard of them before?"

"Maybe they weren't discovered back then yet," Said Nyx. "But they exist and they're very deadly and powerful! We're still missing three more members, mom, Sofia and Martina."

"Your mom?" Emily wondered.

"I-I mean not my mom, my big sister…" Nyx muttered. "Um, but yeah. I haven't found her yet and I'm getting a bit worried. She always finds me pretty quickly, and it wouldn't had taken so long already… Maybe… maybe something bad happened to her and I don't know what to do…"

The girls looked at Nyx suddenly becoming more and more worried, looking sad.

"W-We can find her, don't worry!" Alma nodded. "We found Emily and you found me! S-So we could… do it too. Let's keep exploring."

"Y-Yeah! I'll do anything I can to help… And Snowdad too!" Fran nodded. "So don't feel sad!"

"Uh…" Emily seemed to not know what to say herself. "I'll help I guess? I can't do much either… I don't have any powers right now and… Um, well, yeah. I could sing?"

"T-Thank you girls…" Nyx contained her tears. "Should we rest a bit before departing?"

"I want to rest for a bit…" Emily muttered. "Um, where are we going though? What is this place?"

"It's a huge landscape with several places," explained Fran. "I don't know where we'll end up next though!"

"We went through a white area, then a forest and snowy mountains… and now this abandoned city," said Nyx. "Well, whatever it is, we'll get through."

"Hmmm… Okay then… I guess I just have to go with the flow…" Emily sighed, looking tired.

As they rested and ate some snacks while drinking water, Emily couldn't really contain herself, the silence was killing her.

"So how was my grown up self? Was… Was I cool?" She wondered.

"Um, I dunno…" Fran said.

"I don't know either…" Alma said.

"You were cool yeah!" Nyx nodded.

"Was I strong too?" Emily asked. "Like really strong for real? I want to be strong… So I don't… so my dad doesn't do whatever he wants with my things, or yells at me…"

"Y-You were strong… very," nodded Nyx. "You had a cool lightning armor, and you covered your body with it, and it was really cool! And you ended fighting a really strong student and defeated him."

"Wow, really?" Emily asked. "That's… I hope it's real."
