Tommy looked at Dream. Dream looked at him with eyes hungry of power. Tommy tried to push himself further into the corner. “Dream, please.” He begged. “SAM!” Tommy yelled.
“Sam is not gonna help you, Tommy.” Dream stalked closer.
“STAY BACK!” Tommy yelled. But Dream kept getting closer and hit Tommy with his fist.
“Try and fight me, Tommy. Defend yourself.” Dream said, with a low voice. “You are so strong, and you defeated me before. So, you should be able to fight me now, right.”
Tommy tried to put his hands up in front of his face. He tried to get away from Dream but, Dream just kept hitting him and throwing him around.
“Come on Tommy, you can do more.”
Dream let Tommy get a hit on him.
“See, you hit me. You can do more.” Dream said with a laugh.
Tommy clawed at Dream again, causing a slash on his arms.
Dream laughed. “Look, this is a fight.”
Dream started hitting Tommy harder. Tommy cried out for Sam again.
“HE. IS. NOT. COMING!” Dream hissed. “He will not come to safe you.”
“Dream, please stop.” Tommy begged. “Please, don’t hurt me. I will just stay here in the corner and not bother you.”
Dream grinned. “I think this is way too much fun.” He hit Tommy again and again, harder and harder.
“Dream, please.” Tommy felt himself get weaker.
But Dream kept hitting him.
Eventually Dream grabbed Tommy’s head and started hitting it against the wall.
“You are not gonna stop me, Tommy? You really want to see Schlatt that badly.”
Tommy shook his head. “No, not Schlatt! Please.”
Dream laughed like a maniac. “Go say hello to him for me okay.”
Dream hit Tommy’s head against the wall hard enough for a sickening crack to sound. Tommy’s eyes rolled up and he slumped against the wall.
Dream looked at the body of the child and started laughing. He was actually gone. The kid was actually gone.
“Dream, what did you do? Why are you lauging?” Sam asked from the other side of the lava.
“TOMMY IS DEAD!” Dream cackled. “I actually killed him.” Dream stared at all the blood splattered in the cell.
