Read the hunt -a little nightmares story- :: Fake smiles, Real lies

I jolted awake.

"It was only a dream" I told myself realising I was hugging myself in a tight little ball.

"Are you sure about that?" A deep male voice said, making me jump. I grabbed my stick/crutch thingy.

"W-who said t-th-that?" I stuttered out in fear, I stood up trying to quickly gain my balance.

"Who I am is not important. What is important right now is what's your name" The voice echo around me.

"I...I can't remember my name" I said with a little panic in my voice.

"Come with me" The voice said. I turned to see a tv. "Walk through the screen I will show you who you are, young child"

I walked through the tv. I felt pulses of energy flowing through me, I felt unstoppable with all the energy. Like I could fight millions of people, or monsters, and kill them all without a scratch on me. It felt amazing, but it didn't feel right. I eventually made it to the other side, where I saw hundreds of tv screens showing different places.

"You felt the power, didn't you child?" He said stepping out of the shadows. He was really tall, and as thin as a toothpick. He was wearing a suit and a hat the seemed to shroud his face in a curtain of darkness.

"Yes, I did" I answered "But what was it, Mr. Toothpick?"

He paused for a minute, it felt like hours as fear rushed over me thinking he might be mad.

"Please, call me Thin Man" He laughed "And you felt that power because you are like me. We both have incredable abilities, how else would you go through a tv screen?"

"What abilities?" I asked "I thought going through a tv was somehow normal here!"

'And you know imma can you Mr.Toothpick either way' I thought

"Abilities, you are yet to unlock" He explained "Also, how do you think that is normal?"

"I fell down what looked like a giant rabbit hole, magically found a first aid with a cake and a drink in it" I was ranting on and on "And a key magically fell from an abyss or something right in front of me which unlocked A FREAKIN' PORTAL! Please explain how ALL of that is normal but walking through a tv isn't."

"First off, thanks for not cussing" He said "Second, I see how you could be a little confused."

"YEAH NO DUH SHERLOCK!" I yelled "Also the only reason I didn't cuss is because I still feel like i'm being watched."

"Well, I don't think anyone is watching us" He said calmly "And how would they?"

I look at the fourth wall "maybe they are reading a novel about us in a website could tapas!"

"Shh don't break the fourth wall, kid!" He said "Last time I did the creator locked me in her basement, and didn't let me out until I agreed to be her puppet in ever story she makes"

"WAIT WHAT!" I yelled out

"Oh no, She's gonna-" He was cut off

"I can see how you can be a little confused" Mr.Toothpick said "But I promise, stay here with me and you will learn the true. Your truth."

He bent down and held out his hand so that i could climb on and get a ride somewhere. So I climbed on, completely trusting the stranger. He brought me to a different room, this room had older looking tvs. Most of them were turned off and the ones that were on played a loop of something happening, some glitched and showed static every once in a while.

"Where are we now?" I asked, sitting on his hand.

"This room is were the past is shown" He said "think of it like when a show replays. But these shows are from a long time ago, even before.." He stopped.

"Before what?" I asked

"Before some one special left me behind"

"why did they leave you? Who was it?" More and more questions filled my head as I started to feel bad for Mr. Toothpick

"I don't know why. It doesn't matter anyway!" He seemed angery "let's just find your past"

He set me down on a table infront of the screens. The table was old, and made of dark wood that looked like it would crumble under any weight. I looked a little closer, and saw faded drawings. One drawing was of a girl holding another person's hand, the other person had a square looking head.

Another drawing that looked slightly newer but still barely fade was a drawing of the same girl, she was standing next to what looked like a music box. And another of the girl hugging a nome, and one of her holding out her hand as the person jumped over a huge drop.

who was she?

I then looked up to the screens, maybe she's in one. I looked through the screens, I saw people but no one looked familiar....Then I saw it.

"right there, I know that place" I said pointing to the screen.
