- Nick's Point of View -

I woke up, it's Christmas already. Time flies huh? Well, better wake up Saber so we can get the day started. It's Christmas morning and I got him some stuff, I probably know what he got me. "Oh Saber!" I chimed as I walked downstairs, I saw his sleeping on the couch. Weird, I chimed while walking downstairs cause I usually do that when going to make food. "I'm awake." Saber mumbled as he lifted his head to look at me.

"Oh, well I didn't know. C'mon, open up your gift and then I'll open mine!" I said happily as he sat up and slid down to sit on the floor. He grabbed one present which was in a rectangle box, I knew exactly what it was. He opened it as his eyes still look dead inside. A small smile crept on his face as he looked at me, I got him a Nintendo switch lite. Since he likes to go outside and stay out there, he needs something to play his games on outside. That's where it comes from, besides that, I got him Animal Crossing New Horizons.

- Saber's Point of View -

"Thanks, Nick." I said quietly as he smiled. "No problem Saber! I got you some other stuff as well." Oh, I guess I didn't think about that...After about 15 minutes of me opening gifts, all my presents were, the Nintendo switch lite, new horizons, a USSR Ushanka, some shorts, about 5 boxes with 50 teabags in each, and a bed frame. Oh, I forgot to say he gave me some "ritual" books. He got it from some "satanic" friend of his, I didn't believe it. I told him thank you again, and then let him open his presents. I got him some more sweaters, some new shoes, and at least 7 packs of noodle cups. He gave me 2 boxes of the noodle cups, I appreciated that.

After cleaning up, we went to our rooms. I decided to try out someone of the ritual books. I chose to see if the void was real, I've only drawn about it and heard about it in books I've read. Supposedly it's an endless empty space, where you can create things out of nothing with enough patience and stability. Only the most patient can stay sane in a place like that, I'd honestly think of it as a good space.

It said I just needed to draw a pentagram, then put everything I love and would kill for in the circle, and then put a drop of blood on all the items. Weird.. I don't think this will work. I did it anyway, then grabbed a pocket knife and cut my finger, put a single drop on everything.. nothing happened. great, just wasted 15 drops of blood for nothing. I got up, about the leave the room until I felt something wrap around my leg. I look down to see a hand, it was glitching though. I looked back at the pentagram, my stuff was gone, the pentagram was now a glitch portal.

I got scared and tried to run out my room, but I just tripped as more hands grabbed onto my legs dragging me. I grabbed onto the sliver of my wooden floor, determined to get myself out of this. More and more hands appeared as they grabbed onto my shirt, I couldn't hold on any longer...I was dragged into the portal. I blacked out.

I sat up quickly, my heart pounding in my chest. I looked around, it was endless white all around me.. I saw the stuff I had put in the pentagram before everything happened. I grabbed the stuff, I put on the ushanka and took out my sketchbook. I noticed something... I looked down at my chest, there was a red heart. There was a blue string connected to it, it went up. I looked up and saw multiple hearts, some broken, and some pieces...

The Anti-Void. I did it, I got in it! It's true!...wait.. Nick doesn't know, he'll die on his own. No, I can't panic. I need to stay patient, I will live here until it lets me leave. Let's see.. "I want..my house and landscape back." I said, then the world around me started glitching. I stayed silent patiently waiting, and then, my house appeared. I walked inside it, it looked just how it is in the real world.

I laid down on my 'bed' and decided to stay quiet. Then grabbed my sketchbook starting to draw. I drew one of my original characters or OCs. Whatever you call it. I drew the version... a baby, a kid, and a teenager version of an oc. Inspired from where I am now, the Anti-Void. Once I finished drawing the pictures, my book glitched and I dropped it. I picked it up again and put my stuff down. Deciding it was time to sleep.

Who knows how long I'll be here...I'll just have to make the best of it. I looked at my phone, the time just said '0:00 UM'. Looks like I'm in-between time and space. Since time is non-existent, I could sleep for an entire week in the regular world and it'll just feel like a normal night of rest to me. I felt my eyes become heavy and they shut, my body becoming motionless and out of my control as I fell asleep.
