(A/N) this is my first time writing here so expect grammar errors! also i might draw what's happening in the story below sometimes. so please bare with me
No one's pov:
Y/n worked in a café where it was known for the food and the music you provided.
You just started working in here in this small café with cute decorations of displays everywhere. People ,who were presumably were the owners, were requesting new people to hire. You immediately took the job for musical entertainment since the café was in need of soothing and relaxing (which you like playing the most) music that time. So you took the job right after you finished your first song to the managers and they asked what time and day for you to perform since you are still pretty young to work everyday here.
You told the time of days your free and days you feel comfortable to play in the week. You also requested to have some time to make your music since you had to make something soft and soothing for the café for people to enjoy and listen while eating. They agreed as long they have to listen to it first so they'll approve the music played in the café.
Although they didn't have enough funds for making the café known for the whole town to know about the café you worked in so they told you to perform in the streets for your first job to see what you'll do in the crowd. When you gave away your street performance about the new restaurant in the streets, a few people manage to come to see you perform again in the café you mentioned.
But hey it was still progress and giving up isn't one of your options since a few people seemed to like what you've wrote and sang about in your performance. And even it was just small your still glad that people came by the place you work in would eat and listen to you play your guitar.
After your shift ended the people who were there eating the food the café provided asked what time did your shift started and ended so they can come back and listen more of your singing and playing the guitar.
"Well since i'm still at school and i got to write more of my songs so i think I'll work on fridays and the weekends every afternoon" you answered. Honestly since this was the first time someone asked you such things about your job. After that some asked what you do in free time, what's your school, the neighborhood you lived in, and basically what your life was like. you answered nervously and shyly left. After all this is the first time that people asked a lot of questions on what you do in your life and all.
After that you searched for a new quiet spot to practicing your guitar tunes. You heard rumors that there was a apple tree with half golden apples and half dark ones so you decided to go there. You passed by a nearby bakery and saw some (f/f){favorite food} there in one of the displays. 'might as well buy some snacks while i jam right? after all i can get a little hungry after playing so much' you thought as you bought (f/f) from the bakery and went your way to the apple tree that people seemed to talk about in the streets and thought back on why you were curious about the mysterious apple tree.
You didn't heard much but people seemed to talk about the guardians that guard the apple tree. Since it was an apple tree you imagined the tree the tree to be peaceful with soothing winds blowing from which directions they came from which gave you the idea to come by to jam and listen to the leaves swaying with the wind. One of the guardians seemed to pass by you that one time but you didn't bother to look at the guardian. At the time since you were tuning your guitar to make it sound calming to the park you were in.
The lake was shimmering while children were playing in the flower fields playing tag and all those games that kids seemed to play. It gave you motivation to play something calm and soothing to enlighten the atmosphere around you and so you finished tuning your guitar and started playing. After finishing playing your guitar with some occasional hums with it to make it sound nice with the music piece you made up just now, people cheered and some even gave you money and food by that. Although you loved playing music in front of the crowds you still hated the fact that their claps were still deafening to your ears so you left before the guardian went to the place you were at.
After on your thoughts on why you were curious about the mystical fairy magic apple tree people oh so dearly praised at. you arrived at the hill the tree was. It was incredible on how a apple tree have both different sides on it.
'No wonder people seemed to talk about the tree.' you thought and walked to the tree deciding which side to practice. The golden side seemed to have people on it but never at the dark side so you chose that spot so you can do you your guitar and set the (f/f) beside you as you sat down. This caused one of the guardians to wake up and see you playing an instrument while occasionally humming with the tune.

I was taking a nap in my side of the tree but was awoken by guitar strums. I just thought they were luring me out here so i could show myself but i was wrong.
It turns out the girl was practicing her song which i think she made up and that's when i realized something.
This could be the girl who played in quiet and calming areas my brother Dream heard about while helping the townsfolk. if only the people didn't beat me for existing then maybe i would have a friend but here i am guarding while this musician that my brother talked about is here.
Come to think of it ...................... Why is she here?
No one wanted to be in my side of the tree because they think its too 'dark and evil'. I mean people prefer my brother's side of the tree because he's an 'angel' while im the so called 'devil' who guards the negative side of the tree.
As i was listening to what she was playing, it turns out she's the type to make soothing music. I was about to fall asleep until i heard the townsfolk warning her about me.
----Y/n's pov----
"Hey you!" someone shouts.
You turn took at the source of the voice "Umm yes?" you said awkwardly at them. When you did look at them it turns out it was a small gang of teenagers. To sum it up there were four monsters and two humans in the small gang. The one who yelled at you earlier was a hybrid wolf with white wings. "You do know where your sitting at is where the evil side is right?" he said. "Umm what side? this is actually kinda feels nice here" you said confused. All you heard about the rumors of this place and how you thought it was pretty chill in here. "Pretty nice huh? why not go to that huh?" he points to the other side of the tree. You still dont get the fact why they hate this side of the tree.
I mean you just want to chill and eat some (f/f) and play some guitar tunes. "Maybe yes maybe no, its up to me on what i choose which to chill not on false information." at this point you keep roasting the insults that were given to you (not that you mind but hey you were used to this).
After what it seemed like it was forever they gave up before throwing one more insult. "don't blame us if the villain kills you!" one of them shouted and left with their friends. You just stood there dumbfounded, 'well that was eventful' you thought 'just who is this villain people seemed to talk about?' based on what you have heard there are two guardians protecting the tree. maybe they were twins and believed one is good and one is evil? meh you don't actually care on what people seemed to think of the other guardian. But there is one thing that you know: 'no one deserves to be lonely' i know what its like to be alone and its kinda sad. so you walked back to the tree to get your guitar and place the leftover (f/f) on the base of the tree.
"umm i apologize on what happened earlier today umm" you dont want to sound rude to the other guardian so said what comes in mind next. "I'll come tomorrow after my shift mr. guardian of the umm dark apples?. sorry if i called you that since i don't know your name and your probably offended. i only knew this place because of the rumors of the tree." you said talking to the tree? if this was one of the weird things you do when your bored then crossed that off the list.
'talking to a tree.... better cross that off the list now i just need to kiss a racoon to marry my phone' you thought giggling to yourself. although you could've sworn you heard a faint 'its alright' response but you shrugged it off and went your way back to your apartment.p
----Nightmare's pov----
'Well that was something' i thought as i climbed down the tree and picking up the (f/f). 'she even left me a gift to say sorry.' actually i dont know how to react to this since no one has been able to say sorry to me besides my brother. maybe (just maybe) i can have a friend for once in my life. 'no nightmare she might pretend to be nice and stab you at the back! she might be like the others.' i thought who wouldnt want to be friends like me?. I then sat down and ate the (f/f) she left and waited for my brother to come back.
(A/N) im sorry if its a bit straightforward in the beginning but this is my first time writing and i want to try. but i did draw y/n in my perspective and i am drawing the cover so the next chapter might be come up late so yea. and once again correct me if i got my grammar wrong since english isnt my first english.
