It was near midnight when the crew decided to tuck in for the night, each monster going to their respective rooms— probably one of them staying up to watch tentacle porn, which was done to death in Oz's opinion but they digress. Oz waited until an hour had past after everyone went to bed for the night— everyone except them, the sounds of crickets and a midnight wash could only be heard as Oz strained their ears to their surroundings, occasionally a small squeak from one of the rooms as some monsters turn over in their sleep. It was a safe bet to go now.

Oz slowly melted into the shadows, careful to not let their mattress squeak as their weight shifted into nothing. From there it was a matter of squeezing through the tiny crevice the door left from the bottom, shifting down through the dark empty hallway making their way down to the in-between of the kitchen and the living room. Oz looked back, just to make sure no one was following them. Only vacant furniture and light from the window could be seen, good— so no one woke up. Oz approached the door that led to outside, a slight breeze shifting though the cracks of the door. Oz hesitated and slipped though the small cracks, making it outside to a living night, even though it was a quiet neighbourhood, distant cars and parties could be heard in the background. Lights were dancing to the rhythm of the crickets, if Oz had to guess it was probably chilly out, but they wouldn't know.

Walking at midnight was a daily thing for Oz, it helped take their mind off of everyday annoyances, everything negative felt so far away as they strolled through dark alleyways and empty sidewalks with the occasional druggie, drunk or both. Oz would usually go to the human world for this, take the train and find some vulnerable soul that was filled with fear and insecurities— but felt that humans weren't gonna cut it for tonight. They need a monster, two monsters.

After wondering for a bit Oz eventually reached an intersection that had a large sign hanging over it, the streets were packed at every corner with monsters in blankets, oversized jackets, and all types of sexy lingerie you could think of and never seen before. The sign read, 'Red Light District' in big bold and sharp letters, a place you went to either get laid or be the one to get someone laid— either way you somehow lost all your money.

The phobias started to overtake Oz's legs, silently screaming and wailing that they need to eat— that Oz needed to eat soon.
"I know just wait a couple, okay?"
Oz walked down the street with a white, clear tee and some ripped up jeans. It wasn't usually their style but it seemed to attract some monsters attention, the only consistency of their appearance was their neat hair and their golden watch. After a good half hour of politely turning down job offers Oz was ready to turn around and give up on the district— when suddenly they heard a couple of 'yohoos~' behind them.

"Hey little man~" one female monster cooed as she grabbed one of Oz's arm from behind.
"Wanna have the best night of your life~?" Another female said as she grabbed the other arm from behind, Oz looked behind both shoulders to see two tall, hourglass figured cyclops twins with gorgeous blond hair, bright green eyes and very suggestive lingerie hugging both of Oz's arms towards their chests. Oz couldn't remember their names but Oz has seen them at school, acting like they were the next hot thing while simultaneously kissing Vera's ass and talking shit behind her back. Vera knew of course, but to her the twins were disposable minions.

"Only if we can have it in private haha." Oz said with a fake nervous tone, the first time act always seemed to work for both humans and monsters. The two cyclops twins started to lead Oz down the street and into a dark alleyway,
"First time huh?" One said pulling the left arm,
"Yeah," Oz lied.
"Don't worry we'll make you feel extra good, only if you can pay the fee of course~" the one pulling the right arm cooed, stroking Oz's watch.

They eventually made it to a door on the side of one of the buildings, it was more quiet. The one holding Oz's left arm fished for some keys between her breasts, pulling out a bronze key and unlocking the door and opening it.
The inside seemed rather small with a large, red heart-shaped bed taking up most of the room. A dim hot pink light illuminated the room with what Oz guessed had to be incense filling the air, lit candles littered the shelves. Oz was pulled in and the door was shut behind them and locked.

The two let go of Oz's arms and headed towards the bed, both getting on and laying in a seductive position mirroring each others movements.
"Tell us what you desire little man," one said.
"We'll fulfill your every need for tonight," the other one cooed.
"Alright, you two close your eye now— no peeking." Oz requested, the two cyclops giggled and did as Oz said. They closed their eye.

Suddenly everything was cold.

The air seemed to escape, there was no more  heavy coat of incense covering the room— and they felt afraid, very afraid.
"Wha—"
Both of them opened their eye, they could only see the dark and two swirling lights staring back— multiple staring back, accompanied by the sounds of screams and wails. Both started to cough.
In a blink one of the cyclops twins is face-to-face with Oz, holding her face with one hand while both of hers were desperately clawing at Oz's arm.
"N-no, please-" she sputtered, her eye started to water. A mouth started to form on Oz's face, filled the same light that is in Oz's eyes, sharp jagged black teeth surrounding the unhinging portal that is Oz's mouth.

The other cyclops twin could only watch in horror as the monster seemed to be sucking some kind of dark smog out of her sisters eye, hands slowing on the clawing until they dropped to her side. When the monster seemed finished he dropped her head, falling to her side facing her horrified sister. The pupil in her eye was gone.

As the monster seemed distracted, the cyclops grabbed a shank she always had under a pillow, in case her or her sister was attacked and stabbed the monster straight in the right temple, she let go and sputtered.
The weapon slowly disappeared into the monsters head and turned around to the dying cyclops sister,
"I said no peeping."
"W-what are you— ack!" The cyclops twin hacked, as her face was brought up to the monsters eyes. Tears rolling down her cheeks, they burned.

"Fear itself."
The remaining cyclops twin then felt a part of her soul being tugged as everything started to turn white, she met the same fate as her sister.

Oz dropped her head onto the bed. He tasted the twins fears in their mouth, not being liked, being ugly and fat, ending up poor and alone— why did high school girls always have the same carbon copy fears? A difference in the two twins would be that one has a fear that she would be slut-shamed if one her classmates found out about her 'job,' and the other getting called a fag for secretly having a crush on Vera— now that was a bit interesting. Oz's mouth closed and disappeared.

"Shows over,"

And in a blink of an eye the dark returned to Oz. The room was back to the illuminated hot pink it was and the lit candles crowding the shelves on the wall were no longer lit, the incense still gone from the air.
Oz was curious about the candles and went over to check one out, it read 'Sleeping Incense: make your victim fall asleep in a blink of an eye!'
Oz knew it, the twins were gonna rob them in their sleep and take the watch. Which reminds them, what time is it?
Oz looked down at their watch, 2:30am, they need to go. Oz spitted out the shank from their head, letting it clatter to the floor.
"Girls!"
The cyclops twins rised up simultaneously from their original positions. Funny thing about sucking fear out of people is that it would normally kill humans because human souls can't exist without fear, but a monsters soul can persist without fear— but all the motivation the monster previously had was gone, making them the perfect slaves.
"You will continue to live the life you did, except you will quit high school and never come near me ever again, okay?"
The twins nodded, the girls might be the perfect slaves but Oz didn't want slaves.
Oz wanted to finish high school— it would also raise suspicions too.

Oz melted into the shadows and slid under the door, racing the sun to see who would make it first. By a thread Oz won, making their way back to their room, changing into their regular attire and getting ready for the long day that is awaiting them. The phobias snuggled up against Oz, peaceful and resting.

Just another night.
