Your POV

Nightmare's tour of the castle lasted for about maybe half an hour or so, but it wasn't quite the tour that was thrilling. Sure the castle may be luxurious and the fact alone that Nightmare built it is amazing in all but, it was the massive library he had that made my eyes sparkle and light up. So did the music room but that is for us to know and nobody to find out~ hopefully-. When he had showed me the library I immediately became over joyed at the sight of all those wonderfully-chock-full- of adventure- books! His response was to laugh as I grasped his arm. I was sad to say farewell to the library, but knowing I could go there anytime I please was just simply amazing! Anyways! Nightmare and I continued through the hall, stopping at a few rooms to look, and not soon after we reached the end of that massive hallway, Nightmare stopped "That should be about everything," He said putting a boney, but gloved, hand up to his chin "I am going to try to find Error. See if I can round up the idiots and make sure they don't hurt you." He then looked down at me "Idiots? Isn't that a little harsh?" I laughed a little "Oh you'll soon see and agree with me." he chuckled. "Maybe, Maybe not. Can't be worse than you~" I held in a giggle as he stiffened and looked back down at me "Oh, how dare you. Don't make me punish you for that..." He smirked and I blushed in embarrassment. "Oh, no need for that I assure you!" Avoiding eye contact Nightmare crouched down to my level. Pinching my cheeks as he spoke "Maybe, maybe not." he mimicked me and laughed. I tried to pry his hands away from my face but didn't quite succeed. "Okay, okay, okay! Ow! You can stop now!" I fake pout as he laughed once more. "Now I'm going to round up the others. Wait here a moment." I nodded and he nodded back in satisfaction. Teleporting somewhere else I fiddled with my dress and decided I would walk around and explore just a little-

Bad move!

A giant red glowing knife almost hit my head, moving quickly my magic activated itself out of defense and the flowers grew in my hair once again. "Hey, not bad for a human," This time it was a skeleton with a red lightning bolt looking scar under his right eye, he wore only black and grey, kind of depressing- Wait what am I doing?! Now is certainly not the time to describe the skeleton who is trying to kill me! I stepped back and summoned my magic to my hands, preparing myself for another attack the skeleton summoned his knife again. "Now let's try that again. And this time, get it right." he charged towards me, wielding his blade behind him and I braced myself. When his blade came down on me I grasped it my palms, except my palms had tree roots to stop the blow so that I wouldn't get my palms chopped off. "Wha-" I quickly took this moment to take his blade, summon my strength, and-

Kick him in the non-existent nuts.

Yup.

He didn't take that well at all and fell down groaning. "Ah ShI-" his voice became weak and he kept on grumbling and rolling around. Holding the area I kicked he spoke "What kind of human has that strength?!" He wheezed out. I was about to speak until I felt a presence behind me and looked up. Lo and behold it was Nightmare! "(Y/n)? What did you do to Cross?" Nightmare looked down at the so called Cross on the floor, rolling around he finally stopped. "What?! Boss you know this psychotic human?!" He furrowed his brows "You are the one who attacked me!" I frowned and argued back, still holding his big red knife. "Wait Cross you're telling me you got bested by a human girl half your size?" Nightmare burst out laughing "That's my girl (Y/n)!" He kept laughing until the rest of the skeletons came, and looking at what was in front of them they exchanged confused looks. "What happened to Cross? And why is the human holding his knife?" Sad skeleton spoke while walking over to where Cross now lay, covering his face with his arms. "Don't speak to me-" he weakly mumbled out. "(Y/n) kicked cross's non existent butt." Nightmare wiped away a literal tear. 'What's with these skeletons! It's just self defense!' I stood there with furrowed brows, watching the skeletons' every move. "Woah, woah, woah! Seriously Cross?! She's only half your size!" Crackhead smiled and started to laugh just as Nightmare stopped. "Man, either she's insanely powerful or we have overestimated Cross!" Hoodie joined in the laughter.
