Nightmare's Connection [DISCONTINUED... And Very Old-]

Chapter 24

Error had tears welding in his eyes. Cross looked up shock slowly consuming him.

"Um... Cross?"

Killer waved his hand in front of Cross's face, getting no reaction he followed his gaze leading to Nightmare. Nightmare just looked at the ground, he couldn't face them... he felt arms wrap around him, he pushed them away and turned his gaze further away from everyone. It was silence for a long time he could feel everyone's gaze.

"Nightmare it wasn't-"

"Yes it was..."

Nightmare turned back to all of them, they were hurt. If Nightmare just never left his stupid Au, If he had just died. They wouldn't have to suffer, he wouldn't have hurt anyone else...

"Nightmare you know-"

"It doesn't change anything..."

"Nightmare-"

"What else am I going to do!?"

Nightmare turned to face Error, he could feel his own anger, sadness and regret. He could feel it so clearly. Nightmare looked at the ground shaking.

"I've already done enough..."

Nightmare grabbed onto the floor below him, he felt his tears fall and hit the ground.

"Nightmare..."

Nightmare gritted his teeth.

"I should have just died with the rest of them..."

He looked up, he didn't care how much he was crying he didn't care if he wasn't hiding his emotions he just didn't care.

"Don't you get it? This is my fault..."

It was silent again, Killer and Cross... Nightmare couldn't tell what they where thinking or feeling, and Error was just feeling so much at once. Dust and Horror... Had both fallen into unconsciousness but atlest Killer had  started healing thier wounds.

"It's my fault..."

Nightmare repeated once more before completely breaking down. Nightmare felt a hand entwine with his, he opened his eye and despite his tears making his vision blurry he could still tell it was Errors.

"It's not your fault Nightmare..."

Nightmare looked up at Error, it was his fault so why? Just why still care... Nightmare didn't care he hugged Error burying his face in his jacket. Nightmare just needed someone... It felt like Nightmare sat thier crying into Error for hours before he fell asleep, he was curled up on Error snuggling into his jacket. Error did try to move Nightmare but it stirred him being separated from him, so Error was sitting there with Nightmare in his arms. Nightmare's sleep on the other hand was dreamless but he could feel the comfort of being near Error, he felt safe. Nightmare wanted to leave... But not because he actually wanted to- because he didn't want to hurt anyone. He felt like now, if he tried he couldn't leave, he needed these guys but was it worth having them suffer? Maybe Nightmare could find a way to stop all the pain, sadness and suffering, but was it possible? How would it be possible... Nightmare was interrupted by Error shifting his position, Nightmare self-consciously reached out and grabbed Errors arm not wanting him to leave.

"Pitiful."

Nightmare flinched, that was the usual creepy echoing sound his hates voice had. Nightmare opened his eyes but it was a dark blank space, out of nowhere the darkness seemed to reach out and grab Nightmare. His arms and legs were pinned against a wall. While another... Hand...? Tendril...? Covered Nightmares mouth, some more tendrils wrapped around Nightmare's shoulders, chest and waist ensuring Nightmare wasn't going anywhere.
