"Nightmare?..."

Nightmare looked up, he saw the pastel pinky orange sky with white clouds that had a slight pink tint in them from the sky above them, He then looked around realising he was no longer in the castle, no longer surrounded by the black walls with the small golden patterns along them, he only saw himself sitting in a huge meadow of indigo purple, golden yellow and teal blue flowers, the wind gently nudged against the flowers making them sway slowly, he stood up to look around, the flowers were as tall as his hips, there were many other hills covered in the same flowers, over to his left was a huge lake that glittered in the sun light, after taking a long look at the lake he could see small fish of different shades of silver jumping out of the water, their scales also glittering in the sun light, Nightmare wondered where he was, he attempted to remember what had happened before he got here, he sat back down in the flowers and started thinking.

✨Meanwhile✨

Killer, Horror and surprisingly Dust all were panicked, Nightmare had passed out on the floor unexpectedly, "Did you cut his palm too deeply?!" Horror yelled at Killer, "NO! Only a small bit just to get his blood like you guys told me to!" Killer replied with the same amount of panicked yelling, "WELL TAKE HIM TO THE HEALER'S ROOM!" Dust ordered, "We CAN'T take him while he's like THIS!! The healers would no longer take him SERIOUSLY!!" Horror snapped, Dust had managed to get out of his stuck situation while all the panicking was happening, Killer had put the cloak onto Nightmare like a blanket, "HORROR!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS?!" Killer asked in his increasing panicked state, Horror took a moment to think but ended up shaking his head, Killer without a second thought picked up the unconscious King, bridal style, and ran away with him, "HEY!!" Both Horror and Dust bellowed as he ran away, Killer opened the door to Nightmare's room then walked inside, he closed the door with his foot as his arms were occupied on carrying the small King, he walked towards the bed and placed the other down, he then tucked Nightmare into bed before sitting by the his side on the bed, Killer watched him sleep, the only thing he could really do right now was stay by the slumbering king's side and wait till he woke up.

🌑Nightmare's POV🌑

I remember now, Horror, Dust and Killer were trying to figure out if I was me or not, How can they be so dumb? But then again I did sudden change into....... How the fuck did I return to my past self? Wasn't this body destroyed by my corruption? I sigh closing my eye sockets and falling backwards into the flowers before mumbling, "How did I get here any wa-" "Nightmare?" I was cut off by a voice... A familiar one... A voice I thought I'd never hear again after my take over of the whole multiverse. I open my eye sockets and saw a skeleton monster with golden eyelights, looking down at me. I sat up quickly staring at him in disbelief, he backed away, startled by my movement. It can't be... He wore that same outfit Nightmare remembered he wore when they were young, so very young...

I started to tear up a bit, "D-Dream?", It can't be "Yes brother?" I stood up and tackle hugged Dream, causing him to fall backwards into the flowers, falling backwards with a small surprised noise, "I missed you!" I shouted with my voice going all wobbly from my tears. We stayed in our comfortable embraces for a while before Dream pushed me back a little bit so he could see my face. "What do you mean you missed me? We saw each other just 5 minutes ago," I stared at him in confusion, "But.. didn't I.. you were.." Oh wait.. was this.. the past? How did I get here?

The ground suddenly shook a bit which took me out of my thoughts. Dream looked up, "Oh, It must be time to head back to mother," he said with a smile before getting up, helping me to stand as well before holding my hand. "Come on brother!" Dream beamed before dragging me as he ran. I saw a darkness Dream was blindly running to, I tried to call out my concerns, tried to stop us, but it was useless, I couldn't do anything, I cried tears of sadness and despair as the whole world around us faded to darkness, Within seconds I was surrounded by darkness and..... no Dream. Was this pay back? A little memory I didn't recognise of Dream and me? Was that just a way to make me feel guilty for all I've taken from the world?.... Well it worked, I was crying and pleading into the darkness for the return of that warm and hopeful feeling of Dream and that make believe world around us..... But nothing happened...

🗡Killer's POV🗡

I yawned tiredly, It was some serious work watching over someone as they sleep and I'M NOT A STALKER! OKAY!? Anyway Nightmare looked so comfy... and warm in his bed that I unconsciously got up and walked to the side opposite to him, getting into bed with the adorable little King, I still didn't feel like sleeping though, so I just hugged Nightmare like he was a teddy bear.... Heh, yeah... My little skelly teddy~ Before I knew it I had fallen asleep with my crush in my arms, When he wakes up I'm soooooo dead Haha.
