Child of my Killer

The Star Sanses Find Out

Horror and I had surrendered ourselves so we could be taken with. Now we both sat tied up in chairs. "ya know, this really isn't necessary." Carrot stated to Ink. "especially tyin blue up." They gave Carrot pitying stares. Carrot looked annoyed. "Mweh.. some people take longer to convince, brother, it's ok." Carrot looked to me and sighed in defeat. "alright.. i'm going out for a smoke." Irritation and worry built up and I found myself nagging Papyrus like in the old day. "PAPYRUS YOU KNOW SMOKING IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH!"
"i don't even have lungs bro." He replied, enjoying the sense of familiarity. "STILL! IT'S GOT TO BE BAD FOR YOU IN SOME WAY OR ANOTHER!" I looked away, puffing my cheeks. I would have crossed my arms too, but tied up and all that. "heh heh heh.. i miss this." I glanced back towards him. "Me too... does that mean you WON'T smoke?" He rolled his eyelights. "eh... fine. i won't today." I beamed. "YES!!!!" The sweet taste of victory... only if it is for a day.

Throughout the entire argument, Ink, Dream and Horror watched silently. The former two found it familiar while the latter tilted his head curiously. "You don't like smoking, bitter?" I turned to Horror. "Well.. for context, Papyrus has been smoking since he was sixteen. I got worried, knowing the effects that could have on humans.. I'm sure there's negative consequences for monsters too. I've been trying to get him to quit since."
"oh." Was all the bloody skeleton had to say. Ink looked suspicious. "how did you know carrot's been smoking since he was sixteen?"
"Carrot already told you." I replied. "i can vouch. i was the one who killed him, after all." I flinched. "Yeah.." The pair tensed. "oh we know, and if we could've, we would have killed you for that already, but blue wouldn't have wanted that." Ink hissed. Dream flinched and placed a hand on Ink's shoulder. "take a walk. calm down." Ink grumbled and left, slamming the door behind him. Everyone flinched.

Dream focused on me. "you were being honest this entire time... you carry alot of guilt and fear... but under all that i can feel some happiness and a little bit of confidence too. those were blue's trademark positivities. so i'm going to ask two personal questions, and your going to answer them. depending on your answers depends on if you really are blue or not. ok?" I nodded. "Deal." Dream sat down on the couch. "question one: when and how did blue join the star sanses?"
"May 7th 20XX. I was doing my patrol in Underswap and stumbled upon you and Ink fighting Nightmare and Error. Horror, Killer, and Dust weren't apart of their group yet. You looked like you needed some help, so I jumped in. You'd said that I had potential and asked if I wanted to join a greater cause. I said yes, of course!" Dream's sockets widened, and he tried to keep himself composed. "what was our last mission together?" He asked. My fond smile dropped then returned, much sadder. "We were going to purify Nightmare and seal away Error.. my job was to hold back the Murder Time Trio.."
"but we hunted you instead.." Horror muttered guiltily. Dream couldn't hold his emotions. "o-oh stars, blueberry!" He hugged onto me, crying. "i-i'm so sorry! this was my fault!" He sobbed and I tried to hug and comfort him best I could.

"Honestly.. you all blame yourselves, but this was none of your faults." I rubbed my wrists, now free of my bonds. The three guilty skeletons looked at me. "I thought for sure I could do it. I was to overconfident in my abilities. I know better now. Now I KNOW that we can do it. But only if we work together." I looked back at them. I felt confident for the first time in a long time. Until Ink came back in. He froze. "dream." He glowered at the Guardian of positivity. "ink! it is blue! it's him!"
"blue is dead!" Ink shouted. He went quiet, as did everyone else. "blue died... when he killed him." Ink pointed at Horror, who looked down. "he is.. dead.." Ink was crying, breaking down. I walked over to my friend. "Ink.. it's ok.. I'm here, Ink. Hey.. remember my third day here at the base? Dream was in Dreamtale for the day, fixing up the place. We drew together, than swapped pictures and made up stories for each. I'd drawn a little bunny. You'd made a bird. We decided that they were best friends. Hopp and Tweets." Ink looked at me in shock. "y-you couldn't know about hopp and tweets.. y-you're really.. really him..?"
"I'm really really him." I replied. He hugged me close, crying harder.
