Nightmare the Ex-guardian of negativity.

Chapter 5 - Company

Nightmare enjoyed a couple of years, waiting... and waiting, and another load of waiting. To be honest he was bored; the castle was clean so he couldn't do any repairs, passive was a very quick learner so it only took a few years to teach him everything in the school books they have and Killertale was almost ready for Nightmare. The highlight is in Almost, it was on its last planned Genocide run and Nightmare was cringing at the fails that he saw from Chara and Sans. Passive realised that Nightmare was torturing himself with watching Killertale so Passive decided to steal the glitchy pad until Killertale was ready. Error had came along with some other universes but Nightmare was set on Killertale at the moment, he was irritated of the waiting and was wishing for it to finish.

Which should be about now.

"Hey! Uhhh..." passive walks in, "I've forgotten what to call you." Nightmare rubs the sides of his nose(?) with his hand.

"Nightmare, call me Nightmare." Nightmare grumbles, "what did you need?"

Passive ignores Nightmare's questions, "but I'm nightmare, you stole my name. What if I call you Night? I've always wanted someone to call me Night!" Passive goes on about how if they were called Night then it would mean someone thinks they're pretty, Nightmare didn't really care.

"What did you need?" Nightmare repeats, giving off a negative aura. It was energy consuming but useful, Nightmare made a mental note to gain people who were negative to feed off of their energy.

Passive stops for a moment then shakes their head, "ah, right. Killertale is ready." Nightmare nods, not listening for a moment then freezes.

"It's... ready?" Nightmare says, surprised, "let's go." Nightmare stands up with a creepy grin written across his face. Passive nods, summoning a portal and hopping through. Nightmare followed close behind, trying to hide his smirk - which he did successfully.

Passive looks round the snow-filled forest, the snow glistened with crystals of ice, it was unearthly quiet though. Nightmare shuffles through the blank snow, Passive taking a handful of snow to see what it was.

"So, who are we searching for?" Passive asks, looking at Nightmare, "I wasn't exactly listening, isn't it someone..." he stops suddenly with everything except a horrified stare at something just beyond Nightmare.

Nightmare turns round and sees the pearly-white snow have a small messy crimson patch, it shifted like a drunk person trying to walk - or a wounded person. The crimson patch had a thin trail going along the snow, meeting up with a skeleton.

"Huh?" The wounded skeleton speaks, looking around with black eyes, "I haven't finished..." his eyes focuses on the blurry figure just infront of him. The figure was a blurry shade of black and grass-green with one block of glowing cyan where one of their eyes should be.

Nightmare peers down at the wounded and muttered, "I waited years for this?" Passive stood behind Nightmare nervously.

The wounded stands up, "you're not from around here, are you?" His word we're slow and his eyes were trying to focus on Nightmare.

He had a dull blue jacket over the top of a black turtleneck, a pair of black shorts with one white stripe down both sides of it and he held an almost blunt knife as if it has been used a lot. He was also caked in a mix of blood and dust. (Haha, Dust? I am so sorry! :) )

Nightmare crosses his arms at the shorter, "I am not." The other looks confused at him, "I assume an introduction is in order?"

"Right..." the other murmurs, playing with his knife, "I'm sans?" Nightmare nods with an eye roll.

He says, "I know. Now, I am Nightmare the Guardian of Negativity." Passive in the background dramatically exhale, "I am here to..." Nightmare had rehearsed what he should say but it was all aimed at a strong serial killer not a wounded... whoever he is, "save you?"

Sans gives a small controlled - not anything to show a serial killer - laugh and says, "I don't need saving." His face brightens a moment, "but it seems you're confused aswell. What do you really want?"

Nightmare gives an intrigued smirk and questions, "rather observant even if you can't see me probably. It seems you are alone here, am I correct?" He doesn't wait before saying, "almost as if you'd want... Company?" Passive looks between the two nervously, Sans was stood right in front of Nightmare and was staring at him creepily.

A moment's silence passed and Passive nervously walked round both of them, no noise coming from his small shuffles in the snow.

Sans gives a burst of laughter, "I'm not lonely!" Sans looks around saying, "I have my Chara~" he cued, putting his hands out like a little kid, "we're very happy! Aren't we Chara?" He calls, Passive shifts his head round for another person to appear.

Sans gives an impatient look, "get out here!" A look of anger shone through his pinprick-less eyes(?). A human teleports from nowhere, they floated next to Sans.

The human glares at Sans, "you don't get to call for me but I am interested. Who is this?" Sans looked in pain for a moment before looking at  nightmare.

"Hello, if you want to be polite you could at least acknowledge the monster that is intriguing to you." Nightmare grumbles, looking Chara in the eyes.

Chara give a surprised yelp and they summon a soul, it was a red monster soul, they squeeze it and Sans knees down, "Sans. Tell me how they can see me!" They order, Sans tightly closing his eyes before looking at Nightmare.

Nightmare replies for Sans, "I can't see you but I can sense you." He manipulates one of his four tentacles to latch onto Chara, they squirm about in the tight hold, "and I don't enjoy what you're doing to someone I need." Sans looks at Nightmare, dazedly.

"G-get off!" Chara stutters, their legs thrashing about to try to catch the tentacle. Nightmare ignores Chara.

"Sans. You don't seem violent, right now, but I want to make a promise with you." Nightmare takes parts of his rehearsal and speaks, "will you join me to help destroy the multiverse?"

Sans looks at Nightmare, black tears falling from his eyes, his face gradually falls into a psychotic smile and he stands up. Chara stares at Sans, a look of betray shone from their eyes.

"SANS!!!!!!" Chara screams, Nightmare gets bored of their voice and puts an inhuman amount of force upon Chara's bones, smashing them in until Chara's body goes limp.

Nightmare drops the body and looks at Sans, "are you joining me?" Nightmare asks, reaching out to shake Sans's hand.

Sans walks up to Nightmare, taking his hand, "I'd love to join you~" he seemed to be trying to be a bit flirty with Nightmare, Nightmare looks away confused at the reply but smiles.

"Good." Nightmare says, teleporting them both to his Castle.
