   Horrors POV:

Nightmare had called a meeting to the Meeting Room, left front wing, third floor, two below from the top tower, connected to the bridges and branches of the other towers. At this moment, I was searching for where the room had been until Cross saw me, grabbed my hand, and dragged me along to the room. The both of us being late, Cross opened the Meeting Room door, Nightmares attention went straight to us. Cross then released my hand and bowed to Nightmare, "Cross Xtale Sans." Nightmare grumbled, "You know when the times are for the meeting room, so you should be onto. Correct?" Nightmare had a disappointed look on his face, why wouldn't he? Cross was a long-time member, one of the first at that. "You are to stay after the meeting." The king warned, "Now take your damn seat." Cross then nodded quickly, rushing off to sit down in his seat that had a 'X' both marked on the front and back, just like the others it had something that represented the skeleton.

"Horror." Nightmares eye finally turned it's attention towards me. "Yes Sir?" I tilt my skull in sudden confusion and interest. Like a puppy or a dog. "Welcome to your first meeting. You are off the hook." His gaze looked at everyone else before back at me, I then shivered. His gaze was pretty intimidating. 'That's terrifying.' I thought. "Take a seat, anywhere that doesn't have anything claimed on it." Nightmare sighed. I nod slightly, The entire group watching me as I came up to the chairs, then sat on the floor in-between Dust and Cross, Error.being infront of Cross. There was no seat there, but just enough space for me to squeeze there. My cosmetic' ears lowering at the 'wind'.

"Horror! What're you doing on the floor?" Dust yelled-whispered, something like that. "Wh.... Wha-t do you m-mean?" I shivered, trembled, scared. Bandaged tail curled close to my side, right next to my legs. "I mean sit in a seat ov-", "Dust." Nightmares eye narrowed at my new friend beside me, worries began to overwhelm me 'oh no, did I... get him in-trouble? Oh no, oh stars, he's gonna hate me!' I panicked, frowning, watching Dusts stilled expression, a poker-face. "Yes boss?" Dust responded plainly, not one bit afraid of what Nightmare could and would do nor say. "Mind explaining to the rest of the crew what you were whispering to Cross?" Nightmares eye had a grouchy look to it, more frustrated and annoyed than anything, probably because someone not listening and instead talking over him. Almost like a Teacher?

"No sir, I don' t mind." Dust inhaled and exhaled to calm himself and get prepared on what he'd say, "I was just asking Horror why he's sitting on the floor and not on a chair across from me." Dust smiled a little but went back to a poker-face, setting his arms to hands onto the table. "Is that so?" Nightmare looked at Dust, "Horror. Stand up right this moment." Nightmare growled a little, voice cold and dull. Obviously, I instantly stood up. Tail going inbetween my legs. "Y-yes sire?" Nightmares eye opened a little more than it had been, "What're you doing on the floor now?" Nightmare approached me, standing right infront of me now. When he went to cross his arms, I had flinched.

"whoa. I'm not gonna hit cha now." Nightmare gently grabbed my ripped jacket sleeve instead of crossing his arms. "I-...." Nightmare had a worried look on his face that soon changed with himself clearing his throat. "We will talk after this meeting, got it? You first, then Cross. Got it?" Nightmare had waited about 10-25 minutes before I responded. "...yes boss." I nodded. Nightmare headed off to his chair in the front of the room, covered in tar. Only to talk of Killers problem and sickness, and how he'd be out for a bit. "-So I'll need a responsible, temporary Co-Boss." Nightmare scanned the area, mostly the group surrounded on each side of the medium table. "Error. You aren't at all apart of the group, but you have a room here. You are very responsible and clean. Do you want to claim the Temporary Co-Boss Title?" Nightmare eyed Error carefully but Error seemed unfazed. Small shaking movements of Nightmares eye could be seen if you looked at it long enough.
