A HorrorMare Story By Una; "What You Wished For."

Chapter 12|"Meat Slab, Apology."

"Well?" Nightmare gave a pretty inpatient grunble at my silence. "Horror,I'm trusting you to tell me. You're new, It's best to give you this simple fuckin' 'task'." Nightmare looked off to the side,sighing softly. "Now, you are well-aware I'd like a answer. Hm?" Nightmares cyan eye started to glow quite a bit as the castle darkened, his attention turning towards me. "As usual,the new-blood never speaks of their experience with the fi--", "I..." I murmured, cutting Nightmare off. "What?" Nightmare tucked his hands into his pockets. "Quit mumbling and murmuring." Nightmare hissed slightly under his breath, from behind him his tentacle swiftly swaying in annoyance,getting less patient by the second. "I'll tell you... p-promise. Just give me a minute or two..." I close my eye,expecting a yell, shout, hit or slap, but, to my surprise that didn't happen. I hestiantly opened my eye. Night looked pleased yet bit surprised, also a tint of annoyance in his glare from the time he had already given me. "I trust you," Nightmare started, "you better keep your word, big guy." Nightmare stated simply. I nod a bit,opening my eye all the way. "Yes sir..." I smile slightly.

  ...

  Around 2-3 minutes passed bu, Finally, The Boss came back over after checking with Lust with troubled Killer. "Ready to speak of what happened?" The tentacled figure questions, I respond with a small nod. Nightmare sat carefully infront of me, not to close,not to far. "Go ahead." Nightmare had calmed down by now, his glare soft. "So... After,uh... seeing you, Sir, I went up to the training room where the uh,list was hanging up, to see which days I had been listed to for training..." I take a shakey breath "Count to ten, take a deel breath each time." Nightmare interrupted. I nod, then 'inhaled', "One..." I hear him count to me,I exhale. We went up to ten,doing that everytime. "Now,Continue." I look to the side. "There was this animal. Uhm. Don't quite remember what kind. I-I think I was a bit hungry... I uh... With the animal,my vision got clouded with black and I don't remember what exactly went on with it. Until uh, Killer, d-dashed at me.." I stuttered then repeated with the reliever I was just taught. "He was really quick with throwing the attacks whenever he possibly found the opening... Almost near when you arrived, I pulled out the weapon a-although I prefer using my strength by itself but It wouldve been a hard thing to do catching him..."

"The axe?"

"Y-yes... He called me names and continued acting out until you arrived.." Nightmare didn't exactly respond to my ending, just simply went back to the middle-ish to the beginning. "Hungry for a house-pet?" Nightmare finally said after two minutes. "I believe so,Sir..." I responded. "...okay."

...

  Nightmare sighed softly. "I'm gonna take you to the kitchen to get a quick snack. Then you will come straight back here to apologize and make-up with Killer. One way or another." I nod quickly. Nightmare slowly stood up and waited for me to arise off my knees. I slowly arose,my bones rattling because I rarely crouch like that anymore, Nightmare watched me quietly before turning away and crossing his arms.

    Nightmares POV:

  'This guy will be such trouble to keep track of. No matter, I will keep my word unlike that pesky, positive guardian and my pitiful brother. It is best we keep hidden from him for the time being as I gather a group... considering it hasnt been that long after the 'Apple Incident'. His friends are so annoying, mostly the soulless artist.' I thought. "Are we going yet?" Horror asked, I snapped back to reality to look at him, glancing behind me to look at the tall skeleton. He had been tilting his cracked skull like a husky, very confused. I blink, slight embarrassed. "Yeah yeah, don't become a big softie for just me now." I huff slightly and headed downstairs with the new-blood. Horror kept close to my side,maybe a few inches behind incase I make a turn he doesn't expect, I look away from my follower. That weird, disgusting, unsettling positive feeling coning back that I always try to shake off or I'll lose my reputation, as it may also lead Dream right to them.
