Opposite Blue

Chapter 18 - Worry

The Next Day ~ 6AM
Nightmare's View:
I got no sleep whatsoever. Blue hasn't returned home and the anxiety had overflowed me.

Blue could be hurt.
The baby could be hurt.

We had spent the whole of yesterday searching for him but nobody could even sense him in the timeline, even in the multiverse. He knew he wasn't dead either, Reaper would've told us.

Shattered wasn't alive, it couldn't be him.

But who else?

Blue has no known enemies.

* Nightmare, I've been calling your name three times, are you okay..?!

Dream snapped his fingers in front of my face. I blinked back into reality.

* Sorry, I was thinking.

Dream sat down besides me.

* I think I've gotten some info.

I turned to face him immediately.

* Yesterday, Blue wasn't the only one to disappear. Other Sanses have been reported missing. And, his scent was last found in the park.

Dream and I teleported to the park but all there was...was children. Surely one of them must've seen what happened.

* Hello little guys! I have some cookies for you all!

Dream crouched down and suddenly he had three trays of mouth-watering cookies. The children went running to him.

* Before I give them out though...have you guys seen mymy good friend Blue?

He showed a picture of him with his phone. The children went silent. Dream waited a moment before giving them all a cookie. They ran off.

* Why'd you let them-

* The cookies had a truth spell on them.

One child came back.

"I saw someone take his hand and poof, they were gone!"

* Could you describe the person who took his hand?

"Well...they looked like you guys. A-And they opened a purple portal!"

A Sans with purple magic. Dream thanked the kid and they went on their way.

* That won't help u-

* Lust!Sans maybe?

Dream opened a portal to his timeline and knocked on the door. A few seconds later, Lust opened it.

* Hey Lust, how are you? 🙂

* Hey Dream! Come in guys, come in.

This wasn't the reaction I had expected.

* It's been a while since I had company, y'know since...

* Yes of course. How have you been coping?

* I miss 'im but, I gotta stay strong for him.

Dream and I sat down on the sofa as Lust went to get drinks for us. Something didn't add up.

* He seems awfully happy with a dead brother.

* Nightmare, be nice! Besides, it's because he's around me at the moment. I don't think Blue's disappearance has anything to do with him.

Lust came back and Dream and him were in a conversation. I used magic silently to scan his house, there was a room that blocked my magic. I stood and and walked towards it.
