Nightmare's Little Brothers [ShatteredDreammare Story]

Glass Shards

I'm goin' to bed -_-
And now I'm awake. =)
 

   "Where is Shattered?" Nightmare asked Cross in a serious tone as he sat on the ground looking up at Nightmare.
   "So this is what this is about? Shattered-Dream?" Cross asked, then started chuckling with a sly smirk, "I always knew you were smitten for Dream~" Cross teased.
   "Watch it Cross." Nightmare growled.
   "Yes sir-" Cross shut his mouth before standing up and brushing himself off. "But to answer your question, I honestly don't know where Shattered is. I didn't even know he was still here."

   "Why wouldn't he be?" Nightmare asked.
   "I thought he was with Ink. He was the one who told me to 'distract you'- oh god I'm an idiot..." Cross just heard what he said outloud and realized how stupid he was for listening to Ink.
   "Yeah you are~" Chara was enjoying himself.
   "Shut it Chara." Cross hissed.

   "Yes. You're very idiotic. Now can you focus?" Nightmare was getting annoyed, "What does Ink want with Shattered?"
   "I don't know! Revenge!? Shattered did kill most of our friends!" Cross exclaimed with his hands up as he still contemplated his own sheer stupidity.
   "Then where's Ink?" Nightmare asked.
   "Probably in the anti-void. That's where he usually is now a days." Cross answered. Nightmare switched to his corrupt form.
   "I'm going. You don't have to follow." Nightmare informed him as he opened a portal to the anti-void.

   "I can't leave without a portal. I may as well come with you." Cross shrugged.
   "Also, I wanna yell at Ink for being a bitch." Chara grinned.
   "Pluse both of us have beef with Ink now." (Poor choice of words Cross?) Cross grinned with Chara as he punched his fist into his palm. Nightmare rolled his eyes, but was secretly amused by how much this Cross resembled his own Cross.
  
   They walked through the portal to the anti-void and were met with a deafening silence as the anti-void would usually have.
   Ink was waiting for them. Or rather, he was waiting for Nightmare, he didn't necessarily expect Cross to switch sides so quickly. Then again, it was Cross.

   "Hi Nightmare!" Ink smiled as he waved as if nothing was wrong. Still, as Nightmare looked into the souless, and there for aura-less, being's eyes, he saw a blood red aiming target in his eye with an overly joyous yellow star in the other. Sick bastard.
   "Where's Shattered?" Nightmare growled at him as he took a step forward.
   "He's here! Just calm down Mr grumpy!" Ink teased. A portal opened up in the air and dropped Shattered down to land on the ground.

   Ink's star eye turned to a grey trapezoid as he pulled Shattered up to his feet. Nightmare's tentacles sharpened as he saw Shattered in his corrupt form with a fabric gag in his mouth, and a similar fabric tied around his wrists and his arms were tied to the sides of his body with a familiar yellow fabric.
   Dream's cape was tied around Shattered in such a way that if he summoned his tentacles from his back, he would tear the cape in half. Even though this wasn't Shattered's cape, and even though Shattered didn't keep his own yellow cape any more, he couldn't bring it in himself to rip the yellow fabric with golden embroidery stitched on it.

   Shattered stared at Nightmare in surprise. Tears built in his eyes as his inner conflict tore his heart apart.
   Nightmare growled as he glared at Ink.
   "What do you want?" He asked with a sneer. For Shattered's safety's sake, Nightmare at this point was willing to bargain if that was really what it took.
   "I want to get rid of him." Ink's blank expression and monotone contrasted to his previous mood.
   As Ink reached his hand out to Shattered, Shattered noticeably flinched. Ink untied the cape carefully to not give Shattered any opening to attack him, and pushed Shattered forcefully toward Nightmare, using Dream's cape as a sort of shield from attacks. "You tentacle brothers are more work to keep in one place than it's worth. At least Shattered here is a little escape artist if given enough time." Ink complained while Shattered ran to Nightmare and hid his face in Nightmare's chest while lightly clutching his shirt with his bound up hands.
   Nightmare wrapped his arms around Shattered as well as a tentacle. Shattered's tentacles grew out of his back and held onto Nightmare like a life support.
