A Currupted Starlight

Chapter 23: hope

Dream POV: I woke up in comforting arms and a comfortable bed. Loud talking surrounded me and a bright light blinded me as I opened my eyes.

"Dream..?" Said a voice I didnt recognize.

If I'm going to be honest, I thought I had died.

The figure looked so much like currupted.. I was hopeful that I would finally be able to apologize to him..

But as I adjusted to the light, a noticed the goopy figure had a yellow outline surrounding it. He smiled at me. He seemed kind and protecting.

"Who...." I asked. I still felt exhausted. I couldnt muster up much words. I was confused. Who was he?

"I'm shattered. You dont know me. But I know you. Thank you for waking me dream. Dont worry. I mean no harm"

I slowly sit up and shattered helps. I notice that I'm laying in the old bed of the room with the scratched out label. I notice all the rest of the gang, ink and sci looking at me with a smile.

"What happened..? What's going on..?" I ask tiredly as I wipe my eyes.

"You passed out after adding magic to the apple. Shattered formed and set you on the bed so youd be more comfortable." Ink said.

I look at shattered. "Thank you....but......Currupted.... he told us to wake you.. he..... he died.... he said that you where the last hope-" I say. Was he the person that currupted wanted us to find..? What if I had misunderstood him? What if this wasnt right?

"Yes... he did." Shattered says.seeming disappointed

"Why..?" I say...

Who was he? Why was he so important?

"Well..." he looks at killer and walks over. He smiles and slowly takes the notebook from killer. Walking back over to me and placing it my hand. "This will explain it all. If you have any more questions after reading it, then I'll gladly answer."

I look at it.

Killer had told me about currupted and his secrets in it.........but.....

.........

I read it.......

...I feel myself start to cry....

Shattered slowly starts speaking. "He could affect you and your brothers mind with negativity to make you let out emotions easy.. I give your minds positivity. He couldn't do that. He couldn't save nightmare because nightmares mind was filled with negativity. I can change that. dream. He loved you and your brother more than anything. Just as I do. We grew up watching and protecting you. He wanted to help you both so much. But he knew he couldnt. He knew only I could...... so......"

"But why did he have to die in order for you to come back!?" I say. Crying more. I like shattered, dont get me wrong. But why. Why did he have to leave in order to have him back..?

"Well........

his soul was a negativity apple. Although he probably didnt have an aura after him and nightmare split, he still held negativity. Not a lot, But he still had it. Same with me...."

I realized..

".......The balance.." I whisper

Shattered nods and speaks "if he stayed, and brought me back. Then their would be to much negativity in the multiverse. It would collapse. So it was me or him to go....And.... he chose himself for the better health of you and your brother...."

I...

...I couldnt.....

I couldnt understand....

........

.....I cried..

...Everything hurt...

Shattered gently hugged me.

"He wanted to tell you.. he wanted to be kind. But he was scared. He didnt want you to feel like this. So he acted mean and hateful." He looks at the gang, ink and sci. " He acted mean to all of you. But I know currupted.. And I know he cared and loved all of you......and I'm sorry it had to be like this..."

..Most of them where crying..

I missed him

We all did..

All the negativity hurt..

My soul ached..

But...

...I looked up at shattered..

I suddenly felt better..?

I noticed nothing hurt anymore.. I still missed him.. but the negativity of everyone didnt hurt me or my soul suddenly.

I looked at shattered's hands and noticed familiar magic forming at his palms, and absorbing into me.

Positivity magic..

It calmed me.

The positivity from the magic made my soul not hurt. It slowly canceled out all the negativity.

I missed him,

But I knew he'd be happy if we helped nightmare.

So.. that's what I'm going to do.

I hugged shattered and smiled. I looked over and smiled at everyone. I slowly walked over and hugged killer. I reached out to horror and dust, And they gladly joined the hug. They where crying. So I comforted them. I let them know that he was happy now. I let them know that everything is ok.

Nightmare.

I'll help you.

Currupted.

I'm sorry.

Shattered.

Thank you.

This is my happy ending.

Let's make this story come to an end, shall we..?
