Bow down to your king (Undertale AU's story)

Permanent grin

As you and Nightmare are walking through the castle towards the hall, you seem a lot more relaxed than before.

Nightmare notice it ,,𝔜𝔬𝔲 𝔰𝔢𝔢𝔪 𝔯𝔢𝔩𝔞𝔵𝔢𝔡... 𝔤𝔬𝔬𝔡. ℑ 𝔡𝔬𝔫𝔱 𝔴𝔞𝔫𝔱 𝔞 𝔫𝔢𝔯𝔳𝔬𝔲𝔰𝔢 𝔥𝔞𝔩𝔣𝔟𝔩𝔬𝔬𝔡 𝔬𝔫 𝔪𝔶 𝔰𝔦𝔡𝔢 𝔬𝔫 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔱𝔞𝔟𝔩𝔢."

You look at him in surprise ,,What do you mean, king?" He ignore your look ,,ℑ 𝔰𝔞𝔦𝔡 𝔱𝔥𝔞𝔱 ℑ 𝔴𝔦𝔩𝔩 𝔱𝔞𝔨𝔢 𝔠𝔞𝔯𝔢 𝔬𝔣 𝔶𝔬𝔲, 𝔬𝔯 𝔫𝔬𝔱? 𝔅𝔢𝔱𝔴𝔢𝔢𝔫 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔪𝔲𝔯𝔡𝔢𝔯𝔱𝔦𝔪𝔢- 𝔱𝔯𝔦𝔬 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔴𝔬𝔲𝔩𝔡 𝔠𝔢𝔯𝔱𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔩𝔶 𝔤𝔢𝔱 𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔬 𝔞 𝔠𝔬𝔫𝔣𝔩𝔦𝔠𝔱."

You just nod, but you know that he is lying.

----🅣︎🅘︎🅜︎🅔︎🅢︎🅚︎🅘︎🅟︎ 🅣︎🅞︎ 🅣︎🅗︎🅔︎ 🅤︎🅝︎🅣︎🅘︎🅛︎ 🅨︎🅞︎🅤︎ 🅔︎🅐︎🅣︎----

You sit right next to Nightmare on his left handside, silently, quite and focused on ignoring the argument between Dust and Horror.

Error, an in your eyes glitchy and unstable AU destroyer is sitting next to Cross. They glared at each other with cold eyes.

And Killer sit on Nightmares other side. His wounds are full healed amd he seems calm.

While you are still eating you notice how dizzy you are getting, but you ignore it and look to Nightmare ,,What are we going to do tomorrow, king? You said it would be a more exhausting day."

Nightmare scrutinize you before he start talking ,,𝔚𝔢 𝔞𝔯𝔢 𝔤𝔬𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔱𝔬 𝔤𝔢𝔱 𝔬𝔯𝔢 𝔯𝔢𝔠𝔯𝔲𝔱𝔢𝔰, 𝔎𝔦𝔩𝔩𝔢𝔯 𝔴𝔦𝔩𝔩 𝔭𝔲𝔱 𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔯𝔶𝔬𝔫𝔢 𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔬 𝔱𝔢𝔞𝔪𝔰."
You nod ,,Who am I on the team with?"

He continues to eat and only answer after a few more moments ,,𝔚𝔦𝔱𝔥 𝔪𝔢."
You look at him in surprise but before you can say a word he continue ,,ℑ𝔱 𝔠𝔞𝔫 𝔤𝔢𝔱 𝔞 𝔟𝔦𝔱 𝔯𝔦𝔰𝔨𝔶, 𝔶𝔬𝔲𝔯 𝔬𝔩𝔡 ,𝔣𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔫𝔡𝔰' 𝔴𝔞𝔫𝔱 𝔱𝔬 𝔞𝔱𝔱𝔞𝔠𝔨 𝔲𝔰 𝔴𝔦𝔱𝔥 𝔠𝔢𝔯𝔱𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔶."

Error looks back and forth between you two ,,ኗeez, ርanፕ ሃዐሁ tሠዐ ኗeፕ a ዪዐዐm?" Nightmare glares at him but say nothing.

You continue eating and after you finish you feel more dizzy. You stay on your seat as everyone except Nightmare leaves the hall

He start watching you but this time you dont care. Nightmare grin as he start talking ,,𝔄𝔯𝔢 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔞𝔩𝔯𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱, 𝔡𝔢𝔞𝔯?"

You nod slightly ,,Yes...Im fine...I just feel tired and a little bit dizzy..." You look at the your hands which starts to shake.

You didnt notice Nightmares manipulative grin ,,ℑ𝔣 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔡𝔬𝔫𝔱 𝔣𝔢𝔢𝔩 𝔴𝔢𝔩𝔩 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔠𝔞𝔫 𝔰𝔱𝔞𝔶 𝔦𝔫 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔠𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔩𝔢 𝔱𝔬𝔪𝔬𝔯𝔯𝔬𝔴."

You shake your head ,,No, Im fine, really." you stand up, but way too fast because your legs buckle.

Before you can fall, Nightmare catch you and grin amused ,,ℑ 𝔟𝔯𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔱𝔬 𝔶𝔬𝔲𝔯 𝔟𝔢𝔡𝔯𝔬𝔬𝔪 𝔟𝔢𝔣𝔬𝔯𝔢 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔠𝔞𝔫 𝔤𝔢𝔱 𝔩𝔬𝔰𝔱." you nod weakly, not able to sey much about it.

You clasp his arm a little as you take a wobbly step. After a few moments he already lead you through the castle.

As you walk through the castle you cant shake the feeling like something is slowly engulfing your soul like a snake his prey.

You look at Nightmare but you cant see anything bad about his permanent grin. Only when he looks at you with his vicious coldness eye you have to swallow hard.

Of curse he notice and his grin wide ,,𝔚𝔥𝔶 𝔞𝔯𝔢 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔰𝔴𝔞𝔩𝔩𝔬𝔴𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔰𝔬 𝔥𝔞𝔯𝔡?" You take a few steps away from him ,,You...have read it?"

,,𝔑𝔬, 𝔟𝔲𝔱 ℑ 𝔴𝔦𝔩𝔩 𝔞𝔣𝔱𝔢𝔯 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔧𝔲𝔰𝔱 𝔯𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔞𝔩𝔢𝔡 𝔦𝔱" He grab you without a word and carries you into your room.

His anger is clearly to feel as he dropes you half hearted in your room
,,𝔚𝔥𝔢𝔯𝔢 𝔦𝔰 𝔦𝔱?" You look anxiously to your bed and he walks over to it

Like he knew its in the pillow he fetches your diary and open it. Nightmare stands against the wall begins to read it.

You stand up and look at him anxiously from time to time expecting like hes going to beat you up at any moment. Then you hesitantly sit down on your bed.

When Nightmare finish your diary he put it on the bedside table and look at you.

He has read the little texts you wrote to Ink and the others while you still had hope that they would get you out of this castle.

You look at your hands shaking with fear. When suddenly one of Nightmare's tentacles almost misses your head and causes a hole in the wall behind you, you wince even more fearfully.

In apparent concentration not to attack you, he glares at you ,,𝔏𝔬𝔬𝔨 𝔞𝔱 𝔪𝔢 𝔥𝔞𝔩𝔣𝔟𝔩𝔬𝔬𝔡" you swallow and look at him with fear in your eyes, you cant even say that even a piece of your old self is in you now.

He examanies every single one of your movements for signs of your not longer existing courage.

Nightmare grin maliciously, you anxiously slide away from him closer to the wall ,,ℑ𝔪 𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔫𝔨𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔞𝔟𝔬𝔲𝔱 𝔴𝔥𝔞𝔱 𝔱𝔬 𝔡𝔬 𝔴𝔦𝔱𝔥 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔫𝔬𝔴, 𝔶𝔬𝔲𝔳𝔢 𝔡𝔬𝔫𝔢 𝔰𝔬𝔪𝔢𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔱𝔥𝔞𝔱 𝔤𝔬𝔢𝔰 𝔞𝔤𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔰𝔱 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔯𝔲𝔩𝔢𝔰."

He grins manipulatively as he pauses for a moment before he continue ,,ℑ 𝔠𝔞𝔫 𝔫𝔬𝔱 𝔩𝔬𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔯 𝔱𝔞𝔨𝔢 𝔠𝔞𝔯𝔢 𝔬𝔣 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔦𝔣 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔡𝔬 𝔰𝔲𝔠𝔥 𝔱𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔯𝔬𝔲𝔰 𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔫𝔤𝔰."

You look at him scared an shocked ,,B-but my king, if you dont take care if me...w-who else will do?..." Nightmare continues to grin manipulatively ,,𝔑𝔬 𝔬𝔫𝔢, 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔴𝔬𝔲𝔩𝔡 𝔟𝔢 𝔞𝔩𝔬𝔫𝔢, 𝔥𝔢𝔩𝔭𝔩𝔢𝔰𝔰 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔴𝔢𝔞𝔨."

You're starting to sound desperate ,,B-but I need someone who takes care of me- p-please you cant do this to me-" he looks at you with cold eyes but keeps grinning ,,𝔖𝔲𝔯𝔢 ℑ 𝔠𝔞𝔫, 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔤𝔞𝔳𝔢 𝔪𝔢 𝔞 𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔰𝔬𝔫."

,,P-please, it wont happen again, I promise but p-please d-dont leave me." Tears start to form in your eyes. You cannot deal with the feeling of eternal loneliness and weakness when you are alone.

You fully believe that you need someone who takes care of you. Nightmare turns away more tears forms in your eyes, your fear is growing ,,P-please I need you, my king-"

He looks over his shoulder at you with his manipulative grin ,,𝔓𝔯𝔬𝔳𝔢 𝔱𝔬 𝔪𝔢 𝔱𝔥𝔞𝔱 𝔴𝔬𝔫𝔱 𝔥𝔞𝔭𝔭𝔢𝔫 𝔞𝔤𝔞𝔦𝔫."
