A trip to the past.

The End is just the Start.

My hands balled up into fists, this needed to end immediately. This fool..this other me..this idiot! He should of listened. But he didn't.
I could possibly use this opportunity of his shock to get him to join.
Currently it's my only shot, and I only have one go at this for this alternate universe.
I took a deep breath and walked over, watching his shaking figure grip onto the cape my,.his..our. Our brother once wore.
I couldn't help but feel a slight tinge of sympathy for the younger me. Out of all people I of course knew how this felt.
I knew how it felt to loose him having first hand experienced it.

"Why didn't I stop!?" "He lied! You believed a liar over your twin!" "Forever six. He's forever six because of you and all these foolish nightmares who dare call themselves citizens." "Executed your own brother. How dare you! Stupid! Stupid stupid! Why did you do it!?" "You're a foolish greedy idiot" "you-"

My thoughts were interrupted by a darkened voice "I told you. Didn't I." I looked up at the man I'd met earlier, I gripped Dream's cape closer to my chest, unable to speak, I couldn't bring myself to utter a single word. Ashamed, defeated, numb, all words to describe this strange feeling bubbling inside of me.

"Tch. Let's go." He stated, I stared in confusion and fear as an unsettling wave crashed over me.
Before I could respond I was hoisted off my knees and onto my feet, I stumbled a little quickly regaining my balance. I clipped Dreams cape around my neck letting it drape over my shoulders.
"We're going to try and get back to the past. My past. If we can change mine then yours will be altered. There is practically no time to explain at this rate. Now follow me...what do you go by here.?" The man stopped speaking, staring into my very soul, waiting?
"I..Night, my name is Night here" I choked the words out once he started giving me impatient glares.

"Night? Huh. Alright then Night, let's go." I watched him open some sort of teal swirled with purple circle. I stared at him in confusion "what..what is that thing.?!" My tone rang out as apparently more of a demand than a question as he simply glared at me.
His glare sent shivers down my spine, as if he knew each disgusting and dark secret I held deep down, as if piercing into my soul.
I hadn't enough time to react before I was thrown into the circle.

I rose my dirt covered face off the ground and pushed myself back onto my feet.
I scanned the area we seemed to have landed in
...
home!?

Quickly I turned as I heard a strange zap like noise behind me.
The strange man had made the circle disappear.
"I thought you said we were going to your past to save Sun!? Why are we back here!?" I seethed out, gritting my teeth together as my hands balled up into tight fists.

"We are in the past. Now follow me, I know his whereabouts from when I went to your world." Without another word the strange one began walking towards some lush green hills in the distance. "Why aren't we using your circle thing!?" I demanded to know, it would be faster than any other mode of transport that we had available! I want my brother back. I want him back NOW.
He simply turned to me with a sharp unsettling glare "because. If we fail I need to bring us to the past again. And I need this thing called energy to do so. Do you understand me.?" His voice sounded darker than before, something about it, the way he said it maybe, I'm unsure. Whatever it was caused an unfamiliar feeling to  swarm my stomach like a bad flu bug.
"Yes" I turned my gaze to the flattened grass below us, shaped as footprints as I followed the strange man once more.
I did not talk this time. His anger was rising, I didn't want to figure out what happens when he blows up. So until the timing is correct and I'm free to speak, I will remain silent and wait.

Nightmares pov

Was I always this annoying and rude? My Gods how did Dream ever care for me when I acted like such a spoiled brat.
Heh, his patience will always win over mine, That's one thing I know for certain.

I can't tell if I'm loosing patience or sympathy for Night. Every time he speaks or shouts a demand all I can wonder is how! How did anyone stay posit e around us!? How were we the favoured one.
Then I'm reminded. Our awful behaviour is what they lived for. Our disgusting actions made them scream with joy. It's their fault that we are in this mess.
We were young and had impressionable minds. Of course some kind of horrific event would occur!

Forcing myself to stop, I took a breath and allowed myself to break free of my thoughts. I pretended to know where we were as I checked our placement on the hills.
This was where locating Dream was going to become difficult.
There was multiple separate hills that needed to be checked, but time is of the essence and we are already running low on it.
"We need to split up. Use magic if necessary to find him." Soon leaving towards the left hills, I began my search.

Hello everyone! I have finally remembered that this fanfic exists!
I apologize for such a long wait. I literal have no excuse for why it's so late, I forgot it existed haha, but I hope you enjoy this short chapter!
These chapters are definitely going to be spaced out as the school year is now starting back up.
I hope you all have a wonderful day/night!
