The art of persuasion

Reaper watched in horror as the life was zapped from Error's eye sockets, his one working eye light filling with sorrow, not again, he wasn't going to lose him again.
Reaper gritted his teeth as he flipped around and hit Cross down with the back end of his scythe, knocking the skeleton backwards towards a concrete wall, a loud crack could be heard as the knight passed out. Reaper ran towards Nightmare and the body of Error which the king held with a tentacle by the wrists, before they disappeared, Nightmare glaring at the god of death. That crooked smile could haunt anyone's dreams.
Nightmare had teleported, and Reaper had lost him, he had lost someone he cared about dearly again.
Reaper felt dark blue tears prick at his sockets as he fell to the ground on his knees, crying as he stared down at the bloody dust below him.
Even death himself couldn't bear to lose someone close to him.

Nightmare and Error landed on grass outside of the castle, Nightmare let Error slip off his tendril, falling to the ground. "I know you aren't dead, so don't even try to pretend." He spoke sternly as he looked down at the coughing skeleton below him.
Error sat up slightly, using his arm as a support. "Wow, thanks for the spotting the obvious." He said sarcastically, holding his hand to his chest as he sucked in a deep breathe, finding it painful. "What the hell was that for? I was kind of hoping to, ya know, not get teleported to outside the castle right after being stabbed?" His breaths came out in sharp spikes from the adrenaline leaving his system. "Actually, I would of preferred not being stabbed at all-!"
Nightmare rolled his one working eye light before looking at him with disappointment. "I could've easily killed you, but I didn't, do you want to know why, mister man child?" Nightmare walked closer to the skeleton, crouching down to him so they could see eye socket to eye socket. "Because I have a use for you." Nightmare said simply, a slight smile on his face as he looked at the angered skeleton below him.

Error sneered, "Like I would do anything for you." He spat out his words like venom as he narrowed his eye sockets.
Nightmare put his hands up defensively. "Oh really? Error, I have lived far longer than you have, I know everything that you don't." Nightmare laughed as he got up again to stand over him. "I know the truth about all your little friends, but if you want to go back to those liars, then be my guest." Nightmare said simply, turning around but keeping Error in his sight as he extended his words, making sure they stuck in the glitch's mind. "Let me remind you, you aren't in a state where you can run away either, that wound went through your ribs, it should be hard to even move at the moment."
"Stop talking in fricking riddles, and tell me what you're talking about-!" Error said, practically growling as he got to a shaky kneel. "Because let me tell you that I trust them a lot more than you do, and I swear to whatever gods exist, if you are rambling about your stupid brother again-"

Nightmare near burst out laughing at the mention of his brother. "Oh, Dream? He can't lie if it meant saving his life! He is too honest for his own good." Nightmare got out the last of his laughter as he turned back to Error.
"Now your other friends, they haven't told you much have they? That masked fellow, you don't even know where he comes from, you don't know his origins, you don't know his job. Does that say honest to you?" Nightmare said as he crouched down in front of Error.
"Oh boy, don't get me started on Ink." Nightmare commented before continuing. "I just want to remind you of something. That little freak can't feel, he could never care about you how you care about him." Nightmare said simply, his smile falling. "He is using you, Error, Face the facts. He wants you around his finger so he can do whatever he wants without you to stop him." Nightmare said in almost a whisper, slow enough so each word could sink in.
Nightmare felt the need to use one of his abilities, it was his aura, anyone around him would get negative emotions more than positive ones, this proved useful in persuading people through this manner.
"They are using you, Error."
