Reincarnated as Dream with Differences

♥ Chapter 18 - Worst Nightmare ♥

I didn't expect this while I traveled from AU/AT to AU/AT. The AU/AT I was on had started to fall apart from some reason. It started normal at first before I spotted glitches, a bit similar to Error but I felt that the windows vista wasn't the cause this time.

It was only such a sunny day and this world corrupted quick, from the Ruins to Snowdin. The AU was a copy of Candytale, rest in peace all of the candies. Plus, this AU was on the surface already.

"Dream? What are you doing here in this copy?" Asked Ink from behind me, it didn't make me flinch even a little bit. "No time to explain if this AU is corrupting! Fast too! Let's get out of here!" I shouted, trying to create a portal and failed.

Ink took out his large paintbrush and painted the ground to make an Ink puddle for the both of us to enter. The corruption was just about to reach us when we jumped in, Ink closed the portal right when I entered. I looked around to find we were not in our base, I sighed and glared at Ink.

"Look- I only thought of a random place, okay? I was freaking out and I just thought of anything but that AU!" Ink explained, I would have done the same thing if I was him. I looked around to see we were possibly in the void because everything was black in here.

"Huh? D-....ea-...again?" I heard Ink mumble, looking around and I could sense relief. Probably because the place wasn't white, I kinda eavesdrop on his conversation by himself and his paintbrush that he calls Broomie.

"Ink, can you bring us back to base?" I asked, turning around to spot nobody. "Ink?? Where did you go?" I sensed sadness, a lot and it was absolutely killing me. "Did you abandon me?" I looked around but heard sobbing below me, I spotted Ink but he was in some sort of fetal position.

"I- uhm- how do I calm others again? Wait, I do this almost everytime.." I mentally facepalmed myself before bowing on my knees to reach Ink and rubbed his back. "Shhh, calm down.. I'm uhh-... Still here."

It took sometime like always because everything goes too fast for someone. "I don't know what I'm talking about anymore-" I thought, releasing my positive aura to comfort him and it made him smile.

He looked around, confused and scratched the back of his skull. I stopped rubbing his back when he looked like he wanted to stand up. "Wait, where are we?" Ink question, having forgotten it because of his small panic.

I sighed, wanting to actually facepalm myself this time. "have you forgotten Ink? Yes, ofcourse you did. Forgetful numbskull. You brought us here with your portal.. I'm too tired because I've used up all my energy to create a single portal." I answered.

There was a long silence between the both of us, Ink's eyes emotionless like always when he doesn't drink his vials. I sighed, pointing at his vials of paint. "Drink your vials." I reminded, he took out most of his paint except the red one.

I could feel little to no emotions but there were some dominant ones such as anger, which was mostly killing me while I sat on the floor of nothing. "Ink, your hurting me with your emotions.. Please, stop that." I stated. "Don't take your anger on whatever. Just look at me." He obeyed and saw my yellow eyes shine even without any sun in sight.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Ink apologized, trying to become positive once again. "Heh, what happened?" He tried to push on what happened earlier.

"Well, you just saved me from an AU that was about to collapse, so thank you." I thanked Ink, he blushed.

"Your not used to being thanked, aren't you?" I stated, Ink nodded and blushed a rainbow in embarrassment.

"It really is just the life of us. ." I said, Ink looked a bit sad. "But it's fine, the balance is fine, so am I."

I stood up from the floor or atleast what I thought was the floor. "Can you teleport us out of here?"

"Yeah, I think I can, hold on." Ink replied, trying to make an Ink puddle as if it was their first time.

Ink waved his hands in the air like a madman. "Ink? Your suppose to use your brush, not your hands." I stated.

"Oh-" He pauses, taking out his brush from his back and brushed the floor underneath me.

I fell into the portal, Ink followed me. I looked around me, we were back at the base.

"Finally." I mumbled, standing up and dusting the dirt of my white clothes. "I'll call Blue."

Entering the house with Ink behind me, he sat down on the sofa and waited for me to come back.
