The sweet lilac behind the cold cyan

Chapter 2

Killer took him all around of what looked like a castle from a fairy tale book that Dream brought to him. It was amazing! They stopped when they reached a room with what he thought the villagers called a couch. He will have to ask Killer the names of the different pieces of furniture here because he didn't know any of them, after all, he lived in a tree, not a house.

Killer took out his cell phone to call back the other and look at Nightmare without understanding the odd look he was receiving from the guardian. He was looking at him like a was some kind of alien or something.

"What is that?" Asked the guardian looking at the cell phone in Killer's hand. It was on and he could see his wallpaper, a kitten with blood on his paws saying "The purrfect crime".

"You mean my cellphone? It's for calling the others home. Boss, you know what a cell phone is right?"

Seeing the reaction he got Killer began to reconsider how old Nightmare's AU was. Cell phones were basics for him and the others, even if he didn't like them the old Nightmare knew how to use one.

"It's fine we'll explain everything about technology later! Just wait to see the kitchen I bet you'll love it or at least find it weird" Chuckled Killer thinking how the dark skeleton will react.

He called Dust first since he was the oldest after him it would be him who led the mission since he wasn't with them. The other didn't answer really quickly but it was fine they had time, Nightmare's reaction was priceless when he heard noise from the phone.

"Hey Dusty bunny! Did you miss me?"

"Hardly. And don't call me that!! What do you want? Unlike some people I'm busy." Answered a soft but menacing voice, Killer had no idea how Dust could do both.

"Ouch, I'm hurt Dusty. How could you do this to me when I'm yearning for your presence?"

"Yeah, I wonder how. So what do you want? It better be important"

Nightmare was nervously playing with one of his tentacles. He looked at Killer a little scared. Was that man Dusty really trustable?

"There is something wrong with Nightmare and we need everyone home"

"On the way." Said Dust before he hung up leaving Killer and Nightmare alone again.

Killer turned to Nightmare with a smile on his face, the others were coming back. Cross should be able to make another portal to the castle. Except for Nightmare, the little oreo was the only one that was able to travel in the multiverse on his own. Killer was a little jealous of that.
The guardian looked a little down, Killer didn't really understand why but he wanted him to be happy, not sad or scared. Dust would feel bad if he thought that he had scared their king.

"Hey, maybe you could help me to answer a question that I have been asking myself for months!"

He ran away from the leaving room for a minute before coming back breathless with a golden crown in his hand. Nightmare looked at him with a star in his eye almost like Blueberry when he was excited.

"You find it! Killer, you find it! Oh, thank you! I was scared that it was lost since it wasn't in the first room when I woke up." Exclaimed Nightmare taking back his crown to put it on his head, he missed the precious item, it was like he didn't see it for years while it was only a few hours in his memory. What a weird sensation.

"So it was yours I wasn't mistaken! Welp, You can have it back but if the old boss comes back don't tell okay? I'd like to keep my head you know?"

"Was I so evil for you to look that scared of me? I-I'm sorry Killer... Did I hurt you in the past?" Asked Nightmare with tears in the corner of his socket.
