Opposite Blue

Chapter 95 - Silent Rage

Outer's View:
* Kitchen renovations? Eh no worries, I'm not feeling very well today anyways...

* Aww I'm sorry to hear that. Fortunately your room is on the highest floor so it'll be peaceful and you won't hear the construction. Just call one of us if there's something wrong okay?

Ink nodded and I left him in his room. The ground floor had been decorated for the party; me and the other Good Sanses had planned this out thoroughly well. Cross was very happy and everyone else was ready.

There was a knock on the door.

Cross went to open the door and we turned off the lights and hid. We heard a bit of chatting before Cross led his father and a girl to the living room. He switched on the lights and we all yelled:

* Happy birthday Gaster!

And the music started playing.

* Wow, I can't believe you guys did this, I'm grateful.

If it was my choice, he'd be beaten up to the brink by now. But we had to stay calm and clueless. The party was running smoothly and that calmed me down a little. I went to get food and sat down with Blue and Nightmare.

Did you tell Night?

No...? Was I supposed to?

No no, thanks for not telling him.

We smiled and Nightmare joined it.

* You guys did an awesome job.

* Aww thanks babe!

Blue gave Nightmare a hug. Killer came up to us and sat down besides me.

* Attention everyone please!

We all looked at Cross.

* Thank you for being here today guys. Today is my father's birthday and I'm so glad that he and I could fix our relationship.

All the adults received a glass of wine.

* Cheers to my father!

We all cheered before drinking our glasses.

Five minutes later...
8pm

Ink's View:
I got out of bed and went to the pantry next to my room. I took out sweet and salty snacks like Pringles, chocolate cupcakes and cold icy apple juice before returning back to my room.

"Excited to start your third trimester..~?"

I quickly looked at the window seat and saw her. I turned around to go out of the room when it suddenly shut and locked.

* You didn't tell them anything did you? We would've known.

* Why would I tell them...every time I've tried to you've removed their memory of it.

I sat down on my bed and Gaster smirked. Bete teleported next to me and I felt magic cast upon me.

* You guys have broken your promise too. You said I would be left alone until my baby was born, but all you've done is bothered me. That doesn't seem fair.

"Get over yourself. You should be grateful we do these tests now, it would be much worse if we did them in three or four months time." Bete spawned in her scythe.

* We could speed up the waiting time if that'll make you happy.

Oh no.

Amelia's View:
Everyone had their drink and within a few minutes everyone seemed....overly happy. I wasn't much of a drinker to I just cheered before putting my drink down. I laughed as Dream bursted into giggling.

Was everyone high or something?

Wine made people more bubbly sure but...this was pure highness.

I was taking a few cookies when I felt something very wrong.

"Ellie can you feel that?"

She walked into me, high as a kite.

"Hm? Whaaaat? Ah- where's Horror? I gotta tell 'em something..."

"Are you high Ellie?!"

"Heh *hic* aren't we all? This is a party after all!" She walked off.

Yeah it was a party.
But where was the birthday boy.

I felt it again.

"Ink?"

I ran and started going upstairs. I got to the top floor and knocked on Ink's door.

"Ink? Ink I'm opening the door."

I opened the door and saw Ink playing card games with Gaster and-

"Bete Noire?!"

"The one and only."

But she wasn't my Bete Noire.
Still a red flag though.

"Are you okay Ink?"

He nodded.

* Gaster seems to know how to beat me everyday when we play UNO...

* I can't help it, I've played the game way too many times!

I sat next to Ink and decided to 'watch' the game. They acted like everything was normal...but it was obvious something was off.

"So, Gaster...I saw your research on behavioural magic, it was quite fascinating."

He nodded, thanking me for the compliment.

"If we applied that theory on Ink, I wonder what would happen...since he's emotionless without his vials y'know." I spoke, picking up an UNO reverse card.

He looked up at me.

Bete was behind me.

"What a weird scenario you've come up with." He replied.

"It would make sense for you to do that since as of this moment, Ink's under your magical influence."

Before Bete could use her scythe, I stopped time. I unfroze Ink and undid Gaster's magic.

"Ink you need to tell me what's going on."

He looked at me in fear.

"I can help you, I promise..."

* No...you can't.

"Does it have something to do with Gaster and Bete?"

He shook his head no.

Ink's View:
It didn't matter anymore. I could tell the whole world and they wouldn't remember.

"Tell me Ink, you'll be safe here I promise...Gaster was controlling you when I entered the room. They won't know I even stopped time, their minds have stopped too."

I tried not to cry but it was too hard. I couldn't see Geno get hurt again and there was no guarantee they wouldn't erase Amelia's mind next.

* I can't...

"You can Ink, I promise you can.."

* No Amelia, please don't talk...I just need quiet, peace of mind, relief. I'm doing this to protect my children, my husband, everyone. You won't remember any of this in a few minutes and it's all my fault. I deserve all of this, I'll never forgive myself for the way I treated everyone else in the past. So carelessly, recklessly, I don't know what to do anymore. Just resume time, please...

I wiped my tears and looked down.

"Ink I can help y-"

A bright flash came before my eyes and everything was normal.

Her memory was erased.

Of course it was...

Why did I say yes....
