-The Vigilante in the Castle- Undertale Aus Fanfic

6. Uncomfortable Situations

The tension among Nightmare's gang persisted even after his stern intervention. Frustration lingered like a toxic cloud, threatening to tear apart the fragile unity they had once shared. The disagreement that had initially sparked the argument now seemed trivial in comparison to the underlying conflicts festering within the group.

As tempers flared and voices rose once again, Nightmare's patience wore thin. He watched the second argument unfold, his anger rising in parallel. The dissonance among his members struck a nerve, reminding him of his own inability to keep their discord in check.

In the midst of the escalating chaos, Vigilante found herself overwhelmed. The yelling and hostility triggered painful memories from her past, wounds she had hoped to leave behind. Unable to bear the cacophony any longer, she made a swift decision—to remove herself from the volatile situation.

Silently slipping away, Vigilante vanished into the shadows, her absence going unnoticed amidst the turmoil. It wasn't until the argument had subsided, leaving a heavy silence in its wake, that the gang realized she was gone.

Nightmare's frustration deepened as he realized the unintended consequences of their heated exchanges. The loss of Vigilante, even temporarily, struck him as a failure of leadership. He turned his cold gaze toward Error, blaming him for the second argument and the subsequent departure of Vigilante.

"Error," Nightmare's voice was cold and commanding, "you will go and find Vigilante. It was your actions that sparked this second argument. You must take responsibility for your role in driving her away."

Error's expression fell, guilt gnawing at him. He knew he had played a part in the turmoil that had driven Vigilante to leave, but being forced to confront it only intensified his remorse. With a nod, he accepted Nightmare's command and set out to find Vigilante.

Nightmare watched as Error departed, his gaze filled with a mixture of disappointment and frustration. He knew that their gang couldn't afford such internal conflicts, especially with the looming threats they faced. It was crucial to mend the fractures, to restore their unity and confront the demons that plagued them.

Nightmare's command pierced through the heavy atmosphere, landing squarely on Error's shoulders. He felt a surge of annoyance rise within him, resenting the blame placed solely on his shoulders. However, despite his frustration, Error knew better than to defy Nightmare's orders. Nightmare was their leader, and his authority demanded obedience.

With a heavy sigh and a roll of his eye sockets, Error reluctantly acquiesced. He knew that challenging Nightmare's decision would only escalate the situation further, something they couldn't afford at the moment. Swallowing his annoyance, he set out on his task to find Vigilante.

As Error ventured into the dense forest surrounding Nightmare's castle, the atmosphere grew increasingly eerie. Twisted trees and twisted thoughts seemed to whisper in the shadows, their presence a stark reminder of the mistake that had brought them to this strange multiverse.

The air was heavy with a sense of foreboding, amplifying Error's irritation. He trudged through the overgrown foliage, his steps purposeful yet laden with frustration. The forest seemed to stretch endlessly, its dense canopy casting an oppressive darkness.

Error's mind raced, a mixture of annoyance, concern, and a tinge of unease. He couldn't shake off the feeling that this search for Vigilante was not only about fulfilling Nightmare's command but also about finding answers within themselves. Perhaps, in the midst of this unfamiliar forest, they would uncover hidden truths that could bring about change.

The forest whispered with the echoes of past stories, a haunting reminder of the Creepypasta multiverse they found themselves adjacent to. Error couldn't help but feel a strange connection to this twisted realm, a reflection of the fractures within their own gang.
