A Destructive Family-Sequel to Errormare Story

Chapter 35: Surprises at Home

Error's POV a week later

I don't know who was happier about our return home from the honeymoon: Nighty or the gang. We got a warm welcome home but Killer, Cross, and Dream pulled me away to hear details on how the honeymoon went while Horror eagerly gave Nighty a complete report on what he did while in charge. Sure, he already gave me daily updates but he understood why I didn't share them and looked proud when telling it to Nighty's face. 

Killer does say that he is glad that we're back so he can go into the kitchen again. Horror wasn't taking chances and banned him from entering the kitchen, often locking him out of it. I notice Cross holding Dream's hand and the glances they keep giving each other.

"OkAy, s0m3tHiNg iS uP wItH yOu tWo. WhAT dId yOu tWo dO iN tHe wEeK aNd a hAlF tHaT wE wEr3 gOnE?"I ask

"We might've gone on a date..."Dream says, his face turning into a golden blushing mess

"And loved every second of it..."Cross says

"Those flowers work wonders, don't they?"Killer chuckles

"We were just trying things out and spending time together! One thing leads to another and...It was wonderful...Don't tell Brother. He will absolutely flip out."Dream says

I chuckle, knowing that he is right. I know I should be at least a little more surprised than I am but I literally went to the future and learned that they're married. So how surprised can I really be?

"OkAy, bUt g0oD lUcK hiDiNg iT. He cAn sEnSe y0uR eMot1oNs aNd tHiS iS hIs cAstLe."I say

They both sigh with relief, thanking me. Then they sneak off before Nighty catches them.

"Your cat has been busy as well."Killer chuckles 

Yeah, Perl stayed behind. The hotel wasn't pet-friendly and I doubt my cat would like hanging around just the two of us, basically being a third wheel. He never seemed to like it whenever Nighty and I got affectionate in front of him. Then again, sometimes in seemed like Nightmare's tentacles would seek attention specifically when Perl was getting it...So maybe that caused a rivalry? I dunno, I just know that he was happier staying behind.

That said, I'm curious about what he did in my absence. 

Killer motions for me to follow him, so I do. I find Perl curled up in my bed...but he isn't alone. There is another cat in the bed cuddling up to him and loudly purring. I notice how scarred the poor cat is, even having a scar that's keeping an eye closed. I walk over and sit on the bed beside them. The new cat quickly climbs over to me, purring on my lap. I notice a collar around its neck with the tag reading Misty in addition to details on where her home is.

"Horror found them outside yesterday as one of Perl's portals was closing. She seems to be from another AU but the moment we attempt to bring her home he gets hostile."Killer says

Just his mentioning of this makes Perl hiss at him and Misty cling to me tighter. Given her condition, I get the idea of how bad it is at her "home". I check her code for the AU, then open a small portal. Perl looks at me with begging eyes, cuddling up to Misty protectively. I send my strings through the portal and destroy the AU of that abusive home entirely, then shut the portal.

"I'Ll uPdAtE tHe c0lLaR lAtEr. DoN'T wOrRy m1sTy, you aRe sAf3 here."I say, seeing them both relax

Both of them snuggle into my lap, purring. Killer leaves me to care for the two cats that now trap me in the bed by lying across my lap and purring loudly. I try to heal Misty's wounds and check her condition. Then with another hand I start making my strings craft a soft little bed for her to curl up in, much like the one that Perl uses every once in a while. Then Nighty peeks in curiously.
