Hey so ik I put this in the description of the story and made an announcement but this is also on Ao3!! It's "Gosh This Is Horror-ble" by Foxonfire (aka me)

I just made an ao3 account to post it on another platform, so as of now ao3 and Wattpad are the ONLY two places you can read this (:

You slowly walk in the living room, after being left alone by Nightmare, Jay floating on after you. You think that you're.. being haunted? Or you're crazy and just imagining xem... you're probably crazy.

A glowing tv is in front of a navy blue couch playing some animal show... you don't know how to use their remote soooooo guess you're watching this now. "Awww I love kittens!!! They are so cute and fuzzy!!"

You plop down onto the couch, hearing some kittens mewling, you clutch the blue blanket you took from the house tightly. You look towards the screen, watching as someone.. holds a... white... dog..dog it's them all of them they killed Jay and now they're coming for you.

You can hear Jay screech loudly from beside you. You swing your bat at the screen, effectively turning off the horrid show in front of your face, a loud, satisfying, crunch goes through the mansion as you do so, but Jay stoped screaming.

You hide behind the couch quickly, not letting Dogeressa have the chance to
Get you. A glitchy voice calls from the room over.

"I swear to everything that you hold dear, Killer if you broke the coffee table again I will string you like a puppet" you flinch at the noise. Error needs to be quiet, or the dog squad will get him too.

Error pops his head through the door, eyelights widening as he sees your form, huddled behind the old couch and a broken tv sitting there.

The dark skeleton stands there, shuffling around as he tries to think of what to do to calm you down. His eyes get wide with an idea as he slowly walks towards your trembling form.

He takes some of his strings and lump them together in a vaguely hand like shape, patting your shoulder gently,

Error goes to say some reassuring words, not good with emotions. But you don't give him the chance to fumble with words, because you screech, feeling your shoulder getting torn apart from you body, and instinctually swing your head at his hand, attempting to cut him with your horns, but only succeeding in getting them caught in the strings.

you feel yourself get lifted into the air by the strings tangled on your head, Error just sighs muttering

"I swear, this is the last time I babysit for Nightmare" as your breathing slows down you actually realize that the dog on the tv screen was not real, and that you just attacked one of your new housemates.

You listen to Jay apologize for screaming like that. You very quietly tell Jay(?) that it's ok. You're still not sure if this... ghost? Is real or not. But you just don't care. you just want Jay back.

You stop talking to Jay when hear footsteps approach error and you, error having moved to the couch and seemingly started knitting or something. You hear as Dust enters the room from the left, muttering to phantom. You go to turn to actually see dust but the strings keep you from moving at all, guess you're not gonna be seeing him.

Dust just pauses, and stands there for a moment.

"Hey leef. So uhh I was going to ask something but it seems you're tied up at the moment." You sigh at the bad joke (internally giggling) you hear error scoff and go back to knitting.

"Hi dust, uh s..oooo how are you doing?" You say. You get no response, either he left, or he just gave a thumbs up or something, you didn't hear him leave so you'll choose to believe he's still here.

"You're uh.... You're gonna need to say ho..w you are because... yaknow... can't really see you." Error sighs and swings you around so you're facing dust.

"Ohhh hey dusty" you say smiling at the skeleton in front of you. He waves and says

"Yeah I'm uh. I'm doing good, so I wanted to ask-" before dust could get his question out you hear a portal pop up to your left, god damn, doesn't anyone approach from the right side in this house? you sigh and glance at dust, who mouths to you "nightmare" oh so it's the goopy guy himself, ok.

You feel as you get dropped from the strings you were in, and you turn to Nightmare. He glances at you, sighs, and gestures for you all to come with him.

You get lead to a big table full of foods of all kinds, your eyes are glued to the table, your hunger pains coming at you full force. You wince and almost double over, you simply grip your middle tightly. Jay whispers reassurances to you.

...you shouldn't take that much food, you don't want to be kicked out for taking their supplies like with papyrus. You sit down in between dust and killer. The two of them immediately start stuffing their faces, you sit there. And you sit there. And you sit there, in absolute agony as hunger pains tear through you.

It feels as if fire ants got into your bones and started bitting every inch of you they could find. Put simply, you hurt

Nightmare clears his throat, getting your attention, he points at the food laid out infront of you and you shake your head. Nightmare sighs, and reaches over the wood table to grab a bowl, he fills in up with some kind of soup, and hands it to you.

You look at the steaming bowl like it's the holy grail, and the others notice, it's not like you were hiding it. You glance at Nightmare, silently asking for permission to eat the soup. He nods at you.

You slowly scoop spoonful after spoonful of the salty soup into your mouth, savoring the flavor with every bite.

Even after everyone else is done eating, you sit there eating the chicken soup slowly, partly to not throw up, and the other part because you don't want it to end.

Even as the soup is cold and the table is abandoned aside from nightmare, you continue eating the heavenly liquid until the bowl is empty, and you're relatively satisfied it sure didn't compare to any human meat, and you're still hungry.

Huh. Jay isn't talking to you anymore... actually. You can't see xem anymore.. panic slices through you at that. It's just a ghost why do you care if it's not around?

Nightmare stares at you as you place the bowl onto the wooden table.

"I am going to need to ask you.. what happened in your au? You certainly do not need to answer me if you do not feel comfortable, but know that I won't tell any of the gang what you say"

You think for a moment, and take a deep breath.
