Chase - Bad Guys (Bad Sanses) - part 3

The empty bedroom, as well as the other ones, was on the second floor, that means it was closer to the attic where Cross was hiding. This time he heard pretty much everything, except the whispers of course. And... not like he was as scared as Dust was, but still felt his fingers becoming colder and colder, hoping Night wouldn't find him.

Killer, by the way, heard everything too, but he was more happy to hear that than our monochromatic friend.

Which, to his terror, heard distant footsteps.

- Heeey, Crossy~ - called the voice. - Where could you be?

Cross remained silent. Nightmare, knowing where he was pretty damn well, walked around the attic door.

- Come out, I will not hurt you~

"No fricking way I'm coming out!"

- You should know by now that I mean no harm, - the voice, to his surprise, started to get quieter, as if Night was walking away. - Why are you hiding?

"I'm not repeating their fate..."

The Guardian's footsteps became quieter as well, before absolutely disappearing. Cross desided to get away before Nightmare came back. He quietly crawled from under the old bed, stood up and right before leaving he noticed something black in the corner, and decided to give it a glimpse.

- Where do you think you're going? - said the shadow with a glowing turquoise eye.

Cross froze, but quickly his mind returned back to him.

- Oh h-hey b-boss, I uhh... I was just... I... - he started to back off, sweating nervously. - Welp, sorry boss, gotta go!

He took off and left the room in a second.

- Oh you're not!

Big tentacles rose from the floor and blocked the only way. Cross bumped into them and stopped from the shock.

- What?~ Met your DEAD end? - Night slowly made his way to the former guard. The tentacles grabbed him by arms and legs and placed him in the air in the "X" position.

- L-let me go! - he tried to escape.

- Well, well, well... What do we have here? Cross in a shape of a cross? Hehe. But it won't help you get away.

- I'm not ticklish anyway, it's just a waste of time!

- Since when did you start to worry about my time?

- S-since I became part of your team?

- Wow, really? I never noticed.

- A-anyway! I told you I'm not ticklish!

Nightmare sighed.

- Crossy, Crossy, Crossy. How many times do I have to tell you. I am the Guardian of Negativity. I sense all your emotions, including fear.

Cross began to smile nervously.

- W-well, m-maybe I am afraid of your creepy face!

- And I wouldn't be a leader of the group of deadly assassins if I was bad at telling when one of you is lying.

The trapped skeleton swallowed.

- And if, theoretically, your words were true, why would you run away?

- F-fair enough...

Nightmare placed a hand on Cross' ribcage.

- I can sense you are panicking right now... - he smiled. - Maybe, it was a bad idea to lie to me after all the jokes you guys made?
