The god that fell

Opening the past

Error's pov
i see the human-sorry, Sahara, typing fast on a device.
"WhO aRe yOU taLKinG tO?"
She looks up,"oh, my friend, her names Jayelyn, she helped me figure out a bit about you, and by the way, you talk in your sleep, which more sounded like horrific nightmare's i'm scared to ask about. I'm telling her your awake. Wanna see?"
I shake my skull, dust lightly falling.
"How do you Still have dust falling?" I burst into a chuckle.
"I wOulD bReAk yOuR dEvICe"
Sahara's pov
Hey sahara, think i can stay the night? I'm sorry i've been quiet.
I text back,"of course. Let me tell mom."
of course sis, let me tell mom
I get up, standing on the matress, but with a wrong movement, i tap error's left leg, and he flinches, glitching badly, and i look back, waiting for him to relax.
Me"you ok?"
Error chuckles,"i DoN't lIke TOucHiNg."
"I can see that!" I say with a chuckle as i step out of the room and down the hallway.
"Hey mom, we're gonna have Jay coming"
"Ok, do i have to pick her up?"
"What do you think that answer is?"
"Ok, i'm on it, i'll keep them from trying to make it impossible." I nod.
Later that day, mom drives off to Jay's house. I decide to go talk to the skeletal guest and see what we could figure out for space for him to rest in.
"Crap" i say, alerting the skeleton, and he perks up.
"WHaT's WrOng?"
"It's Jay, i think her dad did something, again."
"WhAt DoeS he dO?"
"I'll let her explain. It's not my place. But honestly, her dad is someone I feel like punching."
Error looks to the side, and nods,"ok, maYbe i cAn HelP" as he carefully stands, ducking to fit under my 6 foot high celing.
I hear Jay come in and i pull to the back room to let him through.
As he comes out, a dozen sorry's follow, causing me to giggle at Error's expense, and i mutter,"oh this is funnier then i thought it would be." Earning me a look that caused me to shiver, ok, don't tease the skeleton.
"So there he is, didn't realize he was that tall sheesh. He makes you look puny"
I chuckle as i hear him sigh, sensing a cuss i step through the hallway,
He looks over Jay, a sigh coming from him.
"ThaT haLLwAy is S-" i smack his ribs enough to get him to stop the cuss.
"But i do agree big guy. I might let you teleport around that."
He nods in relief as he sits down beside Jay. He summons his strings, before sewing them into something i can't fully see, but from Jay's eyes, i could figure it out.
"Your hurt. He do that?"
She adjusts so her neck is covered. Did he seriously chokehold my sister?
I feel my anger pulse, but i take a breath, deciding to let her know that she can talk to him.
"Go ahead and tell him, mom and i learned the hard way. He sees all, and can help. After, who the heck would believe that this monster would come and spook someone into well, i think you can guess." Error chuckles,"yOu'Re aGAiNsT CuRsinG soMeThiNg fIErce."
I shrug,"it's words of anger, i'd rather make my anger funny." Jay says, fear in her tone." its true they all do it. Sometimes I do too, kinda got that habit. But....yes this mark on my neck was from a few days ago....I was up late doing chores since I was grounded anyway he was already mad because his argument with my mom and decided to take it out on me since my mom was having a late night shift at work. Started commenting on how I wasn't doing the chores his way and when I tried to do it better he got even more mad and started bullying me and pushed me out of the way harshly and said I'm useless to him but when I decided to finally stand up to him he took it as a threat and started poking me in the chest asking if I wanna fight him since I'm talking back"
My anger was rising, i force myself to remain calm as error's heterchromatic gaze locks with mine, filled with a familiar pain. I can feel his aura as it wraps the room.
"Isn'T pHysIcAl HarM aGAiNsT thE rUlEs here?" I nod,"heavily, esspecially if it's family."
Her story wasn't done.
"And when I told him to back off he's scaring me he put me in a choke hold and to never disrespect him again....I was so scared when he did that the one man I was supposed to trust ends up hurting me. I was so frozen in shock and fear as I tried to get away telling him he's hurting me."

I watch Error summon his strings again, this time, weaving them into an enchanted choker and says "tHiS wIlL sPeeD thE HEalIng. BuT i ThinK sOmeOnE sHouLd gET A PictuRe of tHe wound."
I tilt my head curiously, he knew how to heal? I'd have to ask him to teach me if i could learn.
I nod to my mom and i gently move Jay's hand and mom takes a photo of the bruises and i sit down next to her.
"MaY I?" Error asks in a simple voice, holding up the choker, and she nods and he carefully puts it on her, flinching anytime he touches her, and once he's done, he pulls away as the choker turns lovely shades of orange.
"You ok?" Jay asks as she felt the light flinching.
"YeS i'M fInE, JuSt doN'T LIkE tOuChIng."
I pip in,"i'm sure he has a fear of touch, and considering his state, i don't blame him, i caused him to glitch out pretty badly earlier."
"How bad?" Jay asks. "eh- he was nearly covered in those error signs around him, it took him a sec to recoup. That's why i said i'm sure over i think." I reply.
"Ah ok, i see now."
I nod and my mom says,"he really hates loud noises, and he breaks devices just by being close." I chuckle at the second one,"yeah, he broke an AI speaker by being a couple feet from it."
Error shrugs, a chuckle arising.
"I waRNeD tHeM i MiGHt."
Jay smirks before looking at him and saying,"I'm gonna have to keep my stuff away haha."
I chuckle, this was gonna be ok, with time.
