A Lost Soul (Nightberry)

Chap 1: I Need a Closer Look..

No one's Pov:

   "UGHHHH." Yelling is heard throughout the messy void with papers everywhere. "WE let them get away, AGAIN." A skeleton with a huge paintbrush and large scarf is seen yelling as he waves his brush around getting paint everywhere in frustration. "Ink, we had no choice but to retreat! Do you not see how much pain Dream was in!? Do you not care!?" A skeleton with a blue scarf yells while bandaging another skeleton with a yellow crown and cape. "Excuse me!? I'm the one who does most of the fucking work! Your just a useless monster from an AU who isn't worth shit. Dream has his own problems! WE ALL do!" The skeleton who is named Ink walks closer to Swap and grabs his bandana roughly, pulling him closer to him. "STOP it now Ink!" The weak skeleton pushes Ink away. "You have no right to say that! All you do is fight Error and mess around not bothering to help!" He steps in front of Swap. Ink stops and glares at Dream, his eye pupils form into an exclamation mark. "You better stop, or I'll break another rib of yours.. you're lucky I haven't broke off ur hand yet." Dream is shocked and stepped away. Ink then stomps away going into a portal. Swap is also shocked as he helps Dream sit down. "I-I'm so sorry, Dream.." Dream sighs and takes a deep breath, "It's fine, Blue. Ink just needs some time to himself. How about we all get some rest?" Blue nods his head in agreement and makes sure Dream falls asleep comfortably and then goes to his own little room. "I have to figure out something.." He pulls out some paper and starts writing a map and plans while he puts his sword away.

No One's Pov:

"THUD!!" Plates, pillows, glass, crash everywhere while the 4 skeletons fight each other in a big room with a punching bad, weapons, and torturing equipment hung up or scattered everywhere. "You really know how to be such a fool just like your deceased brother, DUST." A skeleton with eyes that are pitched black and black goo drips from them. He flips his knife and catches it easily while staring at another skeleton with a hoodie and red scarf with mismatching colored eyes. "And you really know how to annoy people with your smart ass mouth, KILLER." They look about ready to kill each other as Killer is seen wiping blood off of his knife and the other dusting off monster dust from his hoodie. A skeleton with a hole on the right side of the right on his head chews on a bone. "How about you both shut the fuck up." He snarls. The two others look at him and then look at each other. Before anything else could happen, the door opens as a skeleton emerges from the shadows with an appearance of black goo all over him, wraps his tendrils around all of them, slamming them to the wall. "SHUT up, you idiots! You all act like children! It's truly annoying.." He growls and throw them to the floor. "We need to find out about that new member. It seems he's familiar.." Dust sharpens his bone while talking, "I think I know a little about him, I saw him with them before.. he seems weak. Why do you even care? Nightmare -" Nightmare glares at Dust. "DO not question me, or I will kill you." He says without hesitation, and the others look at the two, not wanting to say anything else so they don't get Nightmare anymore angrier than he is. "Yes, sir.." Dust replies with a hint of nervousness in his voice. "I want to know more about him, yall will be sent on a mission to spy on him. If you fail to do so, well, I will just destroy yall and simply kill you all. They all nod their head in agreement. "Now, GO." They quickly run into a portal.

Blue's Pov:

  "Shit.." I open my eyes, darkness fades away, and I look around and remember the papers and such. I get up, put on my long sleeve shirt with some armor, blue bandana, belt, baggy pants, and boots. I put my sword around my waist with a knife just in case. I look into the mirror and see the scars on my face from long ago. I take a deep breath before going back to my desk and gathering all of the papers, putting them in order, and then walking downstairs. "Hey, paps, sorry for not talking much yesterday. I had plans." I tell my brother who is lying on the couch as usual. "Don't worry lil bro, it's alright, I guess I'll see you later then?" I watch as my brother takes a sip from his honey. "Yeah, but first, I'll warm up some breakfast for you." I go and warm up something for him to eat while wondering what's going on with Ink and Dream now. "Oh, and I got you that movie collection you wanted, so when u come back, we could watch it together." My eyes turn into little stars, then turn back normal. "Of course, papy." I give him his breakfast and a goodbye before leaving the house and going into a portal. I see Dream and Ink arguing as usual. They don't even notice me until Ink throws a glass bottle of ink at Dream, and he dodges it. To my luck, it hits me right in the eye, which slightly bleeds. I am shocked until a lot of pain swarms my head, and I pull out the glass from my eye, causing the blood to drip faster. Dream and Ink finally notice me, which leads to Dream running over and covering his mouth with his hands before yelling at ink to get the med kit. Ink quickly hands Dream the med kit and his bandages my only good eye. I sigh with pain and annoyance. "S-Swap.. I'm so sorry!" I look at Dream. "It's fine, but why are yall fighting anyways, I seriously just got back in the team like 3 days ago. What has been going on since then!?" Ink rolls his eyes. It seems he hasn't taken his paint yet. "Long story, too little time. I'll explain later, but for now, where are the plans!?" Then here we go again, like old times, ignoring the fact I just had a glass bottle hit me in the eye. I sighed and handed him the papers I worked on for nearly the whole night. "Good, you're finally useful. Thankfully, it's not like before. I'm glad u actually started to train more." Ink crosses his eyes and says to me. I don't give a shit about what Ink says, I worked hard all the time to where I passed out, but now the training actually paid off and I'm regaining magic, I really hope Nightmare and his gang don't remember me. Especially Error. "Ink, stop it!" Dream days as he looks through the plans. Ink finally takes his paint, giving his emotions back. "Oh, hey, Swap almost didn't notice you there! What happened to your eye?" I shrug it off as well as Dream. He usually forgets then remembers later. They look over the plans, "This is good, but we need more. Swap, please make more tonight." Dream says while handing the plans back to me. "Alright." That's all I say before walking away and going to a room for training. I begin to train with the huge headache.

  Horror's Pov:

  I stay in the shadows along with Killer and Dust. We watch the small skeleton with a blue scarf walk from his AU going into the portal that we sneak into. We continue to stay in the shadows. "I also think I remember him.." Killer says in a silent tone. Dust nods his head. "TO be honest, I also sorta remember hi-" I was cut off by a glass bottle breaking, I look at Ink and Dream arguing and see the skeleton with a blue scarf get hit in the face, a big peice of glass shard slams into his eye, ouch! "Damn, I'd expect him to yell or scream in pain right now." I say, watching as he pulls it out. "Same, the hell is wrong with this dude!?" Dust says. We see him pull out some papers handing them to them, and Ink seems to be being a bitch until he takes the vials. They hand it back to this weird ass skeleton. And he walks into another room, and we don't follow him yet. Instead, we listen to what Ink blurts out. "Dream, Swap has changed a lot! He really got stronger..atleast he isn't useless like before." Dream sighs. "I agree it's nice to have him back." They continue to talk before goofing around like some stupid ass children. We all have widened eyes as we remember Swap. "NO fucking way that's Blue.." I say in a little bit of excitement. "Well, this is interesting, isn't it.." Killer says with a huge ass grin on his ugly ass face. Dust only smiles like the psychopath he is, although I can't be talking. "I should've known with that blue scarf of his." We now follow Blue I a room that seems to be for training. "He really has changed from a weak little shit to something actually worth fighting." Dust says with interest. "Yeah, it's almost shocking.. I wonder how it feels to break his bones now.." I glare at Killer, "SHUT the hell up before I tell Nightmare about your sneak offs to AUs he hasn't requested u to kill of yet." Killer frowns and stays silent. Can't wait to tell the boss this..

  Nightmares Pov:

  I sit at my desk and read a book as usual, I think about that skeleton. Who the hell could that be!? at least those filthy peasants do the work for me. For some reason, it makes me extremely annoyed to even think about this.. skeleton and the fact of it helping my worthless enemy. Why do I even care.. but that skeleton seems so familiar.. I take out my journal of the star sanses I haven't looked at for months, years, I don't fucking know and look through it with my glasses on. Thankfully, those dumb asses aren't here to distract me from their stupidity. I flip through pages until I come to a page with a titled, SWAP, I read through it. All of a sudden my door slams open and I look towards the door, to my surprise, actually I'm not that surprised, it's the 3 jackasses.

(Srry for misspelling and shit lmfao)
