Gosh This is HORROR-ble (Reincarnated as Horrortale Sans)

35: I Feel The Oozing, Creeping, Throbbing Eggs All Shifting Inside Me

(cw for the chapter, worms, eggs in the body, not being able to move, teeny tiny thoughts of death, just a tad tho)

you jolt up, you are still under the coat of mould, the wriggling of worms making you realize youre still in the horrible nightmare,

you struggle, but no matter how hard you try to get up, to get out, you cant. dull panic washes over you, can you even die here? youre in a dream or something... you hope you can die...

anything is better than siting in a pool of worms, no spot on your body left untouched by them, goo coats your bones as you close your eyes tightly,

the worms wriggle out from under the moldy fur overtop of you, traveling to your skull, they travel up where your cheeks should have been if you were human.

you sit there, unable to do anything, you are in so much pain. the pulsating eggs in your joints ooze thick purple goo

the worms reach your eye sockets, the fall into your skull, you get a horrible headache just wanting to get out of here,

your ears ring as a wet noise resounds around the forest. a sharp breath reverberates around in your skull, before you feel a hand on your forehead, and a voice, a soothing voice, a calm voice.

and you wake up

///

your ears ring and your body aches, you instantly get bombarded with voices, all of them overlapping until Nightmare shuts them up.

you blink, disoriented, you... dont have worms all over you, thank god the wriggling is over, your moment of peace only lasts for a moment, before you attempt to move, and you dont get anywhere, your joints ache and throb with the little movement you were able to force

you sit there, staring down at your hands, you think about your... dream... was it really a dream though?

you shake the thoughts out of your head, of course it was a dream. the worms are gone, so the voice wasnt real.

the gentle voice of Jay brings you back to what you hope is reality.

"Leef... are you alright? what... what happened"

you dont move, its not like you can anyways... if this voice in your head is apparently this.. worm... guy... then whose to say Jay isnt trying to get you to say yes to the deal too?

Jay- the real Jay is dead. you saw xem die, you saw xeir dust, xeir dust is in a vial around your neck. this hallucination is not Jay

this voice in your head is just the worm guy... you need to get this guy a name... you cant just keep referring to him as "Worm guy"

you push that unhelpful thought away for a moment to realize that Nightmare is pushing everyone out of the room, once he manages to do so, with many protests, mostly from Classic, he turns to you, waiting for you to begin speaking.

"i... wha.. t happened?"

"you used your magic to teleport away from Ink and Dream. i was under the impression you could not use magic. then you went and started attacking anyone who came near you that wasnt me, Killer, or Dust"

stare at you hands, youre sure if you look up youll get that disappointed look you dread, even if you cannot hear it in his voice.

"i... thought i could...nt use magic either..." you think back on your little... moment, albeit with some struggle,

you remember Cross talking to you about magic reserves one time at the castle, when they depleted for him he struggled to light his eyes.

is that why you fainted? you used up all of your magic? but you thought you couldnt do magic period?

"Leef."

you jolt up at the sound of your chosen name

"huh?"

"what happened? i only got a sample of the story. what happened with Ink and Dream? and in your mind? i cannot help defend you from these people if i do not know the story."

"...Dream touched m...e, and i was already set o...ff cus of Ink and Blue interrupting me... in my... dream-"

you really hate to call it a dream it was a horrible, horrible nightmare

"- i..." you need to tell him. you need to tell him about your past life, you cant explain why you were on the surface without telling him him the whole story

"i was in my pa..st life. when i was on the s...urface." if Nightmare was surprised he showing no indication of it to you. you dont plan on telling him you were a human unless he directly asks you, you continue your story.

"it was normal at fir..st, then it wasnt, i was looking l..ike a do now, and a voice s..poke to me" Nightmare keeps his face blank as you continue

"... like... worms layed eggs in me... and the voice to..ld me to let them hatch. to l..et them infest this world like... my old one so that ev...eryone here could.. get out."

you are mumbling, trying not to face your problems, but you never learnt how to deal with them other than running away. but you just cannot deal with it, you dont know what to do. you dont know what you can do without making someone hate you in the process

you just dont know what to do. you sit there, staring at your boney hands until Nightmare speaks up.

"i see. and what did you decide?"

you sniffle "i dont want to h..urt this world. to... hurt more hum..ans."

"good on you for sticking with your morals. we will find a way out of here that doesn't require people here to get hurt."

you give a watery smile at the praise, feeling comforted by the words Nightmare speaks to you. youll figure stuff out, but for now, youll just roll with it.
