Freedom | Killer x Female!Reader

Y/N POV

~~~~~~~~

We're a lot closer to getting out of here. Slash just needs to figure out how thick the barrier is, then he needs to steal a car and get us out so we can save the Multiverse.

I mean, I guess there's no 'we' in the whole 'saving the Multiverse' thing, since I'm not one of them, and I'd probably mess something up anyway, but maybe I can just be there for... Emotional support or something? Or maybe Nightmare will find a use for me and I won't have to leave them.

Killer doesn't like the idea of possibly abandoning me, though I know it's just because he wouldn't have anyone else to flirt with. It makes me a little sad that that's all he cares about, but oh well.

I think the guards are slightly terrified of me now, too. Either terrified or disgusted, anyway. Whenever they come in to take any of us, they give me weird looks, and when they take me, it's like they don't want to touch me because they think I have a weird disease or something. I think it's because I accidentally drew Killer doing something suggestive in my notebook, and they found that. Oops. At least they don't go through my notebook anymore. But now everyone's making fun of me for that. And Killer will not let it go. He's been flirting with me more than usual, and he's been acting very... Seductive, which is driving Nightmare insane.

The guards fling the door open and roughly shove Killer inside. Nightmare- caught off guard by their sudden arrival- doesn't have time to put the shackles back on, but it doesn't seem like they noticed. They slam the door shut, and I'm about to crawl back over to Killer when they open the door again. We all freeze in our places as Shattered walks in, his hands behind his back and his tendrils twitching irritably. Due to being around Nightmare for so long, I've managed to read some of his emotions by the way his appendages move, and I can only assume Shattered's tendrils act the same. He walks over to Nightmare, stepping over Killer, who's limp on the ground, staring at Shattered with wide eye sockets. Slash is in the closet I think. He might've teleported away.

Wordlessly, Shattered unlocks Nightmare's shackles and grabs his brother by the wrist, roughly hauling him up so they're face to face. Shattered chuckles lowly, sounding sinister. "I hope you know you couldn't hide it for long, brother. I was bound to find out eventually."

"What are you talking about?" Nightmare snaps. "We haven't hid anything from you."

A guard walks over to me and roughly shoves me out of the way. I hit my head on the concrete floor and wince. I hear Killer bark something at the guard, but he doesn't pay any attention to him. The guard lifts my coat off the ground and picks up Shattered's laptop silently. We all hold our breaths nervously.

"Such a horrible liar, Nightmare." Shattered snickers. "I thought you would've tried harder than that." He menacingly trails a tendril down Nightmare's spine, and Nightmare growls. "Don't think I haven't heard you talking to your little friend." He looks around. "Where is he, anyway? Where is my old pal?"

Shattered seems distracted, so I give Dust the smallest nod I can manage. I don't know if he understood it, and when he does nothing, I think he didn't even see it. Then he launches himself at Shattered, snarling and wrapping an arm around his neck. Chaos erupts as Killer staggers up and wrenches a taser from one of the guard's belts, shooting anyone and everyone in sight until it doesn't work anymore. He then grabs a gun and shoots two of the already subdued officers, laughing despite the obvious amount of pain he's in. Nightmare quickly forces Shattered to the ground, since Dust can only hold him off for so long, and then Dust scurries over to Horror's side, who is fighting the other three guards. Ink, Swap, and Cross come down the stairs, and I wonder if one of the guards summoned them or if they were just unluckily in the house at the time and heard the chaos. Cross looks bewildered, almost free from his brainwashed state, but then Ink shoves a vial down his throat and forces him to swallow the ink inside. He goes back to that mindless trance, summoning two large blades to fight Slash, who's now appeared in the basement. That's how he's being brainwashed. If we can get the vial away from Ink and keep Cross down here, we can save him.
