Chapter 5

Hello naughty children its time to suffer x2
~

Things seemed to be different after he had that nightmare, more and more just kept coming, one after the other, they all seemed to connect, he wondered if Sans had these nightmares as well, might as well make a mental reminder to ask him. The two were huddled in a corner, the last test drained them  of their magic, making them exhausted, yet Papyrus stayed awake, he wasn't sure if he could take another one of those nightmares, yet, despite using all his strength to stay awake, he still fell asleep.

It was dark.

So dark.

He couldn't see.

He looked around.

Nothing, he was nowhere.

Something flashed.

It hurt him.

It burned him.

His eye started burning.

He wanted to scream.

It hurt so much.

It burned so much.

He felt like he was melting under the pressure.

He felt like he was slipping away into the darkness.

He felt like he was falling down.

He felt like he was being split apart.

He called for help, like he did in his previous nightmare...

B U T N O B O D Y C A M E

He didn't even notice it when he woke up screaming and sobbing. He felt his eye burn again, he pressed his hand to it, sobbing.

He felt arms wrap around him and bring him close, a familiar voice whispering soothing things to him.. It was Sans, Sans was there, he was safe, away from the darkness. Papyrus returned the hug, sobbing into his brother. ''Do you want to talk about it?'' Sans offered. Papyrus shook his head, thinking about it made him sick. The two stayed in silence before drifting off back to sleep, unaware of the figure observing them from their little prison.

''The younger subject seems to have nightmares, the older shows no signs of any so far. The older seems to be able to calm the other down, I wonder what I could do with this new information...''
