~~~Your POV~~~

I woke up my vision blurry. "Ugghh, what happened?" I asked myself and put a hand to my head. My vision slowly started to come back and I looked at my surroundings. I was still at the tree. I bolted awake. "Shit! what time is it?" I asked aloud.

"Calm down it's only 4 o'clock." I heard a voice say. Then everything came to me. 


The rope, the voice, the apple, and who was the owner of that voice.


I quickly got up from the ground and looked around me, seeing no one. "Where are you!?" I yelled out.

"Uh, up here." 'He' said. I quickly looked up to see a black blob of, what I suppose, is a skeleton sitting on one of the tree's branches. He was looking down, as if ashamed of something, but I was too scared to really notice it.


"Who are you?! What did you make me eat?! What exactly are you?! What do you plan to do to me now!?" I blurted out many questions and started backing up with each word. He looked up quickly, clearly panicked.

"Wait! Please don't go! I-I'll answer your questions but can you repeat them a little slower." He said a hand reaching out to me. I stopped and looked up at him, hesitant.

"Who are you?" I repeated one of my questions. He dropped his hand and sighed in relief then smiled a bit.

"My names Sans, but a lot of.. uh... 'people' call me Nightmare." He responded.

"O-Okay, 'Nightmare'," he flinched at the name. "What did you make me eat?"

"That was a cursed apple." He looked back down clearly ashamed, I let it sink in slightly.

"A Cursed.. Apple?" I mumbled to myself. "What do you mean Cursed?!" I yelled out to Nightmare causing him to jump.

"W-well you see its cursed by my brother. It was to keep me here in this tree, t-to keep me away from people." He said lowering his voice near the ending. I felt bad for him, but still to scared to actually comfort him physically.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you." I mumbled looking down.

"Hey, hey no your fine. It's okay, really. I'm fine. What were your other questions?" He asked changing the subject. I looked back up to see slight blue tears in his eyes, I didn't say anything and only said what my mind was thinking.

"Why did your brother curse you?" This took him by surprise as his eyes went wide.

"Why? Well, uh.. let's just say, I-I wasn't the greatest person before." He said and looked down again. "I did some very bad things and after a while my brother got tired of it... So he got some friends of his and managed to curse me to this tree."

"Oh, um. I'm sorry." I apologized again for no reason.

"Don't be, I deserved it." He chuckled dryly when a thought occurred to me.

"Why did you make me eat the apple?" I asked him.

"The curse states that I can't really be seen by people except for one person. The person that I dub 'worthy' of being able to see me. Or more like a way to actually be able to get off this tree. The only thing is there isn't many people who come down to this tree and the only people who do are apple thieves, but stealing apples from this tree also have an affect." He frowned.

"What happens?" I asked, he sighed.

"Anyone who steals an apple end up being poisoned and die a horrible death. The only way to be able to eat an apple from this tree is if one falls on its own. The problem is though, is that this tree doesn't drop any apples normally. The only way to get an apple to fall from this tree is to be a brother of the tree." He stated.


I soon felt bad for him and before I realized it I walked up to the tree. Slowly, but I walked up to him. "S-So your saying that i'm your only way," I started and looked up the tree to nightmare. "Off this tree?" He chuckled dryly.

"Yeah. I'm sorry if you didn't want this, I-I just thought-" He started until I cut him off.

"It's fine, in fact I'm glad you picked me." I told him. He looked down at me surprised.

"Really?" I nodded and put my hand up to him. He smiled widely, tears in his eyes, and grabbed my hand. He seemed hesitant.

"Come on Nightmare. This tree doesn't seem like a comfy place to sleep." I said making him chuckle.

"Y-Yeah." He said hesitantly and slowly slid off the tree branch. Sweat dripped off his skull as he finally dropped off the tree branch and dropped. He soon hit the ground and looked at himself as if analyzing himself. He then looked at me to his hands, then again, and again. He finally looked back at me a huge smile on his face. He then wrapped his hands around me in a tight hug. At first I tensed but quickly relaxed and hesitantly hugged back.

He let go and looked me in the face. "I can't thank you enough. Y/N, I-" He cut himself off and looked at the sky. "O-Oh no! You need to go!" He said panicked.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Go! Your parents! Its almost 6!" He said and pushed me down the hill. I started running down it. "Goodbye and thanks Y- AAAUUUGGGHH!!!!" Nightmare yelled out. I stopped and turned back to him, I was only a little over 5 yards from him.

"NIGHTMARE!" I yelled and ran back to him. He soon stopped screaming as I got closer. "Hey! wake up, Nightmare!" I shook him. He just stared at me wide eyed, mumbling.

"Can't leave..... Stay...... Brother..... Curse... Your side." Was all I heard.

"Nightmare you need to speak clearly I can't understand you." I told him.





"I can't leave your side, I-I have to stay by you. My brother, his-his curse made it so I have to stay by your side."
