No Empty Promises [Ink X Error] FINISHED

"He's Lost" Chapter Five

Third Person

Ink teleported to Blueberry's house, being in an overprotective-mother-mode. He was very protective of his best friends and decided to bring Reboot with him. Reboot had asked about his wound but brushed it off when Ink didn't want to be bothered about it. It was healing faster than it should have, and that was worrying Ink. Actually not really worrying, just making him highly concerned.

While Ink and Reboot knocked on the door to Blueberry's house, Blueberry was walking to the door slowly, only looking for where Dream went. When he opened the door he was tackled in a hug by his artistic skeleton friend. "Blue! You are absolutely sure you didn't get hurt?! Did you see a rose at any place?"

Even if Blueberry did see a rose, he would have forgotten. Well, that's pretty self-explanatory. "No, but have you seen Dream? He isn't in the house..." Blueberry looked down sadly, looking at Reboots shoes. Reboot sighed, walking over and giving Dream a hug.

"It's okay, he's Dream, he can't be beaten!" Reboot tried to be encouraging with confidence. Apparently, it worked because it managed to cheer Blueberry up.

"Yeah! You're right, he is friends with me so my attitude must have worn off on him!" Blueberry got into a heroic pose, grinning like Comic Sans.

"Well, Reboot, take Blue to the party and I'l-" "PARTY?!?!" Blue shouted as yellow stars appeared in his eye sockets after. "U-Uh, Reboot will explain.. Now you guys head off to..." Ink didn't know what to call the area of the party so he did a hand motion to Reboot with a confused and seemingly disturbed facial expression.

"Uh, just come with m-me. I'll explain later," Reboot laughed nervously and grabbed Blueberry's hand.

"Good luck, Inky!" Blueberry called out, blushing and being dragged away. "Bye!" Ink replied, smiling and waving. 'That was cute,' Ink thought, fangirling and squeezing his fists in excitement. 'Now, back to the main topic..' he thought to himself, walking over to the kitchen.

He had trashed the whole house. Being frustrated was not something he handled well. "Ugh, where are you, Dream?!" He shouted, flipping the couch. Well, trying to anyway. He stopped abruptly, realizing something. He could just go to the void and track him down! "Dream, this better be worth my time," He laughed angrily as he got out his paintbrush. Then Ink made a portal, jumping in.

"Now... Let's find Dreamy!" Ink cheered, but inside he was frightened. He hoped and wished with all his 'heart' that Dream was okay. He looked and looked, not being able to get a single hint where he was. He was getting frustrated now, getting ready to take a break. He growled, aggressively biting into the apple he was eating. It was a dream apple.

He threw the core of the apple somewhere behind him into the whiteness of the void, gripping his skull. He turned around and stomped away. A sudden crunch and a little fwooshing sound made Ink tense up slightly. "Eh..?" He looked down, seeing words written out in dust. He backed up, out of anger he grabbed his brush and blew all of the dust away with a single swing. He missed some of the dust and read the two letters.

Then it was all dust again. He came to realize that it was a note that could have helped him. Since that was a really good benefit he thought of, he sank to his knees. He drug his finger along on the dust, now seeing there was more than expected. He made some drawing of Dream, with him and Blue.

Ink started getting hiccups, but he wasn't crying. He got hiccups because he was trying not to cry. He has never dealt with this much stress before, so it was new to him.

"Hey. Get up, twig." Ink looked up, to see who insulted him. He saw... Marvul?

"What are you doing here?!" Ink snapped, hiccuping once more.

"Tch, fine. I won't help you find your 'Boyfriend'," Marvul smirked teasingly, turning his back to Ink.

"W-Wait.. You know where he is? Where is he!" Ink yelled, glaring at Marvul.

He just laughed at him. "Yes, I do know where he is, but I'm not gonna tell you, sooo..." he trailed off, acting like a douche.

"Then get out! I don't want you here pestering me!" Ink screamed at him, eye sockets watering with tears. One tear fell into his eye socket while another left a wet streak down near his 'cheek' on the right side of his skull.

"Ugh, stop with your emotional crap, let's get this over with," Marvul snarled at the end, grabbing Ink's shirt and pulling him up to his eye level, with him sitting on his knees on the non-existent ground. "I'm not sure-" Marvul soon got cut off by a glitching voice.

"H-h-H-h-H-Ey! PUt_him d-dO-Wn-! If a-nY-Y-oNE's gO-o-Nna_kIll hi-Im-M, iT'S gOIN-g to_be M-e!" Marvul was swung backward by bright and dark blue strings. The swap version of Dream still had his grip on Ink and took him with him a few inches.

"You-!" Marvul started to shout, but he was tossed into a portal.

"Th-e-eRe," sighed the glitching voice, sounding relieved he got his side quest finished. "hE mA-A-A-a-de my_JO-B so mu-U-Ch MorE e-a-eas-asy.." He rolled the magic color in his eye sockets and took a few strides closer to Ink.

"What do y-you -hic- want?" Ink glared at ERROR, his enemy.

"W-w-e-e-e-ELl, siN-n-ce_I LIKe dESt-rOyiN-n-G_tHos-e abominations," "Alternate Universes." Ink cut in, growling in the opposite of admiration. "yes, 'Al-l-teRnaTe UNiVer-r-sEs'," ERROR mocked Ink, walking in front of him, crouching down. "I-I-I_tHoUght WE co-ULd mAke A, hm-m-m-m-m-m, How dO_I SAy iT.. A baRGaIn."

ERROR, the down looker on the universe, smirked evilly at Ink, who was on his knees. "Not with you!" Ink hiccuped once again, thinking it was the final one.

"TCh, fI-I-i-inE TH-en. GoO-O-o-d LUc-k fin-N-nDing_DreAm." ERROR was already standing a foot away in front of Ink, back turned to him as he smirked. Inks 'heart' stopped, thinking of his dearest friend. "Pl-l-lUS, I_jU-U-st sA-a-a-AVed YOUR-r liF-li-lIFe. I COulD-d-d-D hAVe lE-let-t yo-OU dI-e.

Oh WaIt, yOu cAn-n'T.__ONLY-Y-Y beCA-A-auSe You-u-U ar-e A wE-a-a-ak lIt-tle-e-E BITCH!"

ERROR turned quickly and kicked Ink on the chest, knocking the wind out of his ribs. Ink fell back, gasping even though he didn't necessarily need air to live or needed to breathe in the first place. He coughed while ERROR stood there, laughing like a crazed and deranged skeleton.

When Ink hit the ground, his skull cracked a little more. At that moment, Ink saw a little green mist come from the crack. The artist coughed, covering his mouth. "T-then why d-did you heal me..?" He looked up with a pained face. ERROR froze.

'How did he find out?!?' ERROR was mentally losing his shit, standing there in a paralyzed form. He was glitching more than usual, with black 'ERROR''s appearing over and covering his eyes. He jerked downwards to the side, almost falling.
