Y/n POV: I woke up after the 'incident' in my room. I could tell that wasn't a Nightmare because I felt, and still feel pain... but... it isn't as bad as I remember. My surroundings are blurry but I see four figures next to the doorway. The one talking has a voice like a glitching computer. I groan and rub my head. The conversation stopped. I look over at the figures and they're coming towards me. Two appear very dark, the other two have a lighter color scheme, and one of the lighter ones looks almost see through! For some reason my mind is very clouded as well as my vision. One of them speaks in a rather gentle tone

" Hello Y/n, are you okay? You lost quite a bit of blood back there." You still can't see very well but your fogged mind has cleared enough to recognize his voice... but from where?

" I-i'm o-okay, but i'm not sure who you are? Have we met?" my voice shakes reflecting how weak I feel. He replies " No, we haven't met. I'm Nightmare, and these two are Cross and Error" i'm slightly disappointed by his answer. I then notice something strange

" Then how did you know my name, and who is the fourth person?". There was an awkward silence I imagine they're looking at each other confused. One of the lighter ones spoke

"What do you mean? 4? There are only 3 of us". My vision clears and it's 3 skeletons and a ghost like human. The one that just spoke is the traditional white skeleton wearing a hoodie, lined with fur. The one who introduced everyone is a skeleton covered some sort of black goop and has four tentacles. The skeleton who was talking when I gained consciousness has glitches and the word ERROR surrounding him. The human hasn't spoken but also seems confused 'Am... am I the only one who can see them?'. The Light skele... err... Cross looks toward where I spoke, and the human looks at him, then back at me, then at each other again... maybe he can see them too. The human finally speaks

' If you can see me, don't tell them. They'll think you're crazy! My name is Chara, and so far only Cross, and now you, have been able to see me." You wanted to ask them why but you decide to follow their advice

" Sorry my vision was still pretty blurry and I thought I saw another figure there". They seemed to be satisfied by this. Cross winks at me, and Chara gives me a thumbs up.

" NIghTmARe HAs sOmethInG tO aSK YoU" Error chimes in.

" What? Oh! Right yes *ahem* Y/n I would like to ask i..."

"COME OUT YOU LITTLE B@#$%!!!" oh no, nonononono. I get out of bed and go towards the window when suddenly it shatters. Little shards of glass come flying at me, and a brick hits me in the torso knocking the wind out of me. Nightmare rushes to my side as Cross goes to the window to see who threw the brick, and soon Error snaps out of his daze and comes to help Nightmare with the glass shards imbedded in my skin. Cross seems very angry and Chara hisses with disgust. Pain shoots all over my body and I can feel liquid, though i'm not sure if it's blood, sweat, or the goopy substance off of Nightmare. Tears of pain cloud my eyes as I start to gently squeeze Nightmare's arm.

"I can't believe those sons of B*&$@es!" Cross almost shouts. He disappears and so does Chara, and not much later, I can hear screams of pain and terror outside. When Cross returns, Nightmare and Error have picked out most of the glass and they've started to heal the small cuts. I don't know how, but the combination of Nightmare gently holding me, whatever is healing me, the fact that Cross and Chara either killed or scared away my torturers, piled on top of not sleeping too well for about a week, makes me... start to... doze... off... ... ... .

( perspective change because you're asleep and the story needs to progress)

Nightmares POV: She looks so peaceful. Error and I have finished with her wounds and Error is fixing the window at my request. He said he didn't see a point if we were just going to take her to the Nightmare Realm and destroy this world, but I insisted that we should do all we can to earn her trust and make her more comfortable, since it is ultimately her decision whether this world is destroyed or not. I am NOT going to let this place be destroyed with her here. That being said, I highly doubt she will want to continue living here because of everything that has been happening to her, and will most likely continue happening. After all, Cross said he had only managed to kill 2 of the 7 who abuse her. The remaining 5 are likely to retaliate. I lay her back onto her bed after brushing off the remaining shards of glass. Cross pulls the covers over her unconscious form and I tell Cross and Error to go make sure the others are not acting up in our absence. In the meantime, I go downstairs to see if she has any medication she needs to bring with her, as I would not be aware of any health conditions she has due to only sensing negative feelings. She has some clonazepam (Klonopin) in the medicine cabinet. I'm not sure what it's for but I can look it up later. I decide to go check on her, but she's still sound asleep. I wonder what I should do until she wakes?

(So yeah this chapter was shorter but whatever.

"What's the meds for?"

Patients Cross patients. You'll find out soon enough. Also I don't take this medication, and if you take it or decide to look it up(like a cheater) don't tell people in the comments what it's for I want it to be a surprise... Chara do you have something to add? And no death threats or insulting the reader!

'Yes*ahem* I apologize for my rudeness in the last chapter, I was frustrated with looking like a child and actually being a teenager, and it was wrong of me to take out my frustrations on the reader'

Wow Chara. Didn't know you had it in you!

'HOWEVER! If you expect me to be all sunshine and rainbows like the other two'

*in unison* HEY!

"HEY!"

'Then prepare to be extremely disappointed!'

Cross!

" Y O U 'R E G O N N A H A V E A B A D T I M E" *hit's himself in the face with a mace*

'OW! CROSS HOW DARE YOU!'

" heh heh. Ow"

...Okay... see you next chapter!)
