[ON HOLD] Fallen Glitches

4 - But Satisfaction Brought it Back

Hey guys. Here's chapter four. Enjoy.

=========================================================================

Error's POV:

I fell deeper into the Void. I could feel myself being torn apart, it was excruciatingly painful, but I didn't care. I could feel my consciousness slipping away - the serenity of death's embrace, I welcomed with open arms.

"Keep the Balance, Inky." I muttered as darkness consumed me and I willed Fate to just let me die, it's the least they could do.

Suddenly, the pain stopped and I was wrapped in a comforting warmth as a voice whispered something. I only caught snippets of what it said as I faded in and out of consciousness.

=========================================================================

???????'s POV:

Poor thing, he's been through so much, been so broken and yet he still is able to find it within him to forgive those who broke him.

"Keep the Balance, Inky." Error mumbled as he passed out. If I'm ever going to get back at Fate for their tricks, now is the time.

Fate has claimed one as their child, so I shall claim this one as mine. "Don't worry, you're safe now, my child." I whisper to Error as he curled up into a ball. "You choose your own destiny now."

Fate cannot touch a child of Destiny. Be safe, my child.

=========================================================================

Ink's POV:

It's been hours since Error called me 'brother' and jumped into the Void, but his last words still ring fresh in my mind; 'Keep the Balance for me... Brother'. It's frustrating, I get the feeling that I'm forgetting something important, but I can't pinpoint what.

"AARGH! WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER THIS." I yell, to the surprise of Dream, Stretch and Blue. Stretch hadn't let Blue out of his sight since we found him back in UnderSwap and Blue's getting pretty tired of the constant supervision - mumbling on about how unfair everything was.

"We should tell everyone they won't need to worry about Error anymore." Dream said, but I barely registered it. He seemed happy about Error being gone, but somehow I can't feel anything but overwhelming grief and frustration. Neither emotion I understood. Error was a threat to the Multiverse... right? I should be happy he's gone, but I'm not. What did Error mean when he called me 'brother'? "I DON'T UNDERSTAND!" Why are emotions such complicated things?

"Ink.... Ink... INK!" I snapped back into reality and looked at Dream. "Were you listening? I said; 'we should tell everyone they won't need to worry about Error anymore.' We might as well let everyone know."

"Yeah. Sorry, Dream, I kinda got lost in my thoughts. I'll call a meeting now."

"I... I need a few minutes, Papy... alone." Blue said, his voice monotonous, he was not his usual, bouncy self. Stretch seemed hesitant, but, seeing his brother's eye sockets so devoid of life, he allowed Blue to have a few minutes alone.

Dream and I got to work calling everyone for the meeting.

=========================================================================

Blue's POV:

Finally, I got my brother to leave me alone for a few minutes. Ink told me Error said he couldn't keep his second promise, but I only ever made him promise me one thing - to not destroy my AU's copies - unless absolutely necessary - and leave my AU alone. When I asked him to do that he said he would and told me he hated destroying, but it was the lesser of two evils. Error knew something like this would happen eventually so he asked me to do something for him.
