This is my 6th attempt trying to publish this goddamn chapter--

❤️💜AAAAAAAA 31kkkkkkkk💜❤️

---Nightmare's POV----

So many flashbacks were hitting me just from looking at the collapsing building. I winced, looking down as I tried to block out all the memories. Block out all the fear.

Currently the worst thing to look at were the dead trees that used to be a forest. That's where some of the clearer memories are... That's where Dream and I had gone, simply wanting to check out the lab because we were curious. No. Because I was curious. I had dragged Dream there. I don't think I would have ever been able to forgive myself if it had been him that got caught instead of me.

But Dreams gone now. The last I ever saw of him before as nine years ago. When I had turned passive to escape the prison. He had trapped me at our old base and I'd had to collapse a porch on him to escape. If I'm honest, I still regret doing that...

"Nighty?"

I jolted, looking down to see Cross looking up at him, his face laced with concern.

"A-Are you okay?" He asked, squeezing my hand softly.

I blinked, realising that everyone else was already half way over to the entrance, all of them stood around the wide, ominous opening. "Y-Yeah...I-It's just...bad memories..."

Cross sighed, gently tugging me along to the others, the kids close by our sides. "It's okay...just try to block them out..."

"I'll try..." I mumbled, wincing as we stopped by the others, looking into the dark entrance. I could faintly see the outlines of broken and toppled desks with paper strewn across the floor from when everyone tried to evacuate in a panic while I was defying expectations and ripping through my restraints in the experiment room.

Error glanced back at me nervously, clearly wondering how I was coping as well. "You gonna be okay, Nightmare?"

"I'll be fine." I growled. "I'm not going to loose it and attack all of you."

"Maybe you will..." Geno muttered. "How can we even trust you?"

I whipped around, hissing loudly at him. "What the fuck do you think I'm talking about?! Do you think this place will make me kill all of you suddenly!? I'll tell you something, Geno. It doesn't. But, if it does, then I'll make sure you're the first person I slaughter!"

Reaper then growled loudly, stepping in front of the shocked looking Geno. "So much as lay a fucking finger on him and I'll call your little psycho's favourite asylum people right here to drag him back to the cage where he belongs!"

I slapped him. Full on slamming my hand into his face. "Fucking try. I dare you."

Reaper looked like he was about to launch himself at me when Ink ran in between both of us.

"BOTH OF YOU STOP IT! WE CAN'T ATTACK EACH OTHER LIKE ANIMALS!"

I growled, going to push past him when I felt something tug on my arm and stop me. I hissed, whipping around, but instantly froze as I saw who it was.

Cross pulled my arm weakly, seeming terrified over both my sudden outburst and Reapers threat.

Immediately I forgot all about Reaper and hugged Cross to my chest, sighing softly. "D-Don't worry Cross...y-you're safe..."
