Damned

Interception

-Dream's POV-

Nightmare smirked at me. "You all know exactly why i'm here. Fear, regret, and pain. It's nice to know I can have two kingdoms."

Ink growled at him. I saw Geno instinctively move Fresh and Error behind him.

"But.. I thought this was a happy kingdom. I can see people dying here..

and one big colourful ball of fear."

His cold blue eye quickly darted to Fresh, who, on shaky legs, stumbled backwards. Geno pit his arms up a little in a protective stance. "Stay away from him."

For some reason, he could coat even that in anger and defense.

Nightmare turned back to me, and took one step closer to me.

Even from the length of the carpet, it seemed he was too close.

"I can easily remove the unhappiness for you," Nightmare purred, directing his attention to Ink.

I stood, walking to the bottom of the steps. "Don't you even dare think of removing people from this castle. They do not belong to you, and their positivity can be fixed."

He started laughing. "They don't belong to me? You found Error laying in dirt, closer to my kingdom than yours. You killed the guards who came after you, knowing you had stole him."

He walked closer, grinning. "Fresh was in my castle. Mine. And you took him. Envious  much?"

"Ink was.. without feeling. He belonged to me in the first place, being my own. He had no feeling. But you brought him here and now he has..

vials.

Feeling."

He tilted his head and placed a mocking smile on his face.

"They don't belong to me, Dream?"

I did not look at anyone around me. I didn't want to see their disgust, shock, and fear.

I instead, glared at my brother.

"I was saving them. That you cannot deny."

I instantly felt most of the room calm. I breathed slowly, but not in a way that would he visible to those around me.
