---Chara's POV----

I stayed close to Nightmare as he walked into the abandoned building, letting his tentacle tug me along. I used to be scared of him, but seeing all the others glare harshly at me, really sent chills down my spine.

Of course none of them have ever seen me before. They have no clue that I'm the demon child that used to inhabit Cross' body. I'm just a strange looking child that's been dragged in from their point of view.

After Nightmare had hissed at all of them for underestimating him he stalked over to a corner of the room, sitting down with Cross tightly clutched in his arms.

I sat down next to him, the pink girl also flopping down next to me.

None of the gang said anything for a moment, frozen as they watched Nightmare check himself for wounds. The whole building was dead silent for about three minutes before Error suddenly fake coughed, making Nightmare look up at him.

"First off..." Error said, eyeing the sleeping figure of Cross in his arms. "How the fuck did you manage to break into Lilitown's top security Asylum and get past all the guards, including X to save Cross and escape all within one day?!"

Nightmare glared at Error coldly before looking down at Cross and rubbing his thumb over the smol skeleton's skull. "I love him. That's how."

"That really doesn't answer my question..."

"Well it's my only answer." Nightmare growled. "So think of another question if I've disappointed you. Oh, and thanks for helping by the way." He spat that last bit with such malice that half the people in the room flinched.

Error rubbed his hands over his face, inhaling sharply. "Nightmare you know why we couldn't help Cross..."

"Oh yeah. What was your excuse again? We need a plan. Bullshit. You just didn't want to risk your lives to save him. Selfish pricks." Nightmare hissed.

Error closed his eyes, breathing out shakily before locking gazes with me. "Well then who's he?"

"The ghost that's been living in Cross' conscious for half of his life." Nightmare muttered casually, far too busy glaring at the cracks on Cross' wrist bones to care about me.

"WHAT?!" The whole gang practically screamed, instantly staring at me like I was some demon dog.

Speaking of that dog, it was also eyeing me up weirdly, its blood red eyes narrowed.

I flinched, letting my hair fall down over my eyes a bit, attempting to shield myself from view.

"So...you're Chara...?" Ink whispered, looking me up and down.

I nodded stiffly, hugging my knees to my chest. "Yeah...X separated us...by...by ripping our different soul halves apart..."

Nightmare immediately looked over at me, shocked. "H-He tore your soul in half?!"

I nodded, wincing at the memory. "He needed us separate for some reason...but whatever the reason was, we didn't find out. Because you came and rescued us. X was preparing to do something to both of us just before you set off all the alarms...and I guarantee we wouldn't have survived it..."

Nightmare hugged Cross closer to his chest, mumbling to himself as he peppered the top of Cross' skull with soft kisses.

"And who's that?" Ink asked, pointing at the pink haired girl.

She glanced over at him, her hair falling over one of her eyes and covering it. "I'm Betty. I helped the octopus escape by distracting X and some guards."
