Little Nightmare (Nightmare Sans (Dad) x Luna (son)

Chapter 12

*Timeskip to a month later*

*Luna’s prov.*

I woke up to my alarm as I groaned and got up and used one of my scarfs ends to turn it off. Dad had moved it to where I couldn’t reach it, so I had to use my scarf ends to turn it off. Over the month since they started training me, dad has helped me control my scarf ends along with summoning my own tendrils for when something happens to my scarf. I still haven’t been able to completely control my abilities like my dream and nightmare manipulation from what dad told me.

I walked to the bathroom that was connected to my room and did my daily morning routine before leaving the bathroom and got dressed in black sports shorts, a blue t-shirt and of course my scarf and dad’s hoodie. I then left my room and walked down to the kitchen and used my scarf end again to grab one of the apples from a bowl on the counter. I got it to grab the apple and slowly bring it to me. Before it could reach my hand someone entered behind me surprised me and my scarf end threw the apple at whoever it was while my other ends flailed around me protectively as I look behind me seeing a pile of black goop and a smashed apple on the wall in the dining room. “Oops”

I mumbled and looked at the goop puddle hoping it wasn’t dad. The goop started to move along the floor towards me scarring me a bit as I used my scarfs to stab into the ceiling of the kitchen and pull myself up away from the goop “what the! This only happens to dad! Why isn’t it going to dad!?”  I practically called out to no one in particular.

‘I can’t hold this for long!’ I screamed in my head as the goop was slowly bubbling up into a taller form of goop reaching for me. “DADDY!!!” I yelled out before hearing a warping noise and looked at behind the goop seeing dad as he reached one of his tendrils to the goop and absorbed it through one of his tendrils. Once it was all gone I lost control of my scarf ends making them go limp as I fell to the floor with a loud crash.

I groaned and sat up. Dark Lavender tears pricked my eye sockets as I wiped them away trying to not show weakness. “You ok kiddo?” I heard dad, I nod not looking at him before feeling one of his tendrils wrap around me and pick me up bringing me closer to him as he hugged me. I grabbed on to his hoodie and whimpered lightly trying to hold in my tears.

We stayed like that for a few minutes but it felt like an hour. “Want to tell me what happened?” dad asked as I nod and looked at him.”I was practicing controlling my scarf ends and had them grab an apple. One of the servants I believe came in and surprised me. I lost control of my scarf ends and ended up throwing the apple at them turning them to goop and making a small mess on the dining room wall. After that, the goop started coming towards me and I was scared” I explained

Dad sighed “next time that happens summon one of your tendrils and touch it. It will make you stronger” I heard him say as I look up at him and nod wiping away the dark lavender tears that were pricking my eye sockets. I nod and sniffed “o-ok” I replied back to him as he smiled at me and smiled at me and kissed my crescent moon marking on my forehead before he put me down. “Go get ready for your training,” he said before he pats my skull and left.

I walked over to where the apples were and grabbed one before making my way to the training area. I ate my apple while I made my way there. Once I finished my apple I tossed the core away and got ready to train. I entered the area and went towards one of the dummies and used my scarf ends to attack it.

I was distracted by my training and didn’t notice uncle Horror and uncle Blackberry. I sensed them and smirked playfully and continued my attention on the dummies. After about a minute I sensed something coming my way and I jumped out of the way and used my scarf ends to deflect uncle Horror’s cleaver. We both landed on the ground two of my scarf ends were holding the blade of his cleaver at bay while he was pushing it towards my “morning kiddo” he chuckled “morning uncle Horror” I said and smirked as I used one of my other scarfs ends to trip him and make him fall on his back while my other scarf ends held his cleaver.

“Nice job pipsqueak” I looked at Blackberry and smiled. He started calling me pipsqueak since I’m shorter than him. Uncle Horror stood up and snatched him cleaver away from my scarf ends as they went limp. “Let's continue with controlling your powers than we’ll go to hand to hand combat for when you can no longer use your abilities.” uncle Blackberry said. I nod and listened to his instructions “first let's have you summon your tendrils and let's see how well you can control them.” he said I nod and focused on summoning the tendrils. My bones and skull turned black and my markings glowed and changed slightly. I felt the tendrils starting to appear and wave around me.

My tendrils were similar to dad’s but they weren’t as slimy and were quite smooth with sharp ends. They were black with a violet outline the timps of my tendrils were gold and that confused me, but I never questioned it.  I summoned two of them as the was all I was able to summon for the time being. “Good now summon the third one,” Blackberry said. I nod and focused on a third tendril. I focused and focused. About a half hour later I started to feel my third tendril as it manifested like the other two and was now lightly flailing around with the other two.

I smiled wide, excited that I did it “I did it!!!” I yelled as my tendrils flailed around my wildly “careful kiddo don’t lose focus now” I heard uncle horror and stopped and looked at him noticing that I had his ankle in one of my tendrils and was holding him upside down. “Hehe, sorry uncle horror” I carefully lowered him to the ground and let go of him as dad came out.

“Nice job kiddo you summoned the third one. Keep training and learn to summon at least five. You're almost there.” dad said. I smiled at him  “alright let's go to combat training use your tendrils you summoned pipsqueak” Blackberry said as he teleports to the other side of the arena facing me as he summoned some bones. I turned to face him and nod ready for his attack.

*time skip to when Luna is 10* (no one’s prov.)

Luna had finally gotten the hang of his powers and Nightmare had taught him how to open portals while blackberry and horror taught him to teleport. He has gotten stronger since he had started training. He was now able to summon about the same amount of tendrils as Nightmare but he still preferred to use his scarf ends and would only use his tendrils for emergencies.

Luna was in the training arena with Nightmare as the two were sparring with their magic and tendrils. This became a weekly thing for the two, so Nightmare could test how much stronger his son was getting over the years. “Come on Luna you haven’t even landed a hit on my yet” Nightmare cooed at his son smirking and chuckling. Nightmare hasn’t moved from his spot as he only used his tendrils to block, dodge, and attack Luna. “I haven’t even moved from my spot hehehe” Nightmare chuckled at his panting and out of breath son. “Heh I almost...hah had you…..heh though dad hah” Luna pants as he looked at his dad

“I think thats enough for today kiddo lets head back into the castle. Lunch should be ready and I need to go out today.” NIghtmare said as He started to walk off the arena and towards the castle doors. “Ok, could I come dad?” Luna asked and ran over to catch up to Nightmare. Nightmare chuckled and messed Luna’s amethyst and blue hair up “once you land a hit on me you can join me, but until then you’ll stay here at the castle where its safe. Ok?” Nightmare said looking at Luna. “ok” Luna said saddened he was never allowed outside the castle walls and could only be either in the castle or in the courtyard/ training arena if he wanted to be outside.

The two walked to the dining hall side by side. It didn’t take long for them to reach the dining room as two servants opened the door and let them enter. The two sat down at the large dining table. Nightmare was at the head while Luna said on Nightmares left side. The servants brought them their lunch. Luna dug into his meal hungrily he only had an apple for breakfast. So he was hungry after sparring with his dad.

Blackberry and Horror came in shortly and sat down furthest from the two, as servants brought them their lunch and they started eating, “Horror Blackberry after lunch meet me in the throne room” Nightmare said and the two nod and continue to eat.

Luna was the first to finish his lunch as he asked a servant to bring him a large water bottle “I’m gonna go train some more” he said once he got his water bottle and teleports back to the training arena. Nightmare sighed smiling as he finished and teleports to his throne room with Horror and Blackberry not far behind.  Once they were in the throne room Nightmare sent Blackberry to an AU and told horror to come with him to another AU. Once they were done disgusting they left.
