Insomnia

Farwell

Nightmare took a step back cracking the vial in his hand. Ink turned back to Nightmare as the portal closed.

"Give me my vials or I'll show you while you should be scared of me!" Ink held his hand out as he glared at Nightmare. His eye lights glowing red brightly, Ink's paintbrush was in his other hand, Ink held it like a katana of some sort. Nightmare loosened his grip on the paint and waited for Ink to smirk as he created a portal underneath himself and fell inside his old AU.

"SUCKER!!!" Nightmare shouted and he crushed the paint vial in his hand as he landed on the ground. The paint swirled in his dark matter as he closed the portal before Ink could follow.

The AU was barely recognizable as the AU that Dream and Nightmare once called home, half of it was destroyed and the other half in ruin, covered in trees, grass, and vines. The sky was dark, no matter how hard Ink had tried he couldn't fix all the damage that Nightmare and Error had inflicted on the AU. Nightmare ran to his mother, and pat her bark as he ran to the over growth and ruined village to hide.

Ink roared and followed Nightmare with using his own portal. As soon as Ink got in the AU, he searched for Nightmare.

"NIGHTMARE! I know you're here! I can FEEL your SOUL~" Ink called looking around, his guard was up as he search through the village shrouded in trees.

"COME ON!!!" Ink shrilled, his paintbrush tight in his hand paint gathered at the tip wait and was ready for Nightmare to attack if he did.

Nightmare was watching Ink from a distance he snickered a bit pulling out a new vial, it was the red vial. He shoved some of the vials into his cloak pocket and remembered how thin his dark matter was... he shook off his worry, 'this was worth it.' Nightmare told himself hiding the rest of the vials in a bush.

Nightmare moved spots trying to find another good vantage point and began to break the vail as he found one.

Ink was close enough to hear Nightmare break the vial, he roared and ran towards the noise. Ink weaved through the trees and wasn't getting very close to Nightmare. 

Ink waved his paint on the ground and created two clones of himself sending him ahead as he joined their search, the clones looked exactly like Ink.

Nightmare broke the vial teleporting to another vantage point quite a distance away from Ink and hid behind a tree as an Ink ran past him. Ink created more copies trying to find Nightmare outspoken SOUL.

Nightmare grabbed another vial the other vials clanked together notifying an Ink. Nightmare couldn't tell which Ink was the real one, so he had to be very careful.

The Ink snuck up on Nightmare and threw paint at Nightmare trapping him on the tree he was hiding behind.

" G I V E  M E  T H E  V I A L S!!" The Ink hissed, Nightmare decided this was the real one as Ink glared at him.

"How~ my hands are stuck." Nightmare smirked seeing how pissed Ink was. Ink grabbed Nightmare's neck tightening his grip.

"GIVE ME MY VIALS OR I WILL FINISH WHAT I STARTED!!" Ink snapped looking at Nightmare's not fully healed chest. Nightmare used his strength to pull off the tree he tackled Ink knocking him on them both on ground.

"I know you think you have a crush on Dream so kill me and you kill him." Nightmare smiled confident that Ink wouldn't kill him.

"I can always make another one." Ink said coldly. Nightmare froze and glared, 'Dream was not an object that Ink could recreate! Dream is my brother, a monster that actually has a SOUL!!' Nightmare wanted to scream, but his dark matter kept him silent.

"NOW GIVE THEM TO ME!!" Ink snapped flipping Nightmare over grabbing his neck. Nightmare sneakily snuck a tentacle in his cloak pocket and let his dark matter absorbed the vials, Nightmare showed Ink his hands.

"I don't have any." Nightmare lied.

Ink squeezed harder until he felt Nightmare's neck begin to pop and crack. Nightmare gapped for air, he was starting to go limp from the lack of oxygen he somehow really needed, his dark matter slowly started to leaked off him.

"WHERE ARE THEY?!" Ink roared taking one hand off of Nightmare's neck and pulled out his paintbrush placed it on Nightmare's chest.

There was a weird glint in Ink's sockets as he place lifted the paintbrush up and sent it down Nightmare weakly used a few tentacles to stop the paintbrush.

"ANSWER ME!!!" Ink screamed as Nightmare threw the brush weakly aside. The paintbrush wasn't far out of reach.

"ANSWER ME NOW!!!!!!" Ink shrilled kicking Nightmare with his knee. Nightmare was losing more and more dark matter. His senses were deafening as his breathing went ragged and he closed his eyes.

Ink punched Nightmare.

"NIGHTMARE STOP IGNORING ME!!!" Ink screamed finally releasing Nightmare's neck completely. Nightmare laid unmoving.

Ink punched Nightmare very hard in the face.

"TELL ME!!!!!!!" Ink screeched, Nightmare's jaw broke as Ink punch Nightmare again. Nightmare's matter struggled to heal it.

Ink grabbed his paintbrush and shoved hit as hard as he could to Nightmare's face.
