Shattered Dream

Awakening

Nightmares P.O.V.

I could hear a portal opening, so I turned around, subconsciously hiding the still unconcious Dream behind me. It was one of Errors portals and he stepped right through, followed by a seemingly scared Blue. Strangly, he didn't seem to be scared by this place or the people inside of it, but rather by a recent event.

" Nightmare ? Error, why did you bring me here ? " , Blue asked.

" I dOn'T reAllY kNoW ? NiGhtMarE sAiD I sHouLd bRiNg yOu, sO I diD." , Error responded.

" Yeah I did. It's about Dream. Whe have... a little bit of a problem..." Nightmare said, while stepping to the side, revealing the now corrupted Dream.

Error crashed immidiatly, and Blue just stared, taking note of the familiar circlet on the others head. As if that wasn't enough, Dream decided to wake up at this very moment, groaning in pain.

" Nightmare ? Wha-" , he stopped and freezed as soon as his hand came into his view. The goopy substance reminded him of the recent events, causing memories to flow back. But he didn't care that he was like this now. If it was necessary to get back together with his twin, he would happily learn to live with the corruption. A strange sound, probably a restrained scream, caused him to look up, just to meet two familiar, even if slightly smaller, blue orbs.

" D-dream ? Is that you ? " , asked Blue, and Dream only nodded as a response. He was still feeling dizzy, he would have expected the transformation to be that painfull. And he only had a single apple. How much pain had his brother gone through ? Slowly sitting up, he took a glance at his surroundings. Nightmare looked away, his aura one of pure guilt. They appeared to be in front of a dark castle that Dream had never seen before, and Error was here as well. Noticing the rebooting skeleton, he grabbed onto his brothers arm tightly, still afraid of the well known God of Destruction.

Error finished rebooting, and started to blame Nightmare immidiatly : " Oh come on ! What did you do this time ?! That is not  'a little problem' . Wasn't it enough to turn him into a stone statue for a few centauries ?! "

Dream could feel the amount of guilt in his brothers aura increase dramaticly, but he wondered why. It wasn't his brothers fault that he got corrupted, he chose this path himself. And he did it to help his brother, so he would start right now. " He didn't do anything wrong. I chose to eat the apple on my own. " Nightmare looked at him in shock, wanting to deny that, but Dream shook his head, signaling him to not say anything.

Blue was still staring, so Dream had to gently hit him with one of his newformed tentacles. They felt weird for sure, it was suprising that he knew how to move them, since they weren't there before.
