Shattered Dream

Ink

Blue, who had been rudely snapped out of his dazed state, gave the twins a helpless look, all earlier events forgotten. After all, one of his best friends just got corrupted, out of free will. But had it really been what Dream wanted ? Or was Nightmare brainwashing his brother ? No. He knew for a fact that Nightmare still cared about Dream, more than his brother cared about him. Which is kind of sad, since the Dreamtale twins were supposed to want each other dead. Did Paps want him dead ? Blueberrys thoughts were getting darker and darker, and, eventually, the little cinnamon roll had to hold back tears. That, of course, was noticed by the siblings, while Nightmare always knew when their were negative feelings, Dream knew because of spending so much time with the blue ball of energy. Obviously, he believed that his actions were the cause for this, so he tried to comfort his crying friend. But Nightmare was confused by his brothers guilt, since he had more expirience with this kind of stuff, not comforting someone, but reading negative emotions, he could tell that Blue wasn't angry at Dream, more like...jealous ? Why would he be jealous of Dream ? Error was just standing there, uncomfortable, since he hated it when people cried, espeacally the ones he secretly cared about. So he went to comfort the little guy, too, awkwardly petting his back, since he hated physical contact.

" Blue ? What's wrong ? " , Dream shot Nightmare a dirty look, still asuming that he was the one causing this. But Nightmare responded with a confused look and aura, weirding Dream out.

" My gUeSs : ThE rEceNt eVenTs sHoOk hIm uP. " , Error stated, making Dream look at him, then back towards Blue, who had finally stoped crying.

" I don't want to talk about it..." , Blue said quietly, on the verge of tears again.

Maybe they would have figured it out with Errors help, but suddenly, a colourfull portal opened. And it surely wasn't one of Freshs portals, for once sadly. Even the parasite would have been better than the real creator of this portal, the Creator himself.

" Give Blue back this instant, Error ! " , Ink shouted, assuming that the Destroyer was hitting the Sans from Underswap, not recognizing his other friend. He simply thaught that the goopy figure was Nightmare, until he noticed the Guardian of Negativity standing a few feet away from him. Now confused, but still determined to save his creation, and maybe find out where his happy pill went, Ink switched into his fighting position. All of a sudden there were tentacles sent by Nightmare, but they weren't sharpened, and they weren't sent for Ink either. They brought the smaller brother back to Nightmare, protecting him from the suddenly thrown red paint.

" Brother ! Let me go ! I can fight for myself ! " , Ink froze at this words, everything clicking into place. Dream went missing, and he lost track of his code completly, as if it had been erased. Nightmare stole his only source of real emotions ! He was going to use it for himself ! And on top of that, Error stole his other friend, his creation, for himself, too. Why ? Wasn't he happy with the creator ?

" Error ! Why did you steal Blue ? Aren't you happy with me ? Aren't we friends ? "
