Error's Point of View
It's been three days since I took the glitch to Nightmare's castle and holy shit does this girl have balls. The very first time she was introduced to our 'king', she spit on him. Of course this pissed him off and hit her. I thought it was strange when Nightmare ordered Killer to take the girl down to the dungeon when I was perfectly capable of doing it. I think they're all hiding something from me but there is one that I can manipulate. Ah, there he is.
"HeY dUsT, i NeEd YoU tO sCoUt OuT tHoSe DaMnEd StAr SaNsEs." The smaller skeleton jumped at the sound of my voice.
"I'm supposed to be taking this food to the prisoner. Nightmare's orders."
"I cAn TaKe CaRe oF iT. yOu Go Do ThIs sO wE cAn AtTaCk ThEm WhEn ThEy LeAsT eXpEcT iT. nO dOuBt ThEy'Ll Be DiStRaUgHt OvEr ThE gIrLs DiSaPpEaRaNcE."
"Alright. Just don't tell Nightmare I skimped out on duties or something," he handed me the tray of food. "It's cell 13. Come on, Papyrus."
There he goes again. Talking to his Paps. I wonder if I ever had a Papyrus. I shook my head and made my way to the dungeon. I can't waste time dwelling on useless thoughts. My strings illuminated the path in front of me and in no time at all I found the hall with the glitch's cell in it. She was talking to someone.
"Please, Jammy." Who's Jammy? "All you have to do is swipe at the wall with it and you'll be able to go somewhere safe."
"B-But what about you? Won't you be scared here, all alone?" A meek voice responded to her.
"I'll be fine here. You need to go fast. We don't know when the next patrol will start." I decided to make my presence known.
"WhAt aRe YoU pLoTtInG, yOu DaMnEd GlItCh?"
"Now! Jammy, go now," the girl yelled to the cell behind me. There was a swish noise and a light appeared behind me. I turned to look and saw a small black boned skeleton standing in front of a portal that went to the Doodle Sphere, a small paint brush in his hand. He looked oddly like the glitch's companion in Dancetale but with a few key differences. He was a lot smaller than his counterpart and he was wearing a small potato sack from the kitchen to cover up his thin, malnourished bones. "Find Ink! Tell him that Cora sent you!"
The young skeleton nodded and leapt through the portal faster than my strings could catch him. The portal closed instantly after he was through. I tossed the food and shot my strings at the girl, allowing them to wrap around her neck. "yOu'Re GoInG tO tElL mE wHo ThAt WaS oR yOu'Re GoInG tO rEgReT iT."
"I'd rather die than tell you." My strings tightened around her neck.
"Error!" I heard Nightmare's cold, calm voice. It was just.like his personality. "Put. Her. Down. I won't warn you again."
I let out a growl and turned to him. "ShE wIsHeD iT uPoN hErSeLf. NoW, wIlL yOu ExPlaIn To Me JuSt ExAcTlY wHo ThAt PrIsOnEr WaS?"
"This area is restricted to you. Why are you here?" Of course he'd try to change the subject.
"fEeDiNg ThE tHiNg BuT," I smirked at the glitch. "iT lOsT iT's MeAl."
"Throne room. Now. We need to discuss a few things, such as where your loyalties lie."
"I aLiGn MySeLf WiTh No OnE. iF yOu CaN'T tElL mE wHo ThAt WaS, tHeN i'Ll DeFiNiTeLy NeVeR aLiGn MySeLf WiTh YoU." I glared at the corrupted skeleton in front of me. "dOn't FoRgEt ThAt I bElIeVe YoU'rE a GlItCh JuSt LiKe ThE rEsT oF tHeM."
Nightmare's tentacles lashed out at me. "You will not speak to me with such disrespect."
I blocked the appendages with my strings. "yOu WiLl NoT lIe To Me BeCaUsE yOu WaNt My LoYaLtY. i HaTe MaKiNg PrOmIsEs BuT i HaTe BeInG lIeD tO eVeN mOrE. yOu'Ll TeLl Me WhO tHaT sKeLeToN wAs Or I'M oUt Of HeRe. FoR gOoD."
Nightmare retracted his tentacles and stared at me. "You have some balls to go against me like this."
"iT'S aBoUt TiMe SoMeOnE iN tHiS dUmP gReW a PaIr."
"The kid was a trespasser and a threat to our mission."
"He's JuSt A kId. HoW cOuLd He PoSsIbLy Be A tHrEaT tO tHe MiSsIoN?" Nightmare stayed quiet.
"Just get to the throne room. I'm calling an emergency meeting."
"nO, NoT uNtIl YoU tElL mE wHaT'S gOiNg On." I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was the glitch. She leaned in close and whispered in my non-existent ear something I never thought I'd hear.
"He's your son."

Jammy's Point of View
My thoughts were filled with fear as I stumbled throughout the dome. It was filled with floating pieces of paper. There must have been hundreds, maybe even thousands and they all held such beautiful drawings. But I couldn't appreciate the artwork right now. I had to find him. I had to find the one called Ink.
It wasn't long before I heard voices. One was especially loud for a place that wasn't supposed to echo. I made my way towards them as fast as I could without tripping on my own two feet.
Unfortunately for me, I'm not that lucky. I fell on one of my arms and a sickening crunch noise filled the air. The voices stopped and I could hear footsteps fast approaching. I could feel both my soul and my pain pounding through my bones.
"There's someone here! A kid!" A high pitched voice yelled out. The footsteps quickened at the comment. Soon I felt three presences surrounding me. I lifted my head as best I could and looked at those who were interested in me.
The smallest one was on his knees and reaching a hand out to me. He was wearing a blue and grey battle body and looked like he was ready for a fight. His aura radiated a mix of child like ambition and mature action.
There were two taller skeletons flanking the small one. One was clad in yellow, also looking ready for battle. There was a golden crown atop his skull, a sash around his neck that flowed into a cape and a glowing bow in his hand. His aura was made up of positivity and it certainly made me feel safe in this white void.
The last skeleton was clad in brown, save for the blue jacket wrapped around his waist. He wore a sash of yummy looking paint and a big paint brush on his back. The aura around him radiated maturity. They were trying to talk to me but I couldn't hear them. My consciousness was fading fast from hunger and with the added bonus of my broken arm. I didn't want them to leave me here, even though I doubted they would.
"Help..." I heard myself croak. "Need...to find... Ink..." That was all I could do before the darkness enveloped me.
