Precious (Dreamtale and Cream ship fanfic)

Save Him!

Dream was cuddling up to his mate as Nightmare was still in fear coma. The poison really took effect. He still screamed and whined and acted paranoid. 

"Precious..." he heard a voice say. The snake chuckled and hissed. 

"No, please, no..." Nightmare whimpered. 

"Your precious..." he slithered and coiled himself around Nightmare.

"STOP! PLEASE!" he wailed.

The mirror surrounded him with his past memories. He felt the weight of his crimes. 

"PLEASE!" He screamed. 

Dream heard Nightmare's cry, and his brother's bond just couldn't let him alone, so he ran.

He ran for it.

"Dream! Wait!" 

"Please, help me..." Nightmare whined and curled up. 

"Nightmare!" Dream went and hugged him. 

"Dream!" Cross ran and tried to restrain him. 

"Nightmare?" he asked. He didn't respond.

"Little one." a voice rang in his head.

"What?" Dream asked.

"Hello, my friend." the snake smiled. 

"What do you want?" the yellow prince asked. 

"Your brother." he grinned. The purple prince was wrapped in the mirror. 

"STRIKE! Hit him!" a voice cried. "BROTHER!"

CRUNCH.

Nightmare collapsed onto the floor.

"He's scared of himself. Why else did you think he wants to die?" the snake slithered around and let him go. 

"Hehe..." Nightmare giggled feverishly. The snake went for him.

"NO!"

"Dream...?" Nightmare was a blur. His brother yelled: "SNAKE IF YOU WANT A SNACK, COME FOR ME!"

"Very well."

"DreAM... DREAM..." came the cries.

"Brother?" the little skel lay there, waiting for it.

"Can't... can't get... to..." he gasped, trying to reach him.

"Brother! Stop!" he could say no more.

A low hiss was heard.

"Oh, but little one, you are why he could hold on... Oh little one, I've been waiting for eons to find such a tasty snack." said the voice.

"Please... No..." the prince's eyesockets went black as the beast snapped. 

Blood.

Blood everywhere.

Wait... that's not blood.

"Huh?"

Dream looked at the red mess. It was... ketchup?

Lynx giggled and cried: "EAT THAT SNAKE!" 

"How-" "Easy, I hugged Nightmare." Lynx threw another bottle of ketchup on the floor.  "ARGH!" the serpent was angry. "LYNX!" he snapped at her.

She dodged. 

(Sans: MY KETCHUP!!!)

Red dribbled on the floor as more and more ketchup flowed. 

"Ah!" Lynx had a plan. She smothered ketchup everywhere and on them all. She ordered them to play dead.

"Hah, like you ca-" the snake paused, looked at them, and got a shock.

"They died...?" he frowned. He left the mindscape and Dream and Lynx got thrown out of the mind.

"That still won't help Nightmare." Dream sighed.

"But look what I have!" she giggled.
