#Chapter 7

(Last time on Connected)

He to walked off to where Horror went but before going into the room he turned to Error and motion for him to come. Error followed, mostly in the fear in what they would do if he didn't. 'This day just became more confusing' all he could think was 'why didn't they hurt me?' and 'why did they react the way they did when they found out I couldn't eat?'. All he could do now was wait to find out...he still needed to find he shirt and jacket after all.

(Annnnd this is long overdue)

(Error POV)

Error followed Dust into the strange smelling room. It smelt nice, he looked around seeing lots of benches along the walls and one right in the middle. There were two big metal boxes, one tall and one small. He was cautious of the two others, walking wide around them to go touch the tall metal box. Error opened it to find many strange items, he tilted his head and picked up an orange stick with green leafy things hanging off of it 'is it some kind of tree?' He thought to himself not noticing the watchful stares.

(Horrors POV)

'How fucking dare Ink starve this poor skeleton, who the fuck doesn't let someone eat for 20 fucking years' he growled quietly to himself in order to not scare the dark skeleton. He watched as the other explored the kitchen in a way that looked as if he hadn't before.

"Error, was it?"

He paused as he watched the taller nod stiffly before he continued.

"Do you know where we are right now?"

He gestured his hand around the room hoping his theory was wrong. Error looked around the room and at all the things inside of it then shook his head, Horrors soul sank at the knowledge, then sighed.

"This room, is a kitchen, it's where you keep food. Error, I'm going to ask again and I don't want you to think about how you usually eat or when you last did, do you want more food?"

(Errors POV)

'Why are they insisting I eat, are they trying to poison me?' He thought to himself but that was quickly finished from thought. He instead began thinking about the red soup that Nightmare and Cross gave him, it was the best thing he could remember trying and he wanted more. Error looked to his feet.

"Y-Yeah I would like more food...please"

It surprised him when he looked up to see Horror getting up and walking to towards the big metal box 'it really wasn't a trick was it?' Slowly all doubts were leaving him. After a moment of mental debate, he decided to take a leap and sat down next to Dust, much to the others surprise.

(No one's POV)

When Horror returned to Error with a bowl of fruit and before Error could ask as to what it was, he pointed to it and said fruit, stopping any potential confusion. Dust and Horror remembered Nightmares warning about Error eating the bowl last time he fed himself so they both grabbed a price of fruit and took turns giving it to Error, which in their surprise he had no qualms eating. It gave them pride knowing the skeleton could trust them like no one other than the gang ever would.

After Error ate the entire bowls worth the two watched as his eyes lidded, they took it as he was tired.

Dust: "Error is it ok for me to pick you up and take you back to your room to lay down?"

He didn't want Error to freak out like the last time he wasn't asked to be touched. A smile stretched across Dusts face when Error nodded and lifted his arms to reach for the former. Error wasn't heavy for his size, much to Dusts concern. Horror followed in toe behind Dust as they made their way back to the room allocated to Error while he stayed with them in the castle.

Once they set Error into bed, he had all but passed out. They sat in the chairs next to the bed and waited for Nightmare to return to discuss the plan for Error further as they all shared the same desire in protecting this neglected God.

(Nightmares POV)

Killer: "Sir, why do you have bags of clothes?"

While I was out, Killer and Cross had accompanied me. It had occurred to me that Error had no other clothing besides what he had on him minus the jacket which was getting cleaned and the shirt which was torn and stain with marrow and blood. So, I grabbed dark shirts and shorts, even a few pairs of shoes.

"They are for our new resident skeleton killer; we can't have him walk around naked now can we"

I opened a portal to the castle and let the other two in first before walking into the safety of the castle and closed the portal. The first thing that Nightmare noticed was how quiet the castle was. His first instinct was to search for any extra presence but quickly settled when he didn't feel any, but he did notice the other three were all in Errors room, which was good because it meant he didn't have to get them all together now. He motioned for Killer and Cross to follow.

When they reached the room, a small smile creeped onto Nightmares face. All three of the boys were sleeping. Error on the bed, Dust with his head At Errors feet and Horror sitting up in the chair. His boys never could sleep peacefully around anyone other than their gang so seeing this made him realise things a must of gone well while he was gone.

He cleared his throat to wake them, which successfully did so.

Dust and Horror: "Evening boss how did the raid go?"

The two chuckled and their sync in words. Then they turned to Error who was quietly watched them from under the blankets.

"Did you sleep well Error? While I was out, I got you some clothing so you can cover yourself up"

Error visibly relaxed but still kept his eyes on Killer who was behind Nightmare.

"It is alright Error, everyone in this room is trust worthy and a member of my team, they will not hurt you"

Error nodded and sat up. Nightmare glanced at all the soft expressions his team were making towards Error and decided then and there they would all look after this dark skeleton and make him one of their own.
