Dessert not Desert

Part 5

Nightmare POV
Returning with the one I now know as Error I come to see that everything is...well...colorfull to say the least. Error told me the small white skeleton is Cross. What a strange name.

Seems as though Cross decided it was nice to decorate the camp. Flowers where laced with the thorns on the cage and my hut had flowers stuck to it. Flower petals littered the ground as Cross threw more flowers at my hut.

"May I ask how did you get all these flowers?" Cross seemed startled at my voice. "I went out and picked some." I only hum in response. I walk towards Cross and wrap my arms around him in a tight embrace.

I snuggle my face in the crook of his neck again. He smells like berries. Almost makes me want to eat him in which I could. Error pulls me off of him a light blush tenting his cheeks. Why did he pull me away? I was only enjoying the berry smell.

I look at Cross. He looks like he is about to faint. I whine a bit before walking off. Hm I need to find a way to recreate that berry scent.

Through out the day Cross and Error have been talking. Now that Cross knows that the tail and ears of this thing can move he always makes a jump for it to touch it. Rather annoying but adorable neither the less.

Cross seems to enjoy the rain forest. He will need to learn to use his powers soon though. I'll train him starting tomorrow. We can't slack off now that my plan is set in stone.

No telling when the others will become brave enough to come here to try to throw me back into that awful realm they sealed me into. The feeling of seeing people and not say anything or seeing color can drive someone mad.

No wonder the souls there are always so sad or angry. I was lucky enough to keep my sanity. Im yanked out of my thoughts as Cross messes with my tail. With a sigh I get up and move it away.

"Your oddly childish." I say with no hurtful intent. Cross only gave a slight hmph in responce. He sat back in his seat next to Error. I look up at the sky. I do miss seeing my brother.

Closing my eyes I listen to the songs of owls and crickets. Nature is such a beautiful thing. Cross seems to have already fallen asleep. I found out that Cross snores in his sleep the first night he came here.

Error talks in his sleep. He talks of....questionable...subjects. To say the least. I miss having company around. Animals aren't as fun to conversate with as actual people who can answer your questions.

Speaking of questions I'll have to find out how much things changed in the morning. Surely it isnt worse than before. I slowly start to drift asleep.
