Fixing Errors

Chapter seventeen

(So over the past 8-9 months, the times I did write, I found it a lot nicer when I wrote in point of views, so for the rest of this story it's going to be in point of view rather than third person.
This chapter's POV  will be Reboot's. I hope you still like it!)

I laid in the grass. The wind was steadily brushing across my face and making the grass flow in its beautiful little waves that I found so lovely to watch.
However in this moment I could not find that comfort in the breeze, I could only feel the tons of guilt and stress from the past days.
I caused my best friends injury by telling someone to commit suicide. I ruined people's views on me. I was suddenly not the person gasped at when I walked into a crowd. I was treated like any other person. Any other person living their life in their homes. They don't see me as the saviour of the universe.
News spreads like fire here, someone had heard what I had said to Eraser and someone else had witnessed the fight. Those two views on me, as soon as what they saw escaped their mouths, it went falling out of others and spreading like fire does on dry grass.
The news was everywhere.
No one said anything to me, they'd only stare. They'd stare with eyes that showed their overwhelming mixed feelings about me. They appreciated their saviour of the Multiverses, yet they were terrified of someone who goes behind everyones backs and tells people to kill themselves.
Only four days had passed since the fight. I wasn't the praised hero anymore, it was now Lucy being asked if he was okay and babied over.
Only in half a week me and Lucy had completely switched lives. I was merely just thanked. Lucy was now the hero.
After Lucy was stabbed, of course he got it healed, then he attacked his brother and located Eraser and ordered them with law to never show themselves in this universe again. I only sat at the side, Lucy didn't let me fight. Even Lucy had mixed feelings about me.
His own words to me; "I hate them too, but telling anyone to kill themselves is wrong. You say yourself to everyone. You fight to keep them safe, but you'll never kill. You've got to get so low to do what you did."
Lucy was always noticed in public now, I would be shoved out of the way by people so that they can talk to him.
I wanted to just feel normal, but yet I really couldn't. I had no place to go.
I had Lucy's place to stay at... However, the atmosphere was no longer friendly now. Even my own son was wary around me.
I had enough of my overthinking, I was too focused on how fucked up my life had become.
I sat up and looked around the empty field. It was rather dull now, the flowers were wilting. They sky became rather grey. The grass didn't have the vibrant green I always admired... The world had become... Grey.
I stood, I wasn't going to think about this much anymore, I didn't want to think about this anymore.
I let myself disappear into the world of which all the multiverses were connected.
I was weightless here, I floated above the ground, watching every little paper was hanging from a sting that came from nowhere.
I had my eyes on my universe, my home universe. The one where I had friends and family. Should I even call them that anymore? I'm pushed away by all of them.
The idea of taking the paper and ripping it apart crossed my mind. I could find somewhere else to reset and try again... A reset.. God I wish that could work.
Lucy basically held me at gunpoint to save after he forced Eraser and Marvul to leave.
He didn't want me to go back and do anything else, he wants me to face my punishment that I deserve.
I shook my head, I wanted that thought to leave.
I'm not ripping my home. I'm destroying innocent people. I wasn't created for that.
Instead, I wandered.
I wandered until I didn't recognize any of the papers around me... New aus? Or have I been too attached to the section I loved.
I looked at the few papers before hearing a voice.
"Get the hell away from those!"
I whipped around and found.. Eraser?
No... It can't be him, he looks friendlier.
As I stared with confusion, I realized the other was staring with the exact same expression.
We stared for the longest and most awkward time. The other was the one to break it.
"Who are you?" He asked as he wielded an incredibly oversized paintbrush in my direction.
"I'm Reboot. Who are you?"
"I'm Ink, the creator and protector of this place!" He said with a rather confident and snooty tone.
After another awkward moment he spoke again. "You don't know me?"
"No sir." I spoke.
"Huh, you must be new! I don't remember feeling your presence appear, but! Hello! Welcome! I'm Ink!" He offered his hand to me.
I laughed awkwardly.. "You.. You said your name already,sir. But, I've lived as long as the coding of this place has existed. Probably longer than you. I protect the Coding and the AU's.."
"Coding? Huh.. Wait.. Yes! I've heard of you! The, uh... What is it.." He started to snap his finger as he tried to think.
"Alter? No.. You're..Swap! The swap!" He said with a hop of excitement.
He started to squeal as if he met his favourite celebrity. "Your the swap of Error! Ooh!!! I love your scarf! How'd you make it so shiny!?" He said as he grabbed my scarf and rubbed it against his cheek.
"I was made with it, sorry sir, I don't know."
"Stop calling me sir! Ink! My name is Ink! Ooh!! Do you have multiple tongues or just one?" He asked as he got much to close for my comfort.
"Eh? What?"
"Aw man, I hoped you had more."
"Ink, I don't understand what's happening."
"Ooh! Can you show me your home? I want to see your people! Ooh! What's your Ink like? I want to meet your Ink!"
I pushed Ink away and almost fell back. I felt way too overwhelmed with this, I didn't like having people this close anymore.
"My.. Ink, he's not a nice person, and we don't really have the best relationship right now."
Ink took my arm and started to trot in the direction I came from. "I want to meet your friends then!"
I didn't have an excuse to not do that, so, reluctantly followed and led him to my paper and took him to my world.
He went insane as soon as he touched the ground, he hopped around squealing until he.. Threw up paint? At this point I didn't even want to question this, he was so.,,weird.
I didn't understand him and just sat back and watched him frolic and squeal over the grass until he asked to meet people.
I lead him into the village where people stared at me and the newcomer.
As soon as an eye would touch him he was somehow their best friend, I swear to god, he talked to everyone we passed.
A few times I was ready to walk away, but I didn't and led him to Lucy's place.
Halluciv was outside, he saw me coming and stood straight up watching me.
Ink was more than happy to run up and introduce himself, which Halluciv shared that enthusiasm and they seemed like besties already.
Ink kept calling him then swap nightmare which I didn't understand.
After awhile of being here I suggested to Ink we find somewhere else to explore, I didn't want to be around someone who hated me anymore.
But as I was about to try and leave, this okay day was stopped.
"Ink, be careful with him, he is just about as bad as Eraser."
I didn't know whether to attack him or cry.  Eraser did something horrible to me and now I'm being told I'm like him... Is this truly what people think of me now?
"What do you mean? He's sweet!" Ink replied to Halluciv.
"I don't think someone who lies and tells people to kill themselves is considered sweet."
There is was, the loss of trust to another person, I wasn't going to wait for Ink to respond to this, I got out of their sight, I ran. I ran and disappeared to the papers and ran.
I needed away from that attention and hate.
I went through papers until I heard the voices I wanted to hear.
They were teasing each other about something, but I didn't care to listen, I put myself right in the midst of them and stared as they fell silent.
"Wow, You look like a mess." Marvul mocked me.
"I'd like to say you look worse." I spat in response.
"Come to finish off what my brother did, sweetheart? Did you come to tell us to die?"
"No, I know I did something terrible. I can't be forgiven and I've become an enemy."
"Then why are you here? Why are you not scared?"
"I haven't been scared of you for a long time. I'm here for a favour."
"What do you want?"
"I want you to kill me."
