Fallen (ErrorInk)

Chapter 12: And Never Found

Eventually, the rain stopped, and the four skeletons were able to carefully make it back down the muddy trail.

  Now you must be wondering, "But that last chapter was titled 'Lost' and yet no one was lost, so was the title a lie?"

  And the answer to that question is no, the title last chapter was perfectly accurate, because someone was lost that very same day.

-=Nightmare's POV=-

  "Why the heck did you guys wanna go to the lake?!" I hissed as Horror grinned at me.

  "Because, we wanted to go swimming." A purple-eyed skeleton replied, walking up behind horror propping their chin on his shoulder.

  "Who the heck are you?!" I hissed again.

  "Oh yeah, meet my lovely Lust. He goes to a different school then us, but he wanted to come along, and of course I had to let him come. This IS my idea after all." Horror responded.

  "Ooooooo! Horror's got a boyfriend!~" Dust teased.

  "Ooooo, Dust's got no one!" Horror lashed back.
 
  "Ah love meh self! Dats all I need!" Dust said, hugging himself.

  "You are both idiots..." I grumbled as I sat down on the ground a good ways away from the edge of the lake.

  Killer sat down next to me, digging around in his pocket for something.

  "You aren't going to swim?" I raised an 'eye brow' at him.

  He simply shook his head as he pulled out a sheathed knife.

  "Do you seriously carry that around everywhere?- HOI! DON'T YOU GUYS DARE SPLASH AT ME OR IM DUSTING ALL OF YOU IDIOTS!!" I screeched at the three other skeletons that were now in the lake, scooting even further away from the water's edge.

  Killer chuckled before nodding, "Yeah, it's my prized possession, my lighter being my second prized possession."

  "You're weird"

  "Says the guy covered in mysterious goop with tentacles sprouting from his back." He again chuckled, "Anyways, imma go practice with my knife. Screech if I'm not back before you guys wanna leave."

  "Yeah, Sure, Sure." I said, staring at the lake ensuring that if I got even a droplet of water on me I would know who did it so I could strangle them in their sleep.

~Tem Skip~

  "No, no touching me, you're still covered in water. DUST I SWEAR OF YOU TOUCH ME YOU'LL DIE BEFORE YOU FINISH HIGH-SCHOOL!!" I screeched at Dust, who decided that it would be a good idea to try and touch me as soon as he got out of the water.

  "I swear, you're exactly like a cat..." The skeleton known as Lust giggled.

  I hissed as a Dust flicked some water on me, "YOU  I D I O T. THAT HURTS YOU KNOW!!" I screeched again before hopping up, my tentacles twitching, ready to turn Dust into his name at any moment.

  "Sorry!!" Dust yelled, dodging to the side as one of my tentacles stuck down, "I'm to young to die! Please! Have mercy!!"

  "Oi, Nightmare, stop trying to kill Dust. If he dies then whose gonna mess with the electricity on our little scare-trips." Horror said, "Anyways, I think it would be a good time to go, it looks like a storm's coming."

  "Fine, fine." I glared at Dust as he raised his hands in surrender, "Just lemme get Killer. KILLER!!!!" I yelled.

  Nothing.

  "Pfft, uh, nightmare, you okay?" Horror laughed.

  "Killer told me to screech for him, uh..." I stated, slightly embarrassed, "I guess I'll just call him..."
