A light in the darkness |Nightmare x reader|

Alert

Dream leaned into the wall of the house Y/n was living in. he had gone over with some supplies for basic human needs and an update of Nightmare status that she might like to her. Killer, Cross, Dust and Error had been spotted less and less around the multiverse. If this continued she didn't have to hide away and find a permanent safe house inn the multiverse. Dropping in and talking to her had become a part of his normal daily routine. Always finding comfort and joy in chatting with her. Feeling growing a little each time he was with her. Eyes slowly closing to relax in the sunlight. it would be a perfect place to take a small nap while waiting, but for some reason he couldn't. an uncomfortable feeling crept over Dream and it made him feel angsty.

His feet would start twitching, the same with his arm. small beads of sweat rolling down his skull. a chill suddenly ran down his spine and the need to stand up ran through him. walking at the moment he stood and following the thin path around the humans house. the soft warm breeze, singing birds, colorful flowers, lovely view or the soft smell of something sweet wasn't enough to calm him down. Every step just raised the weird feeling that was falling over him. Feeling like he was going insane if- "DREAM!" the panic voice of blue broke him for going a fifth time around. turning around to the the distressed skeleton running up to him. "ARE ...ARE Y/N HERE?" Dreams soul sunk further. "no. Blue, Did anything happen?" his hands loosely grabbed Blues shoulders to ground the two of them. The eye light of the hyper skeleton shrunk at the other ones statement. hand running over his head while looking at the ground.

"I LOST SIGHT OF HER" his voice was shaken up while he reenact what happened. "WE WERE OVER IN MY AU AGAIN AND ... AND WE WERE WALKING AROUND IN WATERFALL THAN... THEN SHE...SHE...SHE WAS GONE!" tears ran down Blues face "I'M NO GOOD PROTECTING ANYONE! WHO WILL SHE EVER TRUST ME AGAIN AFTER I LET HER GET CAPTURED? WHO CAN I EVER CALL MYSELF A ROYAL GUARD AFTER THIS?!" He had become an emotional mess in front of his friend. Dream could just feel his soul sink more.'Is this the reason the AUs became more safe all of the sudden... my brother got what he wanted?' Dream pondered to himself while trying to come up with the best action to take."we need to inform Ink then get make a plan" Blue nodded and wiped his tears away. a few still fell from his eyes but at least it wasn't a waterfall anymore.

"What AU did you lose her in Blue?" Ink asked after he had gotten the story. "OUTERTALE" there was silent again between them and new tears forming in the corner of Blues eyes. Ink had is eyes closed while going over his options and coming up with a plan. "Do you know who took her?" Blue quickly shook his head "SHE WAS THERE ONE MOMENT THEN GONE THE NEXT. I RAN BACK TO SEE IF I COULD SPOT HER. I WENT TO FIND ONE OF YOU WHEN I ENTERED OUT IN SNOWDIN AGAIN WITHOUT FINDING HER" Ink hummed and mumbled something to himself. Dream stood in silent while trying his best to find out why his brother wanted this human so much. Completely blocking out the discussion that happen in front of him.

Did they know each other back in Dreamtale? that couldn't be the case. Still knowing the face and name of everyone he knew back in the day. Dreams pretty sure his Brother would have told him if he had gotten a friend. his brother was always alone. going into the forest to read for what he could only imagine was privacy. Remembering all the times he had tried to get his brother to come with him to play with some of his new friend. Nightmare had this power to always get him agree with him instead and let him go read in the forest. Maybe there's something special about her. maybe she's a powerful mage he need for something? Maybe he needed her magic to do something. maybe make something powerful.the possibilities are endless.

"We will stalk on of them until they lead us to their hideout. each one of us will follow the first one we spot and report back when they find Nightmares castle. Then we will make a new plan to save Y/n" Dream began to focus on the conversation again. Blue nodded determined before going through a portal. "Any ideas why your brother wants her?" Ink asked when the were just the two of them. "no. I'm sorry but i have never seen or heard of her before we rescued her." Ink sighed. "Do you even think see was from Dreamtale?" now it was Dreams turn to nods determined. "I have never seen her in another AU before, and I saw recognition in her eyes when we first meet" Looking over at Ink made him see the skeleton lost in thought. blank expression while the gears were turning in his head to find every possibility. Dream really hoped they could save her before something horrible happens to her.
