• Nightmare's P.O.V. •

I teleported back to the castle, with everyone in my goopy tentacles except Error ; who had teleported himself back.

I placed Killer, Cross, Dust, and Horror down, earning a sharp pain coming from my other tentacle ; or what was left of it...

I hissed in pain, grabbing hold of my cut off tentacle carefully. However, I was not too worried about it, knowing that it'll regenerate back soon.

Killer took notice of this. "Nightmare are you okay ???" He asked, his voice laced with worry and concern.

I shook my head. "It's fine. It'll regenerate soon. Anyways, you and the others go ahead and rest yourselves or whatever." He nodded slowly and teleported away with the others.

But I felt like I regret making Killer leave so quickly. I have this kind of urge to just tell him to stay, but I can't because...

Feelings make you weak.

"Nightmare ?"

I was suddenly snapped out of my trance. I turned to find Cross there, his knife behind his back as always. "What do you want Cross?" I ask with no emotion like always.

"I came to report an observation of what I saw earlier what happened during the battle." He said, tracing the rim of his huge knife.

I raised a non-existent eye brow. "What have you observed ?" I asked him.

"I observed something off about Killer. You know, when he was battling that Sans from that space themed AU. What's his name again ? I think it was Outer." Cross explained.

My eye widened slightly at hearing this. "Go on..." I was now curious to where this was leading. Maybe it could tell me something about Killer's odd behaviour he's giving off recently.

"Killer looks hesitant when he was left to fight Outer face to face. It seemed as if he didn't wanted to fight him at all. I can tell because I've been watching them from above the tree I was perched in hiding from. They even have each other sweet smiles, and did fake attacks at each other, which explained why there was not even a single scratch evident in both Killer and Outer."

"......"

I was left speechless, trying to cope up with every word Cross had said. Silence filled the room.

"Boss ?" Cross asked in concern, waving his hand in front of mY face. I snapped back to reality.

"Thanks for the report Cross." I simply said and teleported to my room. I had some stuff to think about.

I think I know the answer to my question now... I think...

• Cross's P.O.V. •

Nightmare simply thanked me and then left.

'Welp. That went well... Think he's gone mad ?' Came the voice of Chara.

"Shuddap Chara..." I mumbled to myself and to no one in particular. Only I can see Chara.

'I'm hungry Cross.' Chara whined.

"Hi Hungry, I'm Cross." I joked, snickering a bit.

'Dumbass...' Chara groaned.

"Let's go get some chocolate then." I say.

'ChOcOlAtEeeeEEeEeEE !!!'

I chuckled and walked towards the kitchen.

...

I just thought of something...

I feel guilty for giving Dream that slash on his cheekbone... I'll apologize when we meet again. (Cross you dipsh-)

• Nightmare's P.O.V. •

I teleported to my room, leaving Cross confused back on the throne room.

I glanced around the darkness of my bedroom, which I found very comfortable because it suits my ego very well and since I'm like a nocturnal animal.

I noticed the shattered pieces of the mirror I smashed before we left for Outertale that were still scattered around the Violet carpet.

I sighed and used my magic, lifting up the tiny broken pieces and putting them back together onto the mirror's frame and it looked like brand new.

I sighed deeply, walking towards my bed and sitting on the edge of the dark violet blankets.

Questions had swirled around my mind. Like :

'Was I hearing things right ???'

'Was Cross really telling me the truth ???'

'It can't...'

'Killer couldn't possibly...'

But one question really caught my attention :

"Do they know each other...?"

Silence. An uncomfortable one.

I stared down at the floor, clearly dumbfounded and lost.

I shook my head. "No Nightmare. You should be assuming things... Maybe Cross was just bluffing too much..." I told myself.

Or was he...?

• Killer's P.O.V. •

Nightmare had called us off for the day. We were all tired af, so we teleported our separate ways.

I teleported back to my room. I plopped down on my bed and played games on my phone.

After 10 minutes I got bored. "Immmmmmmm Boooorreeeeeeeddddddd !!!" I whined rolling over and Fall ng off my bed with an "OOF".

A knock sounded through the room. "Killer ???" Someone asked.

I got up with a groan and opened the door to find Horror standing there. "Oh hey Horror, what's up?" I asked.

"We were planning to play Truth or Dare at the lounge room and Error said that he invited his sister (yeah, mah book, mah rules •3•) Neutral Faye over. You wanna join us ?" Horror said.

"Neu ??? She's coming over ? That's great !" You see, Neutral is my best friend cuz she helps me with stuff and I like talking to her and she often comes over to visit us and her brother.

I thought for a moment before nodding. "Yea sure, I got nothing else to do anyway." I replied.

Horror smiled at me. "Come on." I closed my bedroom door, walked out and went with Horror.

I actually thought this day was gonna be fun and interesting, but boy was I wrong...
