Error POV
We put the kids to bed and were about to leave the room before we heard a knock at the front door.
The only other person we know can get in here is somehow Nightmare.
Ink looked at me, worried.
"I'll deal with it." I whispered.
It was that other skeleton, Eraser I think.
"....find who you were looking fo-"
He hit me, causing me to fall back. Ink was watching and helped me up.
"You lied to me." Eraser said. "Nobody else could've tried to hurt him. Nobody that looks like you."
"Listen I really have no idea what you're talking about! And if you could please keep it down my kids are trying to sleep."
He rolled his eyes and went for another hit. Ink stopped him with her paint brush.
He scowled at her. She kicked him and he fell. Ink took his weapon and actually beat him up pretty bad.
"Stay away from my family you son of a bitch." She said.
And with that she pushed him through a portal.
"...what if he wanted to talk?"
"He didn't."
"I love you."
"I love you to. But we have to talk about what happened."
I sighed
"I know."
We went to our room and laid down together.
"I know that you said it was because of thoughts and voices but... are you sure it isn't something I'm doing wrong?" She asked.
I held her.
"You've done nothing wrong. My head's just fucked up." I replied, smiling at her.
She smiled back, not genuinely but, worriedly.
"I.... I thought that part was over... I know it's been getting worse but you won't talk to me about it."
"Because I don't want you to worry more than you do."
"Honestly I'm more worried because I have no idea what's going on. Please... I-I don't want you to try it again jus tell me what's wrong and I'll do whatever it takes to fix it.."
"What if I don't want you to fix it.... what if I just want you to listen...?"
"Then I'll listen..." She started crying. "Just don't do it again!"
I kissed her.
I can't promise her that I won't try again. But I also don't want her to know my thoughts. They're scary and she's already working far to hard taking care of all three of us.
Ink POV
God what a day. I'm glad that PJ and Gradient don't know how serious it was. But I do.
And It scares me to think he'd try it again. I mean as far as I know this is his second attempt.
I didn't sleep at all that night. I had to make sure he was safe. In the morning I woke him up and had him fallow me downstairs.
Nightmare came to visit surprisingly. Apparently Dream had told him what happened.
He asked to talk to Error so I went upstairs to wake up Pj and Gradient. They were already awake however.
"Mamma, you look tired." Gradient said.
"Yeah."
"I'm fine. What are you two doing?" I asked, sitting down by them.
"We can't tell you! It's secrets!" Pj said.
"Yeah! Seeeecrets." Gradient added.
I smiled.
"Ok. Can you tell me the secret?"
"Noooo! Then it won't be secrets!" Gradient whined.
"I see. What do you want to do today?" I asked.
They looked at each other and shrugged.
"We wanna just stay home wif you and daddy." Pj said.
I gave them some paper and some crayons then went back to Error.
He held me as they talked. I wasn't really listening but he was lecturing Error on how stupid it was to try what he did.
When he left I just looked at Error, he sighed and went into our room. I fallowed him. He seemed confused but he didn't stop me.
I clearly can't let him be alone anymore. I'll have to fallow him everywhere. Everywhere. No acceptions.
