Can't You Listen?

Chapter 8

      Error stared at the bright dots that scattered about the darkness above. It's weird how we believe that chunk of rocks can give so many people emotions and hope in a strange yet beautiful way. Stars sure are magnificent on their final days. 

       He scanned the stars and area. He couldn't shake the feeling that today his wonderful days would be cut short. Error hummed a flat tune. It never changed to form a beat or anything, it sounded like it was alone. If another tune joined in perhaps it would make music? Was that what he was waiting for? Some company? Ink almost gave him company, but he was busy tackling Error to the ground. 

          "Let me go!" Error shouted. It was odd, hearing him of all people sound demanding. "Let me go!" He sounded panicked.

     Ink gripped his wrists together as he formed chains around them. Then Error felt it. He tried to hold back a whimper but failed. Ink froze, thinking he actually made the Destroyer scared. What neither of them knows is that Error was actually feeling the end. He screamed once more for Ink to let him go. He didn't want another! 

      "Let me go! Let me go! Everyone is going to die! Let me go!" He repeated as Ink dragged him through a portal. He was brought to the currently shocked and concerned council people. Error barely noticed as he continued to struggle against Inks' tightening grip. He couldn't use magic. He couldn't fight. He can't save them! He can't get free!

      "Ink bro, what you be doing? Why he be here?" Fresh surprisingly was the one who asked. 

     "He was in Outertale, I have reason to believe he was plotting to destroy the Au"

       "On what evidence?" Geno asked. It seems like only 3 people, maybe 4, are trying to defend him out of the near 30 or more Sanses in the room. 

    "Ink I swear! Let me go! There isn't much time left!" Error once more shouted. He let out another whimper when that feeling came once more. It was growing stronger. It was developing more threatening with each passing second. Ink only yanked him in front of him.

       "Why else would he be in an Au? He's the Destroyer for a reason you two" Ink sighed. He felt error's struggles began to weaken. Perfect, he was tiring himself out! Who knew it would be this easy? Again.

   Geno and Fresh started to realize just what Error was yelling. It was happening already? So soon? They haven't got the resources to fix the aftermath! With a silent look from each other and already a plan was set.

       "Fresh....you did something to no, he did something to you!" Geno shouted accusingly to him. Fresh held his ground. 

       "What are you yapping about G bro? I hardly know the kid!" Ah, gotta love petty distractions. 

     Blue manages to sneak past everyone as he hides behind Ink, right next to Error.

        He uses his own magic to weaken the paint and pries it off his wrist. Ink only then realizes what was going on.

     "Blue! What are you doing?" Ink grabbed Blue's arm, giving Error the opening to bolt out of there. The pain continuously growing. He couldn't use his magic when he was out of focus this horribly, in his panic state hardly taking in his surroundings. 

    Corner after corner he made himself lost and confused. Multiple halls and shouts out for him. He was going to regret his choice soon, wasn't he? He ran down the hall to his left. So many doors leading to people's rooms, maybe he could hide in one? The corridor ends and splits to the left, right, or down. He chooses to go down, it would take them longer to get to him.
