He's Just "Tired..."

~26~

After a few hours, Ink woke up and did a quiet yawn, stretching as he was still a bit tired after having fallen asleep from being petted by Error. He looked around a bit, seeing if Error happened to still be there. Unfortunately, Error had left, so Ink was alone again. Ink let out a soft whimper as he didn't really want to be alone, but when he heard footsteps, his ears perked up. He quickly glanced around to see if it was Error. But when he saw it was Nightmare, he trembled badly and tried to find a place to hide. 

Of course, he didn't want Nightmare to find him. Who knows what might happen if Nightmare finds him? He manages to hide somewhere, only to feel his body go back to the way his disguise had looked, rather than him being a wolf now. Great. Now it could be easier for Nightmare to find him like this. Ink tried to stop himself from trembling, but that was nearly impossible. His heart felt like it was racing, and he felt like passing out. No. He couldn't afford to pass out now. He had to stay awake. He just had to. But for some reason, he was starting to feel very tired. It was getting progressively more challenging for him to keep his eyes open. Why was he so suddenly tired?... Ink leaned slightly against a nearby tree in his hiding spot, barely able to stand up. And before he knew it, he had passed out.

Unfortunately for Ink, while Ink had been passed out, Nightmare happened to have found Ink. Of course, he was actually worried when he saw Ink was unconscious. After all, why wouldn't he be worried about his soon to be Queen? Nightmare gently picked Ink up, carrying Ink bridal style back to Nightmare's castle. He would be making sure Ink was well taken care of for now. So, chances are, it will be nearly impossible for Ink to escape now. 

When Ink woke up, he saw he was on Nightmare's surprisingly comfortable bed. Nightmare of course, wasn't in the room, but to ensure that Ink couldn't escape this time, Ink's wrists were handcuffed to the bed. Ink whimpered a bit in fear as he saw and felt his wrists were both handcuffed to the metal bedframe. He glanced around, trying to see if there were any way he could escape from this, but escape would be impossible this time. Nightmare was really set on having Ink as his Queen.

In Ink's opinion, he hated every minute of this. It was honestly terrifying to him. The thought of marrying Nightmare was something Ink feared more than nearly anything else. After all, if he marries Nightmare... Then he won't be able to date Error. He felt as tears began to roll down his cheeks as countless thoughts filled his mind. What would Nightmare do to him once they're married? Would Nightmare actually be nice to him? Would Nightmare torture him? Would Nightmare force Ink to carry a child for him so that Nightmare would have an heir to the throne? Ink didn't know. And the fact he didn't know is what scared him the most. But for now, all he could do was lay there and accept his fate, awaiting the day Nightmare was going to make him marry Nightmare...
