Mr. Erratum

Chapter Thirty-Four

Horror, who was now fully healed, sat at school, half-listening to Mr. Geno sleepily talk about something that was about the human body, and how to use chemicals to blow something up. It was now November, and he had been living with Erratum for just under two months. 

Corpse Carnage was found in a week, hiding with one of his drinking buddies. His trial was done a week later, where he was found guilty of child abuse, abuse to a minor, homicide, and attempted murder. His father would die in prison, and he would never have to see him again.

Horror smiled, his life was better than it has ever been in nearly a decade, and it was all thanks to a strange, kind man from another universe, who was their homeroom teacher. The thought made Horror chuckle, it sounded like something from a fantasy story, like something from the stories he used to read to his younger brother.

Horror then thought back to the other God, Pigment. 'he was named Ink when we first saw him, wasn't he?' Horror thought. Horror frowned, Finding it strange that pigment, was another version of Mr. Ink. 'Well' he thought, 'It's our experiences that make us, I guess' he thought. As you could maybe tell, Horror didn't really... like Pigment.

It wasn't that he didn't like him, it was more that he made Horror feel uneasy. Something was different about him, Horror could tell, but, he decided he wasn't going to act on his instincts.

Horror was suddenly out of his thoughts when the door slammed open, so hard that the door shook. Mr. Geno, who must of had a little more sleep last night than usual, notice the noise and looked up at the boy in confusion, "uh, hello?" Mr. Geno asked, looking at the strange kid. 

Horror looked at him, taking in his appearance. He was strange looking, he wasn't ugly, he was actually rather beautiful, but he looked strange. He was a skeleton, definitely, but Horror knew  skeletons didn't have hair. The skeleton and something else hybrid had almost glowing purple eyes, and his hair (which Horror thought looked strange, and should not be able to stay on his head) Was a similar colour, but slightly see-through. He had a long, ratty purple hoodie on, With the hood on his head, and some black trousers (which were also rather old looking). 

"hey, i'm the new transfer" The skeleton said, "My names Emilio, Emilio Bytte" He told the teacher, in a soft-spoken, tired voice (Horror thought it sounded Emo as hell). Horror looked over to the person sitting next to him, who was killer, "Bytte?" He muttered. Killer then shook his head, as if he thought of something that was stupid. 

Mr. Geno nodded, "we have a transfer?" He muttered (rather loudly) to himself. The kid, Emilio, rolled his eyes in a slightly condescending way, before passing Horror, most likely to sit at the back. Horror frowned as Emilio passed him, 'why.. why does he..?' Horror thought, 'why does he smell like smoke?' He asked himself.

Emilio, as Horror soon found out, was very... quiet. Horror shook his head, that wasn't right. Emilio hadn't spoken to anyone, other then Horror himself (Horror was still confused on why he came into school half way through the day), but he wasn't shy. Or at least, shy looking. Yes, he was very soft spoken, but he glared at anyone he looked at him, no matter how discrete you were being, 'he must be part ninja, that's why he looks weird' Horror joked to himself. 

Horror was no longer in Science class, and was now In Music with Mr. Dream.

Music class was one of the few classes he had without any of his friends, so, he usually sat alone, playing whatever instrument they were learning. Emilio, along with science, was also in his Music one. And, seeing as Horror didn't have a partner, Mr. Dream decided to Put Emilio right next to him. 

Emilio didn't say anything, as he sat on the chair next to Horror. Horror gave Emilio a weak smile, "Hello Emilio, my names Horror" Horror greeted. Emilio gave him a small smile, "Hello Horror, you have a nice name" He told him. 

It turned out that Emilio liked to compliment people, a lot. "Really? you do?" Horror asked in surprise, more from getting a compliment than the actual compliment itself, "Yours is nice, Emilio.. isn't that a Spanish name?" Horror asked. He didn't really mean to say that, apparently it could be considered rude, if you got it wrong anyway, "yeah, mi madre named me" It went silent again, but it wasn't as awkward as before.

"You excited for a certain lesson? I love sewing, but I think that's got more to do with the teacher than anything" Horror rambled. Emilio made a small laugh, "yeah, I'm looking forward to the cooking lessons" Emilio replied. Horror's eyes widened, "oh? you can cook? are you good at it?" Horror asked, excited about the topic of food. Emilio blushed a slight purple bashfully, "uh, yeah I guess i'm good, mi padre said it runs in the family" Emilio told him. Horror grinned, "really? do you come from a long line of famous chefs?" Horror asked jokingly (though, he actually a bit curious) Emilio gave a small chuckle, "no, I'm afraid not, Mi padre said that my uncle was a great chef" Replied Emilio. Horror frowned, "you never met your uncle? did he?" Horror asked, Emilio shook his head quickly, "No, no, no! él no está muerto!" Emilio quickly stated, "uh, I mean, he isn't dead, he... just got fed up with mi padre and left, doesn't even know I exist" Emilio told him.

Horror decided he liked the new student. Emilio looked like someone who you know you shouldn't wake up, other wise they'll kill you, but was an actual softie. Don't get Horror wrong, he knew from the glares Emilio shot everyone while they were talking that he wasn't a push over, but he wasn't as bad as he looked. 

For one, when Emilio slipped Spanish words into his sentences accidently, he would apologise profusely for saying a word he didn't understand (Horror found It very cute). Horror gathered that, while Emilio knew how to speak fluently in English, he hasn't needed to speak in it for a while.  

Emilio was weird, Horror decided, but he definitely wanted to be friends with him.

1066 WORDS

A/N Hey! another chapter, I'm on a roll! 

Anyway, I think you've all gathered the dots on who Emilio is (hopefully anyway) and have some kind of idea on what this next 'arc' is going to be about.

I need to clear this up though before anyone jumps to conclusions, It's not Emilio x Horror, just in case you were worrying. It's still Horror x Killer, i haven't changed my mind.

I am thinking on pairing up Emilio with someone though, but i got to think about it.

Tell me if the Spanish words are annoying, I don't think they are, (since they're only simple comments that Emilio will bashfully repeat in English, and the mi madre and mi padre, which both mean mum and dad)  but if they are, i'll try to refrain from typing it too often.

And I want your opinions on this, but I'm thinking on making a Mr. Erratum one-shot book? Like, chapters that show you some More parts about the characters and other things you wouldn't know unless I directly told you? do you think it's a good idea?

Also, if any of you speak Spanish, did i use the words correct? I don't actually know any Spanish, since I'm learning French, so I'd be grateful if you corrected me :)

Anyway, see you next chapter,

Crimson.
