A multiverse in ruins

Chapter 2: The Truth

Fallacy's POV

I start to cook up some breakfast for everyone. Today's the Halloween BBQ. It's something a boy named Palette came up with and everyone just went along with. Shino, Dameon and Jasper have been setting up tables outside. Ghastly is making snow decorations. Dream and Cross are supervising them with Ghastly's mentor. Killer is who knows where. Blue, Dust, Ink, Swap!Geno and Reaper are making some food. Encre is with Error, stringing decorations along the nearby trees and rooftops. E!Pap is preparing his book. Swap!Pap is asleep on the couch. X!Chara is hiding his chocolate. Goth is trying to get Geno and S!Reaper to come out, they've been watching the AUs for trouble. Science....is in his lab miles away failing at experiments. I can hear the explosions from here at the kitchen stove. Nightmare is still gone. But that mentor guy has given us hope. He told us what really went down after Nightmare died in that puppet body. Encre and I were so happy to hear this news and thanked him for all that he's done. We've welcomed him into our home and now, he's a good friend of mine already. 

I am making something called burgers as well as pancakes for those brunch people. It's new for me but Ink gave me a recipe book, teaching me what to do before Blue dragged him out.  It ain't so bad.

And to those of you wondering about Encre and I, yes I know you are there. The wall is still broken. Ahem. Encre and I are still good friends. But I keep getting this feeling like something went down that I'm forgetting. It happened most likely while I was under control because that is a complete blur and hurts to think of. Encre has acted odd around me lately.....I've been loving to him nontheless. I love him after all, no matter what he does or says, nor what my mind comes up with. I would just like to hear those words from him too....Nevermind. Focus on cooking.

I hear a door shut. I lean back while flipping the pancakes in a frying pan.

"Hello?"I call

"Hey."Killer says

"Oh, it's you."I say, looking back at the stove as he walks in

"Where's the kiddo?"He asks

"Seems like you ignored him again. He's outside setting up and based on where you came in from, you would have walked right past him. And yes, he's with his mentor."I say

"Ugh, I don't see why he puts so much trust in that guy."He says

"I don't get why you don't."I say

"He doesn't trust me!"He says

"Well, you give him good reasons to be. I mean, I wouldn't trust the person acting hostile and secretive while isolating a kid from everyone. And, you did attack him. Would you trust your attacker?"I say

"That was to see his skills!"He excuses it as

"You made him blind in an eye."I state

"Good! Maybe then he will learn to trust me!"He says

I set the food aside. I sit at the counter and put my hands on the table. I stare him dead in the eyes.

"You have been secretive with all of, Killer. I get you miss Nightmare, but that doesn't excuse your behavior. You can only earn what you give. You haven't given much trust to him, nor any of us, so why should we trust you? Give me a reason to trust you."I say

"I'm trying to keep Ghastly safe."He says

"Interesting, cause that's what we're all doing. He's a kid, not a prisoner. He doesn't know or get what happened to Nightmare. Heck, he thinks that his dad just went on a little job run, something you seem to be doing lately quite often. Put yourself in his shoes, Killer. Imagine being a kid and the person you look up to and depend on just had to go. Then, the person closest to them that you trusted kept mysteriously disappearing, keeping secrets and isolating you from those you love and care about as well. In a situation like this, wouldn't you want to be free? Able to visit those people? You would, I know you. And then, imagine after months of this, a new person comes along, being sent from the person you look up to, offering to train you and help you. Something needed right now for you. You accept it. But the secretive one goes hostile and tries to isolate you from that to. Take it away from you. How would you feel? And then, witness your mentor get beaten and blinded by that hostile person. Would you still trust him? Would the new guy? Cause they don't. But hey, you gave the kid another thing to like about him. They have something besides Night in common, they both are blind in an eye. Except one blindness was caused  by you. So, what do you think?"I explain
