Look Over The Horizon [Star Sanses x Reader]

Chapter 26

A door opened and you heard footsteps approach you as your restraints were lifted. You sat up and turned to face Nightmare, who was holding the button you assumed turned on whatever machine he had placed inside your body.

"Now (y/n), for your first job... I want you to kill the Star Sanses," he said and while your mind yelled at you not to agree, your lips moved on their own accord.

"Yes, master."

...

It was with regret that you walked into the prison chamber with a recently sharpened knife in hand. Your SOUL sank at the sight of the trio chained to wall, scrapes and bruises on their bones and dried marrow staining their clothes. You walked up to them and a smirk crossed your face against your will as your eyes locked onto (f/s/s)'s sockets. He looked distraught as he caught sight of you; tears built up as his quivering eye lights scanned your form.

"(y-y/n)..." His voice was broken and hoarse, as if speaking was painful for him.

"Hello boys," you said softly, running a finger along the blunt end of the knife. "Ready to have some fun?"

"Can we pass?" Blue said shakily, making your smirk widen as you walked towards him and placed the knife under his chin. You tilted his skull up as you moved your face closer to him.

"I'm afraid not darling~"

You drew the knife back and got ready to slash when a sharp pang ran through your chest and head, causing you to cry out and drop to your knees.

'Stop it! Don't! This is-'

"AaAaAaAgGgHh!" Your voice warbled and glitched as you screamed, taking everybody off-guard as you gripped the sides of your head.

"(y/n)! W-What's happening?!" (f/s/s) called out to you, eye lights shining with concern as you gasped heavily on the floor, the pain almost unbearable.

"(f-f/s/s)..." you whimpered as you looked up at him, your eyes back to their regular (e/c) shade. You reached a hand out as the black began to melt away. "Please... help me!"

You screamed again as your chest glowed at the blackness returned, your eyes burning as your aura darkened around you.

"HELP!"

(f/s/s)'s perspective: I could do nothing but stare in horror as the girl I loved squirmed in pain. I desperately wanted to help but I knew I didn't understand her condition as well as Nightmare did.

'I'm... useless...' I realized, my chest tightening in discomfort as the lights (seldom there were) began to flicker as they were affected by (y/n)'s magic. The bulbs sparked before going out completely.

"W-Wha-" The word barely escaped my mouth when the restraints holding me were broken and I fell to the ground. I could hear my teammates fall beside me but I didn't pay any attention to them as I scrambled forward to reach (y/n). "(y/n), (y/n), I'm here!" I said breathily, wrapping my arms tightly around her form and pulling her against my chest. "I got you..."

She writhed in my arms, screeching and crying like an animal, her tail flicked against my bones and I cringed at the feeling of marrow being drawn but refused to release her.

"I got you..." I said again, pressing my mouth against her cheek. Her wings fluttered as soft sobs wrecked her form. A shaky hand reached up to meet mine and I held her tighter as I felt teardrops hit my damaged bone.

"What's wrong with me...? I'm a monster," (y/n) said sadly, crying as she lent back into my embrace.

"I'll help you (y/n). We'll get through this, I promise," I whispered, happy to hear her breathing become even as she started to relax.

...

A strange whirring sound filled the room and I felt (y/n) tense in my arms almost as if she recognized it.

"No..." she said quietly, turning around and cupping my face. "(f/s/s), I'm sorry, I-"

A click resounded before she could finish and her eyes began to glow once more. Her face twisted into a snarl and she quickly spread her wings, causing me to fall backwards. She rose up and looked down at me menacingly as her aura spiked.

"Did you really think it was going to be that easy?" she said, her voice carrying an underlying resistance.

...She didn't want to do this.

"Hold on (y/n)..." I looked up at her sadly as my teammates joined my side. "We'll fix this."

...

~* Flashback *~

"So, what are we doing out here again?" the young girl questioned as her (h/c) hair blew in the wind. The skeleton walked up behind her, his cheekbones flushed as he fumbled with the box in his hands.

"I wanted to ask you something," he said softly, making the girl turn to face him. Her gentle smile eased his nerves as he took another step towards her. "(y/n)... We've been dating for four years..."

He took in a deep breath, his nerves had been high all morning but he swore that today was the day he was going to do it.

No backing out now...

"You know I love you, right?" The skeleton smiled up at the girl, who raised a curious eyebrow before smiling back.

"Of course I do, why wouldn't I?" she laughed and the skeleton sighed before lowering himself to one knee.

"Right so um..." He looked up at the girl's stunned expression, opening the box to reveal a (f/c) jewel encrusted ring. "(y/n), will you marry me?"

...

~* End of flashback *~

No-one's perspective: A lone satin box stood forgotten on a desk. A cracked picture of a skeleton and a girl standing behind it.

There was silence until the door to the bedroom flung open and a figure entered, tossing a remote harshly onto the desk. Tears threatened his eye socket as a black hand reached to slam the picture down away from his view. He thought back to how hard he had tried to remind her; trying to get her back...

'I was finally going to tell her how I truly feel, give her the present I'd been keeping for her... It may have made her run away all those years ago but perhaps this time would've been different. Guess I'll never find out now...'

"She doesn't even remember what we used to be..." His broken voice sounded as he fell to the floor in shame.

Oooh what's this? (y/n) used to be Nightmare's gal? And the person thinking about the gift was actually him, huh?

So, did I get ya, did I? Huh, huh? Please feel free to ask if you have any questions XD
