An Unwanted Glitch Like Me (ErrInk) ~Completed!~

Chapter 5: Increasing Headache

(A/N Hello, hello again! I am wanting to get as much of this story done as I can before summer break starts. Be warned, this chapter contains the self harm I gave this story a mature rating for. As always, constructive criticism and feedback are appreciated. Thank you for reading this!)

Error's view:

It's been two years since I first met the thorn in my side known as "Ink". He has been a constant pain to me. Hardly ever giving me enough time to even destroy a Universe, and even if I do manage to tire him out enough, he would just rebuild it the moment I turn my back for lack of stamina. He hardly ever seems to tire, and will always find a way to burn my strings. Though I have noticed that I am, in fact, taking a toll on him. When he thinks I'm gone, I use a bit of the stamina I have left and follow him to a world he runs to when he's not chasing me. It's a small little place that's quite a bit like the OuterTale cliff, but with a lot more color. He locks himself in a pretty small house and stays there almost all the time. Whenever his "friends" come over to say hi, he only goes through short formalities before asking them to leave because, in his words, he's tired. I can't even get much help defeating him from Nightmare and the gang either. They can't even compete with him as I am the most powerful glitch. The one time Cross ran across Ink on his own he almost managed to get dusted until I showed up. I seem to have finally cracked something though. I believe he can feel it when I attack an AU. He almost always appears the moment I start attacking and I have a way to test this theory. I am now outside his house and can see him doodling on a piece of paper with his rainbow tongue sticking out. When I give the signal, Cross and Nightmare will start to attack an AU. I gave them free rein as I don't give a fuck which AU they destroy. Now all I have to do is wait for the right time.

Ink's view:

'Blueberry and Dream visited again yesterday. It's getting harder to hide my tired self from them' It's been a while since Error has attacked an AU, which is great because I don't know how much longer I'll be able to keep up with him. I haven't told Blue or Dream just how much they were getting to me. Now that I have actually come into contact with Nightmare I am having night terrors every night. Each one seems just a little worse than the previous. I'm currently trying to take my mind off of my churning stomach by doodling, but it's not doing any good. I snap the pencil on accident and sigh.

"This isn't working..." I moan into my hand.

I stand up and head to the bathroom, as I know just the thing. I've been trying it recently and it actually does good. I close the door behind me and turn on the shower in case Blue or Dream burst in without warning as they sometimes do. I remove my shirt and take the blade out from under the sink. I've done this a few times already and I know by now to not cut on the lower arms, they always end up being reopened and if ink drips from your arms while friends are around... Let's just say that it would be a lot of unnecessary worry on their part. I put it against my shoulder blade and press just enough. Black ink starts welling up instantly. I sigh happily as I do one for each Papyrus on each arm. I consider doing my legs as well, but by now I have already spent enough time in here. I wrap them tight enough to not open them, but not tight enough to be noticed. I put my shirt back on and rinse the blade well. I turn off the shower, place the blade back, and head back downstairs, humming a small tune quietly. I sit back down and sigh again, twirling another pencil.

Error's view:

I wasn't expecting it when he snapped his pencil so easily and almost gave myself away by falling over into the bush. 'If he could snap a pencil so easy, why hasn't he snapped any of my bones? Even on accident?' I wondered. He then went off upstairs. I knew this wasn't the time he went to bed so I assumed he was going to the bathroom. I lean back to wait.

When he came back he was twirling a new pencil and I believe he sighed. He sat back down. 'Perfect opportunity!' I thought happily, opening a portal to Nightmare's mansion. 

"gO oN ThEn!" I yell through the portal at them.

They grin and jump through a different portal. I drew my head back and close the portal and watched Ink.

Ink's view:

"Augh!"

The pain in my head was so sudden and horrible this time, that it knocked me off the couch. I caught my self with one hand and clasped my skull with the other. The pain was tremendous. I whimpered quietly, but it wasn't exactly a sad whimper. I was enjoying it at the same time. I flailed my arm a bit, wondering where I had left "Broomie" as I had decided to call my paintbrush. I sit up and see it on the other table across the room. I stumbled to my feet, still clutching my head, when blue strings break through the window and go right through me.

"wHaT ThE FucK?!?" I hear a yell from outside. 

I try to duck the strings and reach Broomie, but they wrap themselves around my ribs and legs, tearing my new bandages. Error enters through the broken window and glares at me.

"hOw ThE FucK dO yOu NoT HavE A SoUL?!?" He yells.

"Because... I have got... POWER!" I snarled at him, a smirk crossing my face as I freed my hand and Broomie came flying over to me. I cut the strings with a swipe and, ignoring the worsening headache, whirled to face Error.

"Let's go!" I laughed at him, which made him quite mad.

(A/N Hello, hello everyone. That's it for this chapter. I hope you enjoyed! Buh-bye!)
