Silent Letters

Chapter 14

Swapfell refused to go to sleep, no  matter how much his body hated him for it. He stayed up until dawn, and even though he was on the brink of collapsing, he refused to sleep until he made sure Dust would wake up.

Soon, everyone else woke up and was stretching, popping their backs in different directions, popping their necks, knuckles, anything they could pop and stretch.

Ink slumped against Error, still exhausted. Swapfell clumsily stumbled into the room, nearly collasping as he shakily sat down, trembling in exhaustion.

"Yo, you okay?" Undyne raised a brow. Swapfell wanted to nod, but his head moved in the opposite direction.

His head slowly lowered and his eyes drooped. He kept raising his head, struggling to stay awake.

Ink shuffled over and raised a brow. He lifted up a hand and covered's Swapfell's eyes, feeling the taller instantly go limp and slump forward.

"Knew it.." He frowned. "He stayed up all night again." He gently rested Swapfell on the ground, sighing.

"Poor dude." Undyne frowned, rubbing the back of her neck. Ink leaned against Error again, nuzzling him.

"I'm g-g-going to k-kill-ill Reaper." Error groaned. "Why?" Ink looked up. "Just-t-t wait for it-it." He sighed.

"REAPER YOU PIECE OF SHIT! PUT ME DOWN! I CAN WALK JUST FINE DAMNIT!" Reaper came into the room, carrying Geno who was thrashing and swatting at the taller furiously.

"I FORBID YOU FROM SEX FOREVER!" He slapped him and Reaper dropped him, not far enough off the ground to hurt him however. "Oooooops." Reaper sat down and Error twitched in fury.

"I'm gonna kill you." Geno groaned and sat up in clear annoyance. "I hate you so much Reaper." Geno rubbed his head.

Reaper blinked. "You love me~" He purred and Geno glared. "As of right now, I do not." He huffed and puffed out his cheeks.

"Sureeee~" Reaper opened up a backpack and tossed a few granola bars around, along with bottles of water.

"Sureeee." Geno mocked in annoyance, quickly eating the bar without really tasting it and downing half the bottle of water in one gulp.

Everyone looked at him in concern. Ink stood up and motioned him to follow. The left the room and Ink turned to him, his 'lips' in a tight line.

"I mean this is the nicest way possible, but you are a dumbass." Ink growled quietly. Geno blinked in shock.

He didn't know how to react.

Ink gave him a long look before his pupils turned a deep blood red. He was pissed. He opened his mouth to say something, but closed it, shaking his head and pushing past Geno.

Ink left the room and walked right past the others, going to a different room. He sat by Dust and let out a long breath.

Dust's own breathing had calmed down and was even and his leg had stopped bleeding hours before. He was healing at a much quicker rate than expected and it hadn't even been twenty-four hours.

Ink put his head down and held his skull, blowing out a breath. "You need to wake up..we need to leave so please..just get up..get up.." He whispered but Dust didn't stir. Ink trembled and hiccuped.

"I wanna go home.." He murmured and closed his eyes.

In the other room, Geno was sat up against a wall, panting softly and trembling. "I'm s-so sorry Reaper.." He whimpered and let out a silent sobbing, holding his hands over his mouth to prevent any more noises.

"What h-have I d-done.." He choked.

~~

Reaper paced, thinking deeply. Where is Geno..where is Geno??

He sat down in frustration, sighing and taking a sip of water.

Undyne hugged her knees, glaring at the ground. Alphys tried talking to her but eventually gave up, curling up on the floor.

Error was leaned up against the couch, playing cat's cradle. When he first learned, it took his hours. Now it took his mere seconds.

They all jolted when they heard Ink cry out.

"HE'S AWAKE!"

Instantly everyone bolted out of the room to where Dust and Ink were, gasping at the sight of a one-legged Dust.

The smaller panted and whimpered, opening his eyes to see the others.

"W-what..are you-you guys staring at?" He followed their gaze and went pale. He shrieked and touched the stump.

He was missing from the knee down. He hands shook and he covered his mouth in horror.

Swapfell staggered in, still half asleep. He had Dust and stumbled over, hugging him tightly.

Dust sobbed into his chest, hugging back as best as he could.
"I-i-it's gone.." He whimpered and Swapfell gripped onto him tighter.

They froze when they heard vomiting and Reaper and Error were the first ones to bolt.

The stopped at a room and watched in horror as Geno arched his back and vomited crimson.

Error fell to his knees in front of Geno, grabbing his arms. "W-w-what happen-appened??"

Geno shook his head and coughed, pointing to Reaper. Error turned his head, a death glare glued to his features.

"I-I didn't do anything to him!" He defened quickly, raising his arms in surrender.

Geno shook his head and panted. "N-no, he d-did nothing..I just want him o-out of the room.." He murmured and instantly Reaper stiffened.

"Gen.."  "please Reaper!" Geno shouted and Reaper winced before leaving.

"What have I d-done what have I done.." Geno sobbed and Error hugged him.

"What are y-you-you talking-ing about-t?" Error asked, highly concerned.

Geno whispered two words into his 'ear' and Error nearly passed out in both fear and shock.

"O-oh god.." Error murmured.

No..it can't be true..it can't be..

It can't be..
