Me, who just spent £20 on other shit and is now a poor ass bitch: motherfucker-

Ink's POV

Three hours, that's how long that bastard left me there for; it was definitely not an hour at least anyway.. luckily Nightmare had found me and untied me from Error's strings but it didn't change much. God.. that AU is one thing that even my bad memory can't fix, so many episodes of it.. Jesus.. thankfully I was on 'patrol' as Nightmare called it. To make up for what Error did he allowed me to go on a walk by myself, but I didn't feel like I was alone. In fact, I knew he had probably forced Error to make a one-way portal to keep an eye on me but I didn't have any definite proof of it so I couldn't confront either of them.

It was.. boring, and confusing. Of course I appreciated that Nightmare was keeping an eye out for my safety but I couldn't stand him making me go out with another Gang member and shouting at me when I went out by myself, I wasn't unprotected just because I was alone! Did he forget about all the times I beat his ass without any help?! I sighed and fell backwards into the snow, unphased about how cold it was.

Was this really the right decision? Maybe Nightmare was wrong about Dream disliking me, but.. there's no reasons as to why he would be wrong, so maybe I'm still just being attached to Dream? Maybe I'm in the wrong, again. Gosh, all of this was so confusing! It's only been three weeks or so.. of course I'd be confused about all of this, it was just a natural reaction! I hated this, all of it. I didn't regret joining Nightmare's Gang, but I did regret not questioning Dream about his actions. I wish I had an explanation other than 'he didn't like you so he avoided you', it would make this so much better.

I stood up after I got uncomfortable from the cold, which wasn't long, and began walking through the AU. If I was being honest, I was expecting insults to be thrown at me from every direction the second I landed in the AU but all I was getting was odd stares here and there. Did they not know about what happened? About how I joined Nightmare's Gang? Or were they underestimating me and my ability to just.. get rid of them all? God, all of this had been a true eye opener to how quickly people can change sides; I'm surprised at how dumb I was back then. Haha, I speak as if a month ago I wasn't talking with Blue and Dream.. doing jobs with them, fighting Nightmare's Gang, all those things.. I'll never get to do those activities ever again, which brings the question around once more. Had I made the right choice?

So why was I doubting myself so much? I'm happier with Nightmare's Gang now more than I ever was with Dream and Blue, so why was I missing them? They did barely anything for me, we rarely had days out with each other and.. was I missing the silence? Was I missing having some alone time? With Nightmare's Gang I'm always so busy, rarely having any time to myself, so maybe I needed some time away from them? I dunno, God I wish I had-

"Hey, Creator! Have you come to kill us too?!"

I turned to see a short bunny Monster staring at me, slightly shaking. Were they scared? I wouldn't be surprised if they were, I had joined the 'bad guys' of the Multiverse. I shrugged and kept walking, not that phased by their words. However, as I kept walking I noticed that more and more Monsters and Humans had begun to stare at me. Were they waiting for me to try something? Huh, well now at least I know how Nightmare's Gang feels when they go out.

"I heard he killed billions upon billions of people.."

Ah, now the whispers were starting. I was surprised they hadn't started sooner, to be honest. Was Error still watching me? I hope he was so he could see these Monsters and Humans being cowards, hiding behind words not daring to try to fight me. It was.. pathetic. I had never felt this way before, but now that Nightmare had shown me a whole new way of thinking and to stop making excuses for anyone it was kind of easy to see how stupid they all were. I won't lie and say I wasn't in the wrong for what happened to all of those AUs, but the fact they were all so confident in their whispers and shouts.. it hurt. Almost everyone I knew had turned on me in a matter of seconds, my enemies had become my friends.. I never would've expected this, not in a million years.

Seeing all of these people berating me for things they don't understand has just reinforced my choice of joining the Gang, they understood my job as I understood theirs. I didn't completely understand their motives, but I didn't even understand my own motives so it didn't bother me that much. Honestly, it all just confused me.. the fact they'd forgive themselves if they did something like this, but they wouldn't forgive me no matter what. It was their fault I turned to Nightmare and the Gang for comfort, their fault they lost their beloved Creator.. none of it was my fault except for the fact my stupidness caused the incident.

I hate them, I hate their actions, I hate their 'justice system' it's all fucked up. I was the one who made it, so why do I want it gone so much? I should talk to Nightmare about all of this but.. will he know what I'm talking about? I doubt he'd know, he's probably been surrounded by negativity his entire life so for something he used to love to turn into something he hates.. I doubt he'd understand that. I should talk to Cross about it, ah but Nightmare is technically my Boss so I should report back to him first. Is it.. is it alright to waste his time with something like this? It isn't really that important, and he'd probably just give me more restrictions.. ah, whatever. If I don't tell him, Error probably will.

I flicked my wrist and opened the source code, looking for the background button. I clicked it and deleted it, immediately all the Monsters and Humans that were nearby me scattered, which led to them falling into an endless pit. I wonder how far it actually went down.. it couldn't last forever, could it? Maybe it could, who knows. I opened a portal beneath me back to the hideout, preparing for the inevitable grounding by Nightmare. Who knows, maybe he was completely right about Dream and Blue after all.
