Souls: Beginning Of The End [Book 2]

Chapter Twenty Four: A Scolding

Sprinkle and Desire sat on a bench outside waiting for someone to come pick them up. Desire sighed, "I knew it was a bad idea, you almost killed them." Sprinkle shrugged, "I see nothing wrong with it. School is a place for learning right?" Desire groaned and hugged his knees, "I'm soo dead!"

Sprinkle snickered, "you'll be fine. It's just a suspension. Just look at it this way, three days of no school!" Desire glared at Sprinkle, "and then weeks of after school detention because someone had to argue with the Principal!" Sprinkle looked over at Desire, "don't blame me! She's the one that got that nasty attitude!"

Desire made a noise of distress and buried his face in his knees. Sprinkle then crossed his arms and waited. The silence between them became too overbearing almost as if it was the loudest noise they could hear. Desire sighed getting tired of the lack of noise, "how long do you think it'll take them to get here?" Sprinkle shrugged, "hopefully soon."

Sprinkle perked up hearing footsteps and voices. He immediately frowned seeing who it belonged to, "oh great...I'm in for it now." Desire looked up, "what do you mean? Oh-"

Blue stopped infront of them by his side was Dream who looked to be angry. Blue frowned, "you better hope you can explain yourself Sprinkle." Sprinkle quickly nodded and stood up Desire shortly after him. Blue sighed, "come on then, let's get home we can talk there."

Sprinkle exhaled with relief and followed after Blue and Dream. Desire silently trudged behind him looking down at his feet. Sprinkle slowed to walk next to him, "are you still upset? Come on at least Blue's not ripping us apart!" Desire looked over at him, "for right now."

Sprinkle sighed, "you never know, if we tell them the truth then we probably won't get punished." Desire groaned, "you really think they'll believe the truth?" Sprinkle looked down and bit his 'lip', "maybe? It wouldn't hurt to try..."

After a while Sprinkle and Desire decided to fall silent. Blue would occasionally glance back to make sure they were still following them. Dream sighed when they reached the door of the apartment. Blue and Dream exchanged a few whispers and then opened the door.

Lust looked over at them from the corner and waved. Nightmare groaned from the couch, a tentacle was wrapped tightly around Killer, "took you long enough." Blue looked around, "what happened to Color?" Dust walked over to them, "Ink came and took him he left Night here too." Nightmare huffed.

Sprinkle peaked into the room from behind Blue, "so does that mean that odd guy is gonna die?" Blue shot Sprinkle a scolding look as Dust snickered. Sprinkle shrugged and ran to the kitchen pulling Desire along with him. Killer squirmed around in Nightmare's grip and whined, "let me gooo!" Nightmare shot him a glare, "no." Blue blinked, "why exactly is he holding Killer captive?" Dust just shrugged in response.

Dream walked over to Nightmare and crossed his arms, "you can let him go now Nightmare." Nightmare groaned, "oh great now I have to deal with both of you." Blue shook his skull and laughed as Nightmare and Dream continued to bicker. Blue soon turned on his heel and walked into the kitchen.

Sprinkle and Desire looked at him as he placed his hands on his hips. Sprinkle's smile soon turned into a frown. Blue sighed, "care to explain why you got suspended?" Sprinkle set his apple down and looked at Blue, "some guy tried to fight me, I just kinda y'know defended myself.......got a little carried away though." Sprinkle mumbled the last part and looked down at the floor not wanted to look Blue in the eyes.

Desire looked back and forth between them not sure if he should say something. Blue sighed again and let his arms fall to his side, "I'm not sure if your lying or not but I'll let you go this time. But if it ever happens again you will not get away so easily." Sprinkle waited until Blue walked away to look up, "that could've ended worse, luckily he didn't bring up the principal."

Desire shook his skull, "yeah then you really would've been in trouble. Are you going to eat your apple?" Sprinkle took a bite and looked at Desire, "I am now."

It took Dream and Nightmare about twenty minutes to finally stop arguing. They would've gone longer if Killer hadn't lost his patience with them. So now everyone was in the living room waiting quietly for something to happen. Though nothing did.

Dust scrolled through his phone searching for a certain contact. Once he found it he typed a message and sent it. It didn't take long for a response to come through. Dust snickered and put his phone away. He soon began counting seeing how long it would take that certain contact to arrive.

A portal opened and out walked a laughing Ink, shortly behind him was Cross. Once Ink stopped laughing he looked back at Cross, "would've thought you'd seen a cow with that reaction!" Cross glared at him and tapped Nightmare's shoulder, "hurry up we're leaving." Nightmare sighed with relief and relased Killer, "took you long enough!" Cross rolled his eyelights, "don't blame me that jackass told me you stayed behind."

Cross and Nightmare disappeared through the portal leaving Ink. Ink looked around, "well we'll be off have fun wasting away and being miserable!" Ink then walked through the portal and closed it. Lust sighed, "Error's finally rubbing off on him." Horror snickered, "its cause hes stuck with Fresh I'm surprised none of them are insane yet." Dust shook his skull, "you can't become insane when you already are."

Dream stood and walked over to a table in the corner with a bunch of papers on top of it, "well since Nightmare's gone we can get back to work." Horror groaned, "seriously? I thought we were done with this!" Blue smiled, "I think the work could do us all some good!" Horror huffed as Lust dragged him over to the table.

Dust sighed and leaned against the wall, "honestly I think we should just let the others do the work. Their more responsible anyways." Sprinkle skipped into the room and grabbed a pillow from the couch, "not to mention they already have who we're looking for!" Sprinkle giggled and skipped back into the kitchen. Horror groaned, "you've gotta be kidding me."
