Forever Bonded [DreamSwap]

Chapter 19 - Anger and Fear

"Of course I ran into you...of all people it had to be you…" Ink sighs looking down at Nightmare, literally the only person he knows that is shorter than him.

"You're not going to report me, are you?" Nightmare asks, knowing Ink it's hit or miss. Ink scoffs.

"No point." Nightmare sighs in relief. Thank goodness. "So what are you doing here?"

"Walking." Nightmare replies, slightly rolling his eyes. "What are YOU doing?"

"Same as you I guess." Of course he is. "Should we walk together?"

Nightmare stares at him for a bit, before shrugging. "Sure, why not."

The two decide to take an isolated path. One lacking people in general. They walked in silence, starting up conversations here and there, but mostly silence. The weird thing about it was how comfortable both felt.

Why was that?

"How's working for Dream?"

"The boss-"

"Boss? Is that seriously what you call him?" Nightmare lets out a chuckle, as Ink rolls his eyes.

"'Dream' has been busy with a lot lately. I've been out on missions to eliminate 'the evil' in this world."

"So...you're an assassin?"

"I guess."

"Killing the killers I presume?"

"Sounds ironic."

Nightmare looks down, hiding a smile. "You have no idea…."

Ink stops, hearing his phone ring, he pulls it out and looks at who's calling him. None other than Dream

"Shit…"

"Is it Dream?"

"Probably wondering where I am." Ink presses the green button, putting the phone up to his ear.

"Ink?"

"What is it…?"

"Where are you!? You've been gone for five hours."

"Five!?" Ink was a bit surprised. It's been five hours? It feels like it's only been a few minutes!

"Get back here, now!"

"OK, OK. Jeez, don't get your panties in a twist..."

He hangs up.

Ink looks back at Nightmare. "The boss is pretty pissed, I should get back."
Nightmare smiles and nods.

"Alight,"

"I guess I'll see you around then."

"What are you two doing here…" Cross spats. Infuriated by the sight of the two...especially...Ink...though he's more saddened than angry by him.

"Looking for you three," Blue answers, averting his gaze back to Error. "And it looks like we found you…~"

Error backs up, shielding Ari as Cross shields him. Cross holds up his knife, moving his glare to Blue.

"Where's Nightmare you swine!? I know you had something to do with this!!" Blue smirks.

"He's dead." Cross looks back at Ink once again, his eyes widening.

"W-What…?"

"I got a call a day or two ago. Dream said he killed him, he sounded pretty sure of it too."
