"Release her!" It was Dream. Nightmare gave a groan and sighed. He looked up at Error. Error easily getting the message, vanished and reappeared on top of Dream. Dream looked at him. Error being faster summoned his strings ready to make impact. A big colorful puddle splashed right at him. Ink stood in front of Dream twirling his brush ready to make another move. "Thanks Ink." said Dream heading over to Nightmare.

"If you want her so bad, come get her." Spoke Nightmare with a hint of venom. He grabbed my body with a tentacle before throwing me into the air. I yelp quietly as I was thrown. I felt something wrap around me. Or more so a ball started to surrounded me. The sphere was see through. I could see everything under me. I start to kick the sphere trying to pry it open. I looked down as Nightmare stared at me.

Nightmare continued to stare at me. His expression, annoyed. "God damn it Dream! I was getting to the good part!" Nightmare got up and started to make his way over to Dream. Dream kept running. Nightmare scoffed. Using his tentacles to charge at him. Dream kept running, continuing to go head first. As the tentacles drew closer Dream split his bow in half as they turned into daggers. Dream dodged and slid past. As he slid through he used his daggers to cut the tentacle as much as he can. The light of the dagger making clean cuts. Nightmare hissed in pain as he turned around. Dream making a staff out of the daggers. "Why can't you just let me do my job!" His voice roared. His tentacles pierced upwards before heading down towards him. Dream twirled his staff before he held it up, creating a dome around himself. Nightmare kept striking the shield as his face was becoming disoriented. "Just let me, get rid of you."

The shield started to crack. Dream clenched his teeth. He looked up at me. "Dream help me!" I called as I continued to kick the ball. Dream looked at his brother. He clenched onto the staff before letting the shield collapse. He bolted and slid behind Nightmare. Nightmare looked back shielding himself from the light the shield left behind. Dream changed the staff into a bow and quickly shot an arrow through Nightmare's head right at me. I quickly ducked as the arrow zoomed over my head. I then felt the bottom where I was.

"Ink!" called Dream as Nightmare turned to face Dream. Ink was tossed by Error into the air. Ink using the small opening to make an escape teleported right under me. He quickly twirled his brush. Creating a wave of paint carrying me gently down.

Ink then looked back at me frantically. "Here." he handed me a golden locket and a small paint brush. "If you ever need me." As soon as he said that he started to open a portal, but before being able to completely open it he was launched into the air by Nightmare.

"That's enough!" roared Nightmare. Dream sat to one side injured by the leg while Ink was tangled in some of Error's strings. Nightmare looked over to me. He then looked over to Dream. Finally taking a glance at Ink. "Finish them off." He ordered Error before looking over to me and starting to make his way to me. I scurried back, scared. Dream looked back at Error. Error sent strings to attack Dream. Dream looked over to Ink before, pulling out his daggers. He quickly tossed one to Ink and the other to Error. Error teleported away as the strings halted. Buying Dream time he ran for it as Ink became loose as the dagger fell in front of Dream. He grabbed it before Error got a hold of his leg. Swing upside down. He looked over at Error who held a grin. Dream held out his hand as the dagger from earlier made it's way back hitting Error in the head. He quickly became loose as Ink reappeared. He quickly helped Dream and left to face Error.

Dream looked over to his brother. He ran as he touched the rim of his belt. He felt the spheres on the belt. He held one before ripping it off and kept running. "Nightmare!" He called. Nightmare immediately looked back as his tentacles charged to him. Dream jumped and tossed the ball on the floor. Happy memories were spilling out. The area grew a bright color. This provide great coverage for Dream as he made his way over to me. He quickly summoned his staff as Nightmare regained focus.

Dream kept a serious face as he looked over to me, holding his staff up. "I'm sorry I'm late." I kept quiet. Feeling too broken down and vulnerable to say anything. Dream noticed this and looked back at his brother. "As long as he's away from you." Dream held his staff higher as it started to crack. Dream looked over to Ink. He gave a sharp whistle. Ink hearing it immediately gave another stroke of his brush, as once again paint splatter all over Error. Ink disappeared and reappeared behind Nightmare. Using his brush he splatter white paint over him. It quickly transformed into chains as Dream pulled out his bow again. Nightmare becoming slightly paralyzed started to pry the chains open. Dream quickly, not trying to waste anytime, called out, "Ink!" Ink immediately opened a portal. Dream summoned arrows and repeatedly shot Nightmare. His body started to be ripped apart in chunks.

As the arrows would rip him into pieces he was being pulled into the portal. Nightmare gave a frustrated look before Dream shot his head, and was completely pulled in. Ink immediately closed it. Dream held his stance for a bit. He looked back at me, he quickly relaxed. He ran over to me and knelt down. "Are you alright?" I nodded slowly. Dream gave a relived sigh. "Thank goo-"

"Dream!" called Ink. A sharp red bone was flying towards them, Dream had little to no time to put up a shield. Ink took the hit. The bone pierced through Ink's arm. "Hurry up and get out of here! I'll take care of Error!" he called.

"We can't just leave you here!" Called Dream, Ink gave a frustrated expression.

"Just go!" He called as another sharpened bone flew over. Ink grab his brush and tossed paint behind him. Error had teleported behind Dream and I. Dream grabbed me and looked down at me. Error used his strings to grab the brush Ink used. Since being injured his reaction was much slower. He grabbed the brush and had it wrapped in string. Using another bone, he hit Ink this time near the top of his skull. Dream saw this and quickly covered my view.

"Close your eyes." he says reassuring. I hesitantly closed my eyes. "Sorry they gave you a scare." Immediately as those words were said I felt light headed. I felt like I was asleep. The last I was able to hear was, 'I'm sorry.'

Then I felt a bed. Soft and squishy.

My eyes bolted open. I panicked and started to frantically get up. I grabbed the sheets and kicked my blanket. I looked around confused. "That was just a dream." I whispered to myself. "Just a dream." Right? I looked down at my arm. They were covered in bruises. I jumped slightly and gave a shocked expression. "Or maybe it wasn't."

Yes ik I forgot! Lets hope it doesn't happen again. No promises though.
