Justice Reigns in our Stars, but the Nightmare is far from over

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

I'm expecting at least one more chapter to finish this book. I'm sorry for taking so long.

Error's POV

I kept my strings tight around Noxious' soul. We did not need him escaping. I had also wrapped them around his body. I remembered that Blue, under his control, easily bypassed them, so I wasn't taking any chances.

I heard a shout. I turned around. I was surprised to see XChara standing exactly where CrError was. He seemed the same. I was quite shocked. I thought Fate would've done away with XChara. He murmured something. Apparently, I heard that clearly but not whatever was yelled.

"She's coming." That's all he said before CrError regained control.

Dammit. This was not good. I have to say, the situation before wasn't good either, but this is the icing on the cake. Of course she's coming. Why wouldn't she? She's probably going to yell at us and blame us for whatever happened. Sorry, me. She will blame me for it.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice the other Error tapping my shoulder. "Umm," he said. "Thanks for helping us out."

"nO pROBlem," I answered, pasting a smile on my face. "iT WAs nOthINg."

"So, uh," DS!Error looked around uncomfortably. "Everyone's talking with their other self, except Cross. He's standing with the Inks." Another pause. "What do you do normally?"

"wElL, i dEsTrOy aUs fOr a lIvInG, oR dYInG sOmETImEs. I dOn't dO iT oVerwHElmInGLy oFtEn, thOuGh. iN mY sParE tIme, i kNit aNd mAkE pUpPeTS. " DS!Error just stared at me. "wHat? anYwAy, yOu?"

"I avoid getting captured by the JR, and I bail Nightmare and Cross out when they do."

"TAkInG onE fOr tHe tEam tHEn, HUh?"

"I guess. In my spare time, I donate care packages to the orphanage near JR headquarters; anonymously, obviously." DS!Error stared at me again. "Don't you wear glasses?"

"nOpE," I lied. "don'T nEEd tHem."

"Yes, he does have glasses!" I heard Blue yell. "And he absolutely does need them!"

"shUt uP!" I yelled.

"Nope!" Blue answered playfully.

Blue's POV

I giggled a bit after yelling at Error. "You care about him, don't you?" DS!Blue asked me.

I looked back at him. "Well, he did teach me about the AUs. I literally wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him."

"Really? Why's that?"

"Well, he needed someone to open up to him! There's a reason for every action!"

"Like what?"

"Well—" I stopped myself. I didn't know if Error would be okay if I told DS!Blue about his... job.

He looked at me, suddenly intrigued by my lack of response. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing!" I smiled.

"Error seems to be hiding something. What is it?"

"I—"

"I get it if you don't want to tell me, but he's already hinted at something to me. It's not like I don't have my own secrets."

I was seriously starting to consider telling him. If Error gave him a clue about what was happening with him, then I think I can tell him.

"Um, well, he doesn't destroy AUs because he likes it. It's more of a forced job, so to speak."
