Crossmare: Asylum

Chapter 2

I know this chapter is most likely really cringe. I was out of ideas for this chapter so I just wrote something wierd. Also srry I haven't posted in a couple of days I have been busy with school. Anyways have a nice day or night. Idk what time it is for others bc it is the morning for me.

(Nightmare’s POV)

I woke up the next morning to hear Cross breathing heavily. I got off of my bed to see Cross laying on his back and sweating a lot. I could instantly tell he was having a nightmare or bad memories. I can help him though because a while ago I found out I can remove bad dreams. So I put my hand to his head and pulled the dream out. It was purple so I knew it was a bad dream. He almost instantly calmed down into a more peaceful sleep. I smiled at him and looked at the time to see it was still early so I went back to sleep.

(Cross’s POV)

I was having a really bad dream until it suddenly went away and I was left in a black abyss until I entered a calm dream. I was really confused at that moment, but I opened my arms wide open to the good dream because I have not had a good dream in quite a while. Sadly after a while I woke up in the asylum. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy hanging out with Nightmare. I just don’t like being in an asylum is all. Anyways I sat up and listened to the sounds in the room. I heard soft snoring and I instantly knew that it was Nightmare sleeping. I smiled softly knowing I had a friend like him in this place, and that I knew him at all. He is a good person if you get to know him. I looked at the time and realized how late it is. I looked up at Nightmare’s bed and made a decision I know I will regret. I laid back down on the bed and raised my knees to my chest and then pushed my legs up hard and hit his bed resulting in him flying off of his bed a little bit. After I did that I heard him hiss when he landed again and I heard a noise like he shifted up into a sitting position really quick. I struggled so hard not to laugh and managed to keep it in.

(Nightmare’s POV)

After I landed back onto my bed I hissed out of fear and pain and then shot right up into a sitting position trying to figure out what just happened. After a while of trying to figure it out I zoned back into my senses and heard wheezing coming from below me, only one person could be doing that, Cross. It instantly hit me that Cross is the one who did that. I glared and got off of my bed and turned to Cross with the most sinister look on my face. When he looked at me he instantly palled more than a skeleton should, and then he passed out hitting his head on the wall. I instantly got worried and went over to him to see if he was alright. When I got to him I knew he fainted from my look, but then I felt something wet and worm on my hand. When I pulled my hand off of his head my eye widened in fear when I saw blood on my hand. I instantly, carefully, lifted his head to see a crack on his skull with blood dripping out of the crack. I carefully picked him up (Bridal style) and took him to the nurse instantly. Other workers would look at me strangely until they saw the back of his skull. When she saw me carrying Cross she had a confused face until she saw the blood falling onto the ground. She took him out of my arms and put him onto one of the beds. She did everything she could to help him and then turned to me.
“How did that happen?”
“He scared me and then I got off of my bed and gave him a sinister look and he passed out and hit his head on the wall”
“Alright”
“Is he going to be ok?”
“Oh, yeah he is going to be perfectly fine, because based on his records he had gone through more than just a small crack on his skull”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, his father is X-Gaster, a world known scientist. It has been told by some people who actually saw this, but apparently he tested his experiments on his two sons to see if they worked”. To say I was mad at his father for doing that would be an understatement.
“Where is his father?”
“Well, from what I know, he was at his lab with the other scientists who worked with him, along with his only surviving son, Cross. But something happened, and X-Gaster and his scientists were found dead after a fire burnt the whole lab, the only one to survive was Cross, he was of course taken to the hospital because he had some fire burns and all that. But the weird thing is X-Gaster’s head was cut off and his whole body was just mangled up like it was torn by an animal before it turned to dust. No one knows what happened but something bad happened and someone started that fire in plans to kill everyone there”. I was beyond confused, scared, worried, and curious. Who would want to kill this man, except me of course, and how did Cross survive the fire and slaughter? Who started the fire? And so many more questions. I was broken from my thought’s when she started speaking again.
“Of course they questioned Cross when he was better, they asked him who would want to kill his father, stuff like that. He didn’t answer all of the questions with the answers they were hoping for.”. I looked at her with a curious look on my face. She didn’t seem to notice though because she continued speaking.
“They did say he seemed to be acting weird the whole time they questioned him, like when they asked him who would want to kill his father his eyes darkened and turned dangerous looking, like he knew something he didn’t tell them” She said looked at Nightmare when she finished talking. More questions were going through my mind like ‘Does he know who started the fire?’ ‘Does he know who wanted to kill his father?’ I just kept on going through my questions knowing Cross will have to answer them for me to get my answers. I look back at him sadly, now knowing a part of his past that is not all that good. Though when I looked at him he looked calm and peaceful compared to when he is awake. When he is awake I can always see him looking around the entire room scared, he is also pretty jumpy. It was nice to see him look so peaceful every once in a while.
