Crossmare: Asylum

Chapter 3

(Cross’s POV)

I was really happy! Nightmare was going to let me escape with him! I couldn't believe it.  He was not going to push me away like everyone else. Well now I just have to wait for him to come up with a plan on how to escape. I might also be able to help him because I can see the slightest things everyone else will miss unless they look really closely. I am also really good at escaping a place so I could help at that part too. I already know the schedule of everyone that works here and where they will be and when. I guess I can tell him that later. That is unless he already knows all of that stuff, but you can never be too sure. When I looked at Nightmare he looked to be deep in thought when he suddenly had an angry look on his face. I was worried about what he was thinking about that could make him so mad. I then started to think he was mad at me and that made me even more worried.
“N-nightmare? A-are you ok?”
“Hmm, oh, yeah i’m fine”
“If you say so………”. We both went quiet after that. I have to say it was kinda uncomfortable being in this silence. After a little while I decided to break the unnerving silence.
“H-hey N-nightmare?”
“Yes?”
“S-should we g-go back t-t-to our room?”
“Oh, yeah we should”
“O-ok”. We both got up and left the nurses office to go to our shared room. We both walked in silence, but this time it was not as uncomfortable as last time. Not long later we made it to our room and I instantly went and sat on my bed. I just started to stare off into space while Nightmare sat on his bed.

(Nightmare’s POV)

I could sense something was wrong with Cross. He is not usually this quiet, and he does not stutter like that. I wish I knew what he was scared about but I just can’t figure it out. He really is a mystery. I tell you that. When I looked at him he was still lost in thought. I sighed bored not knowing what to do. Until one question popped into my head. ‘Does Cross have any brothers?’ That is something I never thought about before. Why did I not think of this before? That may also be why he really wants to escape this place. So I decided to ask him.
“Hey Cross?”
“Hmm, oh u-umm, y-yeah?”
“Do you have any brothers?”. He went silent for a while before responding.
“Yes, I do have brothers”
“Who are they?”
“My youngest brother is Ink, he is the artistic and cheerful one, and then my oldest brother Reaper or as we call him Death, he is the calm and chill one who was always there for us when we needed him”
“So you are the middle one?”
“Yeah, I am”
“Are they still alive?”
“Yeah, they are, they are probably wondering where I am”. They both jumped at the sound of Nightmare’s watch going off.
“Welp, guess we should head to dinner”. Nightmare sighed.
“Yeah lets go”. They both got up and left the room to have dinner.
