A Fatal Error

Chapter 10

  Medic carries Strawberry to Dream's room, making sure he's gentle enough to not wake the other up. What he doesn't realize is he's dropped the stuffed bunny.
  Katy, a bunny child at the hospital for a broken arm, picks up the stuffed bunny and runs over to Medic. "Doctor Sans! You dropped this!" She smiles brightly, proud of herself.
  Medic turns around and takes the stuffed bunny. "Thank you Katy. Run along now."
  "Okay!" Katy runs off, heading for the playroom.
  Medic smiles and gives Strawberry the stuffed bunny, noticing the small smile when the bunny is back in his arms. "Just a few more minutes kiddo. Then when you wake up you'll get to see your brother."
(Flashback)
  Dream woke up, blinking slowly with his vision fuzzy.
  "Oh! You're awake! Someone page Sans!"
  Dream didn't know what was going on so he just laid there, aware of the pain all over his body.
  It didn't take long for Medic to enter the room. "How are you feeling?"
  "Wha-? What happened?" Dream managed to ask, struggling to hold back a yawn.
  "You had to get surgery for your injuries. You had a bone attack lodged near your SOUL too. You got extremely lucky."
  Dream went quiet, processing the news, yawning as he did so. "Where's Nightmare?"
  "Strawberry's asleep in the playroom. I can go get him for you." Medic replied.
  "Strawberry? I haven't seen him in 300 years." Dream said, happy Strawberry decided to come out.
  "Want me to get him for you?" Medic asked.
  "Yes please." Dream replied. "But I don't know how much longer I can stay awake."
  "It's okay. If you feel like you need to sleep before I get Strawberry in here go right ahead. I don't think he'll wake up for at least a few more hours."
Dream nodded and Medic left to get Strawberry.
(End Flashback)
Medic smiles as he enters Dream's room and lays Strawberry on the bed, careful not to hurt Dream while at the same time glad Strawberry's small.
Strawberry shifts and slightly opens his eye sockets. "Mm... Medic...? What's...going on...?"
Dream weakly places a hand on Strawberry's skull and starts rubbing it. "Nothing's going on. Go back to sleep. I'll be here when you wake up."
Strawberry doesn't hear him. The minute Dream placed a hand on his skull he fell asleep, happily curling up next to Dream.
Dream smiles and yawns, starting to nod off, eye sockets drooping.
Medic notices and adjusts the blanket so it covers Dream and Strawberry. "There you are. Nice and comfortable. Now you sleep well. I'll be back in a bit with food for you."
Dream ends up falling asleep mid nod, one arm keeping Strawberry close to him.
Meanwhile, back at the mansion, Blue's checking on Error again. He frowns, trying to hold back the tears that are threatening to fall. "Please. Wake up Error. We can't do this without you... I can't do this without you..."
  He looks at Error's heavily bandaged form, laying limply on the bed, no signs of life despite Blue knowing he's alive.
  I can hear someone speak but it's barely audible. And the darkness is better than the pain. There's always nothing in the darkness. It's quiet. It's nice. I want to go back. With that thought in mind everything fades away as I slip back into the darkness.
  Hearts walks in the room, hesitantly standing behind Blue. "B-Blue? L-Lunch is ready..." He averts his gaze, eye lights moving so he's now looking at the ground, obviously shy.
  Blue turns around and gently places a hand on Heart's shoulder, distracted from worrying about Error, for now. "Hey. It's okay. There's no need to be shy."
  Hearts merely whimpers, not looking up.
  Blue sighs. "Come on. You need a massage. I'm taking you to Geno."
  Hearts doesn't fight or make any noises or movements of protest when he's taken to Geno. He doesn't even react when he's sat down on one of the couches.
However, he yelps when Geno puts his hands on his shoulders.
Geno quickly removes his hands, knowing Hearts just needs some help being okay with his shoulders being touched.
Hearts whimpers, curling into a ball, trying to fight off his evil side. It can get triggered when he gets touched too and he doesn't want to hurt his family.
  Geno quickly backs off, teleporting away.
  The rest of the Sanses do the same.
  Hearts cries out as his eye lights start changing to slits, the blue parts of his jacket changing to red. The only thing he can do is mutter "I'm sorry" over and over before his evil side takes over.
  Vice, Heart's evil side, pulls his knife out of his pocket. "Haha... Hahaha! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" He teleports to the second floor, sensing some of the others up there. Error included.
  Blue sucks in a sharp breath, his hand on Error in case he has to teleport away. He has a bone attack in his other hand.
  Vice bursts into the room, throwing his knife at Error.
  Blue is too shocked by the sudden appearance to do anything and can only watch as Error gets hit in the skull. He quickly snaps out of it and makes a portal to MedicTale, quickly closing it behind him once he makes it through with Error.
  Vice growls at the fact he's now lost his knife and summons a bone attack, moving through the mansion to find the other Sanses.
  Dust hides in Error's string nest, poised and ready to knock Vice out. He has a bone attack summoned, not sharp thankfully, and throws it at Vice.
  The bone attack hits Vice and knocks him out, his bone attack disappearing as he hits the ground.
Dust drops down to the ground and picks Vice up, Horror helping Dust tie him up so he can't cause trouble since it looks like Hearts isn't back in control.
Slowly, the others trickle out of their hiding place, putting weapons away and desummoning bone attacks, still wary.
Red's the first to speak. "Where's Blue? Shouldn't he be here too?"
Dust shrugs. "Vice got to them. I saw Blue take Error through a portal briefly but I don't know where it leads. I'd assume MedicTale. Vice's knife was in Error's skull."
  "Then let's go. No time to waste."
