Nightmares pov

In what seemed to be an instant Nightmare whipped around, wrapping his tentacle around Inks neck and slamming him to the ground. 

(30 minutes earlier....)

He didn't like this. Not one bit. Nightmare was uneasy when the plan was being formed to go to to the anti-void, but when they actually arrived, that uneasiness increased ten-fold. 

'Somethings terribly wrong'

"Hey boss?" 

Nightmare turned around to see Horror looking at him. 

"The rest of us wanted to talk for a bit while the rest of these guys are distracted." Horror told him.

Nightmare then proceeded to talk with the rest of the gang. Suddenly, someone not completely unexpected decided to pop in.

"Hi guys!", Blue practically shouted. 

"Hey Blue." Dust chimed in. "we were just talking about a plan of what we should do." 

Yes, that was the issue. The original plan had been was to try and talk it out at first, but if it came to it they would fight Error, and try to keep the rest of the Sanses away so they wouldn't kill him. But now that Error was nowhere to be found, they would have to come up with a new plan.

Nightmare began to speak, " I have a bad feeling about this, but I guess it's better that Error isn't here at the moment. When he arrives, I think we should-"

He was suddenly cut off by an immense wave of negativity surging through him. He also began hearing someone sobbing. Everyone mingling about in the empty white space turned to the noise, only to see that it was Ink crying on the ground. Most of the skeletons rushed over and began asking him questions, some of which Nightmare would like to ask as well. 

He thought to himself, 'I really couldn't care less about how Ink is feeling, but I need to find out what happened.' Nightmare had a horrible suspicion it had something to do with Error.

Nightmare was about to tell everyone to be quiet, but someone else beat him to it. 

"QUIET!", Blue screamed. 

Almost everyone backed off after that. Nightmare saw that Dream was talking to Blue, but he couldn't hear what they were saying. Then, Nightmare saw it. A note being handed to the small skeleton. And when he saw that, his anxiety spiked.

Before he could begin to question it further, he felt another spike of negativity. This time he felt it coming from... Blue? 

As Nightmare was lost in his thoughts he barely realized that Ink had sent almost everyone out of the anti-void except for his gang, Dream, Blue, and Honey. He looked over to Dust, who was suddenly holding the sobbing Blue skeleton. 

Nightmare saw the note for the second time as it fell to the ground near Dust. He then reached out with his and began to read it. 

"W-wait!" Ink cried out, but it was already too late. 

Nightmare had barely finished reading the first paragraph, but he immediately understood what it was about. More importantly, he had a suspicion Ink had something to do about it, and he was. not. pleased.
