Nightmare's Connection [DISCONTINUED... And Very Old-]

Chapter 18

"This was your Au... So thats why you were so fidgety when Ink talked about it..."

Nightmare nodded, he didn't want to come back here until he was sure he could handle it, but even after about a year he still couldn't handle coming back here. And in the past month of having his soul gone it seemed even harder. Nightmare placed his hand back on Dream's chest, his arm slouched as he looked down.

"I'm sorry..."

Nightmare's hand clenched, why was this so hard. Nightmare just wished he could be stronger, he knew that wouldn't happen but he hated being like this. Nightmare felt arms wrap around him he closed his eyes and lowered his arm, Error was the only one Nightmare acted like this around, with everyone else he forced himself not to, he trusted Error.

"It's okay Nightmare..."

Nightmare turned around and hugged Error, he remembered the time he first meet Cross. This just seemed so different, but yet so similar. After awhile Nightmare had calmed down from before and had fallen asleep on Error, Error got up gently laying Nightmare on the ground wondering what was the best way to pick him up without waking him. Error ended picking up Nightmare in a bridal style and opening a portal to Nightmare's room laying him down on his bed and pulling the covers over him.

"Sleep well Nightmare..."

And with that Error left Nightmare to his sleep. After a few hours of a dreamless sleep Nightmare woke up actually feeling rested, Night stood up walking to the door and opening it. He walked down the hallways to the lounge room knowing thats probably were everyone is, once he got close enough he could here them talking but their was another voice. One Nightmare didn't recognize, Nightmare turned the corner to see another skeleton he was talking to Error and the rest of the gang were there to. To everyone's shock the skeleton threw the knife his was holding at Error, and at the angle it was heading it had a one way designation to Error's soul. Nightmare forced his teleportation magic to work teleporting in front of Error taking the shot, the knife sliced through Nightmares clothes getting lodged between two ribs.

Ayyy, bonus of not having a soul. Crazy people can't impail it.

The skeleton looked confused but also looked like he was about to make a run for it, Error's strings got to them before they had a chance.

"God damit Nightmare you could have died..."

Error inspected the wound, pulling the knife out and healing it.

"And that would have killed you."

Error sighed.

"I know you care but I'm not going to role over and dust randomly, I got to leave that job to you..."

"I must say I am pretty good at dusting for no reason"

Error finished healing Nightmare, and turned back to the skeleton. Nightmare payed close attention to the skeleton he had a hood like most Sanses Nightmares seen except it's a darker color, he had a similar substance to Nightmares dripping from his eyes and a glowing target in front of everything.

"So can I ask why target over there was trying to kill you?"

Error sighed.

"Ink made a deal with him, and even if he succeeded Ink wouldn't give him what he promised... But he just wants to help his Au and Ink can be quite manipulative..."

Target was looking back at Error as if wanting to kill him with his glare. Nightmare looked back at him, why was he so familiar. Nightmare deffenatly knew he hasn't meet them before but their just so familiar. Nightmare felt his books magic which usually ment Noot, which is what Nightmare ended up calling his future self, was back or a new page opened.

"I'll be back..."

Nightmare walked away and headed to his office, he opened the book and it flicked to a new page. After reading it he knew more about target, which turns out his name is Killer. But he's not a normal KillerSans this one was from an Au called SomethingNew an older version of KillerTale, Nightmare knew why he would accept a deal from Ink to help his Au which would make it hard to convince him not to trust him. Nightmare came back down to see Killer throwing threats at Error, and Error... Frankly looking quite bored. Error looked up when he heard Nightmare and gave him the look of 'Shut him up before I kill him' personally Nightmare had seen this look from Error alot when Cross decided to tease him.

"What are you going to do with him..."

Error Finally asked, Nightmare looked at Killer he seemed a little bit more nervous than before.

"Throw him in the dungeon?"

"We have a dungeon...?"

Nightmare personally remembered being thrown in that dungeon once or twice in his lifetime.

"Yeah... Um, follow me..."

Nightmare walked down the hallways trying his best to remember where the dungeons were, it was down three sets of stairs from the first floor in the furthest corner from any light. Morphine would leave people there for weeks and lest just say they never came back out very alive, a few people were lucky just to lose almost all thier sanity, after a while of walking they finally reached the dungeon. Nightmare stopped at the trap door and lifted it up, he walked back across the room and grabbed one of the torches of the wall then made his way down the ladder from the trapdoor. He waited for Error and killer then grabbed a key out of his jacket and unlocked the closest cell, he signaled Error to take Killer in then left the torch with them while he headed to the end of the dungeon to grab magic restraints. Once he had gotten them he walked back and placed them on Killers wrist while Error made sure he had no more knives on him, after they had finished they left the cell and relocked it Error then released Killer from his strings and climbed back up the lader.

"He won't live..."

Nightmare ignored Killers words and set the torch up near the ladder for the trap door as well as the first cell making sure Killer had some sort of light. Nightmare then proceeded to climb up the lader but left the trap door oper for some extra light, but made sure he locked the doors after the trapdoor. Nightmare ended up going over to the lounge room to see the gang thier.

Maybe we can have a normal rest of the day.
