Fire Escape

Chapter 10: this cruel city

"No." He says "me, dream, and our friend blueberry live in a home together. We all equally pay bills and stuff like that. We live around 10 minutes from here in a nearby neighborhood."

"Oh. I see." I mumble, as the elevator doors open to reveal the third floor. We all leave the elevator and walk down the hallway with the multiple identical doors. We stop at a door and dream knocks. Theirs a moment of silence before I hear rustling inside the room, and the door opens to reveal a sight that suprised me.

Standing in the door was a monster slightly shorter than me. He had white bones and bright lavender eyes. He wore a very dark purple hoodie with white star and moon designs embroidered with some thin thread. He wore some black sweat pants and some tall black socks. Despite his layed-back clothing, he seemed not very layed-back. Despite being shorter than me, his posture made him seem around my height. He stood tall and his broad shoulders posed a threat. His eyes, although bright, seemed kinda empty. No emotion showed in them besides a type of judgement. He looks me up and down with a blank expression

"You must be Error." He says, looking me up and down with his bright eyes. He seemed tired.. the bags under his eyes hinted that he hadn't slept, more than the possibility that he just woke up. It was late, so I wouldnt be suprised if his bubbly brother had woken him up for my sake, but it seems otherwise. Despite being brothers, the two seemed to have nothing in common.

Dream was over talkative and beaming with joy. Hes energetic and bubbly and seems very open-minded. Nightmare, on the other hand seems very closed off. He seems quiet and kept to himself. He seems layed back and calm and I'm guessing wise.

He just kinda seems like that type of person at least.

"Come in." He says, walking back into his abode as we all follow. I enter the room to be met with the smell of dark wood and cinnamon. I spot a candle that the smell seemed to be ruminating from. When I walked in, the spacious and modern home scared me. I wasnt use to such a high-end place.

Did i have the money for this?

Their was a pristine kitchen with white marble countertops and island the only thing thatw as dirt was the 3 or 4 dishes that sat in the sink, waiting to be cleaned. Mat black chairs sat at the counter end of the island that formed a table area at one end. This led into an open layout living room. Huge windows layered the gray walls that showed the night stars and neighboring shops and buildings. A comfy grey couch with the shape of an 'L' sat against the wall with a small footrest cushion. A large carpet covered the floor and a glass table sat in the center of the room. A small black storage compartment held movies and a DVD player, and on too sat a large tv playing a movie that was unfamiliar to me. An electric fireplace with grey bricks sat against one wall next to a loveseat that matched the couch. I saw down a hallway that revealed multiple doors, and at the end with an open door, I spotted an office with a large desk and computer with papers scattered about the desk neatly. But the best part of the home, was when you looked up, and saw the chandelier in the center of the room, and a led strip with glowing, hanging stars and crescent moons that lined the top of the walls. It casted a blue and purple hue all over the ceiling, and sense the lights where turned off, it made the place seem almost magical.

Nightmare walked to the kitchen silently and grabbed three glass cups. He filled two of them with ice and filled all three with water.

He fiddled with all of them to where he was able to hold all at once, and walked over to us as ink and dream sat on the couch. I kept eyeing the fireplace wantingly as I felt myself shiver once more.

"You must be cold huh.. how long where you out their?" I hear nightmare say. I turn back to see him handing me the water without ice. Probably best seeming how cold I already am.

"Not to long.. I guess I just wasnt wearing enough warm cloths for such cold weather." I take the water.

"I see.. do you not have any belongings besides the backpack? It looks kinda empty.."

"Not really. Let's just say I'm here on a very short notice.."

"I see.. well.. you can sit by the fire to warm up. Once your warm enough, I'll show you to your room."

"Alright.."

Nightmare silently walks over to dream and sits next to him.

Everything else is a blurr.

I felt tired and cold...

I sat by the fire for forever before i finally managed to warm myself up.

Sooner or later ink and dream left, and nightmare noticed how tired I was. He led me to my room and wished me a good night.

I don't get a good look at the room before i collapsed onto the comfort of the bed, and felt engulfed by the feelings of my energy slipping away from me.

Everything went dark

As i was welcomed to the cruel city of pentral
