Chapter 82: Where is He?

Start from the beginning
                                        

67....Protection call. Lockdown. Get everyone the caller loves or cares about together...Jeez, things must be bad if Nightmare's calling it! Cipher you are dead! Science you are dead!

"Well, after you passed out, E!Pap took you from the game. Science basically ran an experiment on Nightmare in the game. He put a cuff on his wrist, forcing him to stay in one form or he'd get electrocuted. The only way he'd get the other form back is that he goes and stays at a shack for at least an hour. The cuff holds his attacks, abilities and basically everything about his other form. We were shocked and gonna skip that dare, kicking Science from the game, but Nightmare went and did it. I'm guessing the cuff came off while he was taken and may give a clue to where he was taken. Also, we should get it instead of those idiots to use."Cross explains

"I saw the cuff! He had it on the entire time he was here, and also kept fidgeting or picking at it. He left wearing it too. I didn't know that happened. Science, man."I say

"Okay, so now we have a way to find it. Science has a tracker on it. If we find it, we may find something to help Nightmare."Cross says

"I'll go grab something!"Dream says

Could this really be happening? Was Nightmare really taken? Oh why did I let him leave alone in that form? Why didn't I go with him? Protect him? Ugh, I'm so stupid!

Then, my phone rings while still on the call with Cross. I check it and smile.

"Cross! Cross! I gotta go!"I say

"Why?"He asks

"Nightmare is calling me!"I exclaim, filled with hope and joy

Nightmare could be okay! My Nightmare!

"Oh! I got a strong feeling! Someone is feeling love for my brother!"Dream shouts in the background

"Ooo, interesting. Killer, the ru-"Cross begins to say, reminding me of the rule

I hang up and accept the other call. I could feel my face burn a bit.

I'm not breaking that rule, am I? I simply care for, but not love, Nightmare, right? And especially not the way Cross implied, right? He's my boss and friend. He sees me as just some kind of family-like friend in his gang, right? Right. Nothing more. But that kiss......Foucs, Killer!

"K-Killer?"Nightmare says over the phone

"K-Killer?"Nightmare says over the phone

"Hey, Nightmare!"I say, but could hear in my own voice the kind of joy I had to him

"Oh thank the stars. You're ok, right, Killer?"He asks

"No, I'm fine."I say

"G-Good. I'm sorry I haven't come to see you, nor do I think I ever will at this rate."He says, his voice shaking

"Are you okay?"I ask worriedly

"N-Never better, heh..."He says, though I can tell he's lying

"Nightmare, please, be honest."I tell him
