ErrorInk:To Be Enemies Or Not To Be Enemies

Chapter 84:Dameon!

Above is Nightmare's new form and outfit, as well as some expressions or eye-lights depending on who he's dealing with. Made it myself.

2 days later Nightmare POV

Things have gone okay. I've been speaking with others again and learning why they didn't answer me. The reasons were reasonable. All except Dream's reason. Least to say, I have not spoken to him lately. But, I haven't been able to find Cross anywhere. That is, until I come across this door that was locked from the hallway side. That seemed strange, most locks are inside the room. I unlock it and enter. I look around. Inside was a dark room with only one lamp on for light. In a corner sits Cross. I come over to him quickly.

"Cross? What are you doing locked in here? Why are you in a corner?"I ask

Cross looks at me but telling by his eye-lights, he is not in control.

"X!Chara?"I say

"Hey! It's you, Nightmare! Cross, I knew we were right!"X!Chara says

"What happened?"I ask

"Apparently it's a bad thing to hope for the best. Cross was trying to look on the bright side and hope for your return and Dream put him in here. Saying he shouldn't give false hope. But I knew we were right! You are here, right?"X!Chara says

I nod.

"Score!"He cheers, fist pumping the air

"Sorry Dream did that to you. How's he taking it?"I say, knowing how Cross feels for Dream

"He's taking it rough. He doesn't like getting treated the way he was with this 'corner time' and he is basically questioning where he stands with Dream or how he feels and stuff. All I want is for that jerk to apologize and make it up to him at least. But I know that would be like winning the lottery based on how long it took for you to get an apology from him for the bullies."X!Chara says

I nod.

"Ya, I'm sorry for what I did isn't exactly his strength area. Anything I can do for you guys?"I ask

"I can't think of anything, Cross?"X!Chara says

Then, Cross seemed to have taken over. He looks at me, then pulls me in a hug.

"You rock, Nightmare."He says

Still not used to others hugging me, I stiffen up. And I'm not used to compliments and stuff either.

"Oh, t-thanks?"I say

He smiles at me, but doesn't release me from the hug. We talk for a bit and I explain what happened once he noticed my change in appearance. Once he learned what happened, he hugs me again and apologizes. Apparently Dream also took his phone so he couldn't fall for any tricks that were really from me. False hope excuse AGAIN. I tell him it's okay and that I'm past that with a lot of people now. Still, he keeps me in the hug very tightly. I smile, knowing he just means well.

"Ahem,"a voice says

Cross' grip on me loosens once he looks to the door. He completely releases me and I glance to the doorway. There is Killer. I smile happily.

"Oh! Hey, Killer!"I say, waving

"Hey dude!"Cross says

"Hey...."Killer says, coming in

"So is this where you've been hiding out."Killer says, looking around the room

"Nah, Dream locked him in here."I tell him

"Another reason to hate that jerk....'Great'"Killer says, sarcastic about the great part

The two chat and catch up, but I feel a hand on my shoulder. I look and see Killer had placed his hand on my shoulder while talking with Cross. He looks at me with a smile and then back at Cross, continuing to talk. I look away, feeling my face warm a bit.
