ErrorInk:To Be Enemies Or Not To Be Enemies

Chapter 96:The Wall

E!Pap is here.

He lays there, a wound visible on him. It looks like he is slowly coming back to consciousness and crying from the pain.

"E!Pap!"I exclaim, darting over to him

He looks and sees me. He stops crying.

"InK! WhAt aRe yOu dOinG heRe?"He asks

"Are you okay? He hurt you, didn't he? How bad does it hurt? How can I help? I-?"I say, ignoring his question

"I'm fIne."He cuts me off

"No you're not!"I tell him, tearing my scarf and wrapping it around the wound

"Ok...He dId. It iSn'T tHaT bAd. YoU aLReADy dId. Now aNsWer mE."He says

"He took us here."I say

I feel a tug on my wing. I look and see Encre behind me.

"Who's he?"Encre asks

"This is Error's brother E!Pap. He's good, no need to fear."I assure him

He nods. Then he sees the wound I bandaged on E!Pap.

"Monsieur! Are you okay? That man will pay for hurting you! But on another note, it's nice to meet you! I've heard about you from your brother!"Encre says, hugging E!Pap

"Who ArE yOU?"E!Pap asks

"Encre!"Encre responds

"He's from Vampireverse. E!Gaster thinks he's my French twin brother."I say

"Pfft, he really is stupid."E!Pap says

We shake our heads in agreement. We check E!Pap for other wounds but get interuppted.

"I seE tHat yOu hAvE lEaRnEd mOrE tHan You Are sUpPosEd t0. IdiOtS. I'm jUsT tRyIng tO bRinG bAlAnCe bAcK aNd tHis iS tHe tHaNKs I gEt? FoR maKinG tHinGs tHe wAy tHeY'Re sUpPoSed To bE? HoW uNgRaTefUl."E!Gaster says

I hear a total of three snaps. I hear Encre yelp in fear. I look and see strings wrap around him, covering his mouth and lifting him up into the endless "ceiling" space of the antivoid.

"GoOd, nOW tHat FreNch tWin iS oUt oF thE wAy."He says

"He was not my twin bro. Just another world's Ink."I say

"YoU juSt aNgErEd a vAmpIre kIng....B.I.H. t0 yoU."E!Pap says

"DanG iT. NoW lIsTen SoN, yOu sAw nOthIng."E!Gaster says, restraining E!Pap with more strings and yanking me away

"YoU aRe n0t mY faThEr. I sAw eVeRythIng aNd hAvE no rEaSon tO liStEn to y0u."E!Pap says

E!Gaster drags me off. He has this wicked smile that gives me all the wrong feelings.

"Why are you doing this? Bringing so called balance and right stuff?"I ask

"To mAkE mY sOns hAppY."He says

"Well then look at who you call your son and tell me if he looks happy with what you're doing!"I tell him

He looks back at E!Pap. I do as well. He is crying.

"My wOrLd iS gEttIng dEsTroYeD....WhO nExT? MoRe oF oUr FrIeNds? No...."He mutters

"You can still turn back. You can stop this. You can do actual good. You have the right motivations just not the right actions. You can be their dad some day that they look at as a good family, not a stranger or the enemy. You can, and I'm gonna quote your son over there, a good person if you just try. So, what do you say? Let's end this, shall we, E!Gaster?"I tell him,extending the hand he didn't yank as a sign of mercy or for a deal
