Main Story///Chapter Nine

~•3rd person•~


He then started to talk


________


Cross listend as Ink began his story.


It mostly how all things start out, a mother, a father, and a child.


All living in what seemed like a perfect world.


Ink explained that he was close with his parents and they all living very happy.


Until Ink stopped and stared out the window for a while he then looked back at cross and went into detail,


"Everything seemed so perfect until human mages attacked our village. They drove most out and killed off all the others, the only one who didnt make it out that was left alive was me"


Cross was interested in this story, "so why'd they leave you alive?"


Ink shrugged, "I have no idea"


______


Ink stood facing the humans, he could see the hatred in thier eyes.


One human was getting ready to kill him when another stopped them,


"I think we should leave this one alive"


Ink looked back to see his parents on the ground, cold and dead.


Tears filled his eyes as he looked back on the humans,


"What are you going to do to me?"


The humans lips curled into a menacing smile,


"Something far worse than death"


With a snap of a finger Inks soul appeared, it then began to deteriorate.


Ink let out a blood curdling scream, the pain was unbearable.


When finally all of his soul was gone he fell to the ground, he should've cried for all the emotions he felt, but he had none.


The humans had left him a soulless creature unable to feel.


To him, that was worse than death.


_____


"I was only five when it happened, so I adapted quickly with being without emotions, then a couple of months later I found myself here"


Cross gulped, "so that's where you met dream?"


Ink nodded, "though I did meet nightmare first"


Cross nodded slowly taking in everything he had just heard from the other skeleton.


His eyes then went down to the vial in Inks hand, he still hadn't told him how he got those.


Cross didnt say anything though, not wanting to be rude.


Ink then stood up, "well that's all the time I have now, I've gotta go"


Cross watched as Ink walked out the door and turned left.


Out of curiosity Cross followed Ink, knowing that he couldnt possibly have the same fate as following nightmare.


Ink stopped at a door and knocked on it, seconds later a tired looking nightmare appeared at the door.


Cross quickly hid behind a corner not wanting to be spotted.


Ink and Nightmare began talking and then another voice joined in, this one was different than the others.


More glitchy to be exact.


Cross knew already that it was error, hes heard his voice enough times to pinpoint his face to it.


Turns out Ink came to see error, for a reason cross couldnt make out.


Cross then heard footsteps coming towards him so he ran in the other direction, not wanting to be seen.


Cross made it back to his dorm and slammed the door behind him, making a loud bang.


Cross flopped on his bed and let out a huge sigh,


"that was close"


A child's giggle echoed in the room, though cross was the only one able to hear it.


"See cross even without me you talk to yourself!"


Cross rolled his eyes at the child, "beat it, or I'll knock you out again"


"Thatll only be hurting you more"


"Oh trust me you hurt me enough"


Chara scoffed and crossed his arms,


"You never let me have any fun"


Cross smiled, "good"


Chara huffed and watching with boredom as cross did some of his school homework.


This was normally how it was for the human ghost child, floating around and watching his other half have all the fun of a real life.


Chara hated it, he never got to do anything unless he took over cross' body which only happened when cross lost control.


Cross knew chara felt like this but his hatred for him always got in the way so he couldn't feel bad.


After finishing homework Cross decided it would be nice to go on a walk, though last time he went on a walk he almost got killed.


Cross walked out of the dorm and made his way out of the building.


Once out he ran straight into the woods, hopefully he would get lost so he wouldn't have to return to hell.


The fresh air felt nice to breath in, even though Cross didnt have any lungs.


Cross heard a snap of a twig and summoned a knife, throwing it in the direction of the sound.


A low chuckle rang through the silence of the woods, a shadow stepped out.


A pale teal eye could be seen, it was nightmare.


Cross took a few steps back, too worried about mabey dieing.


Nightmare smirked, "calm down I only want to talk"


_______


Ink and Error walked down a random path that led further into some woods.


Ink never knew why he tried being friends with Error, it's not he could contribute to the friendship, being soulless and all.


But he tried anyway, it was worth a shot anyway.


Error walked and looked down at his feet, obviously wanting to say something but not having the courage.


So ink decided to say something instead,


"Why so down buddy?"


Error ignored Ink and kept on walking, Ink wasnt taking that for an answer,


"Error, talk to me. What's wrong?"


Error glared at Ink, it would've been painful if Ink could feel.


Error continued walking, Ink followed.


Error stopped and Ink ran into him,


"wOuLd YoU jUsT lEaVe Me AlOnE!"


Ink blinked a few times, "why so moody?"


Error growled, "iTs NoT lIkE yOu WoUlD cArE! YoUr DaMn EmOtIoNlEsS!"


Ink gasped, his only partial friend found out his secret,


"How'd you find out!?"


Error sighed heavily, "I fOuNd YoUr StUpId ViAlS iDiOt"


Ink began to giggle, "wow that's all? Man I thought it would be worse! But still though......how'd you find the vials?"


Error looked over at Ink, "nIgHtMaRe HaD oNe, NoW lEaVe Me AlOnE"


Error then dissapeared, Ink stood there seemingly shocked,


"Wow! That was something!"


______


Cross stepped back even more, "why do you want to talk? You could just kill me now, to get it over with"


Nightmare laughed, "oh cross, I haven't come here to kill you. I came here to bargain"


Cross stopped walking back and stared at nightmare, "what do you mean, bargain?"


Nightmare smirked, "easy, I want something from you and I can tell you want something from me"


Cross gulped, "yeah?"


Nightmare crossed his arms, "so I've made a bargain, something that we can both get what we want."


Cross eyed the ground the looked at nightmare again, "ok. What is the bargain?"


Nightmare smiled, "I want to know why your here, and you want to be left alone. So I want you to be my little 'side kick' for a while. After I get what I want I'll let you go on your merry little way"


Nightmare looked at cross who was clearly struggling to find a decision, "it wont be that bad. I mean it will only be a few weeks, you've already agreed to tell Ink your sob story. What's the difference?"


Cross eyed nightmare, "for one your nightmare, two ink told me about him. And three, how the hell did you find that out?"


Nightmare sighed, "you know it kinda hard not knowing when you can clearly feel the emotions of others, you get curious"


Nightmare smiled again, "so cross, is it a deal?"


Cross looked at the ground, this was a tough decision for him. He would be risking all hes worked for, just so another person could be satisfied.


Words of the past came into his head, 'trust no one, they dont want anything from you except your trust, then they'll break it to pieces'


Cross almost laughed thinking of that, after all the person that told him that betrayed thier own words.


Cross grinned and looked at nightmare who had his hand held out.


Nightmare looked at cross, "is it a deal?"


Cross took nightmares hand, "it's a deal"
