It was an accident. Killer swore up and down that it was. He'd been knocked off-balance last-second, and the attack had fired too early.

Everyone had heard the gut-wrenching crack as it collided with a skeleton. Dream collapsed to the ground and barely moved enough to touch his skull. A massive wound spilled blood and marrow all over the snow. There was another nasty injury on the lower left of his ribcage, also bleeding steadily and clearly causing him agony. Had it been a few inches the wrong way, he would have gotten struck in the Soul.

Horror was the first to move. The injury painfully reminded him of his own, and he instantly tended to Dream the way he wished someone would have aided him.

After demanding a sizeable piece of Blue's cape to try and staunch the bleeding and figuring out how to stabilize the broken ribs, Horror scooped the injured skel into his arms.

"We... He n... needs help. Now."



This was heavily inspired by a fic called "White Lightning" by sacyo on AO3. If you couldn't tell, I easily jump on the angst train... oops.
