Under Arrest (Multiship)

~Chapter 39~

I finally finished a 3,000+ one shot. It's still the first part of the story... 😩

———Ink's POV———
I was waiting patiently at Classic's house. He had kindly offered us to stay and go wait as a getaway driver for Fell. I had Cross, Nightmare and Reaper with me, Nightmare obviously trying to be awake to hold the forcefield up. Reaper didn't want to wait at the apartment and Cross couldn't trust me alone with these lot.

"Shouldn't they be home by now?" Nightmare asked yawning.

"Should they not be at home?" The entity hissed as it sat on the floor, arms folded. Nightmare gave him a cold glare before blinking his eyes several times to keep awake.

Knock Knock!

I instantly ran to the door as I quickly opened the locks. Upon opening it, I saw Fell, Classic and another skeleton wearing a lab coat and glasses.

"Finally you're back! Nightmare is on the verge of going into a deep sleep!" I said pointing at Nightmare who was half awake.

"At least we got the book!" Fell said waving it in my face.

"Great! Let's get a move on!" Reaper said enthusiastically.

"Uh. Who's that Fell?" Cross asked, pointing at the skeleton wearing glasses.

"Oh him. That's Sci. We were friends since I met him in the mansion. He has the same desire of escaping the mansion too," Fell said, patting Sci's back. He gave an unsure laugh as he held his arm in anxiety.

"H-Hi. I'm Sci as you know and I was one of the boss's scientists," he said shyly. Fell gave him a look of reassurance which definitely didn't make Classic happy. I could see and feel tension but I was trying my best not to laugh in any way possible.

"Let's get this entity out before Nightmare sleeps!" Reaper was shouting, trying to speed up the process. Everyone agreed as Classic flipped through the book.

"I found the spell with its counter," Classic spoke out, showing the page which it was situated in the book. I took the book from Classic as I took a look at the spell. I walked up to Geno who was still sitting on the floor, angry.

"You're going to get rid of me by a simple spell? Hah, pathetic fool," he snarled as I completely ignored him.

"Converterent alica, intra propriam entitatem dimittere!" I said loudly as sparks of magic flowed round Geno, encircling him. "Nightmare let the forcefield down!" I told him as the magic seemed to get agitated. Nightmare released the forcefield as his body collapsed from using too much magic. Thankfully Cross was nearby and caught him before he fell.

Then the magic closed the circle on Geno and went in his soul, making him collapse to the ground from strong magic. With the chaos in Classic's house coming to a sudden stop, the whole room was silent. Cross picked Nightmare over his shoulder and laid him on the sofa, who was in a deep sleep. Reaper had rushed over to Geno, carefully picking him up as he was too, knocked out.

"Do you think it worked?" Sci asked, pushing his glasses up a little.

"Hopefully," Cross spoke as he tucked Nightmare in.

"Aw the transfer has gotten a soft spot for the Nightmare," I cooed as some of us began laughing. Cross could do nothing but hiss at me for even making the comment.

"What about Reaper?!" Cross said, trying to change the conversation towards Reaper who was still holding Geno in his hands,

"Yeah no. Ink already knows," Reaper said, giving a wink at me.

"How the hell did you know?!" I asked exclaimed.

"I have my ways~" he gave me a cocky smile, looking back at Cross, who had failed to change the conversation.

"Now what's the next step?" Fell asked, avoiding more chit-chat.

"The next step was to...." I spoke too soon as I completely forgot what the next step was. I looked back at the clock to see that it was past my time and I forgot to take my pills. Great. My house was the furthest away from mansion too.

"Are you ok?" Sci asked me.

"No- Yes YES! I'm fine!" I bursted out, using too much of the remaining emotions.

"You're acting a little odd. Don't tell me you got possessed too," Cross asked worried.

"I'm fine..I'm fine...I'm not fine," I said, my fingers trembling. I can't let them see me like this. Emotionless, cold.

"Let me check you," Sci offered. He reached his hand to me but immediately caught it.

"I'm fine," I said sternly, looking into his eyes. "I'm going home," I quickly spoke as I ran out of the door. Little did I know did someone already knew my secret.

———Sci's POV———

"What's up with him?" I asked, holding my hand close to my chest.

"I have no clue," Fell shrugged.

"He doesn't have a soul," Reaper spoke out, spooking everyone in the room.

"What?" Cross asked.

"I couldn't sense a soul inside him. He probably has to take pills to have fake emotions. Poor him," Reaper said as if he didn't care. I looked extremely worried. How did he not die? All monsters and humans must have souls to live or they'll be dusted!

"You seem to be taking that calmly," Cross hissed, clearly offended by how Reaper wasn't taking it seriously.

"What? Am I supposed to say 'it's going to be ok?'" He said sarcastically.

"Ok that's enough. How about we all get some rest. It's already night and the guys are probably going to hunt us down so we'll pretend we're sleeping. K?" Classic ordered. Fell agreed with him as he followed him upstairs.

I furrowed my brows as an unfamiliar feeling was washed all over me. My body felt tense with...jealousy?

Cross noticed me acting all weird too before giving a smirk at me.

"You jealous?" He asked. I didn't respond at all.

"I guess there's a love triangle," Cross said laughing.
