And once again... silence. Dim light of Anti-Void was slightly covering Error's tired figure as he tried to fix his torn scarf. In the distance he could hear quiet laughter. He raised his gaze and looked at smiling Paper Jam who was playing with some strings and puppets. It was peacfull. But diffrent thoughts tortured Error's mind along with voices that were placed in his head.
It has been several weeks since he talked with Nightmare. And lets just say that Destroyer didn't have any rest with his job and thoughts. He wasn't sure in his decision at the start and now... it got only worse with Nightmare's words.
'I think you made a big mistake'
Like a broken record it repeated in Error's head. With a soft sigh he put his knitting needles and scarf away. He placed his hands on his head and tried to get rid of his problems at least for a couple minutes. All those screams gave him a terrible headache. But then one voice started talking to him. Not shouting, not calling him diffrent hurtfull names... just talking.
"So... what now?"
Error was surprised. He already forgot when one of them had such calm tone in speaking to him. "What do you mean?" With confusion he asked back.
"What are you going to do now?"
To be honest, Error didn't know. It was a whole new and stressfull situation even for him. "I... don't know."
"Well, congratulations. You ruined one more life."
"Do you even know WHY you saved this abomination's life?"
Destroyer stayed silent. This question poped up in his head too many times. But he could never find an answer.
"Oh, but I know why..."
"Because you're SELFISH"
Error's breath hitched. He didn't expect this.
"Hated, alone, suffering glitch wanted some atention, company and love. Aw how cute."
"Well you found him. But you didn't even realise that doomed him for a fate even worse than death."
Their voice shifted into a dark one. They knew perfectly that Error cared for others more than for himself and his reaction let them know that they pulled a right string. Once again Error's mask cracked and his hands went to his ears to block any noise. "S-stop."
"Little innocent child will suffer in this cruel world. And all because of your stupid decision."
Error started to breath heavily. Feeling of regret washed over his SOUL and put a lot of weight on it. As if chains were put on his throat and chest, sqeezing him tighter. His bones started shaking and hurting with every move. More blue tears sreamed down his cheeks making new burning marks. He slowly opened his eyes that were now fieled with 'ERROR' sings. He didn't know when he closed them. But sudenlly, even with covered ears he heard laughter... PJ's laughter. Error looked at happy child. At his smile, his smal stature and pure eyes. All the voices turned into wispers and only PJ's voice like bell's echo could be heared in his head. Such a sweet sound. After a couple of minutes Error calmed himself down and just... smiled. So genuinely. "There are a lot of things to enjoy out there. So many possibilities in choosing your own way." He relaxed and looked at the sealing. All those puppets reminded him about AUs. It was silent for a while... until voice spoke again.
"Since when did you become an optimist?"
Error could clearly hear annoyens and surprise. He just smiled and took his needles back. "Since I lost hope."
"...that dosn't even make any sense..."
Error chuckled at that and returned to his work. To say the truth Error didn't even belive in his own words. To him they were empty, without meaning. But he will try to belive. If not for himself than for PJ.
Little child ran towards his 'friend' with happy smile. "Error! Error!". "Hm?" he looked up from his work once again. "What is it Paper Jam?" "I'm booored." Said PJ as he ploped at the ground near the taller skeleton. He looked at what Error was doing, eyes lit up in excitment. "Woa, what are you doing?" Error chuckled at childs curiosity. "I'm fixing my scarf. Or knitting as it called." Error turned his atention to PJ and smiled as he saw stars in his eyes. "Whant to try?" PJ's head snaped at his direction. "YES!" "Okay, but lets turn it in something more interesting. You need to create strings to work with, so I will teach you to use your magic." Paper Jam gasped and started squeeling. "Calm down and lets start."
After a couple hours of concentration and things like that Error gave up. 'Nothing so far. Well, maybe its too soon for him.' But the sudden sound made him to look in PJ's direction. Error's eyes widened at the sight.
In his hands Paper Jam was holding a brush... similar to Ink's but smaller.
"Hey! I did it! But what is it? Its not the same as yours." Confused Papper Jam started to examine strange object. "Try to picture something." The child looked at Error and noded. He drew butterfly at the Anti-Void's floor. "And now concentrate and imagine how it flys" He closed his eyes and did as he was told to. Suddenly PJ felt as something touched his nose. He opened his eyes and saw that his little creature was alive and sitting in front of his eyes. "Wow! Look, it worked!" PJ smiled and started to laugh as butterfly was spinning in circles around him. "Heh. Good job. Now go play I need to continue my work." And with that PJ ran off folowing his little creation.
Error turned around... but didn't do anything. Just stared at the whiteness of the Anti-Void.
'What is this?'
His smile never leaving his face.
'What is this feeling?'
He was proud. This child was something special.
'Is it... disepointment?'
He knew that PJ had a bright future... without him. Suddenly he felt something wet against his cheeks. His hand went to his face... tears.
'Am I... am I crying?'
Now Destroyer stared at his own hand with so confused expression.
'Why am I crying?'"Would you look at that. Even here he left his track"
More tears.
"Oh don't say that you're surprised"
"What a pity. He have such an amazing talent but was curesed with your blood."
So, it was true. Papper Jam was... new Creator.
"Hahahaha hilarius! You're taking care of your future enemy. Such drama."
"Can't wait to see the day when you two would fight to death."
Error was lost. What he was suposed to do? Voices didn't help too in this situation. Like venomous snakes all horrible thoughts were poisoning his mind. A little bit more and he will pass out.
"Don't worry... Its ok... Everything is going to be ok..."
"I promise"
'Promise' Errors eyes went wide. This gentle whisper reminded him his own words.
'I will take care of you'
Determination rose within his SOUL. Despite all changes he was still a Sans. And he will keep his promise... no matter the cost.
