Cross' POV

   I was sitting there in my broken AU, making an escape plan. Ink wouldn't help me, and I know I made a mistake in refusing Core!Frisk's offer to be saved. My soul had been taken by Error, and I had taken half of Classic Sans' soul.

    Chara was beside me, telling me what we could do when we get out. "Now tell me, how are we going to get to the next world if we don't know any routes?" I asked him. He just looked away with a face that said he wasn't thinking about that.

    That's when I got mad. My eyelights burning red and purple, I yelled at him. "I DON'T WANT TO STAY DOING NOTHING! I WANT MY WORLD BACK! I WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE JUST LIKE THEM!" I scream.

    "Seems like you're not happy for some reason. I can feel it. May I help you with that?" a black, goopy skeleton with tentacles coming out of his back said. "Who are you? Do you have anything to do with Ink?" I asked him. "How rude. I offer you my help and you attack me with your stupid questions. My name is Nightmare, and no, Ink is my enemy. I found you due to your negative feelings," he explained. "Can you move through positive feelings, too?" I questioned. "Why should I? People who are happy are fine on their own." Chara whispers something in my ear.

   "Pacifist timelines don't deserve to be happy, either," I tell Nightmare. "Ah, I like your intentions... Well, I guess I can give you the ability to access any AU you want... But I want one thing in exchange." I look at him with a questioning look. "You will work for me... For the rest of your life."
   
   What should I do? This guy is willing to free me... But I don't like the idea of working for him... I don't really trust him. "Oh come on! We'll finally be free, Cross! Don't you want that?" Chara yells at me. I just glare at him. "You're not gonna be the one doing anything, idiot," I say out loud. Nightmare stares at me. "Who are you talking to?" "Um, that's not important right now. I'll tell you later," I say looking at the ground.
   
   "Well alright then, follow me." He then proceeds to open up a portal and pulls me in. I find myself in front of a castle... No, a castle is an understatement. It's as huge as a city! It's so dark, though...

   Nightmare told me there are others I need to meet. Problem is, because of Chara, Frisk, and HIM... I have trust issues. I don't even trust Nightmare, but I guess I have to try. After all, he did save me. I sigh in relief from seeing something other than white around me.

   "Come on. We don't have all day," Nightmare said, impatiently. I follow him inside the castle and MAN! It's even bigger on the inside! I just stare at everything in amazement. We seem to be in a throne room. There are black Papyruses guarding it. Nightmare calls them 'Shadow Papyruses.'

   He then takes me to a large living room. The tv is like a movie screen! Dang, this place is amazing!

   "Alright everyone, we have a new member joining us today. Go ahead and introduce yourselves." Then, I see 5 heads pop up from the enormous couch. They all looked insane. "Have fun," Nightmare tells me, as he disappeared into a black puddle. "Wait! Don't leave me here!" I yell after him.

   "It'll be alright. We ain't gonna hurt ya," the first one said. His left eye was red and blue while the other one was just red. He also wore a hoodie. "Names Dust," he said. "Sup, I'm Killer." Killer had blank eyesockets, black goo running down from his eyes, and a target looking thing at his chest. "Horror." He had half his skull missing and one large red eye with a really small pupil. "I'm known as Swapfell. Treat me with respect." He reminds me of an edgy Papyrus... "I'm Cross, nice to meet you." I stare at the one who just fell asleep. "Nice to meet ya, too, Cross," Dust says. He gets up and walks over to me, then shakes my hand. He must've noticed me staring. "Oh, him? That's Fell, Edge, My Chemical Romance... We call him alot of things." I nod.
 
    I need my soul back.
 
  Thats when a portal opens.....

A/N
This is my first story... I'm really hoping it's not bad. I personally think I did pretty good. Well thank you for reading. I won't do many author's notes because I personally hate them. If I do, they will be very short.
