ErrorInk:To Be Enemies Or Not To Be Enemies

Chapter 16:Error!

Ink's POV

I felt myself get yanked from the anti-void and encounter Ink!Pap. I was angry. I saw the pain and panic Error had. And Ink!Pap helped cause it.

"Take your stupid soul back. You knew, didn't you? With destroyers fighting AU protectors, the last thing the protector wants is to suddenly have something the destroyers can use! Did Nightmare tell you that he'll break Error enough to destroy a soul? Is that why you gave it?"I snap

"What? No! We hardly discussed Error when it came to planning! That was all Nightmare! Wait, he broke the deal! I'll go make him pay! I'm sorry! I was just trying to help. Give me the soul."Ink!Pap says

I toss him the broken shards of the soul. He caught them and teleports away. I open a portal with my brush and go to OuterTale.

Ah, the sweet relief of something going back to normal. I was soulless again, I was used to it. As much as I would've enjoyed having a soul, the risks are too high with destroyers on the loose. Besides, it's normal for me and has the benefits of not being able to die so easy or be manipulated by a soul if I don't have one. I sigh and realize my scarf is gone. I realize that Error must think he killed me and I feel tears fill my sockets. I cried again but stop. That won't get me anywhere. I was still filled with emotion so I draw on the ground to get my emotions steady again. I look at the sky and remember star gazing with Error. I sigh, hoping he's ok.

I then get a call from Blue. I pick it up and answer.

"Hello? Ink? Is that you?"Blue asks

"It's me, Blue. What's up?"I reply

"Oh thank the stars it's you! Error came to my place and explained that he accidentally killed you! Wait, are you alive? Or am I speaking to a spirit?'Blue says

"I'm alive, Blue. You're not talking to a spirit. Is Error okay? It seems the gang hurt him bad."I tell him

"He's on the couch right now. My bro is out currently. Dream hasn't come to help at all, no surprise. He's hurt but I don't know how bad, Dust is aiding him but won't tell me anything about his condition. I've already called in his brother to calm him but it's not working. He keeps crying or crashing or glitching. He talks of you, the truce, some promise or deal, as well as a bad dream becoming reality. Plus, he keeps saying sorry over and over. You've got some explaining to do!"Blue explains

I freeze. He cared that much about my "death"? The deal, the truce, the promise? Oh, why did I tell him about my bad dream?

"Blue...The morning after the sleepover, I woke up after having a bad dream. It basically had this all happening, but I never got up to this point in it. He, well, promised that he won't let it become a reality. And we both see how that went. Please, help him."I explain.

"Well how about you get over here and help! You're probably worth a lot of help you bonehead!"Blue shouts

"Blue, WhO aRe y0u tALKiNg tO?"I hear Error ask in the distance

The emotion in his voice felt like it would've sliced a hole in my soul if I still had one.

"Just Cross and Dream! They're asking if I would like to hang out but I told Dream of the issue so I'm denying it! Don't worry, Error!"Blue lies

"Well, tell them they have the worst timing. Plus, tell Cross to back off!"Dust could be heard saying

Jealous much?

"Already did! But not that to Cross, that's rude!"Blue says

I was unsure of what to do. I hear a portal open.
