ErrorInk:To Be Enemies Or Not To Be Enemies

Chapter 78:It's only the beginning

Geno's POV

I slowly wake up from a nap, still stuck in this large box. I slowly try to move but it hurts. I still have the cloak so everything that occurred wasn't a dream. But I can hear movement. Someone was outside the box. I hesitate but know I should find out who.

"Hello? Someone there?"I call out

"Geno! You got boxed? Let me get you out!"A voice says

The lid comes off and Dream peeks in.He smiles and leans out of my sight. The hood slides over my face. I slowly get upand peek out of the box. He is in a red box and I am in a blue one. He leans on rhe sides and smiles at me kindly. I grip the edges tightly.

"I-I'm ok, Dream. I'll stay where I am. Where are we? Why are we in boxes?"I ask

"We are being transported to a safer place. The house was compromised. It was attacked. But we are safe. The boxes are to protect us and make it subtle."He says

"Who calls neon boxes subtle?"I ask

"Ink!Pap does. He made these."He says

"I see..."I say

"Any other questions?"He asks

"How are we getting transported?"I ask

"Some truck."Dream says

I nod. I smile. At least I am safe. We are going somewhere safe.

"Where is everyone?"I ask

"In other trucks and boxes. Reaper is who knows where and Error has gone missing."He replies

"Oh..."I say

"But I see you are wearing his cloak. Is there something going on between you two? Are you okay? Where have you been?"Dream asks

I feel my face burn a bit. That bit grew and grew the more I thought of a response.

"Well, I uh, dunno about okay. I've kinda been stuck with one of Renew's helpers after I was kidnapped. I-"I try to explain

"You were kidnapped?"Dream cuts me off

I nod.

"I didn't know! Why didn't you call us? Call me?"He asks

"They don't exactly let their prisoners have phones or ways to call for help, ya know."I say

"Ooooooh! Continue. What about you and Reaper?"He says

I begin to wonder how clueless Dream is or why I'm here. And I also wonder how I got stuck here with him, a small part of me did at least.

"Well, he did save me-"I say

"Him? Save you? That seems far-fetched. With his job and all."Dream, once again, cuts me off

"Yes him. Indeed. It isn't. Because it happened. And if you want to talk about far-fetched you can go talk to Raven about that. Or Goth."I say

"Why them?"He asks

"Because they are kids of alternate versions of Reaper and I. So is Shino but I don't want you hurting her feelings with whatever will come out of your mouth or offend her with her family and all."I say

"OOOOOooooo! No wonder they look like you and Reaper."He says

"Yes, exactly."I say

"Continue."He says

"Ok. That was what I am trying to do to answer your questions."I say

"You were?"He asks

I nod.
