"What no!!" I yelled. All of his dust was gathered up in a jar so that later we could bury the remains once we got out of this hell hole. The jar was on the counter, safe from any harm.

The Mafia managed to kill someone this time. That's not good at all.

I look over at Dust, who was sitting on one of the many bar stools. He couldn't stop looking at the jar. I felt really bad for him, him and Horror were really close.

"I-I'LL KILL THAT MOTHERFUCKER! W-Why did it have to be you...." Dust cried. He put his head down and started to sob. To be honest, the sob was so painful emotionally, I thought I was going to cry too, but I didn't.

Killer goes and sits next to the poor guy. Nightmare is nowhere to be found. I wonder where he is...

I go and head to the bathroom. To contemplate my life. But before I enter the bathroom door, I see something...someone. It was talking to Night? Who was that?

"What are you doing here." Night said to a shadowy figure. His voice was stern, and he sounded hurt. Maybe it was because of Horror?

"Listen, I just want to talk with you. I don't like you anymore k? I'm not gonna talk about lovey dovey shit. That's disgusting." The shadow spoke.

"I know Hate, it's been really hard lately, one of my new friends has been killed. And I couldn't do anything. That stupid Mafia shot me in the shoulder!" Night slams the bathroom counter. He was still hiding the fact that I shot him and the Mafia didn't...why?

Then one of Night's eyes turn light-blue for a second. Why did that happen?

"Night your eye." Hate spat.

Night quickly covered it. Was he hiding something from me??

"I shouldn't have done it...any moment now and I'll turn into a monster!" Night yelled in frustration.

"It wasn't your fault. You did it because you felt lonely, that's all." Hate says.

I couldn't believe it....Monster..? Was my own brother......the Mafia?! No...he can't be...I can't kill him, I can't...

I reach for my bow.

"I have to go now. The others will be worried." Night says with that same stern tone from earlier.

"We won't discuss those matters until I find a way out of the corruption, at least...I hope." Night turns to leave. I ducked under the door hoping he didn't see me....

I can't just kill him!! He might kill everyone else though!! But he's not that kind of person!!

I keep debating with myself. I then position my bow towards the door.

The door opens, I freeze.

"D-Dream?" Night looks at me horrified.

"Why didn't you tell me!!" I yelled back.

"Tell you what? That I'm corrupted? Because I knew you would act like this!" Night answered.

Corrupted? What did that mean...wait...I read about this...the positive apples....mother...

"What's wrong with the tree!!" I asked.

"It's....probably dead..." Nightmare replied.

"I can't believe you. You probably killed Horror didn't you!? You fucking bitch!" I say and give him the dramatic slap in the face.

I go for round two but then someone stops me. I turned around to see that shadow that he had been talking too.

"Keep your hands to yourself." He said.

"You. you are probably the reason why he killed him!" I can't do anything because his aura felt so strong...why...?

"I didn't do anything!" Night yelled.

"Yes you did you liar! You probably killed mom!" I couldn't understand why I felt so agitated. Was I being controlled?

"I-I'm sorry!! I didn't kill Horror but I corrupted a positive apple and ate it! I have this other form and—and....I didn't kill Horror I swear!" Night explains.

"How did you get the apple huh? We're trapped here! Unless you fucking killed people to get what you want." I said.

"That's why Hate is here. I got him to give me an apple from a different timeline....I didn't kill anyone! He just came here because of all the spite everyone was feeling!" Nightmare said a bunch of other stuff but I could care less. I aimed by bow at him, and I pulled back the arrow with as much pressure as I could.

"Dream!" Blue yelled. I stopped. I looked at him. He was frightened. Everyone in the room was. "I don't know what's wrong with me." I say plainly.

"Might be me...you guys really aren't feelin great now aren't you." Hate said.

"Yeah..." I say. My spite has calmed down, or hatred has calmed down. I shoot at the wall. It spooks everyone in the tavern.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what got into me.." I say. "It's fine." Night replies.

"Why didn't you tell me you were suffering? I could have helped you!" I spoke.

"I made a mistake Dream...but I can't take it back." Nightmare then has a coughing fit. Similar to Dust. He was coughing stuff up, this weird black goopy substance. He went back to the bathroom to spit it all out. Me and Hate followed.

"Are you okay!" I yelled. He didn't reply and instead rushed to a bathroom stall toilet and started vomiting. I felt so scared. Is this what corruption did to you?

"This is normal don't worry. The negativity he consumed is slowly killing him. But it will take years for it to actually kill him." Hate explained.

Wtf?! I was horrified even more because he said that, slowly killing him?!

I pat Night's back to help him. "I-I'm f-fine D-Dream, d-don't worry..." He said.

I then start to tear up. "Why did you do this to yourself!" I cry. Night stops vomiting and wipes his mouth with a small towel given to him by Hate. He was actually crying too.

Was it telepathy? Maybe.

"I'm so tired, D-Dream..." He said. I hugged him tight. I didn't want to lose my older brother, he meant the world to me.

"Everything is going to be okay.." I say with a comforting tone.

Is this how Lust felt when he was hugging Night? It felt nice, but emotional because you could feel the negative aura.

Night then gives a shaky giggle. "I-I'm kind of c-cold Dream...haha..." He says. "Okay! I'll get you a blanket!" I say. We head out of the bathroom and everyone is silent.

"Just a bit of drama lol. Everything is fine now." Ink says.

How did he know..?

Everyone then sees Hate.

"Who the bleep is that!" Blue yelled.

"Uh, that's Hate. I don't really know what he is but he's here now." I explain.

"So he isn't the Mafia?" Ink asks.

"I don't think he is." I reply.

I then bring Night to a bar stool where I let him sit down next to the sleeping Dust. His sleeping wasn't very peaceful. He was almost always breathing fast. And he shook like crazy. "I'll find you a blanket." I say. I head out.

I find a blanket/really soft table cloth and I give it to Night.

"T-Thanks Dream." He says. I felt that nice warm feeling. Yee.

Dust then grabs Night's hand. "Wha—" Night pauses. Dust was still shaking, and his head was still down.

Maybe he is having a bad dream?

He let's go of Night's hand and then puts his head up.

"Heh..shit...sorry about that..I had a...." Dust said. "A nightmare. I could tell." Nightmare answered. Dust laughed. "Yeah..."

Blue tapped my shoulder.

"Yes?" I say.

"Look at them!" Blue points at Killer and Cross. They were playing around.

"How are you at cooking, hmm?" Killer asked.

"Definitely better than you at it." Cross replies with a smirk. "Hey, smirking is my job." Killer grabs a knife on the counter. They were going to make something together.

"They would look so cute together!" Blue's shipping mind unleashed that very moment.

Cross and Killer turned to face our direction.

"Me and him? No way! He has the IQ of an shit emoji!" Cross yelled. I bursted out with laughter from that comment.

"Wow really? Is that what you think?" Killer probably felt betrayed and that was funny to me and Cross.

Everything is great! Me and Blue were hardcore shipping, Night and Dust were comforting each other, and Cross and Killer were trying to prove who was better at certain things.

All I want is peace. Like this.

Hate was just chilling in the corner. Lust then started to communicate with him, which freaked him out a bit but then they became friends. Me and Blue then joined in on the conversation.

Reaper, Geno and Error were chatting as well. I still don't understand why one of us was trying to kill everyone, we were all great friends?

Why....?
