I bleed for you ~A sequel to I bleed Red | An Ink x Reader~

~Ink's POV~

THAT MOTHERFUCKING SON OF A BITCH WAS GOING TO HAVE A BAD TIME.

I was pacing back and forth while trying not to hyperventilate. She was gone... just like that. Just like last time. How could I have let this happen?!

"I would try and bully you right now but it almost seems too easy." Blade sneered as she watched me pace and hold my skull in my hands. I had to resist the urge to scream at her out loud since I was still in the presence of Kris, Susie, Ralsei, and Lancer. So I opted to yell at her in my mind.

'THIS REALLY ISN'T THE TIME RIGHT NOW, BLADE!' It was true after all. I needed to think of a plan to get Y/n back before she got hurt. I couldn't live with myself if she got hurt like that again. She's had so many close calls...

"I guess you're right. After all you're already so close to embarrassing yourself in front of the others. Wouldn't want them to think you're a crazy person now wouldn't you?"

I growled at her under my breath. Normally I didn't get like this due to her bullying but everything was just falling down around me. I flinched when I felt a tap at my shoulder.

"Your friend is waking up." Kris informed me before turning back from where he was standing before. I was glad he was alright at least. Cross's victims can sometimes have negative effects from being possessed.

I walked over to where Ralsei was attempting to heal Nightmare. Green magic swirled all around him and he was starting to finally stir.

"Ngh, what happened?" He asked as he rubbed the top of his skull while sitting up from the grass. The tentacles that had been stiff still were starting to sway slowly again.

"Y/n's gone-"

"GONE?!" Nightmare interrupted me, quickly standing up from the ground with the help of his tentacles. He groaned and had to hold onto a nearby tree to not double over. He held a hand to his skull in apparent pain.

"C-Careful! Y-you might need to r-rest some more." Ralsei tried to warn but Nightmare brushed him off.

"I'll be fine. What do you mean she's gone, Ink?"

"Cross... he took her. Susie charged at him and he teleported behind Y/n and took her through a portal. I should of seen it coming... I should of been faster." I criticized myself, feeling disappointed in my own failure to save her.

"I'm sure there was nothing you could've done. I'm not blaming you for it. We just... have to try and get her back." Nightmare tried to console me. How ironic it was to have the literal embodiment of negative emotions try and make me feel better.

"Obviously we do. We need to get the others. If we're not fast in rescuing her then she might get seriously hurt."

"I'll know if that happens. I'm fine-tuned into her emotions after spending 5 years together."

This was a bit of a surprising revelation. "You can do that?"

"Of course I can. It's about the only good thing I can do in this situation... She's asleep right now, probably knocked out if I were to guess."

"I guess that's good... she won't have to experience anything for a while. Now, let's go to um..." I had no idea who to turn to first. We all weren't living in one area now so I had to choose.

"Um... We could see Dream?" Nightmare suggested, unsure.

"Yeah... let's do that."
