Ink's P.O.V.

I awoke in a dark and cold chamber, restrained by chains. I couldn't remember what happened. Then, the smell. It hit my nonexistent nostrils like a smack across the face. It reeked of something deceased, rotting. That's when I realized where I was. I'd been here before on a few occasions while on missions. The Antis' Headquarters' dungeon. Which meant I was in Nightmare's castle. Just then, Dust entered the cell I was being kept in. "Awake, finally, are we?" he snickered and snapped his fingers. Nightmare appeared behind him. "Have pleasant dreams, Ink blot?" Nightmare said as he approached. He reached out his hand towards me, still getting closer. "Don't touch me!" I yelled, squirming to avoid his touch. "Calm down, we need you alive. I recommend behaving if you know what's good for you." NM grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him.

"You're sick," I retaliated and spat in his face. "Ack-it got in my eye," he looked back at me, "I told you to behave, Pet." He grabbed my neck and threw me against an opposite wall, slightly cracking the back of my skull. I didn't have time to react to the first blow as he then plunged three bones through my ribcage making me scream cough up blood. He calmly walked over to my still screaming, aching body and made me look at him again. "That was a warning, Hot-shot. Next time will be way worse." He dropped my head and walked to the cell door, "hope you've learned your leason." 'At least my family is safe,' I thought between desperate gasps for air, 'Gods, I really hate this prick.'

Nightmare's P.O.V

I sat in my throne, complete darkness surrounding our little gang. Not even I could see anything around me. But I heard the main door open and shut. "She must be here," I stated aloud, "do not attack, this is simply a...business trade." I heard grunts of compliance. Soon, approaching footsteps echoed through the throne room. I knew it was time. "Nightmare," she hissed, "where is he?" She didn't bother about the lights, I could tell she was very comfortable in the dark. "Now, now, there will be a time for that," I smirked, I knew she could sence it. "Fine. What do you want?" I felt her eyes burning into my skull. "I want you to, say, join our little team. Not to fight us, to stay here willingly, and be an active member." The burning turned hotter. "Bring him out," she commanded. Horror walked in a moment later. The lights flickered to life. Ink was shortly behind him, still weak and in chains. The girl gasped and reached out to him.

"Let him go," she said on the brink of tears. Horror brought him next to the throne and dropped the chain. Ink collapsed to the ground. "Ah ah ah~. Not yet. We're not finished here," I said. She bit back her tears. "Anything." "You will become a dedicated member of our group for exchange of Ink to be returned home and the safety of your family, correct?" I said and she just starred at Ink. "Yes. But I'm going to make sure thathe is returmed home safely," she pointed to him and demanded once again for him to be released. "Sure, Cupcake. You've got 10 minutes," I snapped my fingers and the chains disappeared. She ran to him and hugged him desperately. Uck. I stood up to leave them alone, shutting the big door behind me.

Your P.O.V. (its back)

You ran to Ink and grasped him to your chest. He groaned and his eyelids(?) could barely stay open. "Ink it's ok, I'm here, I'm here. You're ok. You're gonna go home. It's gonna be ok," You whispered into his ear hole and gently rocked him. "K-KC, what did you do?" Ink managed to ask. "Shhhh, it's ok, you're ok," you responded, "rest and save your strength. You'll be home soon." "We're going home?" Ink asked in a shaky voice. "No, you're going home," you said, failing at holding back tears any longer. "Wait what!?! KC no! Don't do this! You can fight them, you know you can!" "I know I can, but my family is more important. Now *shaky breath* you will all be safe forever," you said. At that moment Nightmare slammed the door open. "Time's up, Cupcake." You nodded and stood up, helping Ink up as well. "I'm coming with to bring him home," you said matter-of-fact.

NM huffed, "Fine, but you aren't allowed to make them aware of your presence. Try anything and we'll kill him." You nodded once more, you weren't planning on trying anything, the stakes were too high to begin with. Nightmare made a portal and motion for you to continue through, which you obliged. The portal lead to your front porch. The urge to run in and hug everyone, tell them everythings alright and be happy again thumped within your chest. "KC," Ink pleaded, "don't do this. We'll find another way!" You shook your head and kissed his forehead, "No, there is no other way. You set him down, he was too weak to stand. "I love you, Ink. I love all of you," said before ringing the doorbell and running out of sight at top speed. You stayed long enough to see Dream open the door and take Ink inside.
