Papa Nightmare? [Nightkiller] [English Version]

CHAP 25

Nightmare's POV:

After leaving Killer's room, I carefully went down the stairs without making any noise, checking for signs of the others.

As I passed through the living room I couldn't see the others so I just headed to the kitchen to start dinner.

Not long after they began to arrive one by one.

"Hello Boss~" spoke Dust who teleported directly to the couch, as I was very focused on the kitchen I didn't pay much attention to him and just ignored him.

Shortly after, Cross arrived along with Razz, Horror and Red. Not seeing Error, I assumed he would come later.

"Do you need help with food?" Horror asked me as he approached the kitchen.

"A little help wouldn't hurt now that you mention it" I responded making way for Horror to stand next to me helping me cut some vegetables.

In a moment as quiet as this, a memory from the past came to mind...

I remember it was about a few months after a town formed at the bottom of the hill.

Dream and I did not need to eat since our food is positive and negative feelings.

I had heard how my brother wanted to try the food that the villagers ate so I secretly borrowed one of the books from the library and learned several things about some tricks in the kitchen.

I had everything ready to surprise my brother with what I would cook, the only thing missing was the small detail of asking him if he could stay with me that night...

Unfortunately that day the townspeople had dragged him to a festival that was going to be celebrated in the center of town and in the end I couldn't say a single word to him.

My brother was so kind that he cared more about others than himself, so much so that he forgot that that day was his birthday...

Or rather...

Our birthday...

I shook my head several times to forget that memory and focus on the kitchen, a memory like that should only remain locked in the depths of my mind.

~Hours later~

It's been 6 hours since we returned from the lab of Science and Killer refuses to leave his room.

I had promised myself to respect his personal space, but I won't let him skip any meals, not while I'm still the owner of this castle.

Everyone was already placed in their respective seats to start dinner and Killer was the only one missing.

A little angry and worried I went up the stairs quickly having stopped in front of the killer's door.

"Killer *knock* *knock* It's time for dinner!" I spoke and then shouted while knocking on the door, without receiving any response from the other side.

I waited a few moments thinking that in a short time he would open it for himself and I leaned against the wall on one side of the entrance.

Tired of waiting, I forced the door open, looking around to see if I could find any traces of Killer.

Little was my surprised wen I find him curled up in a ball in one of the darkest corners of his room, his face still showing no emotion.

'Seriously, this must surely be the day I've sighed the most' I thought after taking a long sigh.

I used the same strategy as in Science's laboratory, only this time I took Killer with one of my tentacles and placed him in my arms to carry him until we reached the dining room where everyone else was waiting for us.
