Papa Nightmare? [Nightkiller] [English Version]

CHAP 33

Narrator:

In the castle of the King of Nightmares, the second meeting of the week was held in the same room as always with the same members as always that included Nightmare, Killer, Dust, Horror, Error, Cross, Fell, Rasp and by pure chance the missing member Hate.

Everyone was arguing about better ways to handle gaining negative feelings through the chaos caused by attacking the Au's. Obtaining negativity would be an easy mission for the feared group of Bad Guys if it weren't for the annoying interference of the Star Sanses, who always, no matter what, found a way to ruin or twist their plans even though they were just a simple group of three "weak" and "naive" skeletons (According to their opinions).

The meeting was on track and was proceeding normally with the only slight difference that there was still a small atmosphere of curiosity, mainly caused by the desire to know more details about what had happened the previous day.

By Hate rarely attending meetings he had missed the big show and had to find out about the gossip from the mouths of others and now he was also curious, he could easily ask the nightmare directly but he appreciated his life just like the others.

Questions like: "When did it happen?" "Since when did the Boss find a partner?" "Who would that person be?" "Would the Boss's partner be as cold and sinister as him?" "Will the Boss present them to us someday?" ran through the minds of the Bad Guys.

Killer was no exception.

Even though he had had the opportunity to spend the entire day with Nightmare and Crescent, he was curious to know who the mother of such an adorable little angel could be.

Every time he tried to ask about that person while he was with them his question was evaded or they would suddenly changed the subject. With no other option, poor Killer could only keep his questions to himself and not talk about it again.

In a way, the killer hoped that if he managed to meet the person who had managed to captivate Nightmare's attention, he would be able to give up and finally free himself from continuing to cling to an unrequited love.

Not only that, but the idea that that person could be someone close to him or someone he knew caused him a lot of anxiety.

As he thought and thought he even feared that while he was grieving over losing his baby, Nightmare was probably rolling around in bed with someone else...

What assured him that he didn't do it even before that night or while he was sleeping because of the pregnancy?

Those types of thoughts only caused him anger, sadness and stress.

Yesterday gave him a lot to think about and while he was at the meeting he just wanted everything to end quickly so he could return to his Au to rest.

His thoughts and the meeting were interrupted when he heard the door being opened.

"Papa?" little Crescent spoked, rubbing his sockets sleepily and with light tears running down his cheekbones, it was still early but he woke up having a nightmare, when this happened he always went to his father's room, his uncle Dream's or his cousin Lux's room so he coild be consoled but this was not the same house where he lived before, he still didn't know the castle completely and when he checked his father's room he didn't find him there.

With no other option, little Crescent could only walk through that enormous castle in the hope of finding his father. When he heard voices coming from the meeting room, he did not hesitate to open the door immediately, taking him to the current situation where he was still in his pajamas and helding his emerald green rabbit stuffed animal tightly as he was watched by everyone in the room.

"What's up champion?" The nightmare asked, opening his arms to welcome Crescent.

The little boy, upon identifying his father's voice, desperately ran towards him and hugged him, letting out those tears that he was trying to hold back.

"Another bad dream?" asked the nightmare, gently caressing Crescent's head to comfort him.

He only nodded with his head still buried in his father's chest and clenching his fists to strengthen his grip on the clothes of the Head of the Bad Guys.

"Do you want to talk about it?" the King of Nightmares asked again, making his son finally take his face off his chest and raise his gaze slightly.

"E-everything was dark and-and gloomy" he began to relate, still with his teary sockets, completely forgetting that he was being watched by his father's subordinates "Papa appeared i-in the middle of the darkness b-but when I tried to call you you d-disappeared *sniff*, then appeared Mo-" Crescent stopped before finishing the last word as he remembered where he was located and who he was surrounded by.

Everyone had their sight focused on Crescent and this only began to cause him a state of panic as he was not used to the presence of so many people, much less to being the center of attention.

About to burst into tears because of how scared he was, he noticed the presence of someone in particular. Seeing who was in the room, Crescent rubbed his sockets, removing all traces of tears, and left his father's arms, running towards him.

"Mommy!" Crescent shouted hugging Killer.

The killer who was surprised by that act reacted instinctively by placing little Crescent on his lap and hugged him back, completely forgetting the stress he felt.

(Like mother like son, guys, these two always forget the things around them or rather "who" surrounds them)

When Crescent realized that his hug was reciprocated, he felt security and warmth in his mother's arms, more relaxed, he slowly closed his sockets, unable to bear the fatigue for another minute and falling into a deep sleep.

This formed a smile on Killer's face, trying to adjust his arms better with the intention of making Crescent more comfortable and easier for him to sleep peacefully in his lap.

Finally emerging from his trance, the murderer remembered the presence of his companions, his cheekbones turned red with shame and he was completely sure that he had created a huge misunderstanding.
