Error's POV

We were all coming home from a long day of work. It seemed that everyone had a mission, including Ink and Nightmare. We all arrived at the mansion at the same time but, something was different. The windows of the building were smashed and the door was broken in half. There wasn't any major damage but someone has definitely been here. I stood in front of Ink protectively, just in case the stranger was still in there. Looks like Dust, Killer, and Horror had the same idea.

Nightmare: I'm going in.

Cross: Just be careful.

Nightmare went in for a few seconds then came back out.

Nightmare: It's safe. I couldn't detect anything.

Ink held my hand tightly as we walked in. I could tell he wanted to run. When we got inside, I looked around the room, analyzing the state of it. The furniture was destroyed and the chandelier laid broken on the floor. The kitchen counters were cracked and the dining table was in pieces. However, the pantry was untouched, which is a plus. It seems this stranger didn't want anything. They wanted to send a message of some sorts but what could it mean?

Everyone went to their room just to make sure nothing was stolen. I went into mine. The ceiling light was broken which meant that it was dark. I opened the closet to make sure the instrument was still there. It was.

'Thank god.'

I checked my drawers that held all of my puppets. None of them looked to be missing. I sat on my bed and thought about what happened while we were gone. Suddenly, I heard a light giggle from the corner of my room. Looking up, I saw a silhouette of a man. I jumped out of being startled but then got into a fighting stance.

???: Now now, let's not get excited.

He started to circle me.

???: Now look what you've done. Don't worry. This is only the beginning. The boss wants all of you abominations to be erased from existence. So... if I were you, I'd start watching over that precious little Ink of yours.

I clenched my hands and he noticed.

???: Uh oh. I think I pressed the wrong button. Nothing will happen to him, only if you don't tell anyone about this. It would be a shame if something were to happen to Ink.

And with that, he disappeared.
