Death walked down the steps of the medical center to the outside. The blue lights shined down on him letting him see the path to the tunnel, not that he needed it. He could easily see through the dark even if every blue stone were to break and leave everything in darkness.

Death laid back on telling geno anymore then he was meeting with yellow district. Hopefully geno only thought of it as a name to a person of some sort, death didn't want to give geno any information on them if he were to leave and head back to the monster kingdom.

The small pebbles that made a pathway to the tunnel crunched under deaths grey boots, making them audible for anyone by to hear.

Two vampire soldiers stood at the side of the entrance of the tunnel like they always do. Death stood to a halt in front of the tunnel and between the two soldiers.
"Don't let anyone out, and if someone does request to enter the tunnel, deny the request and later tell me who asked. Understand?" Death said in a serious voice, both of the soldiers nodded but didn't say a word.

"Good," death said and entered the tunnel.
It was long and dark, to some monsters, but death easily walked through it without any distractions. As he got closer to the end, he saw a figure standing at the end.
But as soon as he got close enough the figure dissappeared.

"What the....." deaths voice trailed as he walked faster, he pulled his staff from his cloke and held it tight.

When he finally made to the end of the tunnel he carefully and slowly walked out.
He was immediately met with the grey foggy forest as it clouded his vision.
"Damn," death whispered forgetting about the figure he saw, "its getting even more foggy. I can hardly see through it."

A whoosh sound from behind death made chills go up his spine. He quickly turned around and raised his staff.
No one was to be seen, death started step back from the tunnel, holding his staff in the air tightly and firmly.

Another whoosh went from behind him again, death turned as fast as he could and swung his staff to only hit air.

Death then looked all around the forest, not a soul was to be seen. Death sighed, slightly lowering his staff.
"My imagination," death sighed and looked up.

"BOO!!!"

Death shrieked and jumped, only to trip over a root of a tree and fall face first into the hard dirt.
A voice behind him hollered in laughter as death groaned.
"Ow..." death gasped.

Death pushed himself off the ground,  his face was slightly tinted blue as he turned to face the laughing figure.
"Every time!" Death said through gritted teeth.

"Aww come on death," the voice laughed as they got closer, "I'm just trying to have fun, you look tense."

Death brushed the dirt off his cloke and gave a small glare, "we're supposed to be talking about serious stuff, Nim. There's no time to joke around."

"Death stop being so serious all the time," Nim said and gave death a hug, death hugged back, burying his face in crook of Nim's dress.

Nim looked down and smiled at death, she was a tall green lizard. Her long nails were the color yellow and so were her eyes. She wore the same colored cloke as death but had yellow highlights instead of red. Her cloke was make in to the shape of a dress unlike deaths.

"You need to relax death," Nim hummed, "you're still a teenager, just wait till you're my age. You'll be the only one running your district instead of having one other person to help you."

"That's why I need to be serious," death said and crossed his arms, he sighed and made his way to a tree where he sat down next to it.
"My birthday is coming up, that's the deadline. That's when I'll have to have the entire district in my control. So I need to focus."

Nim looked at death for a few seconds for giving a small sad smile. She walked over to him and sat down with him.
"I see they lowered the age for a full fledged district leader," Nim sighed.

Death nodded, "the second in command is getting old, and since he was in charge of the polls he held a vote. Almost everyone voted for the age to be lowered so I can have complete control of everything." Death sighed and scratched his head.

"That's horrible," Nim spat, "you'll work yourself to death!"

Death looked at her in confusion, Nim sighed and looked at death with a 'really' expression.
"That wasn't a pun," she gave a small laugh and flicked deaths shoulder.

"Oh," death smiled, "I thought for a second that you were just plain horrible at them."

Nim laughed and checked her watch she had in her pocket.
"Damn it," she frowned and got up, "we gotta make this quick, I have to be back soon. What was it that you wanted to talk to me about?"

Death stood up and went straight to the point, "remember when I reported that bleeding monster, well another came. Much more violent then the other one. Luckily it was killed, have any attacks occurred in yellow district?"

Nim scratched her chin, "no, it's been pretty peaceful these past couple of months."

"Good," death said, "if anything happens tell me."

Nim nodded and continued to listen.

"Today when I woke up Dr. Kim called me to his lab -"

"Was it about project L.R?" Nim interrupted.

Death shook his head, "here's the thing, a few days ago when me and g- when I got hit by the X it got some sort of...pink goo in my shoulder."

"What?" Nim asked curiously, death lifted his sleeve reveling his cut shoulder.

Nim cringed and brushed it with her fingertips, "man it got ya good," Nim winced, "those are really deep cuts, does it hurt?"

"Sore," death said and pulled down his sleeve, "But anyways, when I went down there Dr. Kim showed me what it was."

°°°°°°°°

"That makes no sense!" Nim said after death finished explaining everything, he left the parts about the nightmares and geno out of it.
"How is that possible!?" Nim said confused.

"Dr. Kim is working on it as we speak probably," death sighed and looked at his watch as well.

"We really need to go back, we've waisted enough time," Nim sighed and gave death a hug.

Death hugged back, "yeah, I have some things I need to check on."
Death pulled away from the hug but was gently grabbed by the shoulder.

"One more thing death," Nim said seriously, "I've been hearing some rumors in yellow district about red district having a new monster."

Death stared at her but didn't reply, Nim sighed and looked around.

"And what I've heard they're apart of the scouts," Nim whispered, "and not just any scouts, the scouts. Specifically made by King Asgore. Is this true death? Please be honest with me, leaders can't afford to lie with each other, especially with the pile of problems that are happening with us."

Death stared at her for a few moments before sighing and putting his head down.
"Yes, he's been here for a couple of days, not really sure how many."

Nim's eyes widened and backed away one step.
"Death! Why would you keep a scout here?! Especially with your district having most of the kids in it!"

"He got separated from the scouts," death said in geno's defense, "in fact he didn't even want to be in it."

"That doesn't matter!" Nim argued, "what if he hurts someone!?"

"The one time he used violence on us was when a vampire tried bitting him for their own humor," death argued back, "and he helped me, I wouldn't be alive if he hadn't help me fight the X. In fact! He helped the all the kids escaped to the castle!"

Nim glared at him, they both stared at each other and started to calm down.
"Look, death." Nim frowned rubbing her neck and fixing her dress, "you know how much of a risk it is to have a scout here."

Death looked away and nodded, "don't worry, I'm not going to let him leave. Not unless he proves himself to be trusted completely."

"No death," Nim sighed and put a hand on his shoulder, "even if he were to let you bite him to show you how much he could be trusted, we can't risk it. We just..........just can't."

"Think about how many families we have," Nim said, "we can't have them killing us off, not again."

"What about his family," death mumbled, Nim looked at death with a sad expression.
"I'm sorry, his family probably thinks he's dead. We just can't risk it, death."

"But-"

"No," Nim sighed sadly and let go of deaths shoulders, "no risks, no risks at all."

Death looked away and focused on the ground. He knew she was right, death had a small amount of trust for geno but he can't risk it.

"Alright,"
