Cookie clung to Error, shaking fearfully as they stood in front of a large dark rather scary castle.

He didn't like this one bit. He wanted to go home. Back to the comforting white he'd been born and raised in.

Rarely did he leave the Antivoid and Cookie preferred it to stay that way.

But this was important.

His father was going to his, 'friends'.

Or hopefully, Error had said, new babysitters.

Cookie could stay in the Antivoid alone for a few hours to a day.

But a Error had a week long trip he had to take and that was too long for Cookie to be alone.

Blue was his normal sitter. He'd come into the Antivoid to make sure he was safe while Error was gone for extended periods of time.

He was nice. A bit overwhelming, but nice.

Recently his brother, Honey, found out that Blues 'sleepovers at a friends house' wasn't the whole truth.

All Cookie knew is that Honey hurt his father pretty badly when he went to get Blue.

So now he needed a new caretaker.

Error stepped into the castle, adjusting his hold on Cookie so he was holding him in one arm at his right side.

Cookie shivered, feeling the darkness all around them.

He was only ever used to blinding white.

Darkness was rather scary for him.

Darkness was akin to the Void.

He...he doesn't like the Void.

When they reached the living area, several skeletons stood chatting.

One with a large hole in his head saw them first. He smirked and waved. "Hey, Error. Who do you have there? A little hostage?"

The others perked up at his question. All stepping in to get a better view of the new arrival.

His father huffed. "No, Horror. He's my bastard. Need Night to watch him while I'm out."

Horror stepped closer to investigate as Cookie buried his face deep into Errors shoulder.

One with a jagged red mark under his right eye sneered coldly. "Bastards right. Who in their right minds would willing be mates with someone like you?"

Error snicker. "I know. I was shocked myself when I found out I was carrying! Still have no idea who the other parent it."

A small whimper made Error look. Cookie was looking fearfully at the large Skeleton next to him.

Errors instincts told him Horror was now a little to close.

Horror, knowing better, backed up after getting a warning growl.

"Really? You don't know it's Sire? How many men did you sleep with? I didn't figure you for a slut Error." A dark goopy skeleton appeared from the shadows.

Error growled again. "Watch you words Nightmare. The reason I don't know is sire is because I can't remember sleeping with anyone or ever being interment in anyway. Even with my self." He hissed the last part.

Night hummed softly. He waved the boys away to do their chores as he looked over his friends offspring.

The faint magic coming off the child. It was nearly washed out by Errors.

With the commotion around him gone, Cookie nervously looked around.

"Weakly little thing isn't he?" Night gazed at him.

Error huffed, eye twitching. "Yes. He is. That's why I need you to look after him for a few days."

Nightmare hummed before raising a tendril and gently wrapped it around the child.

Cookie squeaked as the was pried from his fathers side and into the cooling cradle of Nightmares tentacles.

"I'll take good care of him. Any allergies I should concern myself with?" Night asked.

"Nothing I know of. Just keep him with you at all time. You may trust your boys but after what happened to the last kitten, I don't. If anything happens to him call me right away."

Cookie watched fearfully as his father opened a portal and stepped through. Just leaving him with a bunch of people he'd never met.

His father turned after a second, giving him hope that he changed his mind about this. But Error simply waved.

"His names Cookie by the way."
