Such a melodic sound, like a song as small water droplets made their way down from the moist ceiling and landing on the ground, echoing along the damp walls of the Waterfall cavern. A sound so sweet and innocent like the song from Shyren. Everyone, in any AU, simply loved the tranquility and peace that Waterfall had to offer them. The way the water bends and flows through the river, following an endless path and flowing on forever, makes people want to follow the water and see where it will take them. The smell of fresh dew on the azure echo flowers, filling their cavern with whispers of secrets and outspoken thoughts they caught when someone walked by. And just the calming aura that Waterfall brings, with no worries or fears, inviting anyone to come and bask in the peace and quiet.

It's such a lovely place.

......But not for one AU.......

This Waterfall was no longer a bright, happy blue, it was now smeared with the crimson red of blood and the white chunks of monster dust decorating the floors and walls. The echo flowers, once holding wishes and joy, now only mimicked the piercing screams from victims of all ages and sizes. The once clear blue water that flowed through Waterfall in a pristine path through the darkness, was now tainted with the blood of victims, the water swirling yet not mixing with the sickening red substance.

Waterfall was now eerie and quiet, as if the peacefulness of the whole place was dead, and replaced by fear. Nothing was the same, no one was there to enjoy the once beautiful Waterfall....and yet.....the drips continued...

These sounds came not from the cavern tops, and not from the pour of the waterfall, but from the red stained blade of the skeleton that caused this to happen. One look at him, and you would assume he was crying, black streams flowing down his empty eye sockets as if they' re tears, as if he was feeling awful for what he just did. However, seeing the wide, sick smile that was plastered on his face, you would know the truth. He loved it all. He loved seeing the fear in the eyes of monsters as they lost their life. He absolutely loved the screams, getting louder and louder every time he attacked. And he LOVED the strength it gave him, the way it made the red target beat like it was his heart, wanting more, begging for more ,making him feel so alive.

"Ah, there you are~"

The voice caused the skeleton to turn around with incredible speed, his blade rising up to meet the throat of the one who spoke to him. The tip of the blade froze the moment he saw who was speaking to him. Nightmare, the one who stood before him, looked at the knife by his throat then at the one who was staring at him, a mock look of sadness crossed his face as he gave a pout.

"Well now, that's not very nice of you, Killer"

Killer, the one who held the knife at Nightmares throat, kept the smile on his face as he put the blade away in his own hidden pocket before shoving his hands in the pockets of his red stained hoody.

"Heh, my bad. Wasn't expecting to see you so soon."

The way he spoke could send chills down anyone's spine, but the embodiment of Nightmares himself felt more of a warm tingle up his own spine. Oh how he loved the sound of this monsters voice.

"How could I not resist the delicious fear rising in this AU?"

Nightmare spoke as he passed Killer, observing and admiring all the chaos and bloodshed that happened not too long ago.

"You've certainly had fun while I was away, this whole AU is nothing but a graveyard of dust. Well done."

Killer shrugged his shoulder nonchalantly, plopping himself down on the ground and resting his chin in his hands as he kept his head up, boredom clearly showing on his face. While he did have his guard lowered, there was still a part of his mind keeping his senses up, in case Nightmare tried to do anything.

"Yeah, but now it's over. It was kinda boring too, ya know? No real challenge here, all of them just free XP for the taking."

A smirk he's all too famous for made it onto Nightmares face as Killer spoke.

"So you're bored and want a change? Well then, do I have a gift for you, my friend~"

The way he purred out the word friend sent a sharp chill through Killers spine, and as soon as he turned his head to look at Nightmare in confusion of what he was saying. Before he could move, Nightmare appeared right behind Killer, restricting the movement of his hands by wrapping his black tendrils around Killers hands and arms, raising them above his head so he couldn't use them. Killers breath hitched in his mouth, his body frozen like an animal stuck in a trap. A choked gasp left his mouth as he felt Nightmares arms wrap around his torso, pulling him closer to the body of nightmares himself. Another low purr emitted from Nightmares throat, as if he was a cat trying to calm his kitten.

"Aww, is my little Killer scared? Good~. Your fear tastes delicious~"

Killers body was still stiff as he felt Nightmares warm breath on his neck, a pair of what he knew was Nightmares sharp teeth grazing his neck gently, ready to bite at a moments notice.

"Don't worry Killer, you're very lucky that I find your hatred and strength very.....useful to me. However..."

A scream left Killers mouth, despite his best efforts to hold it back, as Nightmare sank what might as well be his fangs into the nape of Killers neck. As the fang broke the surface of the bone, a black substance started making its way onto Killers neck, swirling and bending in what looked like a beautiful work of art, hiding the horrifying truth of what just happened. When Nightmare pulled away, he licked his teeth with a smile and a soft hum of delight for what he just did.

"You try to run away, even have a single thought of betraying me, then you can say goodbye to your life. Understood?"

A simple nod was all Killer was able to give as a response, and lucky for him, Nightmare accepted it. He didn't move though, and he didn't let his arms go, keeping them above his head and out of the way, which confused and alarmed Killer. Wasn't he done already? What more could he do? Or what more does he want? A sigh left Nightmares mouth as he rested his chin on Killers shoulder, showing no signs of letting go or leaving. His arms staying uncomfortable wrapped around Killers torso, tightening ever so slightly as the seconds passed. It was as if Nightmare was needing this contact, craving something to hold onto.

Mocking the hold of a lover.

"You're mine now Killer, don't you dare forget that. Now, here's what I need you to do~"
