Ashes would prefer to forget, and end even strange places for him. Notes at End

Erebus curled against Ashes, the small child's breath a bit off as he slept.

Clearly a nightmare, pardon the pun. Or memories, as he was pretty sure Ashes had plenty of horror stories in his life.

They were in some multiverse, a forest of some AU. A blanket pulled around the winged babybones, he wished there was more as the air was chilly and was getting colder. He knew Ashes did not care if he died, but from what he understood freezing to death was horrifying.

The scent of liquid came to his nose, gently he licked Ashes face realizing they were crying in there sleep.

(I'm here) he told him, hoping the sleeping child heard him.

"I told you to stay out of sight!"

The nameless child stared at the floor blankly from where he sprawled after being thrown, a bruise quickly forming on his neck where Reaper had semi strangled him for disobeying him.

At least he wasn't bleeding this time, bruises were easier to hide as long as his 'parents' avoided his face.

"Sorry sir, your Son Goth found this place and thought I was a playmate you brought to play with him" they replied truthfully, he was not allowed to talk to Geno or Reaper's perfect children but that had become an issue when Goth found this shed he lived while with Reaper.

He preferred living with Ink, his sire didn't hurt him. Dream and Palette ignored him, but at least he had a bed and food.

Even if Ink sadistically fed him semi toxic paint mixtures to see his reactions, some were quite amusing while the worst had Ink dropping healing foods on top of him.

Somehow that felt worse.

"Fuck... going to have to move the shed," Reaper snarled, knowing Geno wanted nothing of there mates abomination near them.

The child didn't have a good opinion on there step parent if Geno had any claim to that, they seemed to claim them instead of Reaper for straying into Inks bed. Same for Dream, Guardian of positivity his ass.. the other monster was a coward as it was clear Ink only saw him for sex and emotions there powers gave him.

"Don't think my child finding you, stops you from being punished," Reaper smirked, the child screamed in pain as the death bringers foot came down fast.

(Ashes, Ashes.. its okay yours awake)

Ashes sat up with a gasp, blankly staring at his hands.

No cracks, now scars or gouges in them.

"I'm awake..." he said pulling Erebus into his arms, shivering he curled into his blankets eyes rather blank.

He felt himself relax as Erebus started purring in comfort, there fluffy head under his chin.

(Whoever it was, they can't hurt you anymore)

That didn't make it easier.

------

Your a bit lost aren't you?

(Ashes.. the void is talking) Erebus said wide eyed.

"This is new..." Ashes said with a wide grin, they'd somehow ended in the void after the forest AU crashed. A small island not consumed yet, a bubble of reality not taken away yet "But yes a bit lost, I'd rather not die via void"

Its not for everyone, or so my voidling says

"So.. a way out?" Ashes asked hopefully.

A moment... I'm not best at guessing safe places I can let you out

Guardian feline and bonelette shared a look, today was a bit strange even for them.

Voidling helped, he advised me axetale was a bad spot

The two shivered, yeah even Ashes avoided those places.

But did say, Booktale was fine

Ashes yelped as Erebus and himself suddenly hit the ground outside the void, the feel of void fading away.

"Um.. thanks?" Ashes called out as he got up.

(Lets not do that again)

------

Error raged, he'd been so close to Moonlight.

He'd been twenty feet from them, then he'd make sure his moonlight could never escape again.

You feel gross, tainted by those crazy ones

He had also run out of alcohol

"I need to find moonlight," he cried to the voice.

I don't want to eat you, there craziness tastes wrong. You know what, enjoy

Moments later he found himself face first in slushy mud, getting up he smiled. This felt like an axetale.

Fun.
