Chapter 4: Watched


Eraser felt like an absolute idiot once he had said that. Facing Reboot who just stared at him, a small question mark symbol in one of his pupils.

"... felt what???" The smaller skeleton asked nervously as he fiddled with his multi-coloured fingers

The swap destroyed hesitated, "u-uh... you made me feel...."

'fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck!! think Eraser!?' He hissed in his mind. Trying to come up with something to say without making himself sound weak and cowardly.

He glanced back at Reboot who was now staring at him with curiosity. And for some reason Eraser felt his cheeks heat up at the sight before looking away. 


"Nothing." He muttered.

Reboot frowned slightly and leaned back into the couch, "okay.." He mumbled with a hint of sadness which made Eraser feel guilty.

'God darn it... why are these emotions so fucking annoying!?' He complained in his head as he looked down. Awkwardly sitting there next to the swap creator who was trying to bring up some sort of conversation which wouldn't lead to any arguments of sorts.


Reboot let his eyes hover around the room before he jerked a little, his eyes on the window. He saw someone.

His eyes widened a little and his pupils became smaller with fear. Terror. Horror.

That man from his dreams. Standing there like a stalker and watching him with dark void-like eyes.

Watching.

Examining his prey.

Reboot stared at the man, a chill shooting up his spine as he felt his magic spark a little.

The man grinned the moment that spark hit Reboot.


Eraser had noticed the change in Reboot's behavior and was watching him with a raised brow. He could see that the smaller skeleton was now trembling as his hands were gripping his scarf. He then followed his still gaze and looked to the window....


and yet...

he saw nothing but the snowy forest outside.

Strange... But then again Reboot was weird. N-NOT THAT ERASER THOUGHT THAT!


He moved a hand and waved it in front of Reboot's eyes which glitched a little before he drew back, letting out a soft quiet whimper as he rubbed his eyes. Wincing.


He pulled his hands away slowly, looking towards Eraser with a nervous look. "W-what?"


Eraser narrowed his eyes, still confused and wonering what on earth Reboot had seen. "You were staring at the window. "He simply stated as he leaned back, having a calm look as he watched to see if he'd react in anyway.


Reboot almost immediately whipped his head and looked towards the window. Nothing.


The frick.


He calmed, less tense than he had been before.

Eraser noted this down in his head. He had definitely seen something there. And whatever it was had scared him so much... but what?


Eraser opened his mouth, "what did you see?"


"N-Nothing..."


He growled a little, "come on, Reboot. I know you saw something and I know you're hiding something from me. SO you better tell me now or I'll-" He realized he had almost threatened him. He inhaled slowly, closed his eyes and opened them.

"Just tell me..." His tone softened.


Reboot watched and looked down. "I... I just... I saw someone... that's all..."He rubbed the back of his head.

"Who?"


"I-I don't know..." He glanced at Eraser and saw his look before adding. "I-I mean... I don't know his name... I haven't seen him before in... reality. Only dreams..."


Eraser slowly nodded, "and what did he look like?"


Rebbot's breath hitched. "w-well... he was tall. Wearing all black and he had a white skull, u-um... he has these black empty eye sockets but sometimes there are purple pupils. And then there are these cracks on his face..."He trailed off as he saw the look on Eraser's face.

Horror.
