Cottage in the Woods
❤️💜5KKKKKK THANKS GUYYYSSSS💜❤️
---Horror's POV----
"What do you mean we have to bring the old criminal gang back together?!" I yelled, standing up and glaring at the hooded figure sat in the middle of the carpet cross legged.
He sighed, leaning back slightly. "I mean, we need to bring you guys all back together."
I growled softly, looking him up and down.
He wore a dark hoodie, hood up over his face so that a shadow was cast over his eyes. A black mask covered over his mouth, making his eyes the only thing really visible on his face. He was wearing a pair of black gloves that covered over his hands completely, and long trousers accompanied by trainers. Despite looking like a bandit, I'm pretty sure he's just a kid.
"Who even are you anyway?" I hissed, looking him up and down.
"You won't know me...but I know you...and all your friends...Dust, Killer, Nightmare, Cross, Error, Geno...well, not physically of course though..."
"You didn't answer my question." I growled.
He shrugged. "Who I am is not important. What is important is who that man you saw at the back of this apartment is."
I stiffened, remembering those chilling words that guy had whispered. "What does he want from us?"
He shrugged again, sighing. "I don't know much, all I know is that he's after your children...all of your gangs kids...he won't stop until he gets them..."
"Why does he want our kids?!" I hissed, glancing at Lust as he pulled a nervous looking Desire onto his lap.
"Again, I don't know. But you'll be able to protect them better if they're all on one place. Or, they'll be able to protect themselves better."
I looked down, hating that he had a point. "What if the others don't want to get back into the gang? We all spilt up for a reason you know. Dust said he'd miss us, but he made it clear that he wouldn't join us again. And Killer, he was the same. And good luck with Nightmare and Cross. You'd have to be the most convincing person in the world to get them to join again."
Annoyingly, the kid shrugged again. "I'm sure Dust, Nightmare and Cross would come round as soon as they realised how much danger their kids are in. I'm pretty sure Killer doesn't have any kids yet though...so he'll be a a challenge."
"How much trouble are our kids really in?"
He stared at me, his eyes cold and serious. "If he gets a hold of any of them...they'll die."
Lust stiffened beside me and I immediately pulled him closer, petting Desire softly as well.
"Do you think it's a good idea?" I asked Lust, sighing softly.
He shivered, burying his face into the side of my arm. "I-I say we listen to him...I-If Desire is in danger then I want to protect him..."
I nodded, kissing his cheek before looking back at the mystery kid. "Alright then kid. Where are we going to first."
He chuckled before standing up. "Glad you see my point. First people we go get is Dust and Blue. They're rumoured to be in a cottage in the middle of the woods at the Craitown boarder somewhere. And luckily for us, that's on route to the Crossmare mansion. So we'll get them after. Genos apparently very stubborn so we'll get him later. As for Killer, we'll have to find him before we can do anything..."
I frowned. "What about Error? Inks still in Craitown as prison Chief, so Error should be there as well, right?"
He laughed, walking over to the door. "Error's in prison. That's another reason I need to gather you guys up. I'm planning on breaking him out."
And with that he walked out, not even checking to see if we were following.
"ERRORS IN PRISON?!" Lust screeched in disbelief before I silenced him by covering his mouth with a hand.
"Shh..." I hissed. "We don't want to draw attention to ourselves..."
Lust nodded softly, his eyes looking down as I removed my hand. "Sorry...I was just...shocked..."
I nodded. The fact that our leader, Error, the only person that had ever not been caught in out group was now in jail was a bit of a shock. "Out of everyone, I would of said he was the most unlikely person to get caught..."
Lust shivered, clinging to me as he stood up. "I-If Error can get caught then that means any of us could get caught..."
"And that's why I guess we're following this kid..." I muttered, grabbing a bag and filling it with a few supplies before slinging it onto my back. I also grabbed my old axe, smirking as a few memories came back.
Desire gripped onto Lust's hand tightly, looking more like a kid than ever. He looked slightly scared, and that made me feel bad immediately.
"It's going to be okay...don't worry Desire..." I said, earning a wobbly smile from him.
"O-Okay dad..."
He stayed close by Lust as we walked out of our apartment, eyeing the masked guy uncertainty. He obviously didn't like him. And I didn't really either.
"Lets go." He said, pushing off the wall he had been leaning against and walking off down the stairs.
I locked the door before quickly following, Lust and Desire close behind. "You better know what your doing, kid."
He didn't look back at me, simply continuing to walk. "Oh don't worry. I do."
"Yo Linda!" I called as we walked past. "We're going out of town for a bit so don't expect us to pay rent!"
"I SWEAR TO GO–"
Linda's angry shouting was cut off as we shut the large entrance double doors behind us and walked down the steps before going round to the back of the apartment block. Back to where I had seen him.
We walked over to the river marking Craitowns boarder and I smirked, looking down at Desire.
"Remember that story I told you about this river?"
Desire immediately perked up, giggling. "You mean the one where you and your gang were on the run! And to escape the police that octopus guy threw all your friends across?"
I laughed, nodding. "That was when our whole adventure started really. Geno got caught, Error fell in love with a police Chief, Nightmare fell for an asylum escapist and everything seemed to fall to ruin for a while. But we fixed it all."
Desire blinked, looking over at the newly built bridge that stretched over the river. "Why didn't you just run over that?"
Lust laughed, patting the top of his skull as we followed the guy across it. "That's because it hadn't been built yet, sweetheart."
I nodded. "This bridge is fairly new. If only it had been built on that day we were on the run."
"Buuuuttt." Lust pointed out. "Then the police probably would have caught us."
I laughed softly. "True, true. Nightmare throwing the others over was quite an advantage to us. Seeing as the others were all to tired to teleport and shit."
"Mmhm."
The kid in front glanced back at us every now and then as Lust and I retold our stories of danger and peril to Desire.
He loved them. He's fascinated by the fact that we used to be criminals. We've told him many times not to get any ideas about following our lead and breaking the law though.
I looked up as we walked into the forest, taking in all the tall trees and green leaves. I don't think it's changed since the last time we came here.
Except this time we can take our time. We're not running for our lives to some mystery location with the police hot on our heels.
Well...actually the mystery location thing is still happening right now, but we should find Dust and Blue's little cottage eventually. I'm sure it won't take long.
It took five hours to find that cottage. Five long hours of aimless wandering and getting lost. Several times we managed to end up where we started, looking back out at Craitown.
But now here it was. In the middle of a small clearing by a stream.
It was a quaint little cottage, with a thatched roof and small windows. It didn't have a garden, it had the forest instead.
The whole place was full of wildlife; frogs and fishes in the stream, butterflies and bees flying through the air. It seemed like something out of a god damn fairytale picture book.
The kid walked up to the door and swiftly knocked before standing back and glancing at me. "I think it would be better if you explained this..."
I sighed, stepping forwards as the door opened to reveal none other than Dust himself.
He looked at me and lust, stumbling back slightly in shock. "H-Horror?! Lust?!"
I laughed nervously, rubbing the back of my neck. "I know this is sudden...but I have a valid and reasonable explanation...kinda..."

I sighed, looking over at Dust. "Kill them all."
The reaction was immediate. What was left of the group scattered, screaming and yelling at us to stop.
But one by one they were shot down, collapsing to the floor as their legs stopped running.
Each shot was to the head, so it was a painless death. Shooting anywhere else means that they can come back as zombies. And that's something we don't want.
We were about to turn back and walk into the mansion when Killer called out.
"Hey! There's one left!"
I turned, looking over to where Killer was pointing.
Stood there amongst all the dead bodies was a skeleton.
He was quite small, his body looking so starved that it was concerning. His clothes were hanging off him in tatters, the once black and white fabric ripped and covered in blood and dirt. He had tears streaming down his face and his eyes were wide with terror. One of his pupils was red while the other was white, and he had a little zig-zag scar under his right eye. The other noticeable thing about him was the golden heart locket resting on his chest from a string around his neck.
Dust reloaded his pistol before pointing it at the skeleton.
>:3
8). Done :3
