---Cross' POV----

Something had happened. X had been in our cell, preparing to do something to Chara and I when suddenly sirens went off, blaring alarms ringing throughout the whole complex.

X had stiffened, seeming almost panicked as he dropped the injectors he had been holding and checked something on a phone. Security footage probably.

And then he just up and left, running out of the cell and leaving us there.

"C-Cross?"

I stayed curled up in a ball on the floor, not answering.

Chara shifted over to me, patting my shoulder lightly. "D-Do you think those alarms could be from the others coming to save us...?"

He sounded so hopeful it made my half-soul ache more than it already was.

"I-I hope so..." He mumbled to himself. "But even if it is them...th-there's no guarantee that they'll be able to find us... O-Or that they'll survive trying to find us..."

I didn't respond to that either, simply hugging myself tighter as the memory of X crushing my unborn child's soul played over and over in my mind.

"C-Cross? C'mon...please don't be like this...w-we need to work together, remember?"

"Moving about won't change anything..." I mumbled defeatedly. "We can't leave this cell...we can't ever leave this cell..."

"D-Don't think like that Cross...N-Nightmare could literally be on his way to save us!"

I looked up at him hopefully, wincing as he gently wiped away the tears running down my cheeks with his sleeves. "Y-You really think so? D-Do you really th-think the others will have c-come with him to save us?"

"Cross...he's so in love with you that I wouldn't be surprised if he came all the way here to free you all by himself. No help. Just him. So try be a little positive. Just think that soon enough you could be happy in his arms, not having to worry about this anymore..."

I smiled weakly, slowly uncurling from my ball. "Th-Thanks Chara...I-I hope you're right..."

He rolled his eyes, snickering. "Oh you should know by now Cross, I'm always right."

Normally I would have laughed at something like that. Buy currently almost all the joy and humour inside of me as just faded into non-existence. The only thing I'm holding onto now is the desperate hope that those alarms were caused by my friends and soon enough Nightmare will save me.

Suddenly an incredibly loud bang rang out, and both Chara and I jolted, whipping round to stare at the door, our eyes wide with fear.

Maybe X had came back. Maybe the guards had been sent to kill us. Maybe other asylumists have escaped and are trying to get in to kill us.

"CROSS?!"

Instantly my whole world froze and the breath was knocked from my non-existent lungs.

That voice...

"N-NIGHTMARE!!"

Another bang rang out and I watched as the door jolted, one side of it caving in slightly.

"J-JUST HOLD ON IN THERE!" He called, seeming to slam something into the door.

Suddenly the door burst open and a figure stumbled in, both of us instantly freezing as we locked eyes.

Nightmare...

I opened my arms, my whole body shaking. All I wanted was to be in his arms once again.

Nightmare ran forwards, falling to his knees before he hugged me to his chest tightly. He was also shaking, his hands gripping onto me tightly as they pulled me onto his lap.

As soon as I felt him do that I burst into tears, breaking down into a sobbing mess as I clung to him tightly, throwing my arms around the back of his neck to get closer.

"O-Oh god Cross..." He mumbled, burying his face into the crook of my neck as his hands clutched me tightly. It was almost as if he was checking I was actually real. "I-I'm so sorry..."

I shook my head, burying my face in his chest. "Y-You c-c-came for me..."

Nightmare looked at me, visibly crying. "O-Of course I did, silly." He gently wiped the tears streaming down my face away with his thumbs before peppering my face in kisses. "Why would I ever not come to you?"

I shook my head helplessly, pressing closer as I looked up at him, taking in all of his features as if it was the first time I've seen him. "I-I love y-you."

"I love you too, Crossy..." He muttered, stroking the top of my skull with a shaking hand. "Y-You're safe now..."

I leaned up, pulling him into a desperate kiss as he gripped onto me, immediately kissing back.

I could have stayed like that forever, safe in his arms while we shared a sweet kiss. But he pulled back, pressing our foreheads together.

"A-As much as I want to let this sink back in as easily as possible, we've got to go. X could g-get here any minute."

I stiffened at his name, whimpering softly. "C-Can you get all three o-of us out at once?"

"Three?" Nightmare looked up, only just seeming to process that Chara was slumped against the wall weakly, watching us silently. "H-How--"

"D-Don't ask..." I mumbled, gripping onto him weakly. "J-Just get us out of here...please..."

"I will..." He muttered, gently sliding one of his arms under my legs before he stood up, holding me bridal style to his chest. His grip on me was so gentle and wary, as if one wrong move would make me snap like glass.

I buried my face in his chest after seeing Nightmare curl a tentacle around Chara's wrist to help him to his feet. "I love you so much..." I mumbled, feeling kind of sleepy.

"I love you too, Crossy..." Nightmare whispered, kissing the top of my skull as he walked out of my specialist cell, ignoring the confused screams and yells that came from the other specialist asylumists.

"H-HEY! LET US OUT AS WELL!" They called, flinging themselves against the glass.

Nightmare ignored them, curling his free tentacles around my body protectively as we reached the stairs that lead back up to the main floor for the asylum.

I tried to keep my eyes open as Nightmare walked, but I could slowly feel my eyes shutting without me actually wanting to.

"Sleep Crossy..."

I yawned, shaking my head weakly. "I can't...I-I wanna stay awake f-for you..."

He laughed softly, kissing my cheek. "You don't need to stay awake for me... If you want me to feel reassured, go to sleep."

"A-Are you sure...?" I mumbled, already feeling my conscious start to slip.

"Yes...I'm sure."

"Alright then..." I whispered, sighing softly as I closed my eyes and my vision went black.

---Nightmare's POV----

I smiled weakly, looking down at Cross as he went limp in my arms, falling asleep.

His bones were cracked, his body was bruised, his eyes are empty, and his cheekbones were stained with tear marks, dark bags underlining his eyes.

He looked awful. But I'm just glad nothing worse was done to him.

I genuinely don't know what I'd do without him. Life wouldn't really have a point for me anymore. I know I'd still have the kids to think about... But in my perspective, a world without Cross isn't a world worth living in at all. I've grown far to dependent on him. Even with just these few days he's been gone, I've been craving the feeling of him snuggled up to me, kissing my cheek softly before we go to sleep, nuzzling his face into my chest. So to have him back in my arms like this is pure bliss.

I walked down the first corridor to the main level, gently tugging Chara along with me. I don't know how both of them are both alive like this at the moment, but I don't have time to figure out why. I'll just ask one of them later.

I went to walk around a corner in the hallway when I froze, pressing back against the wall as the all too familiar voice of X rang out, speaking to someone.

"The bloody octopus broke him out all by himself! He's psychotic! But he's done it! He's fucking taken my little experiments for himself!"

I hissed softly to myself, peeking around the corner again. X and two guards were stood right in front the exit, blocking it off as they scanned the corridors for us.

"Hey!"

I whipped around, freezing as I saw the same girl from earlier further down the corridor, crouched down in the shadows.

She waved slightly before pointing over at X and the guards.

I blinked, watching her before getting the message. I'll distract them.

She grinned, a pink blob floating by her hide as she stood up suddenly, sprinting into view of X and the guards.

"HEY!" They instantly noticed her, the two guards opening fire.

Whatever the hell that little pink blob thing is formed some sort of shield, deflecting the bullets as she ran forwards before forming some sort of sword, which she used to slice the guards down.

She went to attack X, but he had already disappeared, running like the coward he is.

I quickly stepped out, running with her through the exit and into the main grounds, keeping Cross close to my chest and Chara safely held onto with my tentacle.

The girl slashed a hole through the medieval gate exit, quickly jumping through with us quick behind.

"Hey, you!" I called, running along beside her. "I know we've met before, but remind me of your name!"

She grinned, giggling as she looked at me. "Just call me Betty!"
