Chapter Two
Nightmare's POV:
Making sure my mask and hoodie were on, I entered Haven and was pleasantly greeted with the main marketplace.
The main marketplace was where necessities were sold, such as food, toiletries, and clothes. And unlike on the Surface, it was surprisingly affordable, even for the poor.
As I walked through the crowds of families, I heard the call of a familiar voice.
"HEY, NIGHTIE!" My friend, Intrusion, yelled.
With a sigh, I started to walk towards him.
He was 5"6 and tan, wearing a grey T-Shirt that had 'Fuck Off' spelled over a hand giving the whole world the finger, paired with a black jacket and jeans, as well as a black strip of fabric over his eyes. His brown hair with a streak of white, skin, and mustache that he purposely grew out to look like a villain from silent movies) making him look older than he really was.
"How many times have I had to tell you to not call me that?" I asked him, tiredly, "It's Nightmare."
He grinned not-so-apologetically, "Ah, well, you know I'm not good at math, Nightie!"
"But it's not-" I cut myself off, knowing he wouldn't care, and sighed. "Let's just get back to base."
"Of course, Nightie!" He said, "Let's-a go!"
I sighed once again and started the long walk to "home" I suppose.

As soon we opened the steel door, a voice yelled from the kitchen, "Virgil, Remus- is that you guys?"
I recognized it to be my friend Deceit, but in private, we call him Janus. But, you might be wondering who Virgil and Remus are. Well, if you couldn't tell- that's us. My name is Virgil Storm, and Intrusion's real name is Remus Regalías.
"Yupsie doodle!" Remus replied as I placed the bag by the door ad took my mask off.
"Oh- good!" Janus called, "I'm making spaghetti for dinner!"
"Yes-" I said, pumping my arm, soon realizing my mistake, "OW- FUCK."
"Virgil- are you okay?!" Janus said running into the living room where Remus and I were standing.
Janus was 6"0 and wore a yellow dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a black vest and pants, and the black hat he never took off. He had brown hair, his pale face was contorted with worry, and most surprisingly the entire left side of his body was covered in third-degree burn scars.
He ran up to me, full mother-hen mode, and noticed my arm. "Virgil," he said, deadly calm. That's when I knew I was in trouble. "What. Happened."
My eyes widened in fear and looked at Remus for help, but all he did was take off his mask, to reveal dark brown eyes, cross his arms, and give me an amused smirk.
"IwenttogogetthepackageandtheWolvesfoundmeandtheystartedchasingmewithgunsandoneoftgemshotmeand-" I rambled until I was interrupted by Janus.
"Virge- I can't understand you. You gotta speak clearer than that." He said
"Well.. I went to go get the 'package' like you you told me to, and the Wolves found me. They were chasing me and shooting at me, and one of them managed to get me...Eventually, I lost them and made it into Haven.." I whispered, hoping he wouldn't yell at me.
"It's okay, Virge. You weren't caught, and you brought the package" he spoke softly, nodding at the duffel bag by the door, "Now let's go get you fixed up."
