I havenât posted anything in a long time, Iâm sorry
So I did a drawing on my avatar in Sky: Children of the light (at least what it looked like a few days agođ )
Itâs a game that I discovered about a month ago. Itâs really great. Itâs soothing (except when youâre in the Golden Wasteland and in Eye of Eden)
It is a social game, where we incarnate a Child who must spread hope and send back the fallen stars in their constellations. Some places or quests can only be done with people (it can be with friends and strangers). If you like this kind of game, I want to adviseđ
So, hereâs the drawing (in the background, itâs the Sanctuary Islands)

Ăa fais longtemps que je n'ai rien poster, je m'en excuse
Donc, j'ai fait un dessin sur mon avatar dans Sky : Children of the light (du moins Ă quoi il ressemblait il y a quelques joursđ )
C'est un jeu qui j'ai dĂ©couvert il y a un mois environ. Il est vraiment super. C'est apaisant (Ă part quand on est dans le dĂ©sert d'Or et dans l'Ćil d'Ăden)
C'est un jeu social, oĂč nous incarnons un Enfant qui doit rĂ©pandre l'espoir et renvoyĂ©e les Ă©toiles tombĂ©es dans leur constellations. Certains endroit ou certains quĂȘtes ne peuvent ĂȘtre fais qu'avec des personnes (ça peut ĂȘtre avec amis et des inconnus). Si vous aimez ce genre de jeu, je veux le conseilleđ
Donc, voilĂ le dessin (dans le fond, c'est les Ăles du Sanctuaire)
Heyađ
Iâm doing this post for the December challence with Nightmare. Today itâs Bittersweet
I donât know if I should laugh or cry, I totally missed itđ

Heyađ
Je fais ce post pour le challenge de décembre avec Nightmare. Aujourd'hui c'est Doux-amer
Je sais pas si je dois rire ou pleurer, je l'ai totalement raterđ
This is the first time I've reblogged something (if it bothers you, let me know) (ăÂŽâïœ)
I really like the way you write, your descriptions, the way you just poke at our emotions to make us cry like them and the way you see the characters. I felt really bad for them, knowing that after seven years they hadn't managed to move on ă(ïżŁÏïżŁă)
Making a deal with Error is a good idea, but it can also be double-edged. He can keep his side of the bargain until Ink is a thing of the past, but after that? Would he attack Aim because he's an anomaly and because of his abilities? Will he get attached to the child in his own way? And will Nightmare even risk his nephew's life knowing what he means to him? And how will Dream and Killer react to Error's surprise visit ê°(@ïœêłÂŽ)ê±
I can't wait to find out what answers you have to offer (of course, if that's your aim) (=âÏâ=)â§
There is the English version at the beginning and the French version afterwards âąwâą
The Post Dark Cream Comic and Aim belongs to @zu-is-here (and it's also thanks to her that you can read this story XD)
The sound of a music box began to be heard in a distorted way, drowned out by the shores of the awakening. When the boy stretched, he tried to remember the melody. Where had he heard it? And who was that dark figure who had suddenly vanished into his dream?
He got out of bed, walking quietly towards the living room where Dream was, who had already started to prepare breakfast. Cross was still sleeping, taking advantage of this Saturday morning to sleep in.Â
The little one helped his father take the cups and the bowl he gave him, being too high for him, before putting them on the table. He sat quietly at the table, before starting to put milk in his bowl, while the positive one went to wake up his husband.Â
They both came back into the room, his father's eyes still clouded with sleep and calmly holding his soul mate, having still managed to trap him with his arms. Dream smiled, touched by this gesture he received from his husband every weekend.Â
He managed to free himself from his hold by sitting down quietly. Cross, before sitting down, kissed his son's forehead, wishing him good morning. They ate lunch in good spirits, as usual.
Then, as he did every weekend, the little skeleton got ready to see his uncle. He looked in the small library in the living room for his favourite book. It was the only one that had been made by hand and his father had already told him that his uncle had made it.Â
He loved its hardback cover covered with a layer of blue leather, where a huge apple tree was engraved. Some of the apples were completely engraved while others had only the outline defined. On the corners furthest apart, the leather was tinged with yellow at the top and purple at the bottom. Silver corners were attached to each edge of the book, representing a moon and a sun. He knew that the book was called The Power of Feeling, because his uncle told him every time, he read it.Â
He grabbed it, and then went into the kitchen, taking two small chocolate bars as usual. He checked that he hadn't forgotten anything before opening the door and greeting his parents. Cross said to him:Â
âYou be careful going in.â
âI promise, have a good day.â
They said the same before he closed the door. He went as usual to the playground, where he always waited for his uncle. He liked to have fun here, and sometimes Killer would come and play with him too, but he left quickly after Nightmare arrived.
He walked over to the swing before sitting down, putting the book on his lap. He began to swing quietly, being careful not to knock the book off by going too fast. He stopped abruptly when he heard an unfamiliar voice behind him asking if he was expecting his uncle.Â
He turned to answer him when he saw his face: a skeleton with pastel pupils and a paintbrush with an ink stain on his cheek. The skeleton his parents had always told him to watch out for. He remained silent, not knowing what to do.
â...You're very quiet. I thought you'd be more talkative than that. You must get that from Cross, he was never really talkative at first. But after we became friends, he was more so.â
âAre you a friend of Dad's?â
âYes, although I'm more Dream's friend. We've known each other for a long time, and we've had many adventures together. He even bailed me out a few times.â
âReally, it's so cool!â
âBut then your parents met, and I never really saw them again... But they never told you about it?â
In the face of Aim's silence, Ink added:
âThey never showed you where they declared their love? If you want, I can take you there. It's a place full of so many memories.â
âBut Uncle Mare-â
âNightmare already knows this place; he'll join us when he gets here and doesn't see us. Don't you trust your parents' friends?â
Deep inside, his instincts were screaming at him no, reminding him of their warning. But on the other hand, he knew his uncle and fathers and was a friend of theirs, so he could trust him...? And his uncle knew this place too.
He took the taller boy's hand before the latter combed the ground with his brush, then jumped into the puddle, dragging the child with him. They found themselves in a wooded area, the smell of pine trees could be felt. The snow covered them gently, giving the place a fresh feel.
Ink began to walk through the forest, followed by Aim who marvelled at the place. It reminded him of the woods where he and his parents used to go in the winter. They would have fun skating on the frozen lake that hid in his place, having a snowball fight where his papa would watch them, before starting to have fun with them after taking a snowball on his shoulder because of his dad, and they would end their day all at home over hot chocolate. Maybe he would see a place like that here, and he could go with his parents, that would be nice.Â
He was about to tell the other skeleton about it when this feeling, or rather lack of feeling, crept into his mind. It was strange, but usually he felt like he knew when someone was doing well or not, like a hunch. It had always been the case, yet when faced with this stranger he felt nothing, and unconsciously it twisted his stomach slightly, chilled his bones, without him really knowing why.Â
Inwardly he tried to find a reason for this exception, as the trees around them became less and less numerous. Buildings began to appear in the distance. Aim, seeing this, wondered who they would find. If this was where his parents had declared their love, then surely, he would meet friends of theirs.
The excitement of seeing more of his parents' friends was short-lived when he saw that the buildings were in ruins. Some had their facades ripped open, others had their roofs and probably their interiors collapsed. Others had only broken windows, and the only ones that had no apparent damage made the atmosphere strangely even heavier. A ghost town, that was the vision before their eyes.Â
Aim's bad feeling resurfaced, even more powerful than before. How could his parents have decided to declare themselves in a ruined place? What could have happened here? He pulled the book tighter to his chest, becoming slightly alarmed by the scene before them. He stammered:Â
âSir... Are you sure Uncle Mare will find us here? He was waiting for us in the playground, he might get worried if he doesn't find us, and it's not inhabited here at all, he might not find us.â
âDo you know who destroyed this place,â asked the protector, his back still turned to the boy.
â...No...â
âIt was your uncle with Killer, to try to show Cross that he could never be happy, and also because of his betrayal and escape.â
âYou're lying! Uncle Mare and Killer would never do that!â
âYou seem to like them, maybe that's a good thing... But know kid that I never lie.â
As he said his last sentence, he turned around completely, his pastel pupils and his slight smile had given way to a face devoid of all emotion. He crouched down facing the child, before declaring:Â
âWhat follows is simple: I ask for your help, you accept and after you have helped me, I will take you back to your parents, no one knows.â
âHelp with what?
âYou just have to use your power over me, you know the one that can change emotions.â
âDad and Papa said that's a power that can hurt people, and that you shouldn't use it.â
âAnd why not?â
âThey said that by using this power, people can get hurt because they wouldn't know if they really liked us. They said that it is more important that they like us for who we really are, than by lying to them and changing something so precious.â
Ink thought for a moment before saying:
âI won't mind you using your power on me, on the contrary. I have no soul; I can't feel emotions like others. But if you used it, I could be normal.â
âDon't you have a soul? But my power only works when people already have feelings.â
âHow can you be so sure when you haven't even tried,â he asked in a colder voice.
âMy power is used to change the emotions of others, to rewrite them. If they don't exist, I can't change them.â
âSo, you can't help me... I don't see why I should do what I told you then.â
The atmosphere was becoming frightening. Ink's voice and face was like that of a cruel psychopath in frightening nightmares, and the quiet of the place seemed to become oppressive. The boy took a step back, shaking more and more.
âYou're scaring me.â
âScared? I'm just asking you to help me. Your parents never taught you to be nice,â Ink said as he grabbed Aim's arm, dropping the book he was holding.
A Gaster Blaster appeared beside him before firing at the other skeleton. At the same time, the boy's soul turned blue, throwing him into his dad's arms. He boiled with rage and anguish, his eyes now only two blood-red pupils.
The latter was about to use his knife to teleport with his son when Ink created ink bones which he hurled at them. Cross smashed them with his weapon before setting Aim down beside the tree behind him. He would have preferred to get his son to safety before starting this fight, but Ink prevented him from actually doing so.
So, he turned his knife into two daggers and teleported behind the protector, trying to slice him by surprise. Ink dodged before hitting him with a brush, knocking him back a few feet.
Even though the monochrome had failed to hit him, he was slightly pleased that the fight was taking place away from where his child was. He sent bones at his opponent, who liquefied, before resurfacing next to him and trying to summon a Gaster Blaster. Cross gave him no time, sending his leg slamming into his stomach, smashing it against the tree behind him.
Ink coughed from the impact of the tree and also from the kick. Even though they were skeletons and didn't have stomachs or diaphragms, their magic reacted as if they did, and they really didn't appreciate that kind of blow. He lay down on the ground to dodge the Gaster Blaster shot that Cross had just fired, which destroyed and burned the plant and those behind it.
Then he grabbed his brush which he had dropped before creating a wall of ink to protect himself from a volley of bones. This separation disappeared after his opponent sliced it with his daggers, coming closer to him. To keep him away, he created several rows of bones before landing on a low tree branch near Cross.
Black tears began to fall from Cross's eyes, showing his growing negative feelings to the point of overflowing.Â
âI haven't seen your face like that for years,â Ink added. âThe last time was the day I paid you and Dream a little surprise visit. I didn't expect to see you with a baby, but what surprised me most that day was that your child had this power. Honestly, we could have a lot of fun, and thanks to him, I could have feelings like the others again. You can do that for your friend.â
âYou're not my friend, you're just a skeleton who has become obsessed with something he doesn't have and never will. Because of your madness, you put Aim in danger that day and you just did it again today.â
â... In danger... I didn't do anything wrong... I took him to a place that is important to you, I told him everything that happened here, and I kindly asked him to help me. There's nothing wrong with that. On reflection, maybe I should have been more radical... But I can always make it right.â
Three Gaster Blasters appeared in front of the boy, startling him and his father. Before the shots were fired, they heard the AU protector speak his words like a death sentence:
âIf Error can create new things when he is repulsed by it and our agreement still stood at that time, then I may as well do the same. I'll never be forgotten again, even if it means going from good guy to bad guy protector.â
âAIM!!!â
Cross was too far away from Aim to get there in time, so he made a giant wall of bones to protect him. He didn't have time to reassure himself that he was okay or even make another move, as Ink had already launched a bone attack. He had let his guard down, desperate to save his son, and before he could even protect himself, bones had embedded themselves in his torso, several touching his soul.
His purple blood began to stain his white top, and to run from the corners of his mouth, before falling to the ground. Two shrill cries rang out at that moment: Aim's, who had moved away from the half-destroyed wall to reassure his father, and Dream's. He was teleported to his son in spite of himself, thanks to his husband. The latter had arrived in his place after sensing his soul mate's overly negative feelings. But he had arrived too late to protect him from the treacherous attack that Ink had launched against him.
Dream held him in his arms on his knees, his eyes flooded with tears, trying to use his healing magic on him. But the wounds on his soul were too numerous for him to do so. Aim rushed towards them, seeing with horror the gaping holes in his father's torso, his breath choked and his soul cracking from the damage it had taken.Â
He searched his pockets, trying to find the chocolate bars he had taken a few hours earlier. He had taken two, but he was unable to find them. His hands were shaking, and his tears were appearing more and more, blurring his vision. He searched desperately before realising that they were not where he had put them.Â
He had probably dropped them without noticing, then he remembered the playground, that moment when they had jumped into the gate. Surely that was when he had lost them. After all, he had been careful not to drop and damage the book, but he hadn't checked for the chocolate bars.Â
âDad...â
Aim didn't know what to say or do. His father was starting to crumble, and he didn't know how to save him. To reassure him, Cross pulled him closer to him, before giving him a kiss on the forehead, as he used to doing.
Then he put his hand on his husband's cheek, trying to remove the tears that were running down with his thumb, even though new ones appeared right after. He tried with difficulty to take a steady breath before saying:Â
âI'm sorry, I let my guard down again. I couldn't protect you anymore... Don't cry... I've always preferred it when you smile... I wish I could keep seeing you smile and laugh...â
His husband tried to put on a smile, but it looked more like a forced grimace distorted by sadness. Cross stood up slightly before placing a final kiss on his soul mate's teeth.Â
âYou are my two rays of sunshine...â
He had spoken his words with the last of his strength, before disappearing entirely into a pile of dust. His son looked down at his remains, his tears growing more and more uncontrollable. His eyesight was blurred and he couldn't see what was around him, except for the dust as his tears fell.
Dream, on the other hand, stared into space before screaming at the assassin. His scream was filled with rage and hatred, changing to a promise of death as his voice became different, dark, corrupt.Â
Bones cracked as tentacles ripped through the back of his jumper, moving uncontrollably like snakes preparing to bite their prey. Black liquid began to cover him, devouring his blind eye again, making it disappear.
Before he left to take his revenge, he saw the look in his son's eyes that was mixed with sadness, fear and horror. He didn't know if it was due to his appearance, which he considered hideous, or because he was afraid of simply losing his papa, but that look made him even more angry at the painter. Because of him, he had lost his husband, but he had also had to traumatize his child with his appearance.Â
Nightmare and Killer arrived shortly afterwards, to see Dream in his corrupted form lashing out at Ink's inert and almost completely destroyed body, while Aim cried at a pile of dust. The two skeletons had quickly guessed who he belonged to by the scene before them.Â
The negative one moved towards his brother to stop him, but Killer stopped him by holding his arm, feeling only angst at the scene before them.
âI need you to take Aim and get out of here, while I calm Dream down,â he announced, pulling his arm free of the other skeleton's grip.Â
âNo, you'll get killed. I-â
âBecause you think you can do it? Take Aim and leave! That's an order,â he shouted.
The tearful man looked at him in despair, wanting to say something more. He knew that Nightmare was right and that he was just wasting time, but he couldn't help the fear that was eating away at his stomach. It was Cross who had managed to bring Dream to his senses, not Nightmare, so how could he be sure he would? He shook off his worries, confidently thinking that surely, he was the only one now who could do it. Then he walked over to the boy, before picking him up and teleporting into the boy's room.Â
The negative began to rush towards his brother, getting between him and Ink, dodging the tentacles that struck in the protector's direction. He caught him in his arms, trying to block his movements.Â
âCalm down, you can't kill him, he's immortal like us. Think of Aim and calm down!â
The attacks stopped, and his tentacles collapsed as if they were empty of energy. He dropped to his knees, his brother following his fall, still holding him in his arms. He turned his eyes and saw his husband's dust. If he had arrived earlier, he could have saved him, he would still be here. This sentence kept coming back in his mind, hammering him with blows, driving the nail of remorse even deeper.
Tears began to flow down his cheeks, creating ever larger wakes. He returned his brother's embrace, holding his coat as if it were the last thing, the last hope he could hold on to. His sobs were almost the only sound to be heard in this charred and destroyed world.
His soul froze, twisted, and felt as if it would crack and shatter at any moment. How he wished at that moment that it had. He would no longer feel that pain in his chest, that vice in his throat. He would like to join him, but he couldn't, and never would. It was one of the few privileges that was taken away from him.
The crackling of the flames was muted by the pain of the desperate cries that the positive was now throwing into the void, tearing at the same time at his brother's heart.
It was one of the few moments when the negative felt so helpless in the face of his younger brother's pain. What could he say, what could he do to heal his broken heart, except wait and show his presence and support through a simple hug. Only time would soften his grieving soul and they both knew it, but at the time it was hard to take.
All this pain and sorrow was preventing him from returning to his normal form. He didn't want to scare his son; he didn't want him to see him like that again. So, between his uncontrollable sobs, he stammered:
âI don't want to show myself to Aim like this.â
âTake your time,â his brother added in a calm voice.
Meanwhile, the boy was crying in Killer's arms, unable to get the image of his dad turning to dust out of his mind. It wasn't possible, his father had always been strong, he couldn't die like that. He would probably come back and say it was a joke, his papa would scold him for it, and to make up for it he would hug him, as always. As always, he would walk quietly out the door. He was coming back! He would come back... right?
He knew in his soul that reality was not what he wanted to see. He knew what fate had befallen his father, he had seen it with his own eyes, but he could not accept it. Or rather he didn't want to accept it.Â
âDad will come back, right? He's coming home,â the boy whined between sobs.
âIt'll be okay,â Killer reassured him.Â
It was the only sentence he repeated softly, as if he only knew that one, which was becoming more and more meaningless with its relentless repetition. He rubbed his back to soothe him. He kept a mask of calm to reassure the little one and not to show his feelings, even if his molten heart gave him away.
Aim slowly calmed down. He wished so much that time would wind up like a simple stopped music box. It was then that he asked Killer if he could rest, to wake up from this cruel bad dream, which the taller man accepted. Before going to sleep, he left his room, followed by Killer who did not understand why he was leaving.
The little skeleton walked through the house towards his parents' room. He entered the room and saw that it was in the same state as it was in the beginning, tidy, the bed still made in the same way, the wardrobe still closed, the sunlight partly filtered by the curtains almost entirely open.Â
It was like an unchanged vestige of time, a vestige that reminded him of that happy time he spent with his parents. He kept hoping that it was a nightmare, so that he could wake up and hug his fathers again.
He walked over to Cross's bedside table, picking up the slightly cracked heart-shaped locket that lay on it. He had seen it once and simply asked what it was. He remembered the image as he opened it and turned a small mechanism inside, making the soft sound of a music box playing Always with me.
He remembered the wistful look on his father's face, before he calmly told him that this jewel was very important to him, and that he would rather leave it safe than risk it being damaged even more than it was by wearing it. He remembered that his father had not said who the people drawn with him were, nor the meaning of the word written above it, and he had preferred not to ask him.
He hadn't touched it again, not wanting to risk breaking something precious to one of his parents. But now he just wanted to have it so he wouldn't feel like he was breaking himself like a fragile object. Or maybe he just wanted something that belonged to him so that he would feel like it was still near him.Â
He took it in his hand, tangling the golden chain between his knuckles. Killer said nothing, understanding that the smaller boy was trying to hold on to something that would remind him of Cross. Nevertheless, when the boy returned to his room, he said softly:Â
âKiddo, if you need me, I'll be right here in the living room. Dream and Nightmare should be back soon, I'll wait for them.â
âWill you stay with me? I'd like one more hug.â
The teary-eyed man agreed, sitting down on the bed with his back against the wall before taking him in his arms. Aim, for his part, had abandoned his Rubik's Cube, which he used whenever he felt bad. Instead, he opened the locket and activated the mechanism, which instantly pierced the silence with the soft crystalline notes of the lullaby.Â
He stayed there, listening quietly, thinking of nothing but the hope of waking up from this nightmare. He closed his eyes, letting himself be carried away by the sound of the lullaby and the sleep. A tear rolled down his cheek, before falling onto the taller man's shirt as the last note of the song was heard, leaving them to be engulfed again by the morbid silence.
It was also at this point that Killer silently broke down, shattering the mask that had been forged on his face earlier, unable to hold back his tears and grief at the death of his friend.Â
Le son d'une boĂźte Ă musique commença Ă se faire entendre de maniĂšre distordu, noyĂ© par les rives du rĂ©veil. Lorsque le petit sâĂ©tira, il essaya de se souvenir de cette mĂ©lodie. OĂč l'avait-il bien entendu ? Et qui Ă©tait cette silhouette sombre qui s'Ă©tait soudainement Ă©vaporĂ© dans son rĂȘve ?
Il sortit de son lit, se dirigeant tranquillement vers le salon oĂč se trouvĂ© Dream, qui avais dĂ©jĂ commencĂ© Ă prĂ©parer le petit-dĂ©jeuner. Cross quant Ă lui, dormait toujours, profitant de ce samedi matin pour faire la grasse matinĂ©e.
Le petit aida son papa prenant les tasses puis le bol quâil lui donnait, Ă©tant trop haut pour lui, avant de les poser sur la table. Il sâassit tranquillement Ă table, avant de commencer Ă verser du lait dans son bol, pendant que le positif allait rĂ©veiller son mari.
Ils revinrent tout deux dans la piĂšce, son pĂšre ayant les yeux encore embrumĂ©s de sommeil et tenant calmement son Ăąme-sĆur, ayant encore rĂ©ussi Ă lâemprisonner avec ses bras. Dream sourit, attendri par ce geste quâil recevait de son mari chaque week-end.
Il rĂ©ussit Ă se libĂ©rer de son emprise en sâasseyant tranquillement. Cross, avant de sâassoir Ă son tour, fis un bisou sur le front de son fils, lui souhaitant bonjour. Ils dĂ©jeunĂšrent dans la bonne humeur, comme d'habitude.
Puis comme chaque week-end, le petit squelette se prĂ©para pour voir son oncle. Il chercha dans la petite bibliothĂšque du salon son livre prĂ©fĂ©rĂ©. CâĂ©tait le seul qui avais Ă©tĂ© fait Ă la main et son papa lui avait dĂ©jĂ avouer que câĂ©tait son oncle qui lâavait fabriquĂ©.
Il aimait Ă©normĂ©ment sa couverture cartonnĂ©e recouverte dâune couche de cuir bleutĂ©e, oĂč un immense pommier y Ă©tait gravĂ©. Ses pommes Ă©taient pour certaines entiĂšrement gravĂ©e tandis que dâautre nâavais que le contour dĂ©fini. Sur les coins les plus Ă©loignĂ©s lâun de lâautre, le cuir se teintait de jaune en haut et de violet en bas. Des coins en argent Ă©tait accrocher sur chaque bord du livre et reprĂ©sentait une lune et un soleil. Il savait que ce livre sâappelait La force des sentiments, grĂące Ă son oncle qui lui disais Ă chaque fois quâil le lisait.
Il lâattrapa, et se dirigea ensuite dans la cuisine, prenant deux petites barres chocolatĂ©es comme Ă son habitude. Il vĂ©rifia quâil nâoubliait rien avant dâouvrir la porte en saluant ses parents. Cross lui dit :
âTu fais attention en y allant.
âPromis, bonne journĂ©e.
Ils lui rĂ©pondirent la mĂȘme chose avant quâil ne ferme la porte. Il partit comme Ă son habitude vers lâaire de jeu, oĂč il attendait toujours son oncle. Il aimait beaucoup sâamuser ici, et parfois, Killer venait aussi jouer avec lui, mais il partait rapidement aprĂšs que Nightmare soit arrivĂ©.
Il sâapprocha de la balançoire avant de sâassoir, posant le livre sur ses genoux. Il commença Ă se balancer tranquillement, faisant attention Ă ne pas faire tomber le livre en allant trop vite. Il sâarrĂȘta brusquement lorsquâil entendit une voix inconnue derriĂšre lui demandant sâil attendait son oncle.
Il se retourna pour lui rĂ©pondre lorsquâil vit son visage : un squelette aux pupilles pastel accompagnĂ© dâun pinceau et ayant une tache dâencre sur la joue. Le squelette dont ses parents lui ont toujours dit de se mĂ©fier. Il resta muet, ne sachant pas trop quoi faire.
ââŠTu es bien silencieux. Je pensais que tu serais plus bavard que ça. Tu dois sĂ»rement tenir ça de Cross, il n'a jamais Ă©tĂ© vraiment bavard au dĂ©but. Mais aprĂšs quâon soit devenu ami il lâĂ©tait plus.
âVous ĂȘtes un ami de Dad ?
âOui, mĂȘme si je suis plus lâami de Dream. On se connait depuis longtemps, et on a vĂ©cu beaucoup dâaventures ensemble. Il mâa mĂȘme dĂ©jĂ tirĂ© dâaffaire plusieurs fois.
âVraiment, câest trop cool !
âMais aprĂšs tes parents se sont rencontrĂ©, et je ne les ai plus vraiment revus... Mais ils ne tâen ont jamais parlĂ© ?
Devant le silence de Aim, Ink ajouta :
âIls ne tâont jamais montrĂ© oĂč se sont dĂ©clarĂ© leur amour ? Si tu veux, je peux tây amener. Câest un endroit chargĂ© de tellement de souvenirs.
âMais Oncle Mare-
âNightmare connais dĂ©jĂ cet endroit, il nous rejoindra quand il arrivera et quâil ne nous verra pas ici. Tu ne fais pas confiance aux amis de tes parents ?
Au plus profond de lui, son instinct lui criait non, lui rappelant leur mise en garde. Mais dâun autre cotĂ© il connaissait son oncle et ses pĂšres et Ă©tait un ami dâeux, alors il pouvait lui faire confiance... ? Et son oncle connaissait aussi ce lieu.
Il prit la main du plus grand avant que ce dernier peigne le sol avec son pinceau, sautant ensuite dans cette flaque en entrainant lâenfant avec lui. Ils se retrouvĂšrent dans un lieu boisĂ©, lâodeur des pins se faisait ressentir. La neige les recouvrĂ©s doucement, rendant une sensation de frai Ă ce lieu.
Ink commença Ă marcher dans la forĂȘt, suivit de Aim qui sâĂ©merveillĂ© devant les lieux. Ăa lui faisait penser au bois ou ses parents et lui avaient lâhabitude dâaller lâhiver. Ils sâamusaient Ă patiner sur le lac gelĂ© qui se dissimuler dans ses lieux, Ă faire une bataille de boules de neiges oĂč son papa les regarder, avant de commencer Ă sâamuser avec eux aprĂšs avoir pris une boule de neige sur lâĂ©paule Ă cause de son pĂšre, et ils finissaient leur journĂ©e chez eux tous autour dâun chocolat chaud. Peut-ĂȘtre quâil verrait un lieu comme ça ici, et quâil pourrait y aller avec ses parents, ce serait bien.
Il allait en parler Ă lâautre squelette quand cette sensation, ou plutĂŽt cette absence de sensation sâimmisça dans son esprit. CâĂ©tait Ă©trange, mais dâhabitude il avait lâimpression de savoir quand quelquâun allait bien ou mal, un peu comme une intuition. Ăa avait toujours Ă©tĂ© le cas, pourtant face Ă cet Ă©tranger il ne ressentait rien, et inconsciemment ça lui tordait lĂ©gĂšrement lâestomac, lui glaçait les os, sans quâil ne sache vraiment pourquoi.
Il essaya de trouver intĂ©rieurement une raison Ă cette exception, lorsque les arbres autour dâeux devenait de moins en moins nombreux. Des bĂątiments commençaient Ă apparaĂźtre au loin. Aim en voyant ça, se demanda qui ils allaient trouver. Si câĂ©tait ici que ses parents avaient dĂ©clarĂ© leur amour, alors il rencontrera sĂ»rement des amis Ă eux.
Cette excitation de voir dâautres amis de ses parents fut de courte durĂ©e, lorsque quâil vit que les bĂątiments Ă©taient en ruines. Certains avait leurs façades dâĂ©ventrĂ©, dâautre le toit et surement lâintĂ©rieur dâeffondrer. Dâautres encore nâavait que les fenĂȘtres de brisĂ©s, et les seules qui nâavait aucun dĂ©gĂąt apparent rendais bizarrement lâambiance encore plus pesante. Une ville fantĂŽme, voilĂ la vision qui Ă©tait devant leur yeux.
Le mauvais pressentiment de Aim refit surface, encore plus puissant quâavant. Comment ses parents auraient pu dĂ©cider de se dĂ©clarer dans un endroit en ruines ? Qu'avait-il bien pus se passer ici ? Il resserra le livre sur son torse, devenant lĂ©gĂšrement inquiet par les lieux devant eux. Il bredouilla :
âMonsieur... Vous ĂȘtes sĂ»r quâOncle Mare va nous trouver ici ? Il nous attendait dans lâair de jeu, il risque de sâinquiĂ©tait sâil ne nous trouve pas, et ça nâest pas du tout habitĂ© ici, il risque de ne pas nous trouvĂ©.
âSais-tu qui a dĂ©truit ce lieu, demanda le protecteur toujours le dos tournĂ© vers le petit.
ââŠNonâŠ
âC'est ton oncle avec Killer, pour essayer de montrer Ă Cross quâil ne pourrait jamais ĂȘtre heureux, et aussi Ă cause de sa trahison et de sa fuite.
âVous mentez ! Oncle Mare et Killer ne feraient jamais ça !
âTu sembles les aimĂ©, c'est peut-ĂȘtre une bonne chose⊠Mais sache petit que je ne mens jamais.
En prononçant sa derniĂšre phrase, il se retourna entiĂšrement, ses pupilles pastel et son lĂ©ger sourire de façade avaient laisser place Ă un visage vide de toutes Ă©motions. Il sâaccroupi face Ă lâenfant, avant de dĂ©clarer :
âCe qui va suivre est simple : Je te demande de l'aide, tu acceptes et aprĂšs que tu m'es aidĂ©, je te ramĂšne Ă tes parents ni vu, ni connu.
âDe l'aide pour quoi ?
âTu as juste Ă utiliser ton pouvoir sur moi, tu sais celui qui peut modifier les Ă©motions.
âPapa et Dad ont dit que c'est un pouvoir qui peut blesser les gens, et qu'il fallait surtout pas lâutiliser.
âEt pourquoi donc ?
âIls ont dit quâen utilisant ce pouvoir, les personnes peuvent se sentir blesser parce quâils ne pourraient pas savoir sâils nous apprĂ©cient vraiment. Ils ont dit qu'il faut plutĂŽt qu'ils nous aiment pour ce qu'on est vraiment, quâen leur mentant et en leur changeant quelques chose d'aussi prĂ©cieux.
Ink réfléchis quelques instants avant de dire :
âJe ne prendrai pas mal que tu utilises ton pouvoir sur moi, au contraire. Je n'ai pas dâĂąme, je ne peux pas ressentir des Ă©motions comme les autres. Mais si tu lâutilisais, je pourrais ĂȘtre normal.
âVous n'avez pas dâĂąme ? Mais mon pouvoir ne fonctionne que lorsque des personnes ont dĂ©jĂ des sentiments.
âComment tu peux en ĂȘtre si sĂ»r alors que tu n'as mĂȘme pas essayĂ©, demanda-t-il d'une voix plus froide.
âMon pouvoir sert Ă modifier les Ă©motions des autres, Ă les réécrire. Sâils n'existent pas, je ne peux pas les changer.
âAlors, tu ne peux pas mâaider... Je ne vois pas pourquoi je ferais ce que je t'ai dit alors.
L'ambiance devenait angoissante. La voix et le visage de Ink était semblable à celle d'un cruel psychopathe dans des cauchemars effrayants, et le calme des lieux semblait devenir oppressant. Le petit recula d'un pas, tremblant de plus en plus.
âVous me faites peur.
âPeur ? Je te demande juste de m'aider. Tes parents ne tâont jamais appris Ă ĂȘtre gentil, dĂ©clara Ink en attrapant le bras de Aim, faisant tomber le livre qu'il tenait.
Un Gaster Blaster apparu Ă cĂŽtĂ© de ce dernier avant de tirer sur l'autre squelette. Au mĂȘme moment, lâĂąme du petit vira au bleu, le projetant dans les bras de son pĂšre. Celui-ci bouillonnait de rage et d'angoisse, ses yeux nâĂ©tant plus que deux pupilles rouge sang.
Ce dernier allait utiliser son couteau pour se tĂ©lĂ©porter avec son fils lorsque Ink crĂ©a des os dâencre quâil projeta sur eux. Cross les brisa avec son arme avant de poser Aim Ă cĂŽtĂ© de lâarbre derriĂšre lui. Il aurait prĂ©fĂ©rĂ© mettre son fils Ă lâabri avant dâentamer ce combat, mais Ink lâempĂȘcher de vĂ©ritablement le faire.
Alors il transforma son couteau en deux dagues et se téléporta derriÚre le protecteur, essayant de le trancher par surprise. Ink esquiva avant de lui asséner un coup de pinceau, le faisant reculer de quelques mÚtres.
MĂȘme si le monochrome nâavais pas rĂ©ussi Ă le toucher, il Ă©tait lĂ©gĂšrement satisfait que le combat se dĂ©roulais loin de lĂ oĂč Ă©tait son enfant. Il envoya des os sur son adversaire, qui se liquĂ©fia, avant de resurgir Ă cĂŽtĂ© de lui et dâessayer dâinvoquer un Gaster Blaster. Cross ne lui laissa pas le temps, envoyant sa jambe frapper son ventre, le fracassant contre lâarbre derriĂšre lui.
Ink toussa dĂ» au choc contre lâarbre mais aussi dĂ» au coup de pied. MĂȘme si câĂ©tait des squelettes et quâils nâavaient pas dâestomac ni de diaphragmes, leur magie rĂ©agissait comme sâils en avais, et elles nâapprĂ©ciĂ© vraiment pas ce genre de coup. Il se coucha au sol pour esquiver le tir de Gaster Blaster que venait de tirer Cross, qui dĂ©truisit et brĂ»la le vĂ©gĂ©tal et ceux qui se trouver derriĂšre.
Puis il attrapa son pinceau quâil avait fait tomber avant de crĂ©er un mur dâencre pour se protĂ©ger dâune salve dâos. Cette sĂ©paration disparue aprĂšs que son adversaire la trancha avec ses dagues, se rapprochant de lui. Pour lâĂ©loigner de lui, il crĂ©a plusieurs rangĂ©s dâos avant de se poser sur une branche basse dâun arbre, proche de Cross.
Des larmes noires commençaient à couler des yeux de ce dernier, montrant ses sentiments négatifs de plus en plus important, au point de déborder.
âĂa fais des annĂ©es que je nâavais pas vu ton visage comme ça, ajouta Ink. La derniĂšre fois, ça a Ă©tĂ© le jour oĂč je vous ai rendus une petite visite surprise Ă toi et Dream. Je ne mâattendais pas Ă vous voir avec un bĂ©bĂ©, mais ce qui mâa le plus surpris ce jour-lĂ , ça a Ă©tĂ© que ton enfant est ce pouvoir. Franchement, on pourrait bien sâamuser, et grĂące Ă lui, je pourrais de nouveau ressentir des sentiments comme les autres. Tu peux bien faire ça pour ton ami.
âTu nâes pas mon ami, tu es juste un squelette qui est devenu obsĂ©dĂ© par une chose quâil nâa pas et nâaura jamais. Ă cause de ta folie, tu as mis ce jour-lĂ Aim en danger et tu viens encore de le faire aujourdâhui.
â⊠En danger... Je nâai pourtant rien fait de mal... Je lâai amenĂ© dans un lieu important pour vous, je lui ai dit tous ce qui câĂ©tait passĂ© ici, et je lui ai gentiment demander de mâaider. Il nây a rien de mal. En y rĂ©flĂ©chissant, peut-ĂȘtre que jâaurai dĂ» ĂȘtre plus radical... Mais je peux toujours rectifier le coup.
Trois Gaster Blasters apparurent devant le petit, le surprenant ainsi que son pÚre. Avant que les coups soient tirés, ils entendirent le protecteur des AU prononcé ses mots comme une sentence de mort :
âSi Error peut crĂ©er de nouvelles choses alors quâil est rĂ©pugnĂ© par ça et que notre accord tenait toujours Ă ce moment-lĂ , alors je peux tout aussi bien faire pareil. Je ne serais plus jamais oubliĂ©, mĂȘme si ça signifie passer du gentil au mĂ©chant protecteur.
âAIM !!!
Cross Ă©tait trop loin de Aim pour arriver Ă temps, alors il fit un gigantesque mur dâos pour le protĂ©ger. Il nâeut pas le temps de se rassurer quâil aller bien ou mĂȘme de faire un autre mouvement, que Ink avait dĂ©jĂ lancĂ© une attaque dâos. Il avait baissĂ© sa garde voulant Ă tout prix sauver son fils, et avant mĂȘme quâil puisse se protĂ©ger, des os sâĂ©taient plantĂ© dans son torse, plusieurs touchant son Ăąme.
Son sang violet commença Ă teintait son haut blanc, et Ă couler des commissures de sa bouche, avant de tomber au sol. Deux cris stridents retentir Ă ce moment-lĂ : celui de Aim qui sâĂ©tait dĂ©calĂ© du mur Ă moitiĂ© dĂ©truit pour rassurer son pĂšre, et Dream. Il fut tĂ©lĂ©portĂ© vers son fils malgrĂ© lui, grĂące Ă son mari. Ce dernier Ă©tait arrivĂ© dans ses lieux aprĂšs avoir sentis les sentiments trop nĂ©gatifs de son Ăąme-sĆur. Mais il Ă©tait arrivĂ© trop tard pour le protĂ©ger de lâattaque traĂźtre que lui avais lancĂ© Ink.
Dream le tenait dans les bras Ă genoux, ses yeux inondĂ©s de larmes, essayant dâutiliser sa magie de soins sur lui. Mais les blessures sur son Ăąme Ă©taient trop importantes pour quâil y arrive. Aim se prĂ©cipita vers eux, voyant avec horreur les trous bĂ©ants qui parsemĂ©s le torse de son pĂšre, son souffle hachĂ© et son Ăąme qui craqueler Ă cause des dĂ©gĂąts trop importante quâelle sâĂ©tait prise.
Il chercha dans ses poches, essayant de retrouver les barres chocolatĂ©es qu'il avait pris quelques heures plus tĂŽt. Il en avait pris deux, mais il Ă©tait incapable de les retrouver. Ses mains tremblaient, et ses larmes apparaissaient de plus en plus, brouillant sa vision. Il chercha dĂ©sespĂ©rĂ©ment avant de rĂ©aliser quâelles nâĂ©taient pas lĂ oĂč il les avait mises.
Il les avait sĂ»rement fais tomber sans sâen apercevoir, puis il se rappela de lâaire de jeu, ce moment oĂč ils avaient sautĂ© dans le portail. CâĂ©tait sĂ»rement Ă ce moment-lĂ quâil les avait perdus. AprĂšs tout, il avait fait attention Ă ne pas faire tomber et abimĂ© le livre, mais il nâavait pas vĂ©rifiĂ© pour les barres chocolatĂ©es.
âDad...
Aim ne savait pas quoi dire ou quoi faire. Son pĂšre commençait Ă partir en poussiĂšre, et il ne savait pas comment le sauver. Pour le rassurer, ce dernier le rapprocha de lui, avant de lui faire un bisou sur le front comme il avait lâhabitude de le faire.
Puis il posa sa main sur la joue de son mari, essayant dâenlever les larmes qui coulaient avec son pouce, mĂȘme si de nouvelles apparaissait juste aprĂšs. Il tentait difficilement de prendre une respiration rĂ©guliĂšre avant de lui dire :
âJe suis dĂ©solĂ©, jâai encore baissĂ© ma garde. Je ne pourrais plus vous protĂ©ger... Ne pleurez pas... Jâai toujours prĂ©fĂ©rĂ© quand vous souriez... Jâaimerais tellement pouvoir continuer de vous voir sourire et rire...
Son mari essaya dâafficher un sourire, mais ce dernier ressemblait plus Ă une grimace forcĂ©e et dĂ©formĂ© par la tristesse. Cross se releva lĂ©gĂšrement avant de dĂ©poser un dernier baisĂ© sur les dents de son Ăąme-sĆur.
âVous ĂȘtes mes deux rayons de soleil...
Il avait prononcĂ© ses mots avec les derniĂšres forces quâil lui restĂ©, avant de disparaĂźtre entiĂšrement dans un amas de poussiĂšres. Son fils regarda ses restes, ses larmes devenaient de plus en plus incontrĂŽlables. Sa vue se troublait et il ne voyait pas ce qui lâentourer, Ă part les poussiĂšres lorsque ses larmes tombaient.
Dream quant Ă lui regarder dans le vague avant de hurler en regardant lâassassin. Son cri Ă©tait rempli de rage et de haine, se modifiant en une promesse de mort en mĂȘme temps que sa voix devenait diffĂ©rente, sombre, corrompu.
Des craquements dâos se firent entendre lorsque des tentacules dĂ©chirĂšrent le dos de son pull, bougeant de maniĂšre incontrĂŽlable, comme des serpents se prĂ©parant Ă mordre leur proie. Du liquide noir commença Ă le recouvrir, dĂ©vorant Ă nouveau son Ćil aveugle, le faisant disparaitre.
Avant quâil ne parte pour assouvir sa vengeance, il croisa le regard de son fils qui Ă©tait mĂ©langer de tristesse, de peur et dâhorreur. Il ne savait pas si câĂ©tait dĂ» Ă son apparence quâil jugeait hideuse, ou parce quâil avait peur de tout simplement perdre son papa, mais ce regard lâĂ©nerva encore plus contre le peintre. Ă cause de lui, il avait perdu son mari, mais il avait aussi dĂ» traumatiser son enfant par son aspect.
Nightmare et Killer arrivĂšrent peu de temps aprĂšs, pour voir Dream dans sa forme corrompu sâacharnĂ© sur le corps inerte et presque entiĂšrement dĂ©truit de Ink, tandis quâAim pleurĂ© devant un tas de poussiĂšre. Les deux squelettes avaient rapidement devinĂ© Ă qui il appartenait vu la scĂšne qui sâoffraient Ă leurs yeux.
Le nĂ©gatif se dirigea vers son frĂšre pour lâarrĂȘter, mais Killer l'en empĂȘcha en lui tenant le bras, ressentant que de lâangoisse face Ă la scĂšne qui se dĂ©roulait devant eux.
âIl faut que tu prennes Aim et tu partes dâici, pendant que je calme Dream, annonça-il en dĂ©gageant son bras de lâemprise de lâautre squelette.
âNon, tu risques de te faire tuer. Je-
âParce que tu penses que tu peux le faire ? Prends Aim et pars ! Câest un ordre, hurla-t-il.
Le larmoyant le regarda dĂ©sespĂ©rer, voulant rajouter quelque chose. Il savait que Nightmare avait raison et qu'il perdait juste du temps, mais il ne pouvait sâempĂȘcher dâavoir une peur qui lui dĂ©vorer le ventre. CâĂ©tait Cross qui avait rĂ©ussi Ă ramener Dream Ă la raison, pas Nightmare, alors comment ĂȘtre sĂ»r quâil y arrivera ? Il se dĂ©barrassa de ses inquiĂ©tudes, en pensant avec confiance que câĂ©tait sĂ»rement le seul maintenant Ă pouvoir le faire. Il se dirigea ensuite vers le petit, avant de le prendre dans les bras, puis se tĂ©lĂ©porta dans la chambre de ce dernier.
Le nĂ©gatif commença Ă se prĂ©cipiter vers son frĂšre, se mettant entre lui et Ink, esquivant les tentacules qui frapper dans la direction du protecteur. Il lâattrapa dans les bras, essayant de le bloquer dans ses mouvements.
âCalme-toi, tu ne peux pas le tuer, il est immortel comme nous. Pense Ă Aim et calme-toi !
Les attaques sâarrĂȘtĂšrent, et ses tentacules sâaffaissĂšrent comme sâils devenaient vide dâĂ©nergie. Il se laissa tomber sur ses genoux, son frĂšre suivit sa chute, le tenant toujours dans ses bras. Il tourna les yeux et vit les poussiĂšres de son mari. Sâil Ă©tait arrivĂ© plus tĂŽt, il aurait pu le sauver, il serait encore lĂ . Cette phrase revenait en boucle dans son esprit, le martelant de coup, enfonçant le clou des remords encore plus profondĂ©ment.
Des larmes commencĂšrent Ă couler le long de ses joues, crĂ©ant des sillages de plus en plus imposants. Il rendit lâĂ©treinte Ă son frĂšre, tenant son manteau comme s'il Ă©tait la derniĂšre chose, le dernier espoir sur lequel il pouvait se raccrocher. Ses sanglots Ă©tait presque le seul bruit qui se faisait entendre dans ce monde calcinĂ© et dĂ©truit.
Son Ăąme se glaçais, se tordais, lui donnais lâimpression quâelle allait se fissurer et se briser Ă tout moment. Comme il aurait aimĂ© Ă cet instant que ce soit le cas. Il ne ressentirait plus cette douleur dans sa poitrine, cet Ă©tau dans sa gorge. Il aimerait le rejoindre, mais il ne pouvait pas, et ne pourrais jamais le faire. CâĂ©tait un des rares privilĂšges qui lui Ă©tait ĂŽtĂ©.
Le crĂ©pitement des flammes se faisait discret face Ă la douleur des cris dĂ©sespĂ©rĂ© que lancer maintenant le positif dans le vide, dĂ©chirant au mĂȘme instant le cĆur de son frĂšre.
Ce fut lâun des rares instants oĂč le nĂ©gatif se sentait aussi impuissant face Ă la douleur de son cadet. Que pouvait-il bien dire, que pouvait-il bien faire pour soigner son cĆur brisĂ©, Ă part attendre en montrant sa prĂ©sence et son soutien Ă travers un simple cĂąlin. Seul le temps adoucirait son Ăąme en peine et ils le savaient tous deux, mais sur le moment câĂ©tait dur Ă encaisser.
Toutes cette peine et cette douleur lâempĂȘchais de retrouver sa forme normale. Il ne voulait pas effrayer son fils, il ne voulait pas quâil le voit comme ça de nouveau. Alors, entre ses sanglots incontrĂŽlables, il bredouilla :
âJe ne veux pas me montrer Ă Aim comme ça.
âPrends tous ton temps, ajouta son frĂšre dâune voix calme.
Pendant ce temps, le petit pleurait dans les bras de Killer, nâarrivant pas Ă enlever de son esprit lâimage de son pĂšre qui se transformait en poussiĂšre. Ce nâĂ©tait pas possible, son pĂšre avait toujours Ă©tĂ© fort, il ne pouvait pas mourir comme ça. Il allait surement revenir en disant que câĂ©tait une blague, son papa allait le gronder pour ça, et pour se faire pardonner, il lui ferait un cĂąlin, comme toujours. Comme toujours, il allait passer le bas de la porte tranquillement. Il allait revenir ! Il allait revenir... non... ?
Il savait au fond de son Ăąme que la rĂ©alitĂ© nâĂ©tait pas ce quâil voulait voir. Il savait quel destin avait eu son pĂšre, il lâavait vu de ses propres yeux, mais il ne pouvait pas lâaccepter. Ou plutĂŽt il ne voulait pas lâaccepter.
âDad va revenir, pas vrai ? Il va revenir Ă la maison, pleurnicha le petit entre deux sanglots.
âĂa va aller, le rassura Killer.
C'Ă©tait la seule phrase quâil rĂ©pĂ©tait doucement, comme sâil ne connaissait que celle-lĂ , qui se vidait de plus en plus de sens Ă force dâĂȘtre inlassablement rĂ©pĂ©tĂ©e. Il lui frotta le dos pour lâapaiser. Il garda un masque fais de calme pour rassurer le plus petit et ne pas montrer ses sentiments, mĂȘme si son Ăąme en cĆur fondu le trahissait.
Aim se calma lentement. Il aurait tellement voulu que le temps se remonte comme une simple boite Ă musique arrĂȘtĂ©. Câest Ă ce moment-lĂ quâil demanda Ă Killer s'il pouvait se reposer, pour se rĂ©veiller de ce cruel mauvais rĂȘve, ce que le plus grand accepta. Avant de dormir, il partit de sa chambre, suivit de Killer qui ne comprenait pas pourquoi il partait.
Le petit squelette traversa la maison se dirigeant vers la chambre de ses parents. Il y rentra voyant la piĂšce dans le mĂȘme Ă©tat quâelle Ă©tait de base, rangĂ©e, le lit fait toujours de la mĂȘme maniĂšre, lâarmoire toujours fermĂ©e, les rayons du soleil qui Ă©tait en parti tamisĂ© par les rideaux presque entiĂšrement ouvert.
Elle Ă©tait comme un vestige inchangĂ© du temps, un vestige qui lui rappelait ce temps heureux quâil passait avec ses parents. Il espĂ©rait continuellement que ce soit un cauchemar, pour quâil puisse se rĂ©veillait et serrait Ă nouveau ses pĂšres dans ses bras.
Il se rapprocha de la table de chevet de Cross, prenant le mĂ©daillon en forme de cĆur lĂ©gĂšrement fĂȘlĂ© qui Ă©tait posĂ© dessus. Il lâavait vu un jour et avais simplement demandĂ© ce que câĂ©tait. Il se souvenais de lâimage quand il lâavait ouvert et actionnĂ© un petit mĂ©canisme Ă lâintĂ©rieur, faisant retentir le son doux dâune boite Ă musique jouant Always with me.
Il se souvenais du regard mĂ©lancolique de son pĂšre, avant quâil lui dise calmement que ce bijou Ă©tait trĂšs important pour lui, et quâil prĂ©fĂ©rait le laisser en sĂ©curitĂ©, que de risquer quâil soit encore plus abimĂ© quâil ne lâĂ©tait en le portant. Il se souvenais que son pĂšre nâavait pas dit qui Ă©tĂ© ses personnes dessinĂ©es avec lui, ni la signification du mot inscrit juste au-dessus, et il avait prĂ©fĂ©rĂ© ne pas le lui demander.
Il ne lâavait plus touchĂ©, ne voulant pas risquer de briser quelque chose de prĂ©cieux aux yeux de lâun de ses parents. Mais maintenant, il voulait juste lâavoir pour ne pas avoir lâimpression de se briser lui-mĂȘme comme un objet fragile. Ou peut-ĂȘtre quâil dĂ©sirĂ© simplement un objet qui lui appartenait pour avoir lâimpression quâil Ă©tait toujours prĂšs de lui.
Il le prit dans la main, emmĂȘlant la chaine dorĂ©e entre ses phalanges. Killer ne dis rien, comprenant que le plus petit essayer de se raccrocher Ă quelque chose qui lui rappeler la prĂ©sence de Cross. NĂ©anmoins, lorsque le petit retourna dans sa chambre, il lui dit doucement :
âGamin, si tu as besoin je serais lĂ dans le salon. Dream et Nightmare ne devrait pas tarder Ă rentrer, je vais les attendre.
âEst-ce que tu veux bien rester avec moi ? Jâaimerais bien encore avoir un cĂąlin.
Le larmoyant accepta, sâassit sur le lit, le dos appuyĂ© contre le mur avant de le prendre dans les bras. Aim, quant Ă lui, avait dĂ©laisser son Rubikâs Cube quâil utilisait pourtant Ă chaque fois quâil se sentait mal. Au lieu de ça, il ouvrit le mĂ©daillon et activa le mĂ©canisme, qui perça instantanĂ©ment le silence avec les douces notes cristallines de la berceuse.
Il resta ainsi, lâĂ©coutant calmement, ne pensant Ă rien dâautre quâĂ lâespoir de se rĂ©veiller de ce cauchemar. Il ferma les yeux, se laissant emporter par le son de la berceuse et le sommeil. Une larme roula sur sa joue, avant de tomber sur le T-shirt du plus grand au mĂȘme instant que la derniĂšre note de la chanson se fit entendre, les laissant se faire engloutir de nouveau par le silence morbide.
Ce fus Ă©galement Ă ce moment que Killer craqua silencieusement, brisant le masque qui sâĂ©tait forgĂ© sur le visage un peu plus tĂŽt, nâarrivant plus Ă retenir ses larmes et sa peine face Ă la mort de son ami.
