Chapter seven:

Suddenly something grabs "Black" by one of his wrists of his hands that went up during flying.

"Black" hesitantly cracks an eye open and realizes that they are dangling in midair. He blinks both eyes open in surprise at this only to look up. He finds just what or well who has saved him from the fall that could have killed him.

Slim is holding onto his wrist almost falling off over the edge while Chara is holding onto Slims other arm.

Chara is struggling though she is trying her best to keep them from falling.

"Why?" "Black" questions letting it slip out from the shock. "I'm not your brother. Why would you save me? I made no promise to ever give him back."

"You're not my brother." Slim confirms almost nodding. "But I do know one thing. You are in my brothers body. I'm not sure how I'll get you out at this moment... But I will fond a way. Because damn it no matter what he does I still care for him. I'll support him every step of the way and do what I need to for him. Even if it's helping him through having to kill someone or multiple people."

"Black" blinks never having expected such a reaction.

"Guys!" Chara calls out as she is about to fall.

"We'll continue this in a minute." Slim tells "Black" then all three of them start falling towards the ground.

Chara had not been able to hold on any longer as she fell.

Slim closes his eyes and wraps all three of them in his magic slowing their descent. He gets them to land safely on the ground below before opening his eyes. He lets the magic fade when he opens his eyes as everyone is safe. He no longer needs to concentrate on doing that anymore.

"Black" is regarding the two of them with thoughtfulness while Chara thanks Slim.

Slim turns to look to "Black" and he moves closer to him.

"Black" looks right into his eyes.

Slim stops a little in front of him. He has to look down because the other is sitting. "I won't ever quit on my brother. No matter what plagues his mind. Especially when he needs me the most." He crouches on the ground on one knee to be more on the same level as the other.

"Black" Lets his eyes follow Slims movement to lower himself.

"I will make sure you two separate. But I won't be doing what he did. I won't let him go through what you are doing to me."

"Don't you mean what he's doing to you?" "Black" questions almost as if trying to gain an upper hand in all of this.

"It started because of you. He only became this way when you came around." Slim tells "Black". "He would have never done this if it wasn't for you. So I don't blame him at all. But remember that even if he lied and hid things I know my brother very well. I can tell enough about him, more than any other monster, to get what I need to know. You have no idea how much trust he puts into me. Hiding away from the rest of the world. I also trust him. I trust him with my life. I will do things he asks me to do because I trust him so much." He then pauses and reaches a hand out towards "Black". "So lets end things here and now. Peacefully. Or we can do it the hard way. Leave my brother alone and free. Then you can find a different use for your abilities. Who knows what they could be used for." He informs the other. "Plus I'm sure that you have had your own dreams of what you want to actually do."

"Black" gives Slim an almost thoughtful look as their eyes meet. "No. This is all I've known. All I am supposed to do. All I want to do. Take control of others and use them for evil purposes. It's what I'm supposed to do."

"But there are other ways to use your gift." Slim leans closer to "Black" who slightly leans back at first. "And if you don't accept that then I can't really help you." He manages to clank his teeth gently against "Black"s head in a kiss.

"Black"s eyes snap open with a gasp. He shivers feeling something strong tugging at his soul. "Wha... What is this!? What is this feeling!?" He gasps then attempts to scramble back but doesn't get very far. His body tenses up and something inside caging his true soul seems to break. His breath slightly catches in his throat for a moment. His eyes fading to his normal colour as if something has swiped the other colour away.

A dark mist comes out of him like some kind of shadow being is possibly thrown out.

Blacks clothes return to normal, as the black mist seems to dissolve the new clothes as it went past. He is left panting for a moment before catching his breath.

Nightmare appears in the original form and screeches at Slim. "What have you done!?"

"M'lord!" Slim happily picks Black up holding him close. His mouth turned upwards in a grin.

Black swears that if Slim had a tail it'd be wagging. "Thank you. If you ever need help or comfort I'm here for you. No matter what happened." His words are soft as he brings his arms around his brother. He buries his face into his chest letting Slim hold him.

"I'm sorry." Black apologizes just as softly. "And Pappy? Thank you for helping me."

"Of course." Slim responds nuzzling the side of Black's head. "I'll always be ready to help you in any way that is needed."

"You will pay! You'll all pay!" Nightmare snarls in rage. "Just you wait and see! I'll make sure you will pay!"

Slim doesn't even pay Nightmare any mind not really even hearing it.

Nightmare dashes away as quickly as it can go. It is soon gone having moved very quickly to escape before anyone could think of a way to stop it. It is muttering to itself in anger about how it will make sure that it will have its revenge one day. It just needs to figure out how in the world it will be able to accomplish its goal in getting revenge. It wants its revenge to be truly hurtful to Black and possibly even Slim. It just needs to get away to attempt in starting up a plan.

Slim picks Black up letting him shift to make it look like he is just demanding a ride. "Lets go home shall we M'lord?" He questions, figuring that Black will probably make sure that there is warning posters about Nightmare everywhere later, and gets a nod of confirmation. He takes the lead and offers a free hand to Chara.

Chara holds Temmie in one arm and takes Slims offered hand in the other hand.

Together they all went home to relax and get some rest.

The end.
