-Chapter Start-

"StAY wItH YoU?" Error questioned in confusion.

After Error left the clearing with Ink, they went straight to the RUINS door. Error noticed Ink fidgeting on the way, but never questioned it. He was too busy trying to look at every detail around the path as they walked to really think about why Ink was acting weird.

Maybe he should have questioned Ink sooner? 'What do they mean 'Stay with him'?' Actually now that he was thinking about it, how was he going to leave this place? Did he even want to go back to the white? 'Haha, No. But I thought this was all there was after the white? Is there more?' If there was one thing this day taught Error, it is that there is always more then you see.

"Y-Yes, I would like for you to come with me." Ink gulped in worry. Error wasn't really reacting much, did that mean he would fight the decision. They were only looking out for his best interests! 'But then again,' Ink thought in heartbreak 'he may not understand what we are asking for.'

"What we mean is that we would like for you to live with Sans." Toriel started to explain after a moment of silence. "He will teach you about the world better then I could. He will protect you and make sure you have everything you need to know about how to live safely."

"Yes!" Ink instantly agreed with Toriel. "I will be like your teacher!" 'Teaching you about life, feeding you, protecting you, and making sure you are happy and safe!...That sounds more like a parent then a teacher now that I think about it...'

Error glanced at the door, then to Ink. "TeAChER?" Before Ink had time to answer, Error's eyes lit up in comprehension and started rattling off questions. "yOU wIlL tELl mE ABouT cOLoRS? i dON't hAve tO Go BAcK tO THe WhITE?" Error felt hope boom in his chest. No more white!

"Never!" Ink snarled. He had no idea what kind of AU Error came from, hell he didn't even know how Error came into existence! But Ink will not let Error go back i to that AU. 'Nothing but white.' Ink shivered, thinking about living in a world with no color. He would never wish that on anybody. That was why he started making AU's. Voids, blank canvas, that he painted over to give life. He even made his home in one. 'Is Error's AU just a blank canvas? Or is it something else?'

Ink took in a breath to calm down. There was no use in getting worked up now. He did not want to frighten Error. "You will not have to go back, you will stay with me in my home." Ink tried to smile at the darker one. "And of course I will tell about colors! I love all colors, and I promise you I can tell you a lot about all the colors in the world."

Error was sold.

'All the colors in the world~' Error internally gushed. This was a dream come true! "i WIll gO WItH yOU!" Error nearly started jumping in joy. 'No more white~'

Ink had st stifle a laugh and hide a delighted blush at how Error was jumping in place, his smile taking over his whole face. 'Just like a babybones!' It was too cute! "Then I will show you to your new home! But first," Ink gestured to the RUINS door. "why don't you tell the Voice goodbye and thank you?" When Ink saw Error's confusion he went on. "It is the polite and nice thing to do."

Error crocked his head as he came closer to the door. 'Why is it polite? What does that even mean? Does that even matter?' Then Error thought of the Voices. 'Were they polite? All I know is that I don't want to be like them, and they never told me 'Thank you'.'

"GoOdBYe, ThANK yOU." Error looked back at Ink as the Voice laughed behind the door, who was holding his face for some reason. Error tightened his hold on his hood in worry. Did he do it wrong? Will Ink change his mind about taking him if he got it wrong!? "D-dID i DO iT RiGhT?"

At Error's worried face, Ink was quick to wipe his face of any humor he had. He had just hid his face to cover up his smile, he was worried he would start cooing at the other for being so cute. "Yes! You did a wonderful job and I'm sure Tor-The Voice appreciates it!"

"Of course I did!" Toriel agreed with a delighted, happy laugh. This was the most happy she has been in years. "You are very welcome, and goodbye. I hope you are happy and safe in the years to come."

Error let go of his hood as they comforted him, his anxiety slowing down with his worry leaving. Error soon lost himself in his thoughts as Ink said his goodbyes to the Voice. 'I wonder what Inks home is like? Does it have a lot of colors?' Error frowned his brow as Fresh's colors came to mind. 'Why did he leave? Was he even there to begin with?! The Voices always said he was insane, whatever that meant.'

"Error?" Ink called out as he stepped a few feet away from the door after Toriel left.

"hUH?" Error snapped out of his thoughts and looked to Ink.

Ink gave a smile as he lifted his paintbrush, the bringing it down swiftly. Error's sockets widen in shock as a hole formed in the air with ink dripping from the side. 'It looks different from the one from before..' Error crept closer to peek in, Ink watching him like a hawk from the side. 'It feels warm.'

A warm breeze flew out from the portal. Error shivered at the different temperature. Ink smiled at him as he stepped through the portal. "Don't worry! My home is just through here, it won't hurt."

Error shifted as Ink disappeared, frightened the hole would go with him. When the hole stayed, Error slumped in relief. 'Ink was serious.' A part of Error didn't believe Ink when he told him everything. About what he would do for him. Because why would he do this for Error? The Voices were quick to point out all his flaws, he was just a glitch, an error that wasn't suppose to be alive. Error started walking to the hole as his doubts bubbled up and down. 'But Ink was telling the truth. Even if this turns out bad, it is worth it for now.'

Without a second thought Error jumped through the hole.

-With Fresh in HorrorTale-19-

"Whut the diddly wack am I doin' wrong!?" Fresh growled as anger and frustration consumed him.

He has tried everything! He possessed some Monsters, played some 'games', spread his virus, and funking heck, he even tried talking to some Monsters (Even if all they did was scream in terror, it counted as talking right?). So here he was standing in a new UnderFresh paradise and feeling no happiness, no soft warmth anywhere. All there was a burning that wouldn't leave him.

'A burning that I know all too well!' Fresh growled as he stomped to his temporary home in the new UnderFresh. It would take a few days at the least for the whole AU to fall into nothingness. Fresh ignored the lingering dust in the air as he fell into his thoughts.

"Whut did that brah, Error, say?" Fresh frowned as his shades changed from 'YO_LO' to a bunch of little question marks. "That I have totes find it?" Fresh rubbed his skull in thought, his frown getting deeper. "But I tried everything! This sicknasty business is gettin' me funking-" Fresh cut himself off as Error's answer repeated in his mind again as he finally got to what had been Horror!Sans home. It was now freshly colored, even if the dust lingered. "I have totes find it...That means it's something different? Nothing I've ever done?"

Fresh's mind went to when he met Error as he opened the cabins door. He slammed it shut with his foot as he walked in. Fresh flopped himself on the now brightly colored couch. Fresh moved his hand to touch his chest lightly. He had felt a soft warm feeling then, didn't he?

'Whut did I do that was different?' Fresh tried to think back. 'I stop to talk to the brah, I didn't make him scream, I let him live, and...' Error's glittering multicolored eyes looking up at him from under his big hood with a big delighted smile flashed in his mind suddenly. 'I made that look on his face!' Fresh gasped as a soft warm crept up his chest, his soul jumping. His shades changing to a bunch of explanation marks. "Was that the radical reason!?" Fresh shot up from the couch, almost falling off. "Or is it not?!"

Confusion warped around him as he clinched his head. Fresh had no idea what it was, only that it was something that he different that he did. He refused to think that it was all in his mind. Fresh had waited a long time for this, to feel that gentle warmth for once in his empty life. And he would not lose it, not when he was so close to getting it. But how can he be sure it was because of Error?

"I have totes see him again to be for sure..." Fresh narrowed his sockets in thought. His shades fading back into 'YO_LO' as he tried to think of a plan. "But the dawg is probably gone by now." Fresh is pretty sure that AU wasn't Error's. Error himself said he came from a 'White Room'. Fresh felt a stinging sensation as he thought of Ink creating Error to just leave him there, like a toy. 'And they called me a demon! Ink was the one who-'

"Ink!" Fresh gasped out in realization. Error was probably with Ink! He knew where Ink lived, but he just couldn't swagger in his crib. That was asking for a fight, something Fresh, for the first time, wasn't looking for. If Error wasn't there then he would look for the 'White Room'. But for now he would go with what he has. He just needed to get to Error without Ink there...But how?

A sinister smile started working up Fresh's face. "Haha, I just need a few AU's, a whole lot of dust, and of course a whole lot of screams!"

It seems he will be working over-time for a few days.

-With Error and Ink-

Green was the first thing Error saw. Error gasped as he tried to take everything in. Tall trees, fluffy things in the ground and above them, a whole lot of green under his feet, sounds he has never heard of swaying around him, and a colorful spotted building in front of them.

Ink grinned at Error, happy the other was enchanted with his home. Ink pointed around naming things as he walked to his cabin. Error watch in awe as Ink pointed to the fluffy things in the ground. "Those are flowers," Ink gestured below their feet. "This is grass," Ink pointed above them as he get to the door. "That is the sky, the white fluffy things are clouds, and this," Ink opened the door. "Is my home, our home I should say now."

Error hesitated for a brief moment before following Ink inside. Inside looked nice and open, it had a warm feeling Error realized. The White only had a cold feeling to it, colder then snow.

Ink sighed in relief as he watched Error scattered around to look at everything in the living room. Ink would show him the guest room later, for now he would let Error enjoy everything. Ink would only admit to himself he was flattered that Error was so entranced with everything Ink made. He had created everything in here after all, even the outside. In his mind he laughing called this little AU Inktale.

Ink smiled as he walked to his little kitchen. "Do you want something to eat or drink?" Ink had no idea when was the last time Error had eaten, but it was getting time for dinner.

Error paused in mid-poke at the strange words being thrown at him. He moved his gaze to Ink's back. "EAt? DRinK?"

Ink froze. "Yes...Food." 'He has to have eaten before...Right!?'

"WHat Is fOoD?" Error's face twisted in thought, trying to figure out what Ink was talking about.

'I take that as a no..' Ink started shaking in horror, tears starting to form. 'What kind of world did you live in? What has happened to you?!' Ink took a deep breath in to calm himself, thankful that Error couldn't see his face. 'No, maybe he just doesn't know the name for it! He has to have tasted something at the least right!?'

"Error? Have you ever tasted anything before?"

Error thought for a moment, then brightened when he found his answer. "jUSt a WhiLE aGo, i TAstED snOW toDaY, WhEN i FEll DOWn iN IT!" Error smiled smugly at knowing something as Ink seemed to be fighting off a soul failure. "iT wAS cOLd WhEN iT hIT ME iN tHE FAce...tHAT iS tAStinG sOmEthINg RiGHT? WhEn it tOUcHEs yOUr fACE?" The Voices mention something like that a long time ago...Or was it when something gets in your face?

"NO! OH CREATOR!"

~THUD!~

"INk?...iNK!?...ArE yOU AsLEEp?" ~Poke~ "...InK?" ~Poke-Poke~ "...WhAT aM i SUpoSSED tO dO NOw!?"

-End Chapter-

Confusion, misunderstandings, and shock is starting to kick off! I'm happy with how this came out. I hope everyone enjoys it too!

Now Ink mentioned Voids, but I like to think that is different then the Anti-Void. Personally I think the Anti-Void is more likely to mess you up then a normal Void. I also like to think you can create in a Void, like Ink does, but you can't do that in the Anti-Void. That is why it is called Anti-Void. This is just my opinion and is no way cannon, but I want to make the Anti-Void very different then a just a normal Void for this story. You will see why probably way farther on in the story.
