Chapter eleven: An overdue question
Reaper's POV:
We all sat around the meeting table. Well everyone but me. I stood in the corner where I couldn't harm anyone. Whenever I touch someone, they dust. I looked out at the crowd as they are freaking out over Error, Dream, and Blue. Mostly Error. I closed my eyes and let my thoughts roam.
'What do we know about Error? Yes we know he destroys but why? Reaper what are you doing, you hate him! He kills monsters, making you job harder! ...But if you were forced then couldn't Error be forced aswell? You overheard Tori saying that there are four balances... so could Error be apart of one?'
I stopped my thoughts when Fell shouted.
"I say we try to attack Error again!" He yelled above the others. I moved forward, gaining everyone's attention
"Shouldn't we ask Error why he destroys first? For all, we know he could be forced like I am." I reasoned.
"...How about this? We half-heartily attack him again, and let him escape. We then-" Ink ranted on about the plan. Let's just say we all agreed.
~A day later~
We all were in the middle of a fight with Error, again. Strangely though, he didn't dust anyone. I mean we did use just originals this time but still... Anyways he beat us again. I glanced over to Ink to see him nod. I turned back to Error, who was about to make a portal and leave.
"Why do you destroy Error?! You said I should know but what should I know!?" I called out, faking anger. He froze, then slowly walked to me.
"You want to know why I destroy? Now?" He asked, deathly calm. Heh.
I nod my head. He stood in front of me, leaned down, and forced me to look him in the eye sockets. Wait... he's touching me... And he touched me before... He's not dust... I can touch him...
"You want to know? Then answer me this, Yin to the Life and Death balance. Do you really think I would trust you all with not attacking my family?" He chuckled.
I stared into his eye sockets. He... He is barely wanting to live... I saw this as I take suicider's lives... He's suicidal... Only one thing is making him keep on living. He stood up and turned to a portal.
"You all want to know why I destroy? Heh. Then I need reassurance that those I care for won't be harmed. That's the 'Dark' sanses and the Chara equals." He said loudly as he faced the portal.
"How could so many judges be so blind." He muttered as he left. I was in shock, placing my hand on my chin where he touched me. Wait... has he not given a vague answer when just Ink and I were there before?
