Chapter Text
(Y/N) sighed as she looked out of the window. She had been so lonely for so many years after her dear… husband had killed and left her to die. She had spent so much time alone but now….
(Y/N) let a small smile grace her lips.
Now she wasn’t alone anymore. She had her lovely friends with her.
”hey spooks, where do i put these?” the ghost heard behind her and turned to see Axe standing behind her, holding fake cobwebs on his hands, careful not to tangle them between his fingers.
”How about that corner there?” (Y/N) said and pointed to an empty corner in the ballroom. Axe blinked and then grinned, his usual creepy smile but to the ghost, it wasn’t scary. It was endearing if she was quite honest. Axe started walking away and (Y/N) smiled softly. Yes, she wasn’t alone anymore. She had her dearest friends with her. Her dear Axe, pleasant Sweets, gentle Phantom, silly Dust, Stoic Cross, sweet Xhara and even her wonderful Nightmare! Epic had decided to leave the Estate a while ago, stating he still needed to search something. While (Y/N) was sad to see him go, she couldn’t exactly keep him… Or could she? After all, he had said that he’d return on All Hallows Eve which was today. Epic had sent her a message stating he would be there in the evening. How wonderful!
’Truly’ (Y/N) thought and smiled as she looked out from the window, the autumn painting the trees pretty red, orange and brown.
’I am very blessed’. With that, the ghost of Blumwell Estate turned smiling and started helping with the preparations.
Dust was looking at the many different decorations that the skeletons had bought from the not-so-cheap Halloween stores. Sure it was fun to shop and see (Y/N)’s excited expressions as they showed her different types of decorations that people used nowadays. Though they did ban her from buying any skeletons.
”why would you buy fakes skeletons when you have us?” Dust had said and (Y/N) only laughed in response as she looked at the skeletons on display.
”Well, I guess that is true my dear” she had said and Sweets and Phantom quickly steered her away from the display, blushing lightly.
My dear… (Y/N) had called them that a lot. It seemed to roll off from her tongue very well. A cute and endearing nickname from a fancy lady. It was nothing else, just a nickname… But then why did Dust feel his SOUL sing deep inside of him, why did he feel like he was going to burst?
No, wait, he knew the reason.
Love.
Lot Level Of ViolencE.
But actual, true love.
It was strange; he, a monster who killed all of his friends including his brother, feeling love. It was messed up. But then again, he was in love with a ghost lady who was brutally murdered and thirsted revenge and vengeance. Vengeance to her husband who oh so horribly killed her.
Oh, how Dust would love to have a talk with the man, smell and see his blood dripping from his wounds as he begged for forgiveness.
”BROTHER...” Dust looked at Phantom who had appeared next to him, holding some fake body parts. It was laughable how stupid they looked.
”sup bro?” he asked, looking at the surprisingly realistic-looking knife.
”YOU’RE THINKING… ABOUT… HIM AGAIN….” Phantom said and the skeleton chuckled.
”of course i’m thinking him paps. after all, he did kill m- our soulmate” Dust said as he threw the fake knife somewhere. He didn’t know what he was supposed to do with the decoration so Dust just flung them all over the place. Sweets on the other hand paused. A SOULmate? Their SOULmate? While he had suspected that (Y/N) was indeed their soulmate, he wasn’t 100 percent sure about it. However… He could feel it too. The soft tug, almost like a whisper or a fleeting touch in his dead SOUL. It was barely there but when you notice it, you couldn’t ignore it.
”BROTHER… ARE YOU SURE… ABOUT THAT…?” Sweets asked and Dust paused before grinning.
”yup. Pretty sure she’s our soulmate” he said and Phantom looked out of the window.
”SHOULD WE… TELL HER THAT…?” The ghost skeleton asked and Dust pondered it for a few seconds. He didn’t know. On the other hand (Y/N) deserved to know this, deserved to know that she wasn’t alone anymore and they would always be with her. But on the other hand, Dust didn’t know how she would react. After all, the supposed love of her life killed her so violently. Would she be scared? Would she be happy?
”… I’ll talk about it with the others after this mess has been cleaned up” Dust finally said as he quickly started looking through the piles of decorations with Phantom helping him on the way.
Killer was looking at the yard, grinning. Halloween. The scariest time of the year. Killer had experienced the holiday a couple of times in the past. It was the time he had almost forgotten; the time before he had joined forces with Chara, before the multiple timelines where he had slaughtered all the monsters Underground.
But now… Now he was free and ready to see what the evening had in store.
Apparently, there were sometimes balls held in the Estate but those had started to become less and less frequent since it was rather boring to celebrate the holiday with the people you have known for years.
But now it seemed that the Estate was full of light. The yard itself was like something out of a Tim Burton’s movie with lit up jack o’ lanterns strewn all across the grass and spider webs in the trees. It was cold and slightly damp, perfect for some spooks. He could already imagine how haunted the place would be with all the ghosts strolling through the gardens. He was pretty sure (Y/N) would look absolutely deadly in the moonlight, wearing her white dress.
It was odd… He had started to actually feel something after for so long. Before the whole machine fucking up, Killer had gotten used to the feeling of apathetic (because of the constant genocide) and murderous (because of Chara and their influence). But now. He had started to feel like his ’old’ self.
And he might have started to know why that was.
”oi, killer” Killer turned to see Dust and Phantom walking towards him. Dust was absolutely covered in ash (well, it looked like ash) and cobwebs while Phantom was seemingly facepalming. He lazily waved and turned to look at them, his black eye sockets focusing on them. Phantom would sometimes flicker in an out of existence but Killer knew he was there.
”sup guys?” Killer asked and Dust grinned.
”the sky” he answered and Killer chuckled dryly as Phantom groaned.
”WHY DO YOU ALWAYS… HAVE TO MAKE SUCH… HORRIBLE JOKES?” he asked, knowing he wouldn’t get a good answer.
”what can i say, i enjoy spooktacular puns,” Killer said with a big grin, his SOUL flaring up.
”yeah bro, they are rather terrific” Dust added, shrugging his shoulders, making the ash fall and get attached to the webs while Phantom just groaned and asked why he even bothered.
”so what’ cha doing here?” Killer asked and Dust grinned.
”what, can’t a skeleton take a stroll through the garden?” he asked and Killer made an ’eye-rolling’ motion. He knew Dust was up to something but decided to play along anyway.
”oh? just a stroll huh?” the tar eyed skeleton said and walked next to him.
”yup, it looks pretty spooky if ya ask me” the ash-covered skeleton before chuckling and then turning serious.
”say, killer… have you felt… different lately?” Dust asked and Killer looked at his doppelgänger.
”why ya ask?” he asked and Phantom came a little closer, turning fully visible.
”WE… WANTED TO KNOW… IF YOU HAVE THE FEELING… THAT…” Phantom spoke, his voice fading in and out as he started glowing light orange. Dust sighed and looked at Killer straight into the eye sockets-
”(y/n) is your soulmate?” Killer froze, his grin becoming forced. Yes, he had had that feeling. About the ghost being his SOULmate.
”...what about it?” he asked and surprisingly Dust just gripped his shoulder.
”cut the crap, we know you feel it too,” he said and Killer froze. They too… Felt it?
Killer felt like cursing. While it was wonderful, no, ecstatic that he found his SOULmate, that also meant that his alternate selves also found their SOULmate in (Y/N). Which meant she wasn’t his alone.
But…
Thinking of (Y/N) and how happy she was around with all of them, the black-eyed skeleton couldn’t be mad at her. The others, maybe a little.
”...so what are we gonna do?” Killer asked and Phantom sighed, relieved that there wasn’t a big fight happening.
”WE’RE GOING… TO TALK TO… OTHERS….” he said and Killer nodded, walking inside with the two other skeletons.
Lady and Lord Avington were cowering in the corner of their ghost realm. How?! They were supposed to be in control of the space?! How could this be-
An unusually cruel smile was present as the oldest ghosts of the Estate were looking at them with horrified looks on their faces.
”I told you that you that there would be consequences if you tried anything,” they said with a cruel smirk as they gracefully grouched down, tilting their head.
”I really liked and admired you, I truly did. But...” the figure said, looking away before grinning and getting up.
”You are in my way” the figure started walking away as the couple started gasping for air, suddenly being able to feel like they were suffocating. Slowly, they started disappearing, piece by piece ripped apart. The figure grinned as she watched this happen.
Finally, they were out of their life. The figure turned and walked out of the room, composing themselves. This was only the beginning.
Axe was staring at the various treats and food on the long table in the dining room. He was already salivating from the various scents that were present in the room, ready to eat everything within his sight. There were all kinds of different pies, snacks, self-made candy… It was like a dream come true! Axe snatched a couple of candied apples from the table. Just a taste…
”BROTHER, YOU BETTER NOT THINK OF EATING THOSE-” Axe froze, the apple inches away from his mouth. He slowly turned around and saw Sweets there, glaring at him. He was already in his Halloween outfit; a classical vampire. He had found the outfit from the attic and (Y/N) had permitted him to take them.
”After all, who on Earth would wear them?”
Axe kept his eye light on his brother and gulped down the apples, completely whole. Sweets just groaned and facepalmed.
”BROTHER SERIOUSLY? YOU COULDN’T EVEN WAIT FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE GORGING YOURSELF TO THE TABLE?” he said and Axe just shrugged and sat down to the nearest chair that was covered in spiderwebs. He snatched another candy and unwrapped it. God the candies were delicious… Of course they were, they were made with love by the ghost lady!
Axe grinned; (Y/N)… (Y/N), (Y/N), (Y/N)… Such a pretty name for a wonderful woman. He was truly happy about meeting her. Ever since he had met her in that tea party, he had known. She was his soulmate! How it was even possible, he didn’t know. But he wouldn’t question it either. He wouldn’t do that.
As a Sans, Axe was still paranoid of RESET happening at any moment. Especially after meeting his soulmate, he had gotten even more paranoid; this universe’s brat could RESET at any time! And what would happen to them then?
Would they wake up in the Underground, starving and only memory of the (blonde brunette, etc.)’s smile?
Or would they be trapped in the cabin again?
Of course, it wouldn’t be much of a problem since they could just go back to the Estate but… Would the ghost lady still remember them? Or would she had lost her memories of the past timeline?
”Brother...”
Axe snapped out of his thoughts as a skeletal hand came to grip his own. Axe hadn’t noticed but his hand had gone to his skull, gripping the hole’s edge. He had been gripping it so tightly, dust particles were slowly floating down to his hoodie. Axe loosened his grip and Sweets slowly removed the hand from his skull.
”Brother… Is Everything Alright?” the taller skeleton asked and Axe flexed his hand before putting it on the table.
” i... don’t know bro,” Axe said and Sweets looked at him with concern.
”ever since we came here i’ve felt… alive. like almost all the puzzle pieces have come together” he said and Sweets nodded. Axe’s hand left the table and gripped his hoodie, right where his SOUL resided.
”you’ve felt it too, right?” Axe asked and Sweets stayed quiet, looking at the table.
”Yes, I Have. She’s Our Soulmate, Isn’t She?” he stated and Axe nodded.
”What About The Others? If They Are Us, Then They Also Should Know She Is The One” Sweets continued and his brother nodded once again.
”We should talk to the others about this,” the taller skeleton said and Axe nodded, although hesitantly. He knew he didn’t like to share but with all of them living in the Estate, it would be hard to keep (Y/N) to themselves. Axe could share (Y/N) with his brother, after all, she was their SOULmate. But with others… It would be hard but for the Lady’s sake, he would try.
”What are you doing?!” Lady Katharine asked as she slammed against the wall. If she wasn’t dead already, Katharine was sure she would have broken her back. Still, the impact hurt a lot. She could hear the other ladies let out a scream as she slid down to the ground, her lilac dress pooling around her.
”You are insane!” Lady Charlotte yelled. The figure just smiled, tilting their head to the side.
”Why? Why are you doing this?” Lady Marianne asked, sobbing uncontrollably. She didn’t understand, why? Why after all these years this had to happen? On All Hallows Eve of all the days? Was this the work of the Devil?! Why did such a nice-
Marianne gasped before screaming. Her stomach, it hurts! It hurts so much! She could hear faintly screams echoing in the empty room. Her ears started ringing as the pain intensified. It hurts! It hur… st…
With those final thoughts, the ghost disappeared.
”God you guys have always been so annoying,” the figure said before turning to see a maid behind them.
”Ah, could you please clean up Lily? We don’t want our guests to see this… mess”. Lily bowed and nodded, smiling pleasantly.
”Of course my lady,” she said and the figure smiled.
Cross stared at Xhara and paused. He… hadn’t expected this.
”what are you doing?” he asked and Xhara laughed, twirling around.
He was back to his adult form, still wearing his armor. God, he had almost forgotten the feeling of being tall again!
”how? how are you-?” Cross asked as he stepped forward
’I don’t know but I’m not complaining’ Xhara said as he walked over to a mirror and looked at himself, smiling. He had almost forgotten what he looked like. It had been so long…
”ok, whatever. We still need to finish” Cross said, looking around. The ballroom was still a mess with different decorations strewn about. The two were tasked to decorate the ballroom and Cross has been trying. The keyword ’trying’. Xhara had been messing around with different decorations and in the end, had wrapped Cross with fake webs and they started fighting. Then something happened. There was a And now, there were decorations everywhere and time was getting short.
’Yeah yeah. So what next?’ Xhara asked, turning away and starting to throw the decorations around. It was a good thing to be a ghost, it meant he could float stuff to the high ceiling. It took some effort and hard concentration but the two were eventually successful in decorating the ballroom. Xhara sighed as he stretched.
’Man, that was a workout, don’cha think Cross?’ he said as the skeleton sighed and looked at their handiwork; the chandeliers were covered in spiderwebs with small plastic spiders in them. Though Cross was certain he saw a couple of real ones skittering on the webs. There were a couple of dozen tables set on the end of the ballroom, near where the door to the winter garden was. They were covered in black silk clothes and already some servants were setting up the tables with the finest silverware and plates.
’heh, just a normal day in the estate i guess’ Cross thought and smirked before Xhara’s arm gently slapped the back of his skull.
’Oi, did you even hear what I said Cross?’ Xhara asked and Cross sighed.
”nope”. Xhara facepalmed and groaned. God, Cross could be annoying sometimes. A typical Sans…
’I said that this was a workout’ the ghost said and Cross rolled his eye lights.
”yeah, it was,” he said and Xhara looked around.
’I wonder where (Y/N) is. She promised to come and see what kind of decoration we had planned’ Xhara said and then smirked.
’You know, now that I’m back to normal, I can ask her to dance with me. Maybe even more’ he said and Cross quickly turned around and glared at the ghost.
”i doubt that the lady would do anything else with you. she thinks you as a child and will probably dance with you out of pity” monochrome skeleton said and Xhara raised his arms in surrounder.
’Oh c’mon Cross, I was just teasing. Besides...’ he said and smirked.
’I know how you feel about her’. Cross paused and looked at Xhara who sighed and crossed his arms.
’Oh my Stars, Cross can you be even more oblivious? We share a SOUL! Do you really think I wouldn’t feel it?’ Xhara said and Cross tilted his head slightly.
”feel what?”
Xhara groaned and facepalmed.
’God, you are stupid sometimes. She’s your SOULmate you dibshit!’ Xhara shouted and Cross’s eye lights went out. His… SOULmate? He had a SOULmate. Someone is a perfect match for him… He had honestly thought that his mate had been in his own Universe and destroyed with it. But here she was, right under his nose.
’Cross, you okay? I know this is very surprising. Though if you wouldn’t be so daft, you would have noticed a long time ago’ Xhara said and Cross snapped out of it.
”you sure she’s my soulmate?” he asked and Xhara nodded.
’Yup, pretty sure’ he said and Cross started walked out of the ballroom.
’Hey where are you going?!’ Xhara shouted.
”to meet up with others,” Cross said loudly back before turning around the corner with Xhara running behind.
Nightmare walked down the dark hallways. The atmosphere had been unusual the whole day and Nightmare wasn’t sure what to make of it. It had been… colder. Emptier. And he hadn’t seen any of the ghosts walking around. Not even (Y/N).
Nightmare paused; where even was she? Usually, the lady was around them but now she couldn’t be seen.
He sighed as he continued walking along.
”...op...”
What was that? There was a wave of anguish and Nightmare immediately teleported near the negative emotions. Only… He didn’t find anyone expects one of (Y/N)’s maids/friends near. They stared at each other for a moment before the woman curtseyed.
”Oh hello, King Nightmare. May I help you?” the woman said. What was her name again? Chamile? Charmia? Charlotte? Yeah, Charlotte. The skeleton nodded and looked around.
”...was someone here just a couple minutes ago?” he asked and Charlotte raised her brow before shaking her head.
”No sir, only I was here,” she said and tilted her head.
”Was there something you needed?” Charlotte asked and Nightmare shook his head before pausing.
”actually do you know where (Y/N) is?” he asked and Charlotte straightened her back.
”Lady (Y/N) is getting ready for the party and wishes that no one will disturb her. You shall see her at 9 o’clock in the evening” she said with a serious look and Nightmare looked at her.
”really?” The ghost maid nodded and looked at him straight into the eye.
”Yes, Lady (Y/N) was very specific with this” Charlotte said and Nightmare hummed.
”Is there anything else you needed my lord?” she asked and Nightmare shook his head.
”nah, i’ll be going now,” he said and the ghost nodded and continued cleaning the frame of one of the many paintings on the hallway. Nightmare turned around and started walking away.
It was odd, he could swear that someone had been screaming. And that maid…
Why even was she there? All of the servants were told that if they wanted, they could help with the preparation. And since this was a celebration that even the high born ladies and lords helped out. It seemed that this ’Halloween’ was very important to the ghosts. But that ghost… She was just cleaning an already clean frame.
And her whole demeanor… It was odd. She was so calm and her eyes seemed to gleam when he asked about someone being there.
Nightmare shrugged and continued walking the various hallways before coming to a halt. It was her painting. (Y/N)’s. Nightmare hadn’t seen this one before. It was the ghost, sitting on a swing near a forest. She was wearing a beautiful lavender and purple dress. She was surrounded by various flowers growing around on the ground and in the bushes. She was wearing a teasing smile as if she knew Nightmare was looking at her.
It was truly odd, Nightmare thought. Even if she smiled and seemed happy, he couldn’t really feel positive feelings. She felt hollow, cold. But with the skeletons living around, Nightmare could feel something sparkling in her. At first, it seemed pure but then it became tainted. Dark… Something oh, so delicious.
But…
Along with her feelings, Nightmare himself started feeling something. At first, it was something small, a fluttering feeling that disappeared and appeared. Soon it became something stronger; every time (Y/N) would come close to him, talk to him, Nightmare could feel something inside of him. It burned him but in a… pleasant way.
Soon. Soon Nightmare figured it out.
He was in love. It was disgusting, foreign. He, the King of Nightmares, the Protector of Negativity was in love. With a ghost that was once a human.
After a bit of soul searching (heh), he finally found out why this was happening.
A SOULmate.
Ha! What a funny thing. Stars, something was wrong with the universe that he actually had a bloody SOULmate. But then he started to think. (Y/N) wasn’t your usual woman. She was a ghost that was full of negative energy and something else. Charming and lovely the first second, harsh and cold the other.
A perfect Queen.
The clock chimed at 9 o’clock at the grand entrance. The party was supposed to start at 10 o’clock. The skeletons were trying to feverishly find each other but somehow kept missing each other in the haunted mansion.
Meanwhile, the Lady of Blumwell Estate was also getting ready. Her usual white dress was switched to a rich dark blue and black satin that was carefully decorated. Her hair was styled into her favorite one. Charlotte was tying last of her corset laces while Lily was putting a headband on her head.
”You look beautiful Lady (Y/N)” Charlotte said and Lily nodded.
”Yes, very beautiful. I’m sure the good sirs will love you” she said and (Y/N) giggled.
”Thank you, friends. But… what about you? Don’t you want to change your clothes?” she asked as she turned around to see her friends.
”Ah, you sure (Y/N)?” Lily said and the lady nodded, smiling happily.
”Of course! Just pick whatever you want. After all, it’s not like the other ladies and lords could stop us” she said and the two maids nodded and cautiously walked to the open wardrobe. After searching and picking out the outfits, Lily and Charlotte had found perfect dresses with accessories.
”Ladies, you look truly gorgeous!” (Y/N) said as she gracefully walked around the room with the two ladies giggling at her compliments. (Y/N) turned to look at herself from the mirror. She looked truly beautiful, like an angelic demon.
”We still have time to kill” (Y/N) said and the smiled.
”Shall we go then (Y/N)?” Lily asked while Charlotte giggled.
”Of course, there’s still time…” the lady said and so the three ghosts walked out of (Y/N)’s room.
Epic yawned as he walked to the Estate. The sun had already set down and the full moon was out. Quite fitting for the Halloween Eve. Few clouds were shadowing the sky but otherwise a truly beautiful night.
But Epic felt like something was wrong. Very, very wrong. He didn’t know what it was yet but something was off the moment he stepped inside the Estate.
You see, Epic had gone to see all the other Sanses and Papyruses that try to fix the Machine that brought them to this Universe. An Alpha Universe. He had even tried to find Ink and Dream but those two were still somewhere trying to find Error and Nightmare. So no luck there.
While he had been away from the Estate, he had been thinking. Ever since he had seen her pushed into the oncoming traffic, he had noticed something strange in her. She had looked so calm when facing a dangerous situation. And then she had just given him a place to sleep. To stay. And she had been so calm and even happy to meet a stranger who was a monster. Even though monsters had been on the Surface for a while in this universe, no person would be like (Y/N).
There was also the odd thing about her SOUL. It seemed to be somewhere around the ghost but not truly like a living person’s SOUL would be. Still Epic could feel some sort of connection. Maybe it was just friendship, perhaps even something more. He couldn’t tell yet. But from the looks of the other occupants, they were smitten with the ghost Lady. And then he had realized. She was pretty much everyone’s SOULmate. Stars, this was a plot twist Epic hadn’t expected, in fact, it was like something from a super basic reverse harem plot. Did this mean that his life was basically an anime?
Epic honestly didn’t know what to do with this sort of information so he just kept it a secret. After all, the other skeletons should be able to figure out their attraction to the ghost Lady at some point.
But now he was back at the Estate and the moment he had stepped in, he noted it was oddly quiet. Then he noticed Cross and surprisingly Xhara walking out from the ballroom.
”sup bruhs,” he said casually and Cross quickly turned and launched towards him.
”duuuude! when did you arrive?!” he asked and looped his arm around Epic’s neck.
”just a couple minutes ago bruh” Epic answered and Cross laughed, happy that his friend is back.
”so what’s up with xhara bruh?” the purple skeleton asked and Cross shrugged.
”i seriously have no idea dude. he just suddenly changed to this” he said and pointed at the armored man who crossed his arms.
’You do realize I can hear you right? So stop talking about me like I’m not here!’ Xhara said and Epic chuckled.
”OH HELLO EPIC! AND CROSS AND… XHARA?” A voice boomed and the trio turned around to see the Horrorbros approaching.
”oh, sup bruhs. nice costume sweets” Epic said and Sweets beamed.
”YOU REALLY THINK SO? MISS (Y/N) LET ME BORROW IT!” he said and Axe waved from behind the tall skeleton.
”knife to meet ya again epic,” the larger skeleton said and Epic nodded lazily towards him.
”ha! told ya we could find them!” Killer shouted as he busted down the door with Dust and Phantom following him with a deadpan expression.
”seriously killer? you just had to break the door down?” Dust asked while Phantom just sighed and muttered about unruly other-brothers. Killer turned around and saw the splintered remains of the door and winced. Stars, (Y/N) wouldn’t like that. Nor would the other ghosts.
”oops,” he said and scratched his neck while the others just facepalmed or sighed.
”how are we gonna fix tha-” Cross said but stopped as the splinters and the broken door slowly melted together and attached itself to its original place.
”… you guys saw that?” Dust asked with wide eyesockets. Epic slowly nodded while Axe went to inspect the door.
”that was weird” Killer muttered.
”what was weird?” Nightmare asked as he entered the grand entrance via shadows. He groaned as he saw Epic looking at him.
”what do you want?” he growled and Epic shrugged.
”just surprised to see ya bruh. inky-bruh and dream-bruh are looking for ya bruh” he said and Nightmare rolled his single eye light.
”well, they can keep looking for all i care,” Nightmare said and glared at Epic, hoping to get the message through. He wasn’t about to listen to the hypocrisy that his brother shouted or Ink’s stupid reasonings.
”geez, chill bruh, your secret is safe with me,” the purple skeleton said and put his finger on his mouth. Nightmare rolled his eye light again and straightened the cuff of his jacket.
”Wowie! You Are Really Dressed Up!” Sweets said, looking at Nightmare. Everyone looked Nightmare more closely and sure enough, he had changed his usual hoodie, shorts, slippers combo to something else. Something he hadn’t worn in a long time. It was his old outfit when things were 'better’. Nightmare thought he would never wear it again but just for his SOULmate, he would look like the King she knew him to be. He had put on his old crown.
Killer whistled.
”looking good nightmare” he said and the said skeleton just grunted.
”yeah, yeah, whatever you say. where're your outfits anyway? This was supposed to be a costume party you know? and xhara… what the hell happened to you?” Nightmare said and while the other skeletons started panicking, Xhara just shrugged.
’Dunno, I just changed to this form. Not that I mind, it’s nice to look your own age’ he said and Phantom came and floated around him.
’YOU LOOK… REALLY NICE… XHARA… I WONDER… IF I CAN PUT… SOME DIFFERENT CLOTHES ON… TOO’ he said and Xhara looked at him.
’Well, you should at least try. There’s a ton of clothes in the attic, maybe you can find something’ he said and all the skeletons were suddenly gone, leaving only Epic, Xhara and Nightmare in the hallway.
”stars they are idiots,” Nightmare said, facepalming.
A melody played in the mansion as the clock struck 10 o’clock. The once dark hallways lit up one by one the old lamps turned on emitting ghostly blue light. Outside, lanterns that the servants had put up also lit up and bathed the garden in mysterious yet ominous lights. The doors to the ballroom opened and a thin layer of fog exited the room as the skeletons entered the room.
”wow, this is so cool,” Killer said and Epic nodded.
”yeah, this is epic bruh,” he said and Cross nodded as he stepped more in. All of the skeletons were dressed in suits that they found inside the attic with different accessories. Some like Cross and Epic had swords while Axe wore a hat though he still had his signature weapon with him. Dust had sprinkled or rather bathed in cobwebs and ash and Killer had wrapped some old yellowed gauze around himself. Xhara was in his dark armor while Phantom had found a rather fancy looking cape. He matched Sweets outfit rather well. Nightmare, of course, was wearing his ’prince’ly outfit.
Suddenly the chandeliers lit up with the ominous blue light and the group could see the ballroom fully. It had been transformed into something mythical, something out of this world.
”Ah! You’re here!” the group turned around to see (Y/N) who was walking quickly up to them. They all were in complete shock of her outfit. They had expected to see her in her usual white and blue dress but instead, she was wearing a dark blue and purple dress with black and golden details. She wasn’t wearing her gloves and instead was wearing a black and gold masquerade mask. Though the most striking detail must have been the horned headband she was wearing. It looked like she was wearing a purple rose crown and that she had horns protruding from the sides of her head.
”oh wow spooks, you look… amazing” Axe said and (Y/N) giggled, covering her mouth.
”You really think so dear?” she asked and Dust nodded.
”well duh! You look gorgeous, do us a little twirl” he said and (Y/N) happily did so, grasping the trail of the dress so she wouldn’t trip.
”You look good too darlings! And… Oh my, Xhara, is that you?” the ghost lady said with wide eyes as she looked at a rather handsome, white-haired man in the armor.
’Yup, it’s me, angel. Like what you see?’ Xhara asked with a cocky smile as (Y/N) walked around him, trying to get a good look at him.
”Oh my, you look good my dear,” she said, smiling happily.
”so where are all the other ghosts bruh?” Epic asked and (Y/N) shrugged.
”I… really don’t know. The higher ladies and lords were supposed to attend and the former servants don’t usually join. I truly hope this time it would change...” the lady said and sighed, seemingly disappointed.
”But that doesn’t matter! We can still celebrate! As you might know, the barrier between the living and the dead thinners for the night. Magic is strongly in the air and anything is possible” (Y/N) said as she walked further into the ballroom.
”It has been a tradition for many years in the Estate to celebrate this wonderful day and I, Lady (Y/N) Blumwell welcome you to the Samhain Celebration!” (Y/N) said turning around, her arms spread and the tables were suddenly filled up with food.
”Eat, we have a long night ahead of us!” she said and the skeletons happily went to check out what kind of food was available. Though Nightmare was looking at (Y/N) with furrowed brows. While the others were starting to eat and chat (Y/N) turned to look at Nightmare and tilted her head.
”Is something wrong my King?” she asked and Nightmare looked at her seriously and he was quiet for a minute before replying.
”...nothing”. (Y/N) tilted her head before gently smiling and walking to the tables to join into the conversation while Nightmare stared at her. She felt…. Different. Stronger perhaps? And darker. He felt like a puzzle piece was missing, blocking the whole picture. He was going to find out what it was and then… Then he tells the ghost about the SOULbond.
The feast was wonderful as (Y/N) had expected. Even most of the servants had joined in and feasted with her friends. Friends… Were they truly friends? (Y/N) stared into her wine glass and pondered this question. She didn’t feel like they were friends. She felt something else. Something that she hadn’t felt in a long time… Something that she had only felt with… Matthew…
’MISS (Y/N)… IS EVERYTHING… ALRIGHT?’ Phantom’s voice snapped the ghost lady out of her thoughts and she turned to look at him.
”Ah everything is alright Phantom dear, no need to worry,” she said and the ghost skeleton nodded. He looked nervous…
’MISS (Y/N)… WOULD YOU LIKE TO… DANCE?’ Phantom asked and (Y/N) looked surprised.
”Why of course. I couldn’t turn down such invitation by a gentleman like yourself” she said and Phantom grinned as he leads her to the dancefloor. The orchestra wasn’t there yet somewhere in the stage a melody started playing. (Y/N)’s eyes twinkled as the two began gracefully dance through the ballroom enhabited by the other ghosts dancing.
”The Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss the Second,” she said as the two ghosts started dancing across the ballroom, their feet not touching the ground.
Dust watched his brother and their SOULmate dance in the dancefloor. Everyone seemed to have fun, especially since those sourpusses, meaning the old ladies and lords, were not there to dampen the mood. He saw that the former servants were having fun, laughing and dancing. Though it did surprise him a bit, Dust had no idea that his brother knew how to dance the waltz.
”hey, dust” the said skeleton turned around to see Axe there, holding a plate full of food. Stars, the large skeleton had already eaten two plates and yet he didn’t seem satisfied.
”sup? having a killer time?” Dust said and Axe grinned, his single eye light focusing on the dusted skeleton.
”oh definutely, the food is so good,” he said as he sat next to Dust. Axe looked towards the dancefloor and looked at Dust.
”didn’t know your brother could dance,” he said and Dust shrugged.
”yeah, didn’t know that either. i wonder how he learned that” he said and the two fell into silence. Axe was eating and looking closely at his SOULmate. Er, their SOULmate. The group had talked about the whole SOULmate thing when they were scavenging the attic.
While all of them wanted to fight each other, it was discussed that it wouldn’t do them any good. All of them were the single lady’s SOULmates and even though some wanted to dust others, they didn’t know how it would affect the ghost lady.
So they found a compromise; all of them would try to get along while showering the lady with affection. She had suffered enough already.
”when are we gonna tell her?” Axe asked with a low voice and Dust shrugged.
”probably during this party. she seems to be in a good mood” he said and Axe nodded.
”what are you brahs whispering here like old ladies?” Epic asked as he appeared to empty seat near Dust. He was soon followed by Cross.
”just thinking when we should tell her,” Dust said.
”yeah, we should tell her soon,” Cross said and Epic agreed.
”Oh my, what are you dears talking here?” the group almost jumped when they heard (Y/N)’s voice. They hadn’t noticed the music stopping and the two ghosts walking towards the table.
”nothin’ much, just talking what a terrific party this is,” Axe said and (Y/N) giggled.
”Well, I do have to agree that the party is rather wonderful. the decoration is hauntingly beautiful Cross” she said and Cross blushed slightly.
”thanks, me and xhara had fun putting it up,” he said and the ghost looked around.
”Where is Xhara by the way?” she asked and Cross shrugged.
”i don’t know, he seemed to be a real hit with the ladies,” he said and (Y/N) smiled tightly.
”Oh really? That’s wonderful!” she said.
”hey, what are you guys doing here?” Killer asked as he walked to the group with Nightmare in toe.
”Oh hello, Killer, Nightmare. We are just chatting” (Y/N) said and Killer grinned.
”that’s nice. Phantom, saw your dance moves there, didn’t know you could dance” he said and the ghost blushed slightly.
’IT’S NOT A… BIG OF A DEAL… ONE OF THE MAIDS… TEACHED ME…’ Phantom said and (Y/N) hummed.
”So that’s what ’Lotte and you’ve been doing,” she said.
”don’t mean to sound rude but there’s something we need to talk about,” Nightmare said and (Y/N) tilted her head.
”Oh? Right now?” she said, with a little worry in her voice. The others wanted to stop Nightmare but knew it would be rather futile. It was better to get this conversation over quickly.
”yes, right now,” Nightmare said and (Y/N) sighed.
”Very well, shall we go to the Winter Garden?” she asked and the group started walking towards the Winter Garden, Axe snagging Sweets with him while Xhara saw the group heading out and joined to the group.
”Now what did you wanted to talk about?” (Y/N) asked with a hint of nervousness in her voice.
”OH, WE WANTED TO-”
”why have your stats risen?” Nightmare cut Sweets off as he looked at (Y/N) straight into eyes.
”W-What?” she asked, shocked. While she knew a small amount of STATs from the skeletons, she never truly dwelled into it.
”your stats have risen a huge amount. and when we first saw them, they already were strange” Nightmare continued and the skeletons’ eye lights locked into the ghost’s. She stayed quiet for a while as the skeletons looked at her.
”...is this true sweetcheeks? your stats have risen?” Killer asked and Nightmare scoffed.
”check yourselves,” he said and (Y/N) sighed.
”You can check if you want to, I have nothing to hide,” she said and looked down, soon she felt a shiver go down her spine as the skeletons checked her.

”MISS (Y/N)… YOUR STATS...” Sweets said.
”how?” Axe whispered. How did her STATs rose so fast?
(Y/N) had been looking down at the ground before letting out a low giggle.
”I guess the cat is out of the bag. Such pity…” she said as she looked at the skeletons with a small smile, removing her mask.
”Did you know that killing ghosts is different from killing humans?” (Y/N) asked, tilting her head.
”When ghosts die, their whole being is being ripped apart, like paper. Slow and agonizing” she continued, walking up to the table and putting down the mask.
”But humans… Humans are different. They can die fast or slow, depending on the circumstances. I would know, after all, Matthew was the one to kill me” she said and paused for a moment, looking at the mask.
”Matthew…” (Y/N) sighed, looking out of the window. ”I truly did love him. With all my heart. Ever since we met that fateful night I knew he had to be mine.” The ghost said, sighing happily. She had a soft blush on her face, reminding of the past long gone. She could still remember Matthew in his midnight black suit as the two danced as one August Winding was playing his original creation, Three Fantasy Pieces, Op 10. The ballroom had become silent as the two stared into each other's eyes; rather scandalous but she couldn’t help it! It was truly a magical moment! Like the Universe itself had matched the two up!
”And soon, it became true! After our grandeur wedding, he was mine and I was his. Life was like a dream!” The ghost continued as the group of skeletons watched her. This was an… Unexpected turn. As long as they had known (Y/N), she had hated her ex-husband with a burning passion. And now she was practically swooning?
”But...” She paused, looking into the fire, eyes suddenly cold and harsh.
”It seemed he didn’t quite understand that. You see, after a while, he started leaving the house to go to the city” (Y/N) said before sighing dramatically and turning around, her dark dress floating from the movement. She looked at the skeletons with such a cold look.
”’ Work’ was what he always told me and I truly believed him even if a small part of me knew he was lying. After all, we were practically royalty! He wouldn’t need to work! But as his wife, I remained silent” (Y/N) said and glared at the air; she could almost see Matthew there, cheeringly saying goodbye as he walked out of the room.
”After a while, I started becoming annoyed at this, but of course, a lady would never show her true feelings, especially if those feelings didn’t agree with the husbands. That’s what mother taught me.” The ghost paused and looked at the skeletons with such a soft smile, a complete 180 from the previous hatred and anger she had displayed.
”… You know, my mother was a wonderful tutor” (Y/N) started while touching the ring on her finger. Her voice was soft and gentle as she took a step forward towards the skeletons before stopping.
”She managed to trap her husband through manipulation and sweet words. Though she did have to… remove a couple of girls from the court to get to him. She was a great actress. I still miss her, even to this day” the (blonde brunette, etc.) ghost said and Cross had to stop her.
”And your father? Did he know? About the manipulation?” he asked and (Y/N) tilted her head, pausing.
”My father? Perhaps. If I were to guess, he might have known but by then it was too far to break the bonds” she said and giggled.
”My mother and I share quite a lot. While Wanda and Pietro were born normal, I wasn’t. Though I guess that’s why my mother loved me so much. We were so alike” (Y/N) continued and looked at Epic and Cross. ”I believe you know what kind of person I am. I believe you showed me a video once about the girl who became obsessed with that one boy”.
”you mean the yandere chick bruh?” Epic asked and (Y/N) nodded happily.
”Yes, her! While I’m not as emotionless as her, I still had a hard time to ’feel’ anything. Just like my mother. She showed me how to act in certain situations. Also, like her, I tended to attach myself to people” the ghost lady said and this time Killer had to stop her from continuing.
”and the rest of your family? did they know about this?” he asked and (Y/N) looked at him with amusement.
”Hm, how odd that you bring them up. But to answer your question, I think Pietro and Wanda knew. That’s why they bullied me so relentlessly. Those two were such annoyances, I am glad they are dead” she said, angrily growling at the end. She soon composed herself and continued.
”Father didn’t do much but suspect he might have noticed my quirks. He often said that I was quite like my mother. After all, I was and still am my mother’s daughter. She taught me everything, from manipulation to acting and how to kill” (Y/N) said with a smile on her face as she looked at the group.
Axe was silent, having sat down to the chair near him. His phalanges were digging to the armrests. Sweets was near his brother, his eye lights grown bigger at each sentence (Y/N) was saying.
Dust was grinning but his eye sockets were empty while Phantom was floating next to Xhara, both looking shocked.
Cross had been silent with Epic, looking at (Y/N) with sharp eyes while Nightmare looked at her with a small grin. So this is what she had been hiding.
There was a moment of silence as (Y/N) looked at each of the skeletons with that smile on her face. She sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose as she looked out of the large windows.
”It was easy you know? Killing back then. Just a loose brick here and there and oh dear, it looks like a part of a building collapsed” the ghost lady said as she walked towards the skeletons, her dress rustling with each step.
”Or cut straps in the riding saddle and something that smells like a predator. Oh dear, poor Madeleine fell and snapped her neck, such pity!” She said, speaking from the memory. Madeleine was an annoying little girl, she would constantly comment about (Y/N)’s appearance and how she acted. While she didn’t mean to kill the girl, it was ten times more satisfying. She could still remember the funeral service, all the fake tears people shed for the spoiled brat as the court continued to play its games.
”Truly, it was more simple back then”.
”Anyway, back to my dear Matthew” the (blonde brunette, etc.) suddenly said and turned her back towards the skeletons, happily starting to explaining about her husband.
”Now, one night, I decided to follow him to Ebott Town and see what he was doing. And guess what I found?” She asked while turning her head to glance at skeletons with an overly sweet smile.
”A mistress.”
The air became cold as the smile became freezing cold and her eyes became empty.
”He got a fucking mistress in the town! She was a sad little thing too with her mousy face and beady eyes, I honestly don’t know how she managed to get Matthew’s attention” (Y/N) said while gripping her dress tightly. God that woman… That woman… She took a deep breath and loosened her grip to the dress and turned around.
”Now, most people would just run there and confront them but not me. Mother had always told not to make rash decisions, those would get you to the noose. So I went back home and acted like nothing had happened. He came back after while, we kissed and went to sleep.”
”I started laying the charm heavy on Matthew, trying to make him stop leaving the house more often. But that foolish man didn’t listen and instead went to meet that girl. So I started asking around” (Y/N) puased and narrowed her eyes.
”Her name was Annaliese you see, and she was the only daughter of a baker in the town. She wasn’t anything special, she didn’t even have a good social standing!” the (blonde brunette, etc.) said and started raising her voice as the temperature dropped more. What was she compared to me, the daughter of Margrave and Marchioness of the German Empire! I was roaylty, had connections to every family in Europe and had money to spend so what was so special about her?!” She screamed and slammed her foot to to the ground. Her appearence flashed to her bloody form though her clothes stayed the same. As suddenly as the tantrum had begun, it stopped and the temperature went back to normal. (Y/N) took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
”So I did what was best for him, to us” she said coldly before grinning.
”I started planning this long before the… Accident. I listened my servants and the rumors they brought in with them. While in town, I listened the whispers and what was popular gossip around the town. My dear Lily and ’Lotte were in it too you know? They were excellent at spying and hearing the right rumors!” She said and clasped her hands together.
”So one day, I heard a rumor that there was a man new to the town. He was a traveller you see, always looking new jobs. He was poor but a charming fellow; rumors said he would do anything to get money. I asked ’Lotte dear to meet this man and tell me what she thought of him. She told him he was a fool, easy to manipulate” (Y/N) said and giggled as she thought back to that time.
”So one night, I went to the town in servant’s clothing that I borrowed from ’Lotte along with a dark cape. I went to meet the mysterious traveller and ’Lotte dear was right; he was truly a fool. A charming young man who only wanted to help his family. So I offered sachel full of money in exchange of killing the girl. He at first tried to deny the offer, stating it was too dangerous, that he could get caught” (Y/N) still remembered what the man looked like; he had a golden skin with dark hair and such pretty olive eyes. A peasant. A smart one but a peasant netherless. But (Y/N) was smarter.
”Luckily for him, a caravan had stopped a week earlier to the town and very planning on leaving the next day. It was the easy cover story; the night that the caravan left, he would sneak into Miss Annaliese’s house and kill her, clean himself up, give me the evidence in exchange for the money and then just… leave”. (Y/N) shrugged her shoulders. As she had said before, murder was much more easier than now days. She looked at the skeletons. They seemed shocked, maybe little disgusted. But there was something in their eyelights that the ghost couldn’t decipher.
”Now of course he had to get a good alibi so I asked him to give me some of his dear wife’s letters to fake a letter telling him that something had happened and he needed to get home immediately” the ghost continued and smiled.
”Money is always a motivator and so he took the rope, the knife and the bag I gave to him. I told him that he would get the money after bringing me some evidence”. (Y/N) walked right infront of Killer and grinned.
”Miss Annaliese had always such pretty green eyes you see dears. The greenest of them all, like jewels” she said and tilted her head and stepped back, playing with her dress.
”Those eyes were very easily identified. I honestly didn’t care about how the man did the deed but as long as he had her eyes” (Y/N)’s grin became sharp. God those eyes, they were such a pretty pair. Too bad they had to belong someone so… plain. She still couldn’t believe Matthew had chosen someone like her, over his own wife!
”And the foolish man actually did it! We met at dawn, before the sun had risen. He gave me the bloody bag and I gave him the change of clothes, money. He couldn’t even look me into the eyes” the ghost lady said giggling.
”Matthew darling of course was mournful. After all his… mistress had just died but I was there to comfront him. And so our lives continued as normal with him wrapped around my little finger” she said, blushing slightly and she covered her cheeks, giggling.
”Our lifes were like a fairytale after that! But then he started to change...” her smile faded and she glared at the empty air, slowly letting her arms fall to her sides.
”He became more distant. He didn’t want to spend time with me anymore. He just spend all the time in his office!” (Y/N) said and scowled.
”I tried to have him spend time with me but then he just started refusing, stating he had things to do!”
”Then it happened. After the party we came home. It was a cold and dark night, I remember that it was raining and thundering. We walked inside and he had been drinking. And so the floodgates opened” (Y/N) said and sighed with hurt expression. This part… This part was painful…
”He started yelling at me. Saying he knew what I did. That I killed Annaliese and I was the reason he was so miserable!” (Y/N) said and her hands started to shake.
”I denied it but yet he continued screaming. So I fired back. I screamed that I knew. I knew he was sleeping behind my back! I told him every name. Annaliese, Emily, Sansa, Erica… I knew about all of them! He started denying but I refused to belief him. So, I had to stop him. He was ruining our marriage!” she screamed and looked at the skeletons angrily. But she wasn’t angry at them. No, she was angry at Matthew.
”He was the one who attacked first, I swear! He struck me. So… I had no other choice. You see, I always carried a knife with me, it was a cruel world afterall” ghost lady said and hummed.
”He got scared, he tried to get away from me. But it was just a misunderstanding! I chased after him and tackled him. He bit my cheek. God, it hurt!” (Y/N) winced and and went to touch her cheek.
”At somepoint he managed to get the knife and managed to get my eye. While I know it was only because he was scared, I was furious” she continued and looked towards the door leading outside.
”I started chasing him and during this time my memory has become little faded, perhaps from the bloodloss. But oh well. Though I do remember him running down the stairs. I followed him and I slipped” (Y/N) said and the skeletons watched as the bruises appeared to her skin, bleeding into her skin like a twisted watercolors.
”When I woke up, he was gone and never came back” she said, tears starting to roll down her face.
”My love, my dearest, gone! He left me!” the ghost wailed. She cried for a while before quickly stopping.
”But you… You haven’t left me!” (Y/N) said, looking at the group.
”so are you going to kill us too?” Nightmare asked, tilting his head a little.
”Kill you? Oh no, no, no! I had been so alone before you came here. You became my light, my happiness. Because of you I managed feel again! It’s so wonderful, to feel something and not phantom sensations” (Y/N) explained as the bruises melted away and a small smile started to form on her lips.
”You were my miracle! You came and took my sadness away! Just like knights with shining armors!” (Y/N) giggled and happily smiled. Then she tilted her head.
”You aren’t thinking of leaving me, are you? You aren’t like Matthew, right?” the (blonde brunette, etc.) ghost asked with a smile before letting out a giggle.
”Though it’s not like you can leave. You remember Miss Chamomile, right?” she asked and giggled more.
”You see, Miss Chamomile is actually a true witch and has magic running through her, even dead, veins. She and I made a plan. This whole Estate has a similat barrier to that you had in… Underground was it? And it’ll prevent you from leaving. Also your silly little electronics won’t work here too so please, don’t try to do anything” (Y/N) said and laughed happily.
”So just keep smiling for me, okay?” she said and there was a silence as the skeletons progressed what she had just said. It was quiet and (Y/N) expected them to throw a fit just like Matthew did.
”that won’t be necessary sweetcheeks” Killer said as he stepped closer to the ghost who tilted her head in confusion.
”ya see, we wanted to tell you spectre but nightmare decided to mess things up” Dust said and glared at the Protector.
”oh, blaming me now?” Nightmare growled and Cross glared at him.
”well you started this whole rabbit hole and look where it led us! we find out that our soulmate is a murderer and a goddamn yandere!” he yelled and then paused.
”shit, i outed it” he whispered and Axe groaned.
”goddamnit guys. we were supposed to break this gently to the spooks and look what you did” he growled and Phantom floated slowly to (Y/N)’s side who was silent the whole time.
’MISS (Y/N)… ARE YOU… ALRIGHT…?’ he asked and (Y/N) slowly looked at him.
”Is this true? … Soulmates?” she asked and the skeletons turned to look at her.
”yes spooks, it is” Axe said and Epic took over.
”ya see bruh…. soulmates are very real to monsters. though only few find theirs. and we got lucky bruh” he said and (Y/N) tilted her head.
”But… There’s so many of you, how are we-?” she asked and Dust let out a laugh.
”we are alternate versions of each other, that’s why you are our soulmate spectre. you were made for us and we were made for you” he said and (Y/N) took a step forward.
”But…” she said with a hesitant look and Killer grinned.
”but nothing. ya are ours sweetcheeks and nothing will come between us” Killer growled and touched the knife inside of his coat pocket.
”You don’t mind that I have killed people? And practically locked you in here?” (Y/N) asked, slightly concerned. Soulmates… Soulmates would change everything. Is this why… She had felt so hollow her entire life? Because she wasn’t with her soulmate?
”you really think that we would care if you had killed people? my queen, we have killed people too. lots of them” Nightmare said and grinned sharply.
”yup, you already know our past spooks, you should have known better” Axe said and Sweets nodded.
”Yes, While I Do Have To Say That Your Actions Were Not… The Best, I Still Believe You Are A Good Person” Sweets said and the others agreed verbally.
”well as long as you ain’t gonna go all yandere on us, okay angel?” Cross said and (Y/N) paused. There was a moment of silence as Epic and Cross started sweating. Was she already full yandere on them?
”I mean, I wasn’t going to go ’all yandere’ over you. Just making sure you wouldn’t leave me~” she said and then paused again.
”I was going to kill those skeletons in the Lodge too for hurting you but they are my SOULmates too, correct?” the ghost lady asked and then smiled.
”But you don’t need to worry about them! After all, I only care about you!” (Y/N) said happily.
”Now, was there anything else you wanted to tell me? Don’t worry, we have eternity so there’s no need to rush” she said and suddenly Killer went and kissed her. The kiss was passionate if not a little messy as the black tar smeared on (Y/N)’s skin. The two parted and (Y/N) was blushing bright red.
”just wanted to tell you that i love ya sweetcheeks” Killer said with a smirk before he was pushed away by Dust who gripped the ghost’s shoulders and gave her a forceful, yet equally passionate kiss.
”watch it tar face, i loved spectre first” he said glaring at Killer who got off from the floor.
’BROTHER… SERIOUSLY… THAT IS NOT THE WAY TO TREAT A LADY’ Phantom said as he gently directed a kiss to (Y/N)’s lips. The said ghost was rather shellshocked by the sudden attention she was getting but she couldn’t deny that she liked the attention. Matthew had not given her this kind of attention, she had been the one to do so… She was suddenly picked up by the huge Axe.
”stop thinking that brat. you are ours now and no other can match us” he said, his red eye staring right into the ghost lady’s dead SOUL. She giggled a bit and said back.
”Well you must be mine then too”. With that a hungry and desperate kiss ensued. It was like Axe was scared. Scared that this was only a dream. But when he looked into the blank eyes, he knew. They said ’I’m not going to leave you’.
”BROTHER DON’T HOG HER!” Sweets said and Axe snapped out of the kiss and the taller skeleton snatched the ghost lady up and gave her a sloppy and careful kiss, not to cut her lips by his teeth. When he had finished, Sweets blushed and set the woman down. (Y/N) was blushing bright red and her lips were dark pink from all the kissing. She saw Xhara pushing Cross forwards and he sighed.
”ya know, i’m not that good at this but…” Cross said and laid a hesitant kiss on the ghost what suddenly turned into a desperate and passionate kiss. She could hear Xhara whooping in the background. When they seperated, Epic coughed awkwardly.
”eh i don’t know if i love ya bruh, so i’m not gonna do anything” Epic said and patted (Y/N)’s shoulder, slightly awkward but the ghost just laughed.
”Oh it’s alright Epic darling! Just know that you are still precious for me” she said and kissed his cheek before smiling and backing away.
”Now, I think we should go back to the party. I’d love to be able to dance with all of you tonight” (Y/N) said as she started walking towards the ballroom.
”Besides, I need to introduce the new Lords of the Estate” she said giggling as she heard the skeletons scramble towards her. They passed her by and just as (Y/N) was about ton walk out, a tentacle wrapped around her waist.
”you wouldn’t forget about me, now would you my queen?” Nightmare asked and (Y/N) giggled.
”Oh I would never forget my King” she said and Nightmare grinned. He leaned over and gave her a hungry kiss before sighing.
”you are mine now. you know that right? And i can’t wait to sink my teeth onto you…” Nightmare growled and (Y/N) laughed.
”Now, now dear King. We still have party to attend to” she said and slipped away, into the bright light on the ballroom.
Truly, she was blessed. And if anyone, and she meant anyone was going to hurt her darlings… Well…
(Y/N) smirked, her eyes flashing.
Well, there’s plenty of space to hide their bodies, right?
