Chapter 2: meeting error

*"W-W-Well whAt d-Do we H-H-Have H-Here?"  The figure spoke.*

**————————————————————————————————————**

"W-Who are you!" Yelled Scarlet out of anger and fear. He quickly regretted his choice of tone when the skeleton chuckled evilly. "**O-Oh bOy HahA, I-I can't BeLiEve t-that you d-Don't even k-Know me!"** The figure sneered.

Scarlet slowly stood up as The skeleton was distracted. But was caught up in his appearance. It was so.... unnerving..

He wore black flip flops, stitched up pants with blue slightly blended in, a jacket that had the same appearance as his pants, a red sweater beneath, and a long blue scarf dragging down to his knees.

Scarlet didn't dare look at the figures face, he was to scared. Scarlet began to back away hoping not to be noticed, until the mysterious skeleton turned back towards him.

"**W-where aRe yOU g-going?"** The skeleton growled. "I-I got to get going.... I-I hope I didn't intrude or anything.. heh..." scarlet said chuckling nervously. "**Your NOt g-going ANYwheRe, A-AnoMaly!"** He yelled as he shoot long blue strings towards Scarlet. *Oh my stars... that must've been what held that soul...* scarlet thought before he jumped backwards hoping to magically end up somewhere away from the angry skeleton. But that did no work of course and was tangled in the strings. *AHH! I GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE!* Scarlet panicked trying his best to wiggle out of the tight strings keeping him in place.

"**HAh, you C-Can try to eXcape my STrings b-But lemme tell y-y-you, there UnBreaKaBle"** the figure said slyly. Scarlets heartbeat increased. *Oh no.... I'm going to die-*

Suddenly out of the blue, a skeleton with a white long-sleeved undershirt with a small brown jacket, brown pants, no shoes. A big splotch of ink on his face. And a huge paintbrush came through a strange looking portal. "Hey Error!" He grinned.

**"H-Hey! Who In-invitEd T-the Freak-k"** Error groined angrily. "Aww, that's not very nice" pouted the figure by the portal.

Scarlet didn't know wether to scream for help or to continue to listen to the conversation. The figure slowly glanced at Scarlet, *what is he going to do?* Scarlet thought.

"Hey, whatcha doing with this skeleton here?" Questioned The figure towards Error. **"M-mind yOuR o-Own BisnNess!"** Error yelled. **D-Don't YOu have A-Any Aus To P-p-protect or SomeThiNg?!"** He said glitching up. "I'm on my break" he smiled.

"Mind if I take this skeleton out of your hands" the smiling figure asked. Error thought for a moment, **"actually I dO!"** Error yowled shooting bright Error blasters at The figure. "Watch out!" Yelled scarlet struggling to release himself from the strings grip.

Suddenly the figure teleported out of the way, trusting out his huge paintbrush . "Are you sure you wanna do this again, you know I'm going to win" he chuckled. **"S-SH-SHUT UP S-SQUID BOY!"** The glitchy skeleton hissed in fury.

Scarlet was in awe on how the mysterious person dodged Errors attacks with ease, he barely even noticed that the strings were loosening around him. Before he knew I he was on the ground again admiring the scene before him.

Before he knew it Error had Retreated to the farther corners of the anti-void, leaving Scarlet alone with the mystery skeleton. "Hello, uh thanks for saving me" Scarlet said ruddying the back of his skull nervously. "No problem! Tho you should be heading back home" the other skeleton said grinning. "Oh, how rude am I, I'm Ink!" Ink said. "I think I'm Scarlet, and to be honest... I don't know where my home is.." Scarlet said trying not to burst into tears. "Oh dear! Well that's not good," ink said deeply thinking. "I got it! How about I help you!" "Help me?" Scarlet repeated. "How! I can barely remember anything, all I know is that this place is very unfriendly." Scarlet said looking defeated. "Well, who knows I could possibly jog your memory" Ink said giving Scarlet a shoulder pat. "First, we need to get you out of this dump" the cheerful skeleton said leading the way to the open portal he came through in.

"Were are we going?" Asked Scarlet curious. "We are going to the doodleSphere!" He said walking into the portal. Scarlet hesitated, he didn't know if he cold trust ink, he could be like Error. "Well, are you coming?" grinned Ink.

"Yeah, I think I am"
