Hunted

A Threat

TECHNO POV

That was too easy Tommy. I can see now why Dream is so obsessed with you.

I stared over at his sleeping form.

You're far too much fun to manipulate with.

I turned away.

The pieces are falling into place.

Soon Lmanburg will be nothing but ruble.

At that moment my stomach grumbled.

"And I'm hungry."

I walked over to my chest only to find my stack of steak gone.

I slowly turned my head to the child as he let out a small snore.

"That little...no you know what whatever I'll just get some more food. I want some fresh air anyway." I mumbled to myself.

I walked outside and nearly jumped out of my skin when I was face to face with the one and only Dream.

Why is he...

I quickly hid the confusion from my face and closed the door to the house.

If Dream finds Tommy is here everything is ruined.

"Why hello there Dream and what do I owe the pleasure of having you here?" I sarcastically told him.

"You invited me here this morning because Tubbo was here. Didn't you."

Straight to the point I see.

I smirked "Wow you're so smart Dream."

"Why."

I chuckled "Why? Well first off I don't like the kid. He's a president if you don't remember and I hate anyone and anything that is even remotely related to government. Second off he's an orphan. Plus I knew you'd punish him for disobeying your orders of seeing Tommy in exile and well" I couldn't help but smile "I like seeing people punished." I sighed. Let's see if I can push his buttons a bit. I leaned against the door of my house and crossed my arms.

"So I overheard you talking to Tubbo and really? Going so low as to making him choose between Lmanburg and his best friend? Not to even mention this is the second time? Tell me, did you expect he'd choose Tommy?"

I could practically see him shaking in anger.

I stifled a laugh "Hm guessing that's a no."

I patiently stood there and narrowed my eyes.

Out of nowhere, he spoke.

"Tell me something Techno. Do you really not know where Tommy is?" He said in a somewhat indifferent tone.

A shiver went up my spine. The way he changes his whole demeanor is unnerving.

"Oh Dream how many times do I have to tell you? I don't know where he is so if you could please stop pestering me it would be greatly appreciated. Now, good bye homeless man."

Just as I went to turn he spoke.

"You know what's strange? About this whole situation of course, is that Tubbo kept insisting that you were lying to me. Now I thought to myself why would he say that?"

I scoffed.

"To save his own skin. Wether you believe it or not even though he is president he's also a kid. Kids tend to be selfish. They care more about their well being than others."

"Hm you see I would believe that if it wasn't for the fact that he choose Tommy over his own freedom. I'm only going to ask you one more time Techno and you better answer carefully for future purposes. Do you know where Tommy is?"

I smiled "Nope."

"I see" he turned

I silently let out a sigh of relief.

"Just so you know Techno, if I find out that you've been lying to me Phill won't be very happy."

I froze. Something inside me snapped.

"Was that a threat Dream?" I spit out.

He laughed and tuned around slightly lifting his mask up exposing his mouth and sharp jaw line.

He smirked and my blood boiled.

"I don't know Techno. Was it?"

He immediately pulled his mask back down and went off into the night.

I stood there processing everything that just happened and pulled my hands into fists.

"Oh you just wait Dream. You'll regret ever threatening him."

I heaved out a stressful breath relaxing myself back down.

"But all in due time. For now," I walked back into the house and stared once more at the sleeping child in front of me "I've got other things to focus on."

"Grrrrr"

.....

"Like getting food to eat."
