Never Meant to Be

P. 9

Tommy

Honestly, we didn't really know what to do.

Dream wasn't even in L'manburg, god knows what he's doing. Probably hiring some goons to help him. But it didn't matter. No one could stop us, maybe physically, but our bond in the group is unbreakable. We can get through this together, I can almost literally feel it in my bones.

We started to head up from the sewers. We were all giving off a disgusting odor, but personally I couldn't care less. I was with Tubbo again, and not only that but we're going to get L'manburg back. Tubbo doesn't have to be president anymore, and, well, we can live off on our own.

A smile formed on my face thinking of what our life could be like. The laughter, the bonding, it touches my heart like nothing else.

Eventually, we reached the mouth of the sewers. Light shone down from a steep hole with a path of water to swim up. One at a time, we each swam up and met together at the top.

"So where exactly are we going?" Fundy asked. I could tell that none of us knew. We all shrugged our shoulders as a response.

"I guess we should go find Dream, that's probably the best play right now," Tubbo replied. 

"Yeah," we all agreed.

Techno had to loan Big Q and Fundy some of his things because they didn't have much except for some food and some blocks. I guess that's what life in the sewers is like.

We were heading towards the direction of Mexican L'manburg; a towering land mass of dirt that caused lots of mobs to spawn underneath. It wasn't quite done yet from what I could tell, it looked a little bit off from what I could tell.

A thump was heard behind us and in unison, we all swung our heads around. It was Dream.

The six of us took a step back as Dream adjusted his spot on the ground.

"So I heard you were planning to take L'manburg from us. That's not happening," Big Q says. Somehow, under Dream's mask, I see him smirk.

"Are you sure about that?" Dream asked.

As if they were on cue, Punz, George, and Sapnap jumped down from the edge of Mexican L'manburg. They looked up at us with an evil look on their faces.

Personally, I was taken aback. Just by a little, though. 

Dream reaches into his pockets to reveal sticks of red. A familiar rush of anxiety swoops over me as I jump backwards and start to sprint. This time, however, there wasn't a big explosion. I couldn't see anything though. A huge thick layer of gray cloud surrounded us all, making it hard to breathe. I felt like I was going to throw up from the horrid odor. My ears might've mistaken a few sounds, but I think I heard screaming. Without warning, I felt someone's cold hand grab onto my wrist.

"Get away from me!" I shrieked at the top of my lungs. 

"Is that you Tommy? Come back here!" I heard Tubbo's voice say. 

"Tubbo?" 

Another hand grabbed at my wrist the second time and I walked along with it. But it was slightly warmer than the other, and it felt like the hand was very big compared to Tubbos.

Before I had time to react, I felt my body get pulled in and a cloth covered my mouth. I tried screaming through it, but no matter how much effort I put behind it, my energy seemed to be drained and drained, until my eyes closed, and my mind went unconscious.
