A Forgetful Fate - Ranboo - Dream SMP Based

Chapter 5 - Tommy's Compass

*Cough Cough*

"Phil..?"

Techno looked back, seeing Phil sat up on the bed. Phil looked horrified at what he was seeing, Ranboo still bleeding as Techno was trying to stop it. Philza limped over to them, taking his robe off and tying it around Ranboo's stomach.

"I thought I taught you how to do this." Phil tightened the robe.

"I'm sorry, I freaked out."

"No, it's fine. Niki was here, right?"

"How'd you know?"

"Well you wouldn't know to apply pressure to a wound, would you?"

"Put him over there, won't you?"

Phil pointed to the bed by the fire place.

Techno carefully lifted the boy, and placed him on the bed. Phil started cleaning the blood off the floor where Ranboo had been, and Niki came back with towels to see Phil had awaken.

"Phil..?"

"Yeah yeah, I'm alive. Hand me the towels."

He carried them over to Ranboo and made a neater makeshift "bandage".

"He should be fine, just watch out for infection." Phil turned around to look at Techno, "How'd this happen anyway..?"

"I think we need an explanation," Niki said.

Techno sighed and sat down at the table.

"The kid was crying so I woke him up, told him I needed sleep to but he started acting all weird," he paused, "then he grabbed my sword and.. Uh.. Tried to kill Phil, but he missed and the sword ended up in his stomach."

Phil looked down at his shirt seeing where the blade would have hit him if Ranboo didn't miss.

"He just, tried to kill me?"

"Not quite.. He said he was being controlled by something, I have no idea and I didn't think to ask him before he blacked out again."

"Dream," Niki added, "he was being controlled by Dream."

"Dream? The kid doesn't even talk to Dream. I know he has history of manipulating the kids around here but I've never seen him with Dream."

"Well, who else has the power to control people?" Philza questioned.

"Nobody."

They looked at Ranboo as he fell off the bed.

"Ah shit. Hold on," Techno sighed again.

He picked up Ranboo and put him on the bed, and covered him up again.

Suddenly a tug on his cape forced him to turn around.

There stood Dream, holding Ranboo, as he saluted and teleported away.

"Fuck. Where'd he go.?"

Phil threw on his robe but Techno stopped him.

"You literally almost died, you need to stay here."

"That kid is like my own, I can't let you go out there and have 2 of you missing."

"I'll come with, to make sure Phil is okay," Niki said as she also threw on a winter coat, "is that good enough?"

"Fine. Let's go," Techno pulled his cape on and led them out the door.

"Where could he be?"

"I suggest we look by Dream's base in the mountains. Pretty sure Tommy has a compass to there," Philza responded.

"Best if we did," Niki mumbled, "we'll have to go find Tommy."

"Mkay."

They both walked behind Techno, Phil started to hum a song and Niki was just looking at the buildings.

Finally they were in front of Tommy's "house", and they knocked on the door.

"What the fuck do you want? I'm trying to sleep here bitch," Tommy swore at them for waking him up, but at the same time he seemed sleepy and just in a bad mood.

"We need your compass to Dream's place," Niki added.

"Fine, I'll give it to you but leave after," he threw the compass at them and slammed the door in their faces.

"Okay, now we go this way."

Time skip, and change of place. 30 minutes later, at Dream's place. 

"Wake up."

"Oh Dream shush, you almost killed the kid."

"Huh..? Where am I?! Dream? George..?" Ranboo questioned, "Why am I here? I-"

"Shush, we can't have you with my enemies. They know too much."

"Enemies? Wait.. Where was I before I even came here?"

"No where, we found you outside because they kicked you out."

"But Dream--" George whispered.

"Shut up, don't tell him the truth. We'll take his memory as our advantage."

Ranboo tried to sit up but couldn't because he was bleeding again, but the tourniquet hid the blood too well so neither Dream or George noticed.

"Please, take me back," Ranboo said, clutching his side.

"We can't, they abandoned you on the streets."

"Dream, why's he grabbing his side..?" George whispered.

"It's nothing. Phil already stopped the bleeding, he's just being a baby about it."

Ranboo was sitting there, still holding his side as Dream and George talked.

He took out his journal and started writing, until he hid it behind him and George and Dream took him somewhere else.

The 3, Philza, Techno and Niki bursted through the door and looked around, Niki being the first to find Ranboo's memory book.

They're taking me somewhere. I don't remember where I was before but I won't listen to Dream. I'm bleeding again, and they don't know it. Please.. I'm only 17, I'm.. I'm too young to die like this.

-Ranboo

"Guys..? Ranboo's been here." She held up the book so the two could read it and they rushed out the other door.

"RANBOO!"
