Drowning ||Dreamnotfound||

14.

George's POV:

Me and the boys decided that we were going to leave tomorrow.

It was a very bud thing for us, and we had planned it out exactly. Last night, Wilbur was searching the gates. Karl was the guard at the front, and he was sure that Karl didn't have much experience.

I knew Tommy was excited, but I could also see the fear in his eyes, no matter how much he tried to hide it.

I swim over to him, placing my hand on his back. "Tommy, is there something you wanna talk to me about?" I ask, hoping he'd be open with me. Instead, he moved away, saying that he was fine.

"Tommy.." Wilbur joins in, getting closer to the two of us. We were at his place, actually.

Old guitars that he had made himself were around the walls, they were made from recycled garbage.

"I said i'm fine, both of you! Just let me think." Tommy seemed angry, and both Wilbur and I could tell that he had something to say.

"If this is about Tubbo, we understand." I start. "We're going to find him, alright?" My hand finds it's way back to Tommy's back, rubbing it.

"You can tell us anything, Tommy." Wilbur smiles, putting his hand on Tommy's shoulder, the opposite side from where I am.

Tommy sighs, looking downward. "What if something happens to us? What if Tubbo doesn't believe that i'm alive?" Great. Just what we needed, negativity.

"Tommy, look. We need to be positive, alright? If you think like that, that's exactly what's going to happen. We need to stay positive, alright? I'll make sure nothing happens to you guys." Wilbur smiles.

"What about you?" Tommy asks looking up at Wilbur, and I look as well.

"Don't worry about me, boys. I'll make sure i'm alright." He kept his smile and nodded.

I felt concerned for Wilbur, but that would have to wait for another time if we wanted to talk about it.

"So, should we go over the plan?" I ask, looking at the two boys beside me.

"Yeah, sure." Wilbur nods, and Tommy looks up at me.

Karl's POV:

Oh my, was I excited for just about every night for the rest of my days, now. I got to guard the gates, finally!

What would I do if I saw someone escaping? Do I chase after them, or go fetch help? If I got help, i'm sure Schlatt and Techno would fire me, or even put me in prison in a heartbeat. However, I didn't really want to think of that option.

I decided, maybe I should go and ask? I mean, what's the harm in trying, right?

I made my way to the main 'castle,' per say, and requested for Schlatt. Was I scared? Yes. Was I going to show it? Nope.

With the help from another fellow guard, I was lead to Schlatt's office, where he was currently located.

I knock on the door quietly, being greeted with a loud "Come in."

With that command, I open the door, my mood boosting once I saw the smile on the man's face.

"Karl! Am I glad to see you?" He grins, moving his hand fir me to come over.

"Hello, Sir!" I greet, probably waiting for him to ask the question on why I was there. Surely enough, I get asked.

"What brings you here?" Schlatt asks, leaning back on his wall.

I smile, and nod as if I were about to speak. "Yeah! About that, I was wondering if you'd be alright to answer a question about my duty as a guard? I just want to make sure I have everything right." I speak carefully, making sure I don't bother him with anything.

"Of course, ask away." Schlatt says as if it's a command, and I nod once again.

"So, if I see anyone trying to leave, do I get them myself, or acquire help?" I tilt my head, and the man in front of me seems to have a moment of thought.

"Hmm, good question. I saw, if it's one person, i'd hope you'd be able to get them yourself. If it's a group, and you're not properly trained yet, get help. I wouldn't want you getting injured, would I?" Schlatt chuckles.

I laugh along, hiding the fear inside. "Yeah, yeah, thanks." I smile, starting to go backwards. I give a small bow. "Thanks, Schlatt." I smile, and before I leave, he stops me.

A very dark aura fills the room, and I can feel the fear spilling out of my body.

"Karl." Schlatt speaks, and I stay facing away from him.

"Yes?"

"Make sure that no one gets out. If they escape, Karl," There was a pause.

"You're dead."

I shiver and nod, then take my leave.
