A Second Chance

Chapter 7: Day with Mr. Blade [Edited]

The anarchist took the job of watching the child, mostly because he didn't trust Tommy with a kid and well Wilbur- he just didn't like that idea.

She was a lot more silent then her previous actions. Techno wasn't bothered by it much, considering she reminded him of Tommy when he was first adopted by Philza.

Even though he to was adopted by Philza, he never felt that "father figure" vibe from him. He saw Phil as a friend- best friend.

Tommy was like a nephew. A very annoying and dumb nephew.

The voices kept repeating two simple words.

Protect her.

They said that and a softer sounding E noise.

Now yes, Techno is one to kill orphans- but she isn't an orphan. She's.....she's a child that he doesn't find annoying because she actually seems more mature considering her young age. So he didn't mind her much.

"Mr. Blade, I'm hungry" her voice was scratchy and low from her crying and screaming. He almost felt bad for the child- he did actually but wouldn't admit it.

He lifted the small girl up on to his hip and walked over to his chest of potatoes and placed one into the furnace.

She played with his hair- much to his distaste- and braided it terribly. He allowed her, only because it seemed to distract her from what was happening.

"Mr. Blade will I ever see papa again?" She had her arms wrapped around his neck, her head on his shoulder as she watched the potato bake in the furnace.

The man gave a grunt, "haven't the clue- Wilbur is....unpredictable"

She didn't know what that word meant.

"Okay let go of me so I can put you down. The potato is gonna burn-" the piglins voice rose up as if he was getting embarrassed.

Perhaps it was because he started to grow fond of the child. She some how made the voices calm down a bit- though no one knew of the voices.

The now baked potato was taken out of the furnace and was cooling off. Once cooled she began to eat it, getting pieces of potato all over her face and shirt.

He realized she was still in sleep wear. The ones she was kidnapped in.

There probably wasn't any clothes for her to wear.

Perhaps something of his or someone else's could fit her until they decide what's to happen to the girl.

Hopefully she can go back home soon. Even though it's only been two days- this is taken a toll on her.

"Thank you Mr. Blade for the potato.." she whispered then yawned.

"Just call me Techno- I don't even know your name.." his voice stuttered at the awkwardness.

Why the fuck is he getting awkward with a....what? 6 year old? Goodness that's depressing.

"Alia....papa named me Alia...I miss papa- and uncle!" She mumbled while playing with her fingers.

Techno led her to his small room and pulled out a random shirt and some rope along with shorts.

He gave them to her and mumbled a quick "change into this" before walking out and closing the door.

After a few minutes of waiting Alia mumbled "done"

He walked in and saw her holding the shorts up while the shirt almost fell to her knees.

Techno grabbed the rope and wrapped it around the shorts and shirt to keep them up and out of her way of walking. He then grabbed her old sleeping wear and placed them in a basket.

He'll clean them later and then she can change into them again.

Where was she going to sleep? Wilbur had just left her on the cold floor of the cave when he kidnapped her and brought her here.

He supposed she could sleep in his bed, considering he didn't sleep anyways.

Techno didn't even realize she had already climbed into his bed and fallen asleep, when he did he chuckled and walked out.

She was strong to go through all this and not cry as much, sure she did in the beginning but now she's calm. Hopefully this won't last long and she can go back to living with Schlatt. He'd hate for this kid to have to deal with the bipolar Wilbur and annoying Tommy.

Though if Tubbo was staying with them now then it might not be that bad. Tubbo will probably make sure she's alright if he couldn't watch her. He's probably have him watch her now that he thinks about it.

That would work.

For now he's going to farm potatoes while the voices argued about killing and farming.
