Traitor // dream smp fanfic

The night before.. // ~1

One thing that has always been able to calm me is when you first light a campfire. To me, the atmosphere feels less tense with your fingers warming up and a light crackling in your ears. No matter the situation, being in the caves of Pogtopia and sitting by the fire is the key to feeling content.

That was, until today.

"Y/n?" Wilbur said, coming to sit on the log by me. "You okay?"

I looked up and grinned at him. "Yeah,"

No.

"how are you?"

Wilbur threw a stick on the fire. "I'm doing good!"

"That's good.. you're not feeling nervous or anything about the war tomorrow?" I asked, fiddling with my hoodie strings.

"If I'm being honest, we're very unprepared. I don't know how we're gonna pull this off, especially with how powerful- TOMMY!"

I turned to see Tommy chasing Tubbo down the stairs with two bones in hand, Techno blissfully unbothered behind them.

"What are you-" I began,

"Just practising war shit for tomorrow you guys don't worry!" Tommy called, following Tubbo round and round the campfire. 

Will burst out laughing and so did I, something about Tommy always brightened the mood. 

"At least one of us is kind of prepared-" Fundy laughed appearing from around the corner.

"Yeah.." Will replied, nudging Techno slightly who came at sat next to him. "Tubbo go tell everyone to come sit down here too." he smiled.

One by one, the members of Pogtopia came and sat by the spark of the fire. My friends.. this was possibly the last time we'd all be together happy and laughing.

"So how are we all feeling about tomorrow? I feel like we need a plan- all we have is some good armour, diamond swords and Tommy's fucking bones." Will stated, laughing slightly.

"Who says we need a plan? I reckon we could fuck 'em up without one." argued Tommy.

"Tommy we aren't that powerful-"

"Yes we are."

"No we are not."

"Yes. We. Are."

"No. We're. Not-"

"I'm just gonna step in and say I have the resources we need to win, I've been working for about a month to get everything." Techno said.

It didn't surprise me that he had been grinding for ages, neither did it anyone else. It was most certainly a Techno thing to do.

"Surely we need some form of plan though?" Wilbur questioned, looking at me for ideas.

"We don't know what Dream has in mind yet," I began, "he's a lot more powerful than us and probably has some form of trick up his sleeve. 

"Not to mention one of us is a traitor.." Eret mentioned, scratching the back of his neck.

It's you, you're the traitor.

"Yeah. If whoever is gonna betray us could just raise their hand-" said Fundy, causing a small laugh to echo through the cave walls.

After about another 30 minutes of disagreements, we eventually came to the conclusion that we would just have to see what Dream SMP had planned before making our own plan of action, especially as we could outnumber them all anyway. 

"Tommy not to be rude or anything but isn't it getting near your bedtime? It's getting dark outside." Quackity giggled, receiving a slap on the arm from a pissed off child.

"It's only eight you dickhead."

"We're all gonna need a lot of shut-eye for tomorrow Tommy, may as well go to bed early." Niki smiled, "I can make some hot cocoa if you like."

"I love hot cocoa!!" Tubbo said excitedly.

I jumped up. "I can help with that!" I grinned back at them both. 

"Yay! That sounds like a good plan!" he said, grabbing Tommy's arm and dragging him to their bunk bed.

"But Tubbo it's only eight o' clockkkk!" he whined.

Their voices slowly faded as they walked out the room, but Tommy's groans could still be heard through the wall. I shook my head to myself and smiled as I headed to get some cocoa beans from the farm.

15 minutes later, I was sat in my bed with a warm mug in my hands. I really didn't know how to feel, especially as there was a traitor in our midst. This was the last night before everything went downhill..

the night before the betrayal.
