Let the Pain Wash Away

Part 4

" Hey what's wrong? Your breath was getting a little to-" The green man sat up. " I'm fine Tubbo, just a nightmare." Clay looked down. " I'll be alright so don't worry." The bee lover had a look of worry still on his face, Dream's lie was not fooling him but he let it go. He decided to ask the question he was supposed to ask. " Why does Tommy know of the past?  Was the egg part of it?" Dream looked up. " Tommy doesn't know of the past, he wants to know of the past. Also the egg didn't have anything to do with your past, with my past on the other hand... " Tubbo looked down. He knew Dream was much older than other people on the SMP. ' He told me he was part of a small village before coming to this land and meeting George. " What happened then? You never told dad, mom, or me when you came back home." Dream smiled, lifted up his hand, and ruffled Tubbo's hair. " Why not." Tubbo had a grin grow on his face. Dream never liked to talk about the past so this was exciting. He sat down in the chair next to the green man's bed.

" I moved to a small village where I shared a home with a blind man named..., well. He was a catboy. He was extremely nice and had a friend who's name was Robin, he was so adorable. When I got there ,I changed my name to Cornelius and became good friends with a lot of them. There was only 9 people part of this village though , so when murder broke out..." The bee lover , who was listening intently, suddenly frowned. He didn't know that this happened, his brother could've died before meeting his friends. " I was... killed, that's when I lost my first life and when I found out about my lives. Sadly the people in the village weren't as lucky as me." ' Why the hell did he not know this!' Tubbo had these thoughts as his brother went on. " After I died the villagers held a trial. They put suspicion on my friend as he was in the house that night, what they didn't know was that Catboy was blind and not the murderer. He was executed though that morning. Robin was executed the day after because he was an orphan and apparently that's suspicious. That night Helga, the town's whore, was killed and everyone else left in fear of death. The murderers turned out there were two of them, and because of this they killed off the rest easily before heading to the next town. That is why the old town was dubbed: ' The Town that went Mad!' No one built near the land saying that the town is still haunted by the ghosts of the village."

Dream finished off the story and looked towards his brother, There sat Tubbo looking at Dream like he was the last string holding him on from breaking down. " Hey Tubbo, don't worry everything is alright! That was all in the past and I got through it. I'm still alive, nothing has changed." Dream hugged Tubbo, knowing that soon his brother would wake up from his daze and ask him millions of questions. " Why didn't you-" Dream shushed him, he couldn't answer his brother. Not now at least during this time. " How about we head to mom's?" It seemed innocent and Tubbo was about to agree until he remembered he sent Tommy there. " Can't Tommy is there asking questions." Dream smiled. " That's fine. We'll just head there for her food and conversation then leave. Alright?" Tubbo nodded before standing up, taking Dream with him. They walked out of the home and headed for Puffy's house.

Tommy knocked on Puffy's door. " Hey Puffy I need to ask you something!" Puffy opened up her door, what did Tommy need from her? " What's up Tommy, what do you need?" Tommy barged into the house. " Dream said some stuff about Tubbo and his past and then I tried to ask Tubs about it and he said to ask you about it so... that's why I'm here." Tommy huffed out to Puffy. She was a bit shocked but she felt she somehow knew that this would come out to Tommy someday. Captain Puffy sighed. " Come sit down then." This would be a long day, she could feel it.
