The Ghosts That Live In the Attic

The Wind Needs to Quiet Down {Chapter 10}

Philza Minecraft 

~~~~~~~~~~

Phil had no Idea how long they have been dead, but shown through how old his family seemed now, he could guess its been a few decades. He was upset about the fact he was dead, he wanted to live a long life with Wilbur and Techno. I guess he technically got what he wanted, To bad they couldn't go see their loved ones anymore. Being grounded to his home had its advantages. Well, not really. It's basically all disadvantages. 

He had always been quite social. He enjoyed talking to new people and sharing his wisdom with people of similar interest. He was actually quite excited when Tommy and Tubbo had moved in for the summer, after they could talk with him that is. And his need to speak about his oppressions only grew when Tubbo mentioned wanting to fix up the flower garden.

He ended up showing him how to tend to a garden for about 2 hours. Hey, neither were complaining!

~~~~~~~~~~

Philza Spent alot of time with the boys. He had greatly enjoyed their company. It was just about a week away when they had told the ghosts that they would be packing to leave soon. Phil was rather sad by the news, all of the ghosts were. Mrs. Innit had long since returned from her emergency call-in, but since they boys had done well without her, she told them they could stay for the rest of the summer. She must have been happy to have the summer to herself.

Phil had decided that before they left, they would have one more movie night together, and worked to get his sons and the living room ready. They ended up having to do it earlier in the last week, since neither really knew what day they were going to leave. And he was the happiest man alive when they sat together for the movie. Key word being 'was.'

~~~~~~~~~~

Even though ghosts don't really need sleep, he did end up sleeping in the attic with his sons. Sleeping was more for show and sense of being alive, must be why they did it so much. Ever since he had died he had become a very light sleeper, especially during the night. Since he trusted his sons to watch Tommy and Tubbo, he slept in the early morning to noon. He could watch over them at night for anything. To bad he wasn't awake tonight.

Well, he was now.

~~~(!CW!) Fire and death ~~~

He woke with a start. When he breathed in his mouth filled with ash. He pondered how the ashy air was almost spicy since they couldn't die from it. He was quickly out of his half-awake phase when he realized what he had pondered.

Ashy air.

Ash.

"Shit"

He was up with a start as he quickly grabbed Wil, who was also a light sleeper. There was no way in hell they would be able to get Techno up unless he could smell the ash. He shook him awake and before either could say anything Wilbur had froze. 

He realized it too.

Both went to different children, Wilbur went to Tubbo and Phil had took charge of Tommy. And of course its the same as last time. The stairway was filled with smoke as fire licked the first few steps. He was going to get both of them out of there. He wasn't about to let them fall victim as well.

Tommy was in Phil's room, and nervous he was. He was trying to open the window, but of course. The builders had glued them shut. Now he couldn't leave. Tommy whipped around. He must of saw him from the corner of his eye. He looked much happier now that he had someone with him.

Thats when Phil realized how hard this was going to be. Tommy can't hear what he says, already making this way more difficult. But Phil knew damn well that wasn't going to stop him. So he motioned for Tommy to go near the door, so they could open it. Easy. His door was opened. But that was alot of smoke he had just been blasted with.

He had grabbed Tommy's wrist to show him to the ground and make their way to Tubbo's room. 

God this is where it all went down hill.

He quickly signed a stay, and phased through the door. Oh. Thats an issue.

Tubbo was cornered. Fire had almost completely taken over half of his room. The door was close to the flames though. So he basically couldn't leave. The handle was metal. It would burn off his skin. And the door had always been a little to big. Even after the remodel. Great.

Thats when the idea hit him.

"Tubbo!" Tubbo stared in his direction. "I need you to tell Tommy exactly what I'm telling you, he is on the other side of the door."

And so the information was relayed, albeit with some coughing and exhausted yelling. Tommy as quickly as he could made his way back to Phil's room. And just as he said. An Axe.

This can only go poorly.

He grabbed it with flimsy hands. and quickly made his way into the hallway. The fire was completely  overtaken by fire, the heat was insane. The pulldown to the stairs was also on fire. and the wall behind it. Great he was trapped in the hallway.

So the final steps of the plan were set in motion. He swung the axe hard. And just as the wanted, the wood splintered from the heat and the wacking of the axe. He could finally grab Tubbo. Then what. The windows were glued, and those walls had all been consumed by the flames. they were trapped. So he pulled Tubbo into the hallway and away from the burning heat of Wilbur's room.

Phil was unbelievably heart broken. Techno had come done and helped Tommy somewhere in the commotion. Wil just looked depressed. They knew even if they had made it out alive, they would die from the amount of smoke they had inhaled, especially Tubbo. He wanted to heal them so badly. But he could tell that neither could hold themselves up for much longer. No energy, no healing. So instead, they all gathered around them. The two dyeing kids. Techno had sat by Tommy protecting his side while Phil did Tubbo's. Wilbur had started singing. Wow. 

Sirens. Of course.

They always came late.

Tommy and Tubbo had survived 10 minutes and 7 seconds.

Of course those little shits would beat his time.
