Parakeets

[22]

George began to stir, he moved to wipe his eyes but soon realised his hands were retrained by the sound of chains hitting against a wall.

His arms and legs ached whilst a headache ran through his head, he opened his eyes.

The room was grey, it smelt damp.

"Hello" he called out, his voice was raspy and he was thirsty.

no answer

he pulled on the chains more, he was shirtless, only in his boxers.

His wings were sprung out, most likely due to the stress he was under, he tried to flap them to get out but it was helpless the movement only caused painful strain on his arms and legs.

He heard the door unlock and looked up, a pink haired man walked in.

"You're awake" He smirked
George nodded
The man walked over to him, holding a bottle of water
"water?"
george desperately nodded, the man lifted georges chin and titled his head back giving him some water as george swallowed as quickly as he could feeling slightly relived at the hydration

The man took the bottle away and threw it to the floor, "do you know who i am?" he asked as he pulled a tray over, various sharp objects scattered across it

"no"
"they call me technoblade"
"what do you want with me- where is karl and sapnap"
"they're fine" he hummed as he sharpened a knife
"Why am i here?" George looked around the room, every wall looked the same.

"George youre seen as the most powerful being to walk this earth"
"so? i barely use my abilities anyway" george rolled his eyes, this earned a punch to the gut causing him to grunt
"George, regardless. You're a threat. people see you as more powerful than me, i cant have that"
"just let me go you psycho"
"You aren't helping yourself george"
"hm"

Technos eyes trailed down to georges thigh, the messy cuts with clays name had began healing yet still scabbed slightly "i see he's claimed you, i'm sure he won't be happy to find you after i'm finished"
"he'll fucking kill you" george spat
"he won't, he's weak george"

Technoblade made his way to behind george, george desperately tried to turn and see what techno was doing

He felt a sharp stabbing pain down his back, he let out a small cry.

"First i'll get rid of these" Techno took an axe and began hacking away at georges wings as george let out shrieks and cries of pain, he didn't feel pain normally so this must have been excruciating enough for him to feel, george kept falling in and out of consciousness as his back oozed blood. "clay" he mumbled seeing a figure like dreams infront of him before it quickly disappeared.

"schlatt- wheres george?" dream looked up noticing his boyfriend wasn't in sight

schlatt shrugged, "he went on a walk"
"and you LET him knowing somebody is going around murdering us all?"
"i dunno man! i didn't think"
"you're a fucking idiot" Dream grunted

Tubbo shook his head at his father and followed dream.

Dream took out a map he'd found in spifeys jeans, a cave was marked, it was only a few miles off.

"you three wait here, i'll be back soon i promise" he smiled
"dream you can't go alone-" ranboo pleaded
"please, just stop those two from fighting" dream gestured to tubbo and schlatt who were already bickering
"okay, just be safe"
"i will, i promise" and with that dream sped off, before long he had made it to the cave.

He observed, nobody was outside, he snuck through holding his breath careful not to make a sound.

He heard laughter, he turned a corner and noticed punz stood with foolish laughing.

Dream took his knife spinning it in his hand, they weren't expecting it, this would be easy.

He sped over impaling each of them through the heart in the blink of an eye.

they both fell, he patted over their bodies eventually feeling some keys.

He ran over to a cell, looking in he saw alex, sapnap and karl all cuddled in the corner, he shifted the key into the lock and pulled the door open, sapnap jumped up and engulfed dream into a hug

"i have never been so happy to see your stupid face" sapnap beamed holding dream tightly
dream smiled pulled away, he looked about the cell hoping to see george yet he wasn't there

"Clay- what's the matter?" sapnap asked
"George- he's not here-" Dream felt his chest tighten
"We heard him screaming about an hour ago" Alex chimed in

This alerted dream he ran looking through the cave every corner, every room and nothing.

Hannah appeared behind karl, a knife to his throat.
"Back off- all of you!" she yelled, tears began to form in karls eyes, the group looked between eachother terrified

alex however didn't hesitate, he transformed into his wolf form and pounced onto hannah, she stabbed him repeatedly get he continued to fight her before winning, ultimately killing her.

He whimpered as he walked towards karl and sapnap before falling, his eyes looked scared as a cut on his left eye began to bleed profusely.

"Go! find george- we've got him" Sapnap yelled as he and karl held alex

Dream ran, eventually reaching a door, he pushed against it, pounding.

Eventually it fell open, in the center of the room chained by his wrists and ankles was george, his head was dropped as a pool of blood lay beneath him.

Dream ran over, "georgie, baby, wake up" he slapped georges face lightly
"dream" he mumbled pulling his head up before it fell back down
"it's okay, i'm here" Dream began to undo the restraints and georges body fell as dream caught it.

Dream fell down as he held george
"It's okay, i've got you" He hushed running a hand through georges hair

He looked over seeing georges wings on the floor, he added two and two together.

"Clay"
"That's right, it's me, you're okay"
he ran his hand over georges face as tears began to fall down his own, the situation felt all too familiar
"i'm not going to die, am i?"
"i won't let you baby, i promise okay. i promise" dreams voice cracked

"I feel safe now" George mumbled
"Good baby, that's good" Dream kissed georges face repeatedly, george attempted to kiss back but his body was purely too exhausted to do so.

Dream stood picking up george as he began to walk, he was soon followed by sapnap who was carrying alex, who had since changed to his human form whilst karl stood beside them.
