Is This Real?

Chapter 26

Karl POV:

"Hello there Karl" Wilbur says with a mischievous smirk

"What are you doing here at this time of night?" Wilbur questions while slowly walking closer to Karl

"I um, I-I was looking around." Karl says with a shaky breath while backing away from Wilbur but soon hitting a tree.

Wilbur gets close to Karl and whispers in his ear, "Don't come back. Don't come see Quackity, and he won't be coming to see you anytime soon." Wilbur finished and pulled away from a very frightened Karl.

"Wilbur please." Karl begged but Wilbur didn't listen and started to walk away.

"W-wait, please I have valuable information." Karl blurts out which stops Wilbur in his tracks.

"Like what?" Wilbur asks, not turning around to face Karl.

"Bad and Ant. They're the traitors. They are working with dream" Karl says.

Wilbur turns around to look at Karl in the eye, "Are you sure." He asks and Karl nods.

"Stay here." Wilbur says then leaves towards the forest, leaving Karl alone in the night.

Something in Karl felt as though he was betraying his own side. Even if he didn't want to be with the Manburg men he felt as though what he was doing was wrong.

Karl sighed and sat on the floor and waited for Wilbur or anyone to come to him.

Almost an hour had gone by and that's when Karl started getting ready to just go back home, but the sound of crunching leaves stopped him.

"Karl," he heard in a hushed tone.

"Karl." He heard a little louder.

"hello!" Karl screamed trying to help the voice find him, which worked and soon a short man in a blue shirt appeared in front of Karl's eyes.

"Quackity!" Karl said excitedly while running up to him and giving him a hug.

"Karl!" Quackity said back, Squeezing Karl back tightly.

They hugged for a while, and when they finally pulled away, they just stared at each other.

Karl and Quackity stood there, mid hug staring at each other.

Karl looked quickly at Quackity's lips and back up to his eyes, although it was long ago, Karl could still remember what Quackity's lips felt like.

Quackity slowly started to get closer to Karl's face and when their lips were about to touch a sound came from the forest surrounding them.

They both broke out of their trance and looked for who was out there.

"Hey, Quackity, I-," Sam started to see but stopped when he saw him and Karl standing in a defensive stance.

"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to frighten anyone." Sam said with a small smile, "It's nice to see you again Karl." Sam said while walking up to Karl and patting his back.

"You too Sam." Karl replied with a smile as well.

Him and Sam talked for a minute, and Karl was trying to keep his mind off of Quackity.

Karl kept thinking about how they would've kissed if Sam hadn't shown up, but were either of them ready for that?

Karl looked at Quackity who had been staring at him for what seemed like a while now. Karl smiled to try to break any tension, if there was any.

"So Karl, why'd you come here?" Sam asked, breaking Karl out yet another trance.

"Oh I..." Karl thought "I came here to tell Quackity something but ran into Wilbur." Karl said which caught Quackity's attention.
