Champion ~ Book 1

Chapter 20

"Knock knock," Dream looked up sleepily as he heard someone say something and heard a knocking on his iron door. Who the hell says 'knock knock?' He thought with an inward snort. The moment he saw that stupid white and red shirt he sighed, already annoyed by the child's presence. 

"What do you want," Dream muttered, sitting up a bit. 

"Wilbur really hates Technoblade now. He told me so," Tommy said. 

"Why should I care what Wilbur thinks?" Dream scoffed.

"He hates you too," Tommy shrugged. "Just not as much,"

"Oh, how wonderful," Dream thought. "I'm so glad he doesn't hate me as much as Technoblade, I don't know what I'd do if Wilbur hated me as much as Technoblade," he said sarcastically. 

"I hate you too," Tommy said. "You're annoying,"

"Look who's talking," Dream muttered. "Unless you want to have another staring contest, please leave," Dream said. 

"I'm just bored," Tommy said. "And you're interesting," 

"You know what would be really interesting?" Dream said. Tommy nodded eagerly. "If you left me alone so I can sleep." Tommy's smile fell and he clenched his fists.

"I just want to be your friend," Tommy growled, staring at Dream angrily. "MrBeast said you and Karl were friends, why can't be your friend?" Because you're annoying as hell. Dream held back the sharp comment and sighed quietly. 

"So when should we start making friendship bracelets?" Dream said sarcastically. "You want me to braid your hair too?" 

"My God," Tommy growled, looking frustrated. "I shouldn't have said anything," He turned to leave and suddenly Dream felt bad for being a bit harsh.

"Hey," He called. Tommy stopped and turned to look at him.

"What," He said. "Have you arranged our tea party yet?" he muttered. Dream didn't say anything for a moment. 

"Stop waking me up, we can start there," Dream said. "Maybe someday we can be friends," he paused. "If Technoblade doesn't kill me first," he added. Tommy looked a little less upset and nodded slightly. 

"Ok," He said. "Sorry," He added, walking away. Dream watched him go and sighed. Now what? He thought. Maybe I can go to the training room. Dream looked around, there wasn't anyone nearby, just a few cells to his left and right and one in front of him. Dream realized he'd never really acknowledged the other prisoners, in fact, he never really noticed them. He looked and saw a man in dark blue and black clothes in the cell in front of him, he had a mask that was half black and half blue with white stained glass covering two eye holes. 

"Hello?" Dream said after a moment. The dark-colored man looked up from where he was leaning against a wall and said nothing. "Who are you?"

"You're the guy who fought Technoblade and survived, aren't you?" The man said. 

"Uh- yes," Dream said.

"You fought him three times," The man added, nodding slightly. "Why aren't you dead?" Dream hesitated.

"Who are you," He asked again, shifting slightly. 

"Indigo," The man said finally. "Now tell me your secret, how are you still alive?" Dream thought for a moment. He still didn't really know why Techno hadn't killed him, he'd had many chances.

"I'm... I'm not really sure," He muttered after a moment.

"Fine," Indigo said. "Keep your secrets,"
