Burn For You

Chapter Ten

Dreams POV

George's house was simple, most houses were. He lived with people but they were out on missions. I sat on a chair in the dinning room with white walls and the circular oak wood table.

George was moving around nervously in the kitchen making tea, he put a cup in front of me and sat down himself sipping his tea as if to calm himself and focus his mind.

I look down to the drink and have some being a bit to quick as it was still hot. But the liquid itself warmed my body.

"I'm sorry" George started shocking me

"What are you sorry for George? You don't owe me a apology" I said blatantly, it may sound harsh but it was true. He should be apologising to sap not me.

"I'm just sorry, I realised after you said something that I've been a real ass to sap" he started

I took another sip still listening as he continued "Even as a healer, I could fight. I used to fight but I stopped" George frowned

"Why did you stop?" I asked sipping the tea

George frowned "it's a bit of a long story"

"We have time" I say

"Okay" he sighs

(Story is in George's POV, so anything in italics)

It starts after the destruction of MCYT, the fire burned brightly that day. We didn't get a chance to mourn those that were lost. We had to keep running, as far as our legs could carry us. those that survived grouped together.

And everyone just kept running, some were caught. Others were killed.

I was running with someone named bad and skeppy, who both are now my housemates.

A hunter caught up to us and we were running as fast as we could, but I had tripped. I tried to get up as fast as I could but the hunter was already behind me.

I could hear bad and skeppy yelling to run to them but I was frozen in fear. I didn't know what to do. I could feel the tears in my eyes. 

But the next thing that happened  was something I never wanted to do, I used my power. I didn't mean to but I was young I couldn't control it and I made all the blood in his body boil.

"I can still hear his screams Dream, we were fucking kids! We shouldn't have to worry about that! We just wanted a normal childhood!" George silently yelled his voice breaking

He took a few deep breaths and continued

We had escaped, those that we would find grouped together and we said a quick prayer for those that lost their lives.

We couldn't get their bodies or go back so we kept moving forward, that's when we found this place and made a home here

We thought it was over, that we had finally escaped that we could live free but that was a mistake.

It was another day when tommy had come back screaming and yelling, tubbo his best friend was in his arms, they had been attacked, the others that were with them were dead.

Tubbo survived but we realised this wouldn't end so we started to gather people, strong people.

We started to go into hiding, coming out to fight. Those that didn't want to fight we found other jobs for them.

I didn't want to fight but my magic could heal people and I wanted to save people, I wanted to save my friends.

That's what I wanted to do.

But Wilbur gave me and some others a simple mission. It was meant to be in and out but something went wrong. We were betrayed by Eret, many died.

I was the only survivor and it was cause I killed the people that tried to get near me. I grew depressed cause I couldn't save my friends. I never wanted to fight the way I had been forced to.

That's when I went on a mission with sapnap, he was strong and completed the mission without me doing anything, it became a routine. I would heal him after

I stopped fighting, I stopped hurting people with a power I couldn't control. I was happier

"But if I continue this way, I'm going to kill sapnap" George grimaced

"What if you learnt to control your power" I commented thinking

"What? Did you not just hear everything I told you?" George frowned at me ready to yell

"I mean you have water as a power and you can make the water in people's body's boil, what if you used it to make them faint instead?" I spoke

"Is that even possible?" George blinked

"No idea but it's worth a try" I stood up

"Fighting is more than killing people, if you don't want to hurt someone but you still want to be on the battlefield and help than all you need to do is find our own way to fight" I smiled behind my mask holding my hand out to a shocked George

"Come on Georgie, let's go find a way for you to fight"

He took my hand and hugged me "thank you dream, no one has ever said that to me. I always thought of it was kill or be killed. But if there's another way I want it" George cried happily

"Then let's get started George!" I laughed

'I will change your mind about everything sapnap just you wait!' I smiled
