The Raven and The Wolf [discontinued]

Already Dead

"It ends here Tommy, " Eret spoke.

The chase had taken itself to the nether.

Tommy narrowed his eyes.

He stepped back, he was cornered, behind him was a nether cliff with a lava lake at the bottom of it, in front of him stood Eret and Tubbo.

Tommy looked back and forth seemingly trying to figure out what to do.

Eret raised their sword and pointed it at Tommy.

Tubbo remained silent.

"Hands behind your head Tommy, I don't want to hurt you, " Eret said, they regretted the threatening tone of their voice.

"Fine, " Tommy scowled.

He raised his hand up putting them behind his head.

Although a small smirk made it evident that he had a plan.

He swiftly pulled a small glass bottle out.

Eret darted forward, they weren't able to stop him before he broke the bottle onto his arm.

The glass shards cut at Tommy's arm, but Eret quickly recognized the liquid the bottle contained to be fire resistance.

Tommy snickered.

He stepped backward, and with a small salute and smile, he stepped off the cliff's edge.

"Dammit!" Eret ran over to the cliff's edge.

Tubbo stood completely still, eyes wide in shock.

"Come on we can still cut him off-" Eret darted forward but stopped when they heard soft sniffles.

They turned around, they met Tubbo's tearful eyes.

"I can't do it Eret, I can't-"

Eret felt horrible for the grieving boy.

They walked over and embraced Tubbo, "it's okay, everything is going to be okay."

Tubbo clutched the back of Eret's shirt.

"Come on, we should go home."

"Let's not be hasty now."

Wilbur watched Ranboo, his eyes narrowed and a small smile on his face.

Ranboo struggled to move, he kneeled on the ground breathing heavily and staring at the door.

Wilbur walked in circles around him.

Ranboo shook, he toiled to stay even kneeling.

Although it didn't last long as he collapsed, he laid on his side, barely maintaining consciousness.

Wilbur smirked, he kneeled down and met Ranboo's gaze.

"Now tell me... Ranboo-" Wilbur spoke in a cold tone, "How long can we play this game before you're out cold, and I'm not the only one here."

"What are you implying?" Ranboo managed to say with a great deal of effort.

"Come on now, I mean, Tubbo he's probably dead by now, who knows what's gonna happen to Eret. And I'm not the only one who would go out of his way to pay you a visit, now am I?" Wilbur taunted.

  Everything Wilbur had said scared Ranboo horribly, the thought of Tubbo or Eret dying brought a sick feeling to his stomach. Not to mention Ranboo almost knew for sure the person he was talking about was Dream.

  Ranboo's hands shook, he fought with himself trying to stay awake.

  "Face it, you're completely alone-"

  "You're forgetting about someone, " a voice sneered.

  Wilbur snapped his head to the side, he looked to be in complete shock as he met his son's gaze.

  Ranboo looked at Fundy as if he was an angel that had just saved his life, which to honest excluding the angel part wasn't far from the truth.

  "Fundy?" Wilbur spoke much different than he did when he was taunting Ranboo.

  Fundy narrowed his eyes.

  He threw his father against the wall pointing the tip of his sword at the former president's neck.

  Fundy laughed slightly, "Well it's safe to say I believe you about not being a traitor now, " he joked.

"What the hell?" Eret stood at the doorway.

Tubbo stood beside them, his eyes darting between Ranboo and Wilbur.

  Ranboo had never been so happy to see Tubbo.

  He went to get up but a sharp pain reminded him that he wouldn't be able to do that on his own.

  Eret quickly noticed this and ran over helping Ranboo to his feet.

  "Okay okay, someone needs to explain!" Tubbo exclaimed.

  "So you're alive, " Wilbur snickered.

  "Shut the hell up, " Fundy sneered pushing his sword closer to his father's neck.

  Wilbur leaned his head back as to avoid contact with the blade but a taunting smile still on his face.

  "Well before we get an explanation we should probably figure out what to do with pyromaniac over there, " Eret motioned toward Wilbur. They supported Ranboo's weight keeping him standing.

  "Rude, " Wilbur commented.

  "I would be glad to kill him right here, right now, " Fundy growled.

  "Wait- he might be useful in some way, " Tubbo said, "if they have plans he could tell us with the right amount of... convincing."

  Wilbur looked between Tubbo and Eret before eventually fixating his eyes onto Ranboo.

  The smile had faded from Will's face leaving a cold stare.

  Fundy scoffed.

  He pulled his sword away from Wilbur's neck, quickly grabbing the neck of Will's jacket the throwing him to the ground.

  Wilbur got to his knees, wiping the blood from his now bleeding nose.

  Ranboo looked at Eret, "I can stand on my own, " he said.

  "Are you sure?"

  Ranboo nodded, Eret slowly took his arm out from under Ranoo's shoulders.

  Ranboo leaned against the wall for support.

  "Ranboo do you have any rope?" Tubbo asked.

  Ranboo chuckled lightly, "why would I just have rope laying around?"

  "Oh come on, is that really necessary?" Wilbur complained.

  "I'll go get some, " Fundy said pushing past Eret and walking outside, shutting the door tightly behind him.

  Ranboo knew that it was just an excuse to get away from his father.

  Wilbur was once again looking between Tubbo and Eret. He looked at Eret as if searching for answers in their not visible eyes.

  Eret seemed to be slightly concerned about the look they were receiving.

  Wilbur smiled.

  "Well guess I'll be getting to know you better aren't I? Now that I'm gonna be stuck here." he said in a statement that was clearly directed to Ranboo.

  "I want nothing to do with you, " Ranboo said.

  "Okay, now is the time you explain why crazy over here was in your house, and you half unconscious, " Tubbo declared.

  "Right."
