Her heart broke. Shattering in a million different pieces and as everything that happened over the last months came together, a single tear escaped her eyes and she broke off her stare with Eret.

When she looked in front of her, she saw Dream himself making her way over to her.

She tightened the grip on her sword and swung forwards, trying to maintain the distance between Dream and Tubbo and her.

Eris could hear angry shouts from beside her but they all blurred together as she only focused on keeping the defenceless teen behind her safe.

The masked man blocked Eris' hits seemingly with ease as he slowly approached, their axe and sword clashing with a metal cling.

The young brunette swung her sword at Dream one more time, but he caught her blow with his shining axe, the two weapons now pressed against each other in a struggle for power. Time seemed to slow a bit as they stood there in front of each other. The lonely tear on her cheek slithered its way down as she stared at the two black dots, refusing to break eye contact.

Then the single tear finally fell down her chin, onto the ground, and Dream pushed forwards once more, taking Eris by surprised and making her stance falter.

Subconsciously she stepped backwards, the distance between her and Tubbo now almost non-existent, as the younger teen looked terrified, leaning against the wall helplessly.

Eris made for one final blow, swinging her sword forward with all her might to push the masked man away from her, and surprisingly she succeeded. He tumbled backwards slightly and the small victory gave Eris another kick of energy and she pushed forward, skilfully swinging her sword at her attacker to create more distance between her and Tubbo.

"Eris!" A voice screamed from behind and Eris whipped her head around, almost dropping her sword onto the ground. Sapnap had Tubbo practically in a choke hold as he had a dagger placed against his neck. The brunet looked terrified as he stood on his tippy toes to prevent his throat from being slit, holding onto Sapnap's hand desperately.

"Put your sword down." A different voice commanded from behind Eris, and she looked around again to see Dream staring down at her.

The brunette looked around, weighing her options. But as she took in the situation and surroundings, she lowered her weapon. In one corner of the room George had disarmed Fundy, who looked in pain as he clutched his side. On the other side, there was Wilbur and Tommy, held under watch by Eret. Wilbur still had his arm under the blond's shoulders, but this time he had to completely support the boy's weight as he was unconscious. He held Tommy behind him slightly, shielding him as he glared down at Eret who had a sword pointed at them.

Eris dropped down her sword. It clattered to the ground with a nasty ring as it came in contact with the stone floor. She put up her hands and pushed the iron object aside with her feet, desperately hoping Tubbo would be let go.

Then he laughed. Dream let out an almost maniacal laughter, making Eris flinch as she looked up at him, hands still risen slightly in the air.

"You really thought it would work out, huh." Dream whipped his head around to look at Wilbur, who returned the gaze with the same glare he had given Eret.

The masked man laughed again, clapping his hands together in amusement before making his way to the exit of the room. He turned around when he reached the stairs for a moment, "Get them upstairs."
