Broken Mask| Fundy & Dream

sixteen

To say that Wilbur rushed inside was an understatement.

The ghost practically sprinted inside, he didn't care if he had a room number or not. He could go through walls.

"Wil!" Niki chased after her friend, Eret following behind.

The ghost checked through every single room. His heart and head filled with adrenaline. Where was his son? He just wanted to hold his boy again. Apologize for everything.

He wanted his son back.

"Fundy!!" Wilbur shouted as loud as he could. He went down every hallway, when one room hit him.

Room 213.

|2 hours before|

Fundy walked into the door, exactly two minutes to spare. He sighed and closed the door, only to be thrown to the ground and kicked in the ribs.

"I knew I couldn't trust you. Phonebooth, huh? You fucker." Dream spat.

Fundy coughed up blood, a bruise on his lip. The fox got up, clutching his side.

"They know I'm alive, they know what they need to. I told them everything." The fox hissed.

Dream growled. "WHY DON'T YOU WANNA BE WITH ME?!" He yelled, hitting Fundy across the face once again.

Fundy growled, "BECAUSE I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE!" He yelled, tears running down his face.

Dream's eyes turned red, red liquid running down his mask. He threw it off, laughing hysterically. Looking at Fundy with a wide smirk. His green hoodie turning black. A jack-o'-lantern's face across it.

"If I can't be your Dream.." he pulled out a syringe from thin air.

"I'll be your nightmare."

"This is it. This has to be the room!"

Ghostbur desperately tried to open the door, the idea of going through the wall again not even occuring him.

"Wil, stand back."

The ghost stood back, and Eret kicked down the door. The trio heading inside of the room. 

"Fundy?!" Wilbur called out.

Niki opened the door to the bathroom.

Nothing.

Eret went into the main room, a note taped to the window. He went over and pulled the note off of the glass.

"Niki! Wilbur!"

The aforementioned duo walked forward and looked over Eret's shoulder. Wilbur quickly taking the note and reading it.

Take me back before,
We started all the lore,
A quick trip to the gore,
Turned into something more.

"What does that mean?" Niki whispered.

"Something more.. something.." Wilbur sat on the bed.

"Maybe he's talking about somewhere here?" Eret suggested

Wilbur closed his eyes, memories flashed in his head of his former life. Before he died, when he destroyed L'manberg.

"Wilbur, you swear to me you'll protect him.." Sally's dutch voice was weak and hoarse.

Wilbur's eyes filled with tears, "I- I can't do this without you.."

"Y- Yes you can.." the ginger nodded, "You have to, f- for him.." she gestured to the sleeping child in Wilbur's arms.

The brunette looked down at his own son before looking back up at his dying wife.

"O- Okay, I will.." he nodded his head.

Fundy shifted slightly in Wilbur's arms. The poor kiddo only six years old.

"G- go, take him f- far from here.. I d- don't wa- want him to s- see me d- die.."

Wilbur got up, holding Fundy. He looked down at Sally and kissed her once last time.

"Goodbye, Sally."

"G- Goodbye, W- Wilbur."

--

"Eret?" Wilbur spoke gently, not wanting to wake up his sleeping son.

"Yeah?" Eret asked.

"I want to take him back to Copenhagen, right before anything like this happened. No tragic past, a- and I wanna stay there until L'manberg is done." He took a deep shaky breath.

"I- It's what S- Sally wants."

"Of course."

  ---

  "Copenhagen." Wilbur spoke up. Interrupting the banter between Niki and Eret.

"Hm?" Niki looked over at the ghost.

"That's where it all began. Don't you remember, Eret? I told you to t- take me to Copenhagen.."

"Sally's dying wish, yeah I remember that." Eret nods, "So the plot to america was a distraction.."

"He's in Denmark."
