I lay against the cold, hard wall of the small room I was in, wondering how to get out. I was bored as fuck in here, and my telekinesis seemed to be glitching after my encounter with luna, or, as I now knew her, Evie.
I mentioned before that my wounds healed unnaturally quickly, right!?
Well I was starting to wonder if it had anything to do with Evie, after all, she could heal her own wound instantly, and I could have sworn I saw guilt in her eyes at the end of the battle. I was sure she hadn't meant to hurt anyone.
She could have been manipulated, or forced into it, or tricked, or something.
Suddenly I heard voices. This time not inside my head.
Evie. Evie was back.
I heard Sapnap screaming her name.
I peered out of the window.
Evie was walking across the grass towards Sapnap, dream and George.
Sapnap ran forward and hugged her, and dream and George joined in.
I was torn.
On the one hand, it was really nice to see her back with her friends, but on the other hand...
L'manburg now had no leverage to get her back. Not to mention the damage that Evie could've done to them, after all, she was greatly feared.
They likely wouldn't have been able to hold her off unless they all contributed a little.
I watched them on the grass, reunited at last. Evie appeared to be miming how she had escaped. At one point she threw the sword up and caught it, and said something that made dream kettle - laugh. Something was wrong.
I knew it. I squinted, blinded by the sun bouncing off her iron armour.
IRON ARMOUR.
That wasn't her armour.
That was my brothers armour.
That was tubbos armour.
He would never had given it to her willingly.
She had fucked up this time.
If Tommy didn't kill her. I would.
They hugged again, and I caught a snippet of conversation, of Evie talking.
'I need to talk to the prisoner.'
Her voice sounded hoarse, as if she wasn't used to speaking, and she sounded mildly disorientated.
But she was coming. Coming to speak to me.
A few minutes later, she walked in, she wasn't wearing tubbos armour anymore, or any armour in fact.
I shuffled backwards across the room, getting the fuck away from her. What if she wanted information, what if she wanted to hurt me, what if they had decided that there was no longer any use for me. She looked at me like I was crazy, but I could still see the pity in her eyes, she moved towards me, raising her hands in submission, trying to get he to calm down. I was breathing incredibly heavily, almost whimpering.
'it's okay, it's okay, I'm not going to hurt you, I promise' her voice still sounded like she hadn't spoken properly for days, but beneath that I could here gentleness... Consern.
'i just wanna talk to you, okay?' she said, lowering her hands. I leapt to mt feet, although it jarred most of the bones in my body, 'well that's good. Because I want to talk to you as well.'
She seemed surprised at my tone, which I wasn't surprised about, due to the fact that I had tried to make it sound threatening.
I was so angry.
She had hurt, maybe even killed, my brother.
Right then, I felt like I could do anything, but what I wanted to do was to hurt her.
I shoved her against the opposite wall.
'what. Did. You. Do. To. My. Brother' I hissed into her ear. She grinned, an evil, evil grin.
I was done. I punched her, over and over and over again, and all though it she smiled. She didn't try to protect herself or anything. Just stood there.
And she smiled.
A man in a lime green hoodie and a smiling face mask burst into the room. Dream.
He pulled me off her, looking furious.
He thrust me against the opposite wall and tried to punch me. But there was someone holding him back.
It was Evie.
She smirked.
'oh don't worry about her dream, she didn't hurt me. She's just angry because I hurt her precious brother'
I was so angry. How DARE she act like I had done nothing, like tubbo didn't matter, like I hadn't hurt her, at least a little. She pretended to fiddle with an imaginary piece of dust. 'your brother was so easy to defeat' she made a fist, 'so easy to crush'
I gasped in horror as she walked arrogantly out of the room.
Dream grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and pulled me forward, almost lifting me off the ground entirely, I swear I could feel him staring at me through the mask. He was staring right into my soul.
'you touch Evie again, and I will destroy you, like I am going to destroy your pathetic country.'
His voice was menacing, dangerous. I was scared. He threw me against the wall, winding me, and then he left.
I was alone again.
<two hours later >
I heard the door open and whipped my head upwards to see who it was.
Evie. Fuck.
She was holding a tray with a loaf of bread and a cup of water.
When she spoke, her voice was soft again.
'heyyyyy.... You, you hungry?'
I turned away. I was fucking STARVING goddammit, but there was no WAY I was talking to her. Not after what she did.
'your brother isn't dead.'
I felt a wave of relief sweep over me.
But I could not let myself believe her.
'then how did you get his armour.' I said, shaking. I started hyperventilating again.
Evie put her hands up quickly, trying to calm me down, but I flinched, protecting my face as I thought she was going to hurt me. She realised I was in a state of panic, so she started stroking my hair, playing within the the loose end of my ponytail, gradually calming me down.
'Your acting so much like him, like your brother'
I looked up in surprise, still panicking.
'calm down, I'm not going to hurt you, you do sound like tubbo though, when he found out you were gone, he and tommy came to speak to me, Tommy was kinda scary to be honest, but tubbo was hyperventilating just like you. To answer your question, I knocked your highly unfortunate brother unconscious by blocking his airpipe. ' I nodded slowly. Why would she do it like that, that's possibly the least painful way to do it, and the luna I knew was ruthless, cruel.
' why '
The word was out of my mouth before I could stop it.
Evie laughed,' why!, why?! ' so I could escape, you dingus, '
' Why like that '
I said, Evie looked incredulous.
' Well I would have thought that you would know that Solis, it's the easiest way to knock someone out! '
' so no struggle or anything!? ' I asked.
' no. I didn't - I didn't want to hurt him'.
I was, admittedly, shocked, her, luna, not wanting to hurt someone. Wow.
Soon I came to realise that the ruthless one was luna. This, this here, was someone different.
This was Evie.
'how did you escape.' I said, dairing to go further.
'I- they let me go.' I was shocked.
They LET HER GO. Why.
'why... Why would they do that.' I asked, treading carefully.
'they pityed me'. She replied, practically spitting out the word pityed as if it burned her tongue.
'why' I ventured further.
'your like a fucking five year old, y'know that right. Look, Julia, I don't know why I trust you but I do, okay. So I will tell you. I... I hear voices. In my head. And they always corrospond to the people in front of me.'
I laughed. 'you have telekinesis! like me! God, I wondered why I couldn't read your mind!'
That explains it.
'w-what!? So I'm not, I'm not mad!' she said, sounding incredibly relieved. 'no! But what exactly made them pity you so much you went free, especially after hurting tubbo.' I was incredibly curious, as it would have taken a lot to stop Tommy destroying her. 'I - I kinda held a sword to nikis neck and told them to let me go. I was losing control and confidence of the situation so there thoughts interlaced with mine. It was very odd. I fell to the ground and I think I shouted something like... Shut up? The others looked confused but Tommy... I only saw pity in his eyes. So they let me run. ' that makes sense actually, I thought, tubbo said that Tommy and wilbur had a brother who heard voices. No wonder they let her go.
She stood up.' dream, George and my brother will be returning soon and I can't be seen with you., besides, you should eat, we have a big day tomorrow.' she said, walking towards the door.
'what?' I said, confused.
'well they let me return, didn't they, they were going to swap me for you and they got the raw end of the deal, beside, tubbo misses his sister.'
And then she left.
I could scarcely believe it. I was getting out of here. And luna.. No. Evie, was an ally.
A friend.
