Tommy was gone. When They unlocked the door to get him the room was empty. A unanimous 'shit' crossed the vampire's minds as they stared at the scene in front of them. The window was open and several sheets of the beds were gone. The little shit had really jumped out the window three stories below. Well, he did use the bed sheets as a sort of rope, tying them together in tight knots to shorten his fall. It seems he was craftier than they thought.

"What did I tell you?" Technoblade said, casually leaning against the wall and inspecting his nails. His act was nonchalant but on the inside he was impressed.

Wilbur tsked and grit his teeth. "Phil, you said it would be fine!" The man just shook his head.

"Looks like he's a slippery one," Philza chuckled darkly. "No matter, he can't run for long. Wil-" He was interrupted by the ringing of his phone. A frown fell upon his face when he saw who it was. 'Not this asshole' he thought. Sighing, he answered. "What the hell do you want? I'm in a predicament right now, you better make it quick." he hissed.

"The fuck do you mean 'you better make it quick' my changlings gone you asshole! Fuck, you said it would be fine and shit but he's gone. Huh? So much for your 'perfect plan' eh? Separate them on the same day so shit won't happen but he escaped! Out the fuckin' window!"

Philzas grip on the phone tightened, knuckles turning white from the pressure. "Look mate, same shit happened here. I can't do much about it but they're probably trying to find each other; I'll be on the lookout."

The voice on the other end scowled. "Dont forget you fuckin owe me. Or do you want your ties with us to be severed? We don't appreciate it when debt isn't paid over here. Get to it bitch." A beep was heard. The bastard hung up on him.

Philza then slammed his phone on the table, almost breaking it.

"Self-righteous asshole! We owe him one favor and he takes it too far." he seethed. The other two just stared at him slack-jawed; Philza seldom showed his wrath, he preferred settling disputes with diplomacy rather than anger or violence. It seems the leader of the Ram coven pushed him a bit too far this time. He pinched the bridge of his nose and took a few deep breaths to calm himself.

"Wil, do me a favor and find them alright?" he asked and turned to the other. "Techno, can you call Dream for me? If things go awry we're gonna need him. He still owes you a favor right?" Techno nods and walks out of the room.

There it stood in all its ragged glory, their old home. After much running and navigating Tommy found it, still standing. Modifications and all. He rushed to the door and opened it to see Tubbo was already there, waiting on the dusty bed they used to sleep in. His eyes lit up and tears welled in the corner of his eyes as he ran to the other boy, tackling him into a hug. The brunette yelped and tensed up but immediately melted into the hug when he saw it was just Tommy. His own arms eventually wrapping around the other as they stayed there, relishing the moment.

A minute passed and they broke apart. They sat there awkwardly, not a word falling from either of their lips. None of the two knew where to start; until Tommy noticed the bandages wrapped around Tubbo's neck. His expression immediately changed into one of concern.

"The hell happened to your neck man?"

"I don't know, I woke up like this when Schla- Oh you don't know do you?" Tubbo said sheepishly.

The blond's face darkened. "Schlatt what?"

"I- I went to dinner with him and he recommended I stay the night, so I did. He gave me a warm glass of milk to help me sleep but- It was laced with something and I passed out. I woke up and my teeth felt all weird, and they still do! When I touched them they hurt so I stopped. My neck was sore and covered in bandages too..." Tubbo replied, not seeming to put the pieces together. On the other hand, Tommy did.

"Tubbo, open your mouth for me, can you do that?" Tommy asked. Tubbo nodded and opened his mouth. "This is gonna hurt like a bitch so squeeze my hand if you need to." The brunette looked concerned but complied and held onto Tommy's hand.

With his other hand, Tommy carefully grabbed onto one of Tubbos canines. The brunette jerked and tightened his grip. Checking if he was ok, Tommy then muttered a quiet apology and yanked down on the tooth, ripping it out. Tubbo cried out in agony and violently pushed Tommy to the floor below. "What the hell Tommy I trusted you!" he wailed. Blood began to drip from Tubbo's gums, staining his teeth and seeping onto his tongue. The familiar taste of iron flooded his taste buds. His tongue instinctively began to feel the area that had been damaged only for a sharp point to prick it. His eyes widened. He finally put the pieces together.

He sank down onto the floor and put his head in between his legs. Loud sobbing began to fill the room. Now knowing what to do, Tommy just got up and began to comfort him as best as he could while he came up with a plan.
