Chapter 4

t/w: blood, burning, torcher kinda ig

Philza POV

I could see Technos house coming into view as we rode closer on our horses. I heard a loud scream come from somewhere inside. A few moments later we were in front of the small cottage. We got off our horses and began to make our way to the front door, only to be cut short by Dream walking out of the house.

"Take one more step and I'll kill him!" he shouted.

Dream stood just outside the front door. He had a sword in his hand that dripped with fresh blood. Behind him, he dragged the limp body of Ranboo. I could feel tears well up in my eyes as I looked at the seemingly lifeless body being dragged onto the snow. Dream dropped the enderman hybrid onto the ground and pressed his sword to the boy's neck. We all backed away from Dream until we were about ten feet from him.

"How do we know you haven't killed him already?" Sam growled.

Dream kicked the boy aside and broke a few blocks to make a small hole. He pulled out a water bucket and filled the small pit. I could feel a knot forming in my stomach. I couldn't see any movement coming from Ranboo as Dream picked him up and held him above the water. Is he already gone? Did we miss our chance to save him? Is he going to lose a life?

Dream smiled and dropped Ranboo into the water. The loud splash was accompanied by a scream and a sizzling sound as the water burned and scarred his skin. I cringed at the sound. I was both horrified and relieved as Dream dragged the boy from the water only a second later. At least now we know he isn't dead. The small pool was now tinted red and water dripped from Ranboo as he curled up on the ground in pain.

"You can have your little hybrid as long as I am not followed. Let me leave in peace and stop hunting me or I will kill him next time." Dream warned.

He grabbed the collar of Ranboos hoodie again and walked backwards dragging him to the edge of the woods before dropping him to the ground once more. He backed away, keeping a crossbow aimed at the boy's head as he walked out of sight.

As soon as Dream was gone, I rushed to Ranboo. He was curled up on the ground and whimpering. His left arm was sliced open and he had fresh burns on his arms and neck. His eyes were closed and his breathing was shallow and raspy. Sam helped me carry him inside and we laid him on the couch. Techno was knocked out on the floor, but he seemed fine, aside from a cut on his head, and his pulse was normal.

AntFrost came back with some towels and a minute later Bad returned with some health potions and bandages. I sat with Ranboo's head on my lap and gently raised one of the bottles to his lips. He was only semi-conscious and kept coughing up the purplish red liquid. I was getting concerned, but eventually managed to get him to down most of a potion bottle and sighed with relief. Sam worked to dry him off with the towels while Bad cleaned and bandaged the cut on his arm.

Techno woke up about half an hour after we arrived and explained how Dream had come to the door, saying that he knew Ranboo was living with him. They had argued for a bit and Techno tried to get him to leave. Dream had gotten really angry and hit him on the head with his shield, knocking him out instantly and he didn't remember anything after that.
