Beautifully Dangerous (Technoblade x OC [Azalea])

Chapter 11:

Techno's P.O.V

I stared at her in shock. She lived with Dream and survived! How?

"Zia, I-"

"Techno, let me finish... please" She said softly. Her voice held a lot of pain and vulnerability in it. I gulped, but nodded nonetheless. She sighed and continued.

"They took me in. They helped me. They became a temporary family. They improved my fighting skills, stealth, lies, and a lot of other things. They became my brothers. But Dream was... different. He would treat me differently compared to Sapnap and George. At first, I thought it was just because I was female."

"But George told me something weird that made me think otherwise. Apparently, someone named Captain Puffy had come there some months before me, and Dream treated her like any of the others. After hearing this, I decided to confront Dream about it."

"I woke up one morning, and sought him out. I found him in a tree, keeping watch. I climbed up and asked him if he could talk right now. He said 'sure.' I told him that I had been noticing that he had been treating me differently from the rest of the group. He treated me with more care, like he cared about me. He shook his head and laughed."

"'Has it really taken this long for you to find out?' he said, staring at me. That was the first time he took his mask off when I was around. I was shocked, but even more so with what he said next. 'Zay, I think I might be in love with you.' He told me. He told me he had never felt this way about anyone before. He told me that he would fight heaven and hell to protect me." I could tell she was crying. I just hugged her tighter. I knew this was really hard for her. 

She had opened up to people before, only for them to betray her. I wanted her to know that that would never be me. I would never betray her. That I would actually protect her from anything. That I would actually fight heaven and hell for her. But I couldn't form the words. Instead, she went on.

"I admit, I had felt  something different towards him. At the time, I mistook if for love, but it was actually uneasy. He made my stomach twist and I thought those were butterflies. I told myself I loved him too, but I never actually did."

"One day, he came back to camp extremely angry, covered in cuts and bruises. In all the time I wa there, I had never seen Dream hurt nor that mad. I asked him what happened, but he just walked past me and started to talk to Sapnap and George. It wasn't until the next morning did I know what they were talking about."

"Dream came and got me up, saying it was urgent. He told me that there was going to be a war, a war to destroy a country. I asked him what did this country to do him, but he didn't answer. Instead, he led me to the gym and we trained day and night, for weeks on end."

"It got so bad to the point where Dream would spar with me and use actual weapons against me. I had to dodge and block properly or else I would get cut. After each of these training sessions, Dream would stalk away to his room, not talking to anyone the rest of the night. It went on like that for months, Techno, months..."

"At one point, I looked into his eyes and saw only power and greed in them. There was no love for me. I packed that night, keeping my sobs and tears to myself. The next morning, I told him that I was leaving. But h-he just laughed. He told me I was s-stupid for thinking that I could leave."

"'If you want your freedom, then fight for it.' He told me. That was when my last strand broke. I let the voices take over. The fight was over in about 5 minutes. It was all a blur to me, but Dream had been knocked unconscious. I quickly grabbed my things and a few things from around the camp, before running. I knew I could never go back nor show my face ever again..."

"Techno, Dream stole almost everything from me. And he always called me 'Zay'. It's hard enough to accept Zia because it's what my parents called me, but Zay just... it makes the voices screech and almost instantly take control. That's why I hate that nickname."

Zia had stopped crying now. I looked at her and saw memories and pain swirling in her eyes. She looked up at me and I could tell she was broken. She was broken just like me. 

"I... I'm sorry, Zia. I.. i think I may know the reason Dream was mad that day... that day that everything changed."

Azalea's P.O.V

I stared at Techno in shock. How could he know why Dream was mad?!

"How? How would you know why Dream was mad?" I said. He looked around, making sure that no one was around. That's when I noticed that it was almost pitch black. I heard a hiss come from behind me.

I quickly turned around and shot the Creeper with a bow and arrow. It is now currently laying on the floor, dead. I sighed and turned back to Techno. He had no emotion showing in his face, the opposite of what it was just a minute ago.

"We should probably head back now." he said, getting up. I stiffly nodded. I was still curious on how he knew what caused Dream to go into his insane state, but I pushed it to the back of my mind for right now. 

We started walking back. We didn't talk that much. I was glad Techno was there to listen. That has been weighing on my mind and myself for so long, I haven't even told Tommy that. I wondered if Techno was ok with everything I told him. For just meeting him a couple days ago, I trusted him really quickly. I was confused on what made me trust him, but I just did.

I didn't know how to explain it, but I trusted him with anything. And earlier when he was comforting me as I recalled my past, I felt safe in his arms. As if nothing could hurt me when he was around. I looked down at his hand and started to wonder what it would be like to hold it in my own. 

Azalea, stop it, you're starting to sound like your in- wait.... OH GOD!

I think I might have just fell in love with a pig.
