Tommy was in darkness, he couldnt see, hear, or think. All it was, was dark.

Tommy heard a muffled voice or scream.

The darkness became light and he saw the image that was laid before him.

Wilbur and Techno, dead on the ground, their bodies were mutilated, torn to shreds.

Philza was the one screaming out in pain, he was broken. He was so very hurt.

"You did this, you did this to us." Phil said walking to Tommy, he was limping and very bloody. Tommy didnt know if it was Phil's blood or his sons.

Tommy shook his head violently, Tommy thought he could trust Phil. That Phil would love him and care for him like his parents couldn't.

"You killed them, you did this, it's all your fault" Phil said, his tone was very sour. It pained Tommy to hear him speak this way.

The smiley, loving father, that Tommy once knew was dead, and what was left was malicious. It was pure hatred and evil, and it terrified Tommy.

Tommy started to panic, his breath quickened and became short. He fell to his knees sobbing, he couldnt muster any words, though he was in a dream. It felt so very very real.

Tommy saw images, meere flashes of a shape, it was a sinister looking smile. A smile that haunted him forever. Never fully knowing the source of it, not until-

Tommy was woken up by many voices, two of them he could recognize.

"Hey Toms, it's me, Wilbur remember? Are you with me?" He said, putting his hands on Tommy's shoulders to ground him.

Tommy's breath was very heavy and very quick. He was having a panic attack that he couldnt get out of.

Tommy nodded his head to Wilburs words.

"Good, good, I'm gonna count to three and you're gonna do so in your head, ok? Count with me." Wilbur said and Tommy only nodded.

"1.." Wilbur breathed in a deep breath and Tommy did the best he could to mimic his breath but was cut of short from a sob.

"2.." another breath, this time Tommy breathed it in fully, but it was shakey.

"3.." he said, breathing in a deep breath and Tommy did the same, it was still shakey but Tommy was in control of it.

"Good job Toms, you did great." Wilbur said smiling at him, sadness was present in his eyes and Tommy hated that look, he hated this feeling he had.

It was guilt, guilt was very clearly there. He had a lump in his throat and a heavy feeling in his chest. His stomach felt sick at the thought of them pitting him.

"You wanna talk about it?" Techno asked, Willbur gave him the side eye. He just calmed him down, he didnt need him to go back in that state. He was just starting to have none shakey breathes.

"You dont need to talk about it now, we can talk about it in the morning ok?" Wilbur said, Tommy was relieved that he didnt have to talk about it right away.

He just saw the people he cared about dead and the one he thought he could trust the most was dead. He didnt want to think about it anymore.

Tommy just nodded, he was still crying but it wasnt as hard before, just a few stray tears that he couldnt control.

"How about you try to get some more sleep?" Wilbur suggested, he knew Tommy had a nightmare but the kid still needed to try and get some sleep.

Tommy however, thought differently.

He shook his head harshly when Wilbur said that. He mumbled what seemed to be words but Wilbur couldnt decipher it. It just sounded like another language.

"Ok, ok, calm down bud. We wont make you go back to sleep. How about we go walk around?" Techno said chiming in.

Tommy stopped shaking his head and just nodded.

"Cmon kid, let's get you out of this stuffy castle." Techno said, Wilbur let go of Tommy's shoulders and Techno held his hand out for Tommy to grab.

Tommy gladly excepted it, when he stood his legs were wobbly from shock.

Tommy had to use Techno as support for a moment but then he was fine.

They started walking down the hallways until they made it to a door. It wasnt the main entrance so Tommy had no idea where they were.

"This door leads to the family garden, I go out here when I need to clear my head." Techno said opening the door to the outside.

A gust of warm air hit their chilled bodies, it was much warmer outside then in the castle.

Techno took the first step outside and Tommy followed, with Wilbur behind him.

They walked down a cobblestone path that was surrounded by flowers and tall grass.

Tommy always loved nature, even before he lived in the forest.

Tommy took notice of the moons position, and estimated it was about 5 am. He learned how to do this when he was left alone. He learned the different positions of the sun or the moon correlate with the time it is.

Then Tommy noticed the vibrant flowers, there were red, white, purple, and yellow flowers, big and small. They memorized him, the difference between each flower was very prominent, but that was what made them beautiful and that satisfied Tommy. Knowing that being different was what makes you beautiful.

He went up to one of the many flowers that were there, it was yellow.

He looked at the flower intently, he was trying to figure out what kind it was.

"That's a dandelion, one of my favorites." Wilbur said standing next to him.

Tommy pointed at another flower, it was a red one, this time Techno answered.

"That's a poppy, it's my favorite." Techno said joining Tommy's other side.

Tommy nodded making a mental note, not only of the names but of the way they looked.

Tommy continued walking down the path, his brothers behind him- brothers. Could Tommy call them his brothers? Phil talked about adoption but was he serious?

Tommy didnt let these thoughts protrude his mind any longer, he simply climbed up a tree to sit on a branch. He watched the sunrise from the tree. Like he did back in the forest.

"Toms, what are you doing?" Wilbur called to Tommy.

Tommy looked down but then pointed to the sky, the twins followed to where he was pointing and saw the sun was rising.

Reluctantly they joined him, but they perfered to be at the bottom of the tree rather then in it.

And together, they watched the sun rise, a bad start to the day, but it couldnt end bad too, right?
