Allium

Chapter 13

tw: blood, strangling, passing out

Ranboo POV

I woke up somewhere I didn't recognize and panicked, before realizing I had most likely been in an enderwalk. I sat up and winced, yelping in pain. There was an arrow buried in my leg, along with one in my shoulder and a graze mark on one arm from a near hit. I leaned forward and pulled the arrow out of my leg. I noticed the green wrapping near the fletching. Great, now I'm gonna be in pain and sick as fuck.

I reached back and pulled the arrow out of my shoulder, tossing it to the side of the small clearing. I lay back down on the uncomfortable bed of twigs and leaves, drifting off to sleep...

I walked through the tall trees, hearing the soft sounds of nighttime surrounding me. I could hear a sound, what was it? I turned around and saw a small shape, it was...Tubbo! I walked towards him, but the intentions of the person in the dream were...different. I saw myself walk up to Tubbo and grab him by the throat and lift him into the air. Tubbo was crying and kicking, struggling to breathe...

I woke up from the nightmare gasping and feeling as if I had been the one getting strangled. Did I hurt Tubbo during an enderwalk? I looked around and realized I was in a different part of the forest, but I recognized this area as I sat up and looked around. I must have gone into another one when I fell asleep. I lifted my hand to brush my hair to the side and noticed the dried blood on my fingertips...

I sat there for a little while. Thinking. I hurt Tubbo. Why would I hurt Tubbo? I love tubbo. Why would I hurt... I love Tubbo.

I circled back to that one thought. Over and over again. I sat for what felt like days. I decided that this thought was important. I pulled out my memory book and wrote in big bold letters:

I love Tubbo.

I sat in the same spot for a long time. Staring at those three words on the page. Watching them as if at any moment they would disappear. Watching as if they would magically summon him. I closed the book and put it away.

I stood up and began to limp down the trail in the direction of the safehouse. It was past noon. Maybe it was just a dream, maybe I didn't hurt Tubbo at all... maybe I hurt someone else?

The safehouse came into view as I got closer to the edge of the trees. I saw Phil sitting on the front steps. He stood up and drew his sword as I approached, but quickly put it away when he noticed I was limping.

"We didn't know where you went, Fundy tried to track you down, but said he lost sight of you," Phil explained as he came up and let me lean on his shoulder. It was a relief to have the weight lifted off my leg.

"I didn't even know where I was when I woke up, I just sat there pulling out arrows," I said, wincing as I put weight on my injured leg. I decided it wouldn't be the best idea to mention the second enderwalk, so I skipped over that part. Phil glanced over at me, looking concerned.

"Fundy said he hit you with a few arrows, he was trying to get you to just fall asleep so you would come out of the enderwalk. Are there any deep wounds?" he asked, looking for the first aid kit for bandages and health potions,

"I dunno, I haven't checked, the one on my leg wasn't too bad earlier, but it started bleeding pretty badly on the walk back," I said as I sat down on the floor. I hadn't checked any of the wounds left by the arrows, but when I was about halfway back I could feel a small stream of blood flowing from the wound on my leg. I felt really tired and my head hurt as I leaned up against a wall. I could see Phil return with medical supplies. I must have looked sick because when he sat down next to me he looked concerned,

"Hey, Ranboo, are you feeling okay?" he asked, putting one hand on my forehead.

"Y-yeah I'm fine, it's just really c-cold in here," I stuttered. I heard Phil shout for help and quick footsteps followed by me passing out and everything going dark.
