Tubbo POV

It was late we had slept for awhile or I did, it was night out now. I checked my phone for the time it was 1:22am. I had just noticed that Ranboo wasn't with me anymore I sat up looking around. And I saw him standing by the kitchen holding a large wooden sword. What was going on? Did someone sneak on? Are there monsters on the ship? I stepped out of bed and quietly walked towards him, thats when I noticed something was off about him, his tail was swaying in a strange way like a tic it would randomly jerk. His eyes were glowing purple and he had small purple dot-like things surrounding his whole body. His mouth had holes in it like it had been ripped open in the sides. His mouth was also the same purple color as his eyes, his mouth looked to have blood on it, maybe from the tearing in it.

"Ranboo..?" I mummerd up walking closer to him. His head swung down at me and he stared at me, I looked up and looked at his eyes, his face changed from clam to angry in a second.

"Are you alright?." Before I could ask anymore his mouth opened and a loud noise like a Enderman scream came from him. He picked me up by under my arms I didnt have time to react before I was thrown to a wall. One hand over my mouth his nails digging into my face he tried to bite me even but it wasn't like he was meaning to hurt me almost, before he could bite me his head jurred to the side, he picked the sword off of the ground and stood up his head was moving in fast jerks, he lifted the sword up like he was going to slice me open, I sat in awe. I didn't know what to do? If I ran he would catch me, if I yelled no one would answer, if I fought back I would hurt him. The sword was coming down I put my arms to block my face but I wasn't greeted with a hit. I opened my eyes to see a crying Ranboo, blood came from his mouth. I stood up and hugged him. We fell to the ground.

"Ranboo?!" I slightly yelled hugging him tighter I didn't have a clue what happened but he was breaking down and he's helped me when I needed it so Ill help him.

"Im- Im so s- sorr- sorry!!." His voice was broken up he was sobbing, I was trying to comfort him but he wouldnt hug me back he kept both hands on my chest trying to push me away very lightly.

"Ranboo its fine!, you just scared me!"

"I'm sorry..." he whispered. He had his head dug into my shoulder. I felt bad for him, I still don't know what happened but it wasn't good obviously.

"Is all ok now Ranboo, Im safe and so are you."

"I COULD HAVE KILLED YOU- YOU - YOU DON'T UNDE- UNDERSTAND!." He yelled into my shoulder, he was sobbing. And shaking. I only hugged him harder, I felt bad. I didn't really know what was going on but I knew that it definitely was bothering him.

"Im so so sorry Tubbo."

"You don't need to apologize to me."

"No- I-"

"Shut up. You don't have to say sorry." He quietly nodded and wrapped his arms around me hugging me back, it took a minute for him to calm down but he pulled away and we sat up onto one of the beds.

Ranboo POV

"Im sorry to ask, and I understand if you don't want to tell me. But um what happened? Why did you try and hurt me?." he asked with full confusion in his voice his voice was quiet and soft, comforting in a way. I took a breath in.

"I uh Enderwalked." I mumbled under my breath my eyes stated fixated on the dark floor as the boat rocked back and fourth over waves.

"Whats Enderwalking.?"
