Tommy POV

My relief of getting my brother back quickly turned to horror. He was... different. He wasn't the Wilbur I had grown up with. The same Wilbur who had looked after me all those years. No, this Wilbur was insane. And not in a good way.

"Come with me Tommy." Wilbur said, grabbing my arm and trying to drag me.

"Wilbur, I don't want to go. This is my home." I replied, managing to free my arm from his strong grip.

He slowly turned to me and I could practically see the insanity. "Tommy, you're all I have left. You're the only family I've got."

"Okay... but why does that mean I have to leave?" I didn't understand. Where did he have to go?

"Well I have to keep you safe, don't I? I can't do that by allowing you to live here." he chuckled.

I gulped, allow me? Since when did he control my life? I knew I had to get away from him, but that was easier said than done. "I-I- uh-" I stammered, trying to come up with some excuse. Part of me knew that he would find me anywhere I went, but I wasn't going to let that stop me from trying to get away from him.

"What's wrong Tommy? Don't you want to be with your big brother? Didn't you miss me?" he raised an eyebrow.

A plan began to form in my head, and I could only pray that it would work. Run off, then call someone for to help. I pushed my doubts away and took a deep breath. "I don't want to leave Wil. This is my home."

He didn't like that, I could tell by the way his eyes narrowed. "I suggest you get running, before I catch you." He smirked, "That should give you enough time to say goodbye to everyone."

My eyes widened and I took off, terrified just by his tone. What ever happened to my loving, caring brother? He's the one that was supposed to come back, not this monster. 

Immediately I scrolled through my contacts on my communicator, quickly selecting the nearest one. It vibrated for a second before the person picked up.

"What do you want Tommy?" 

I sighed, looking behind me. "Wilbur's after me! Please help me, please." I begged as I caught sight of him.

"Wilbur? Isn't that your brother?" Sam asked, still annoyed. "Why would I help you after what you did?"

"Please Sam!" I cried out. "He's going to take me away, I-I- please!"

Sam paused, considering my pleas. I didn't have time for this, I hung up, moving to the next person. Someone must care about me, right?

I rung Puffy, beginning to run again. To my disappointment and horror, she didn't answer. I stopped, trying to catch my breath before calling the next person. Tubbo.

It vibrated for a few seconds before Tubbo answered.

"What do you want Tommy?"

I bit my lip at his tone. Did I do something wrong? "I-I-" 

"I'm busy Tommy, is this important?" Tubbo impatiently asked. 

"He-"

"Call me when you actually need something." he hung up without another thought.

I considered just curling up right then and there, letting Wilbur take me. Did everyone really hate me that much? Wilbur's laughter made me sprint off again. I couldn't-I wouldn't. I wasn't going down without a fight. After all, I was the great Tommyinnit. I don't give up, no matter what.

I glanced at the next contact, unsure of if he would even care. I decided to take the chance. He picked up immediately, which I was not at all prepared for.

"Tommy? What do you want?" he growled.

I took a deep breath, wiping the coming tears away. "I need help, Techno please-"

"Why don't you call one of your friends?"

"I-I tried... none-none of them care... Techno! Please! I don't want to go-I don't!" I sobbed, unable to run anymore. My legs burned so bad, I just wanted to curl up and cry.

"Wait, who's after you?" Techno's voice softened.

"Wil- Tech he's crazy! He wants to take me away- to protect me or some shit! Don't let him take me Techno! Please!" I pleaded, hearing the laughter come closer.

Suddenly a hand grabbed my shoulder, knocking my communicator out of my hand. "I think that's been enough time."

I gulped as he harshly grabbed my arm. Wilbur began dragging me away, a grin on his face. We walked mostly in silence, as I tried to figure out how to get away from him. A figure came from the distance, headed towards us.

Was it Techno? I squinted, disappointment flooding my chest when I realized it was Bad. Maybe he could help-maybe-

"Hey Tommy! Hey-"

"Stay away from my little brother." Wilbur snarled, continuing to pull me past him. Bad stood there, completely dumbfounded.

Tears pricked my vision, when I realized I couldn't escape him. My footsteps slowed, and I felt my legs give out, sending me to the ground. 

Wilbur stopped, turning to me. For a moment I saw my Wilbur, the one who was concerned and loving. The one person I missed more than anyone.

I thought back to all the calls I had made. No one cared... would they even notice I was gone?

"N-no one loves me Wil-l." I cried, curling up.

His eyes softened, "I do. I love you more than anyone Toms. That's why I'm doing this, I just want to keep you safe." He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into his lap. Gently, he picked me up, whispering in my ear, "I swear I'll protect you."
