Chapter 27

I stare at Philza with a blank expression, waiting for him to carry on. He sighs and turns to look out the window of the small house.

"You know how you along with Tommy, Techno and... Wilbur are my children? Well... that's not exactly true. Not fully anyway." He starts, but he still doesn't look in my direction.

"You were brought into our family when you were just a child not yet old enough to realise what was happening." He turns around and my eyes widen. Is this... my dream?

I pick up a small glass and go over to the kitchen, filling up with water to try push away the dizziness.

I walk back into the living room where Ghostbur sits on the sofa, Philza pacing back and forth. I take a sip of the water and firmly grip the glass in my hands.

"Well? Who is it then? If you're not my dad then who is?" I question, causing Philza to take a deep breath. Ghostbur places a hand on my shoulder.

"You're real dad is a man named Sam... Sam Nook."

I freeze. The glass falling from my hands as I stand in shock. The man from my dream, the man who fought with us in the Pogtopia vs Manburg war. That's him. That's why when he saw me, he kept staring at me as if he'd seen me before.

"Why... why didn't you tell me Phil? And please, spare me the bullshit." I run a hand through my hair as I pace back and forth in front of the sofa.

"He couldn't take care of you. When I found out, I chose to take you in. Give you a better life even. After you were born, your mother left home and never came back. She left you with your dad but he was struggling with food and supplies. I had to step in." Philza tells me and I feel my eyes begin to water.

I never really get too emotional but this time, I can't help it.

"This is bullshit! Why did you never tell me? You should have told me! I had the right to know and instead, all this time you had me believing that I had a family who loved me! Now my 'older brother's is dead. Techno tried to kill me multiple times and I haven't seen Tommy in months!" I burst out as everyone in the room stays quiet.

"And do you know why Phil? Because I died. I fucking died and now that I'm back, no one cares!" I laugh sarcastically, throwing my arms up.

I rub the side of my face, taking a large coat which was hung up, placing it over my body.

"Where are you going?" Philza asks as I open the door.

"So see my real dad."

Just before I leave, I feel a hand on my shoulder and I'm turned around, suddenly being brought into a warm embrace.

"I'm sorry I'm not your real dad. I should have told you. But we are your family. You will always have a place with us." Phil tells me and I nod my head slightly calming down.

I pull away, walking out the door and into the snow. But just before I make it to the portal, I come face to face with a familiar pink haired man.

"Hello Y/N."

"Get out of my way Techno." I grit my teeth as he blocks my way to the portal. He takes off his pig mask, looking directly at me, a lopsided smile on his face.

"I knew you'd be back." He tells me and I scoff.

"You knew did you? Is that why you tried to kill me. Twice might I add." I clench my fists remembering how he put my life on the line. All for anarchy.

"Get out of my way." I shove him to the side, walking up to the portal. He adjusts his cloak and puts his mask back on.

"Have it your way. Oh and Y/N? I'd be careful if I were you. Rumour has it, Dream has been looking for you. People think you're an impersonator of the dead Y/N. So be on the lookout." Techno tells me with a cold monotone voice.

I step through the portal and make my way through the nether towards the portal which will take me back to... my old home.

I stretch my arms as I walk through, watching as people in the distance shout and cause trouble.

Then I see a fire in the distance with smoke rising.

I run as fast as I can to try get there in time but when I do, I see George. He stares at his home which is now ruined from the fire.

I quickly find a bucket, filling it with water from the pond, repeatedly throwing the water onto the fire until it eventually dies out.

"Y/N? You're back?!" George turns to me in shock. I simply nod my head but shrug it off. "What happened here?"

"I dunno. Someone burned my house down I guess. I don't know why because I didn't do anything." George tells me with sadness laced within his voice.

"I know who it was." A new voice says and I turn around to face a young male in a colourful hoodie with a swirl pattern on it. I've never seen him before.

"You saw them Karl? Who was it?" George asks as Karl steps towards us.

"It was Tommyinnit."

I let out an inaudible gasp as George looks at Karl in disbelief. "How you you know?"

"I watched him do it. I saw it with my own eyes." Karl says, genuine. He isn't lying. I can tell by the look on his face. But why would Tommy even do that?

I look over at George who still has a sad look on his face. I place a hand on his shoulder as he stares at the demolished house.

"I think it's about time we have a word with L'manburg's president."
