Revolution

Chapter 15

"Geez, this is a bloodbath." Dream heard someone say, footsteps coming closer to him as he desperately tried to stop the bleeding. "Oh, some of you are still alive?" He turned his head, being met with a smiling man above him. A skeleton with black tears constantly running out of his eyes down his cheeks. 

"Killer?" Dream asked, wanting to make sure this was the same guy.

"That's my name, what else did you want?" Killer asked, seeming to enjoy the fact that someone knew his name like he was a celebrity. 

"My name is Dream, we were actually looking for you. Blue- you've met his brother, he told us you could help." The prince tried to explain, his head was spinning, desperately trying to function. The loss of blood was really getting to him. 

"Woah, stop talking dude. You'll die, uh, here, let me help you and your friends. We can talk about this later." All Dream could do was smile, a genuine smile, his friends, they could survive. He watched Killer tend to his friends, he could hear him talking, but couldn't make out what he was saying. The golden prince tried to focus on his breathing, trying to stay awake. 

He wasn't very good at that.

Dream turned a bit before finally opening his eyes, gasping for air like he had just woken up from a nightmare. He was laying on a blanket on a wooden floor, the wood clearly rotting. Next to him was a lamp with a small light still dancing around inside. Next to him was Blue, and next to Blue Error was there. They both were still out, Dream decided not to wake them. 

"You're finally up." Dream turned in a flash, trying to figure out who was talking to him. When he saw those tears everything came back to him, were his friends sleeping, or were they dead? "I know what you're thinking, but don't worry, your friends survived." A wave of relief washed over the prince, he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. "I'm glad you're awake, I have so many questions for you. You're lucky I didn't just leave you all to die." Killer added, even though this could sound like a threat, it just made Dream even more grateful.

"I'll be happy to answer all your questions!" Dream replied, smiling up at the other who just sighed.

"I think I know who that kid's brother is, are you guys from the kingdom right next to us?" Killer asked, looking into the other's eyes, he clearly wanted the pure and honest truth.

"Well, Blue is, I'm from a different kingdom, and I don't think Error is from any kingdom. Well, as far as I know." Killer nodded, staring at the two still sleeping.

"And why were you guys looking for me?" Killer asked another question, although Dream wasn't surprised.

"Oh, well you see I'm not from here. I'm from a different kingdom across the sea. I was brought here for an arranged marriage, but ran off. We came to look for you, we'll need help if we want to start a rebellion of sorts. Well, more like we want to get rid of the king of where I'm from." Dream stopped himself from continuing, it would just turn into a confusing ramble.

Killer would ask other small questions and Dream would answer them, after that they became smaller, Dream only answered in a couple words. 

"Wait, will you help us on our journey?" Dream asked, realizing he was sharing a lot of information while he didn't even know if Killer would support them. Killer thought for a moment before turning back to Dream.

"I've got nothing else to do, I'll join you guys." Killer shrugged, Dream's smile was so wide his eyes and nose scrunched up. "Oh it's not that big of a deal, we won't be able to move for awhile though. Your friends need some time to heal." Dream turned back to his friends, his expression softened.

"Yeah, I suppose we can wait here and create an even better plan, right?" Dream asked, still trying to remain positive. Killer wanted to strangle and hug the boy at the same time. 

"Of course, what else would we do?" He asked, rolling his eyes, Dream just smiled at him again. This kid got shot in the leg and his friends almost died, why is he smiling? Killer thought this guy might be more insane than him.
