Return

Chapter 6

TW: swearing

Tommy POV

I sat watching a show about birds on the small glowing tv in the upstairs living room. I saw Ranboo walk past me and down the stairs. I sat with my eyes lingering on the stairway for a few moments before going back to watching the show playing in front of me.

After about two hours of watching random shit, I decided to go to my bedroom and try to get some sleep. My alarm clock read 7:46. A bit early for my preference, but it was already getting dark and the day had been eventful. I laid still staring at the ceiling for what felt like an eternity before it struck me. Ranboo had never come back up the stairs.

I jumped out of bed, the time on my clock now said 8:19. I quickly moved over to the stairway and slid down the polished wood railing that curved down one side. I checked downstairs to see if he had fallen asleep on the couch or in one of the extra rooms, but he wasn't there. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Where the hell is he?

I walked outside, cautiously peeking around corners. If I knew my brother, he was probably going to be either a-sleeping in a strange place or b-in an enderwalk. I looked cautiously around the back corner of the house to see him sleeping at one of the picnic tables. I was debating whether or not to wake him up when I saw the small blip of a purple particle appear above his head. That answered that question.

I turned around and ran back inside as quietly as I could, shutting the door tightly behind me and locking it. I walked around on the main floor for a few minutes, double-checking to make sure all of the doors were shut and locked.

I decided to ask Tubbo if Ranboo had ever gone into an enderwalk here. I ran up the stairs and down to the end of the hall. Pushing open the bedroom door I ran over to the bed and shook Tubbo awake, putting one hand over his mouth as he began to speak.

"Ranboo is in an enderwalk" I whispered. Tubbo quietly got out of bed and motioned for me to follow him.

We went downstairs and Tubbo led me to Fundys room. He gently knocked on the door and the fluffy orange figure opened it a moment later. Tubbo whispered something to Fundy, who perked up immediately and ducked back into the dark room, returning with a small case. We went to the kitchen and I watched as he opened it up, revealing a small gun. Multiple small darts sat in a neat row. At one end they had a sharp needle and the other a small purple tuft.

"These won't kill him, but they will knock him out. After last time we decided to test out the effect of different tranquilizers. This one will knock him out with little to no negative effects," he explained, loading one of the small darts into the gun and locking it in place with a small click.

"Wait, what happened last time?" I asked, slightly concerned for my brother.

"Unimportant," Fundy replied, walking away.

"How many times has he gone into an enderwalk since he came here?" I asked, hoping for a real response this time.

"Six that we know of. Two of those times one of us has gotten hurt," Fundy responded as he sat down on the couch.

"Wait, what? Who got hurt? Was it bad?" I rambled off all of my questions at once, only stopping when Tubbo put a hand on my shoulder.

"I suppose you would like some explanations," Tubbo said calmly, sitting down next to Fundy.
