Why Did You Save Me.....?

Taunting The Thief

Purpled tensed up.

"I-I'm sorry, can you repeat that again?" He asked.
"Song bird..." Tommy said again.

Purpled went silent.

How the hell does he know that?! No one has spoken that word since.......

he looked back up at Tommy.

"Since her majesty's death..." he mumbled.

Tommy raised an eyebrow.

"Since The Who and the what now?" He asked. Purpled took a deep breath.

"Tommy...the word Songbird....it's not used anymore..." Tommy gave a frown.

"Why not?" He asked. Purpled bit his lip.

"For reasons I cannot tell you.." he said.

Tommy noticed the change in tone of his words.
His mother's words were forbidden....but why?
He wondered.

"Tommy, how do you know that word?" He asked. Tommy just kept quiet.

Think of something! Anything! Quick!

"Well um, I like birds and I like songs so I Uh, decided to combine the two!" He half smiled. Purpled just raised an eyebrow but decided to ignore it.

Tommy saw that Purpled had bought his white lie and a wave of relief washed over him. There was still one question remaining in his head.

Who is this majesty? Why is my mom's word banned?

He just couldn't believe that a simple word such as that could not be spoken in such a large Kingdom. He took what was explained to be called a crayon and started drawing a picture.

While Purpled watched him, he decided to have a little chat.

Not with him however,

but with the voices in his head.

"Hello?" He called out. His voice bounced around in the darkness.

Soon a strange voice appeared in front of him.
It was hard to describe and even more difficult to know what it was. He looked up at it.

The voice sat down beside him.

"Hello Tommy..."

it was sort of distorted and Tommy could barely make the words it spouted make sense.

"Tommy, you messed up, you honestly think that you can be normal? Please don't make us laugh! You and your childish thoughts are so naive. Tommy you just need to give in, what's stopping you?!"

Tommy began thinking.

What was stopping him? Why didn't he just give in? Why couldn't he just escape the light to live in a world full of darkness?

He paused for a moment.

"Well?" He looked back up at it, his blue ocean eyes transforming. He swore he could feel it smile.

"That's it...give in!" It hissed.

Blood-thirsty red eyes filled his once sky blue eyes.

He couldn't feel anything.

"Tommy?" Tommy blinked a couple of times.
He looked towards Purpled.

His eyes seemed worried. "What?" He asked.

He looked towards his drawing. His eyes widened.

What the hell?

A figure with blood-curdling eyes was drawn, a merciless smile following it. Tommy felt so annoyed.

YOU BITCHES!!! WHY DO THEY HAVE TO KNOW?!!??!

They all just laughed in his head.

"What is this Tommy?" Purpled asked.

His voice was traced with hints of concern as Tommy head stiffened with fear.

"I-it's a monster...." He quickly lied. Purpled raised an eyebrow.

"And which mob might it be?" Purpled asked. It was Tommy's turn to raise an eyebrow.

"Mob? What is that?"

"A mob is a hostile creature. It can hurt you, torture you, and even kill you.." he explained.

"Can you name a mob?" He asked. Purpled nodded.

"There's the most common one, a Zombie. Zombies are the undead who have no brains. They feast of human brain and attack them at all costs."

Tommy nodded. "Uh, well this one I just made up...." He said. Purpled nodded.

A knock interrupted their awkward conversation and Purpled replied with a "Come in".

Philza emerged from the doorway and Purpled immediately bowed in his presence.

Tommy still didn't understand these strange gestures and why they were done everytime Phil or Techno or Wil arrived.

"Hello Purpled. Hi Tommy. How is your first day?" He asked. "Uh it's going good," Tommy said, a little bit unsure of how to respond.

Phil just nodded then talked with Purpled for little bit while Tommy just sat there feeling left out.
Phil then called him.

"It's Lunchtime. Tommy your lessons end here for today. Can you Thank Mr. Purpled for your lesson today?" He asked.

"Thank you." Tommy said. Purpled smiled.

Tommy rushed after Phil as he walked to the dining room. He sat down in his usual spot as they all began eating.

"How was school for the first day Tommy?" Wilbur asked. "Well it was.... pretty good.."

Tommy hesitated a bit but Wilbur just shrugged it off and acted like he didn't notice.

Techno was talking to Phil and Wilbur joined in shortly after, leaving Tommy to just listen.

"Is this the third one? But it's already been two days!" Wilbur had a tone of shock.

"We still don't know how it's happening, we're still trying to figure out how and who is doing it. People say that there flint and steels were stolen, along with a couple of lava buckets. Puffy said that her lava she used was stolen just the other day." Techno said.

Tommy's ears perked up at Puffys name.

"You mean Miss Puffy got stolen from?"
Tommy asked.

"You know Miss Puffy?"
Wilbur asked. Tommy nodded.

"Met her on my errand last time I was out,"
Tommy explained. Techno just gave a huff.
Philza was however deep in thought and this Techno could see.

"Dad? What's on your mind?" Techno asked in his deep monotone voice. Phil looked at Tommy for a second then to the other two.

"Tommy, you were once a thief, correct?"

Tommy wondered why Phil was asking this question when he already knew the answer.

"Yeah, don't you know? I literally tried to steal the gems from you," Tommy responded anyway.
Phil just chuckled.

Wilbur and Techno were just wondering where their father was taking this.

"How would you like to take a little trip with me and some others?"
