My Family (Sally The Salmon)

• Chapter 25 •

(3rd Person POV)

"You have a traitor in your midst."

Everyone was shocked, exept one. "What?" Quackity asked. "Who is it? Tell us." Tommy demanded. Dream laughed "I'm not telling you who the traitor is. It'll ruin all the fun."

"However, I will say that the traitor in your ranks will be more surprising than Eret." Then he left.

"Well... Okay... Guess we have a traitor now..." Then Quackity turned to Fundy with narrowed eyes "Seems kinda suspicious that you'd come crawling to us now."

"I've spent months gathering crucial information for you all! Do you really think I'd do all that just to betray you again?" Fundy defended himself. Sally shook her head "No, it's not Fundy. I'm sure of it."

"How are you so sure?" Tommy asked her. "I just am. It's not my son." Then Wilbur spoke "All I know is that it's not me. I've already said I want to blow the whole place up, you can't get any more traitorous than that."

Quackity sighed "We can't trust anyone."

"No." Tommy piped up. "That's just what Dream wants us to think. We can't afford to turn on eachother! We have ten days."

"Ten days until the end."

(Timeskip)

Ten days.

This is it.

November the 16th.

Wilbur was talking with Tommy and Sally. They were just going back from checking on Manberg. There was a storm just yesterday, they managed to secure everything. But they wanted to see if the storm had affected Manberg. It didn't.

By the war was today. And they all knew that. No matter the weather, there will be a war today.

"This is it. This is where we take it all back. Either that, or we get nothing."

"How do we know you're not the traitor?" Tommy asked skeptically. Wilbur shrugged "I could be. You wouldn't know."

He didn't say no.
Sally thought. She doesn't know how to explain it. But she's been getting a gut feeling. A feeling that the traitor is either Tommy or Wilbur. She hasn't told anyone, but she doesn't know how long she can keep the secret hidden.

"What about you, Sally? Are you the traitor?" Tommy asked her. Sally sighs "I'm not." Wilbur laughed "She's not lying. Because if she was she'd say 'I'm not, TommyInnit' I noticed that about her."

I shake my head and laugh "I do not do that, Wilbur. No I don't." He just laughed and said "You just said 'Wilbur'!"

"That has nothing to do with it!"

He just keeps laughing at me. Then he calmed down an turned to Tommy and said "Anyway. It's been a long time coming. This war. If this doesn't go well, I'm blowing the place to smithereens. But it will go well. Do you know why?" Tommy shrugged and said "Why is it gonna go well?" Wilbur laughed

"Because there's no one on Schlatt's side. Not Tubbo, not Fundy, not even Quackity! And the people pretending to be on Schlatt's side, they don't care! Yeah, sure, some of them may be more skilled. And sure, they all have a unifying cause. But, none of then have the same anticipitory love of what they're doing like us. Everyone on our side is fighting for something they love and had for ages! That's why we're gonna win! And that's why you shouldn't be afraid. And yes, the whole place is rigged. Do you know how many stacks of TNT I got in the end? Sally can tell you."

Tommy looks at the redhead expectedly. She sighs and said "11 and a half stacks of TNT. That's about 736." Tommy's eyes widen. "Eleven and a half stacks?!" He asked in disbeleif.

Wilbur nodded excitedly and said "Yes! Me, with the help of my lovely wife, got two double-chests of sand. Then Dream came up and gave us many, many, stacks of gunpowder. So we just put then together and that's how many we got. I'm just telling you, you shouldn't be worried. You shouldn't be afraid. And y'know what, at the end of the day, Tommy. I would say we got eachother, but we don't."

Then Wilbur turned to Sally, who had raised eyebrows. He put a hand on her cheek and said  "But, of course, you have me, my love. And you're the only person I trust, at the moment."

"Anyways, let's go find Techno."

As they were walking, Wilbur suddenly said "I hate armor. Have I told you how much I hate armor?" Sally laughed and said "Yes you have." But Tommy was confused and said "Is that why you don't wear any?"

"I just don't like it." Sally laughed and whispered to Tommy "Had him wear a chestplate once. He said it was so heavy he fell over 4 times." Tommy loudly laughed and Wilbur said "You know I heard you!"

"Did he really? Wilby you're so-"

"Did you just call me Wilby?" Tommy's face reddened of embarrasment and he said "NO! I SAID WILBU-"

"Did you just fucking call me Wilby?"

"I did not call you Wilby!"

"You just called me Wilby!"

"You are a bitch!"

Then Wilbur ruffled Tommy's hair and said "You can call me Wilby, Toms. No need to get embarassed. Sally calls me Wilby all the time." Sally blushed and covered her face with her hands in embarassment. "Shut up, it's basically a reflex for me.." The laughed at her. Then she got pissed

"Atleast I'm not the one who screams my name everytime we-"

Then an arrow whizzes past Sally's hair. "Oh shit! We gotta run!" Wilbur grabbed both their wrists and ran the opposite direction.

While they were running, Sally looked back to see... Schlatt? In full netherite? No way, her eyes are deceiving her. He was definately in full netherite, staring them down with a bow.

(Timeskip)

Once they got back they were arguing about the plan again.

"We can win this war without any explosives Wilbur- I mean dad!" Wilbur merely rolled his eyes. Then he noticed Technoblade and asked

"Hey, big brother-"

"Don't call me that."

"-What was it you said about violence and language?"

"The only universal language is violence?" Techno said with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah, that one! That means I need to blow everything up with TNT!" Then everyone, except Techno and Sally, started protesting.
