Luminescent Alliums.

Chapter 6 - Tommybloodyinnit

In the long run, the most unpleasant truth is a safer companion than a pleasant falsehood. Right now Ranboo would rather a pleasant lie. Especially as he headed to Tommy's house, his eyes trained on the prime path the entire house, it wasn't that he was ashamed. Scratch that he was ashamed, he knew Techno would be ashamed of him. But Dream was not someone who should ever get out of prison. Ranboo understood that Quackity was torturing him in there and he did take away Tubbo. But Dream would have done the same to Tommy if he had won the disc war, wouldn't he?

Techno was only obliged to help him because of a favour right?

The revive book was worthless now, although Tommy would mumble on occasion about someone called Mexican Dream. So why was Dream alive still?

Tommy was probably asking himself the same thing. Ranboo felt guilty for withholding so much information that he had access to for so long. At least he was going to clear it up now. Maybe even get an ally, hopefully. He pulled out one of his many books, this had everything, everything. That Tommy needed, maybe they could even prepare themselves for when Dream gets out.

Maybe Ranboo should come clean with Tommy completely.

That was a stupid thought, yeah sure and have Tommy turn on him in fear of Ranboo siding with Dream. He understood why Tommy would be suspicious, he was working with Wilbur after all.

He needed to come clean with Tommy. Ranboo could smell the flowers he had planted around Tommy's house, after Tommy died. It was sweet, all of the sudden he saw a name tagged spider scuttle past the house. Ranboo ducked.

Was that Shroud?

He looked back to see the spider was gone.

Maybe not

When Ranboo reach Tommy's house he saw

Nothing

"Tommy?" he called out, no one was home. Ranboo rushed inside. Shroud was gone. He never was let out after dark. Ranboo checked his chests.

Empty

Had Tommy caught wind about Dream's fake escape? Had he just up and left in fear? Ranboo looked everywhere. There was no sign of the loud brit anywhere. Tommy's bed wasn't even there. Maybe he really did leave. But Tommy was never scared. Ranboo's mind flashed back to when he had first seen Tommy after his revival, he was afraid of the pain, he was afraid.

If Dream could do that to him once. He would do it to him again.

Shit.

Dammit he needed to tell someone that Tommy was missing. Tommy.

Ranboo ran as fast as he could.

Someone needed to know about this.

Someone who knew exactly where Tommy would go.
