Winter’s POV:

My breath hitched in my throat, eyes widening.

“Get away from her.” I said, gripping my blades harder.

“You’re in no position to make demands, Winter.” he pushed his axe further towards Demetria’s neck. If she even moved an inch, the skin would break.

“What do you want Dream?” my blood was boiling at the thought of him hurting Demetria.

“You aren’t leaving Winter.” he stated, axe dangerously close to slitting Demetria’s throat.

“Infact, you’re going to come with me,” I felt my fingers twitch, itching to murder him. “Or I kill your little friend here.”

My mind started to rush through the possibilities of what could happen in the next half a minute. I could say no and Demetria dies, except I don’t know how many lives she has. I also have no guarantee that Dream will uphold his end of the deal.

“You better think quicker, Winter.” Dream said, bringing his blade ever closer to breaking the skin of Demetria’s neck.

“Yes! I’ll do it…” I burst out, not being able to bear seeing Demetria get hurt any longer. Dream relaxed his axe from her neck and I raced towards them.

“Can I just talk to her?” I asked quietly as I approached.

“Two minutes.” he said, voice triumphant.

I turned to Demetria and hugged her, squeezing harder than ever, tears threatening to fall from my eyes.

“Why’d you do it?” she whispered into my ear, her voice sounding as choked as my own.

“I couldn’t let him hurt you. I just couldn’t.” I said, leaning back to look her in the eyes. I wish I could just stay like this forever.

“Why?” she whispered sadly, a tear rolling down her cheek.

“Because I love you.” I said looking at her beautiful face.

She smiled softly and I reached my hand to cup her cheek, wiping a tear from her eye.

“I love you too.” she mumbled, putting a hand over mine.

“Can I?” I asked quietly. She simply nodded and closed her eyes.

I brought my face to hers and kissed her.

I was startled when Dream spoke after a few seconds.

“Times up, birdie.” he said, leaning against a tree. I nodded at him and turned to Demetria one last time.

I pulled a feather out of my wing with a wince.

“Take this to Pogtopia and show Techno, he’ll understand.” I said, pressing it into her hand.

“And tell Tommy that I’m sorry.” I said, standing next to Dream. He gripped my upper arm and flung an ender pearl into the trees as a tear rolled down my face.

“You made the right choice birdie.” was all I heard before a pain in the back of my head and the world going black.
