17- Seperated

George peeked his eyes open, and the first thing he noticed was that Clay wasn't there.

"Clay..?" He whined out. There was no response.

He stood up and scanned more through the room. He wasn't in the cell he was in yesterday, instead a small compact room with a table and light.

The door creaked open and a brunette entered.

"Where am I Wilbur?!"

"I let you have your time with Clay, now your going to be alone for awhile."

George saw him sit in a chair on the other side of the table, so George looked behind himself to see a chair for him as well.

"Seat?" Wilbur offered. George rolled his eyes and flopped down into the wooden chair.

"Where is Clay..?"

"In another room, I'll let him wander freely since he can't find you either way."

George didn't like how this was going.

———————————————————————

Clay awoke on hard, cold surface. A boy was standing over him.

"George..?" He whispered out.

"Wakey Wakey sleepyhead," an annoyed Wilbur called out.

Clay sat up straight and glared at Wilbur.

"What do you want from us?!"

"I want something from you, but I have to wait for awhile, so make yourself at home, Dream."

How?!

Clay scoffed and stood up, still glaring at the brunette.

"Can I go outside, I swear I'll stay in the area."

"Yea sure go ahead."

Clay smirked and raced out of the room, pushing Wilbur over.

He raced down a few halls until he came to the front door.

He rested his hand on the knob and slowly turned it, revealing the early morning sky. It was only sunrise.

He stepped out of the door frame and closed the door. He turned back to the beautiful scene and took a heavy inhale, inhaling the beautiful morning scents.

He saw a nearby patch of blue flowers.

Clay bent down and plucked one from the patch, examining it. It was different shades of blue, almost hypnotizing.

He smirked and slid the flower into his cloak pocket before turning to the door and heading inside.

I can gain his trust..then I'll leave and get help

———————————————————————

Clay arrived back in the small room and waited for the brunette.

He sat down in the wooden chair and stared down at the wooden table. Every small crack and line could be noticeable in the intimidating light.

Clay slid his hand against the rough edge, slightly cutting his palm. He let out a small grunt of pain and looked up at the door, growing insanely impatient.

Finally the door opened and the brunette walked in. He tramped over to the blonde and slammed his hands on the hard table.

"Clay! I have an offer for you!" Wilbur smiled.

"What."

"I'll let you outside again if you donate blood every time!"

"Ok?"

And with that, Wilbur was gone again. Clay was very confused on what Wilbur was going on about, but decided to ignore it and examine the room.

It was small, box like. It was pretty empty, except for the small window.

Clay walked over to the window and stared out at the forest. He felt a dark presence behind him but said nothing.

"Ya know.." a familiar voice breathed out, "sometimes I wonder how you can even see me."

"Maybe your like a unspoken god?"

"Maybe."

The older sighed and looked down at his pale hands. He looked dead as dead will make you.

"I always get called 'DreamXD' in my time."

"Why's that?"

The other reached into his pocket from under his large cloak and retrieved a mask. The mask had blood stains and a small crack. It also had a few burn marks.

"What..h-happened..?"

"You'll see," the other just growled at him and shined the mask at Clay. It looked like a smile face, but was hand carved into a 'XD' face.

"Call me DreamXD."

Clay nodded and felt the presence fade, leaving him alone again. He turned back to the face the room.

XD appeared again, this time with another boy. The boy looked younger, but very angelic. He stared down at the ground, not looking up to meet Clay's eyes when he noticed him.

"Who's that?" Clay asked. XD sighed quietly and reached out for the boy's hand, grabbing it and giving it a reassuring squeeze.

The boy finally looked up and looked Clay straight in the eyes, startling Clay slightly.

The boy's features where barely visible with how pale he was, but he had a caramel and sky blue eye. He was also a fluffy haired brunette. Faint freckles scanned his cheeks.

He wore a plain, baby blue shirt and white hoodie over it, with black sweatpants. He had small, deer like horns on his head, parted towards the side. He also had wings similar to XD, except his where more 'little kid drawing' looking.

G-George..?
