Chapter 3 - The voice's harmony

When Techno arose the next morning so did the voices. It had seemed that they had returned while he was sleeping.

"Ughhhhh" he groaned. He was not at all pleased to say that they were back and chanting some weird word in harmony. He did recognise the word though, it was something Tommy said quite often, not that he knew what it meant, 'Pogchamp'. Couldn't say he was looking forward to dealing with this crap again.

After putting a different shirt on and some shoes he started to go down the creaky stairs and see what the family had to eat for breakfast. He doubted there would be much in honesty, just like previous mornings.

However despite the food shortage they had, Techno always made sure there was something in for a morning snack, maybe an apple or two to share between the three of them. With Tommy usually having a slightly larger portion than the older brothers.

Speaking of the little raccoon boy, he was sitting at the table with what seemed to be two wooden figures playing by himself. Despite him being 15 he had quite the imagination, it was almost cute to see the scenes he could make up with the simplistic wooden figures Wilbur and Techno had carved for him.

Tommy seemed to be too immersed in his little world to notice his big brother move into the storage room. "Hmm" Techno hummed in amusement while grabbing an apple from a cupboard to cut into an even share for the three.

"Shut up" He whispered as the voices said something stupid along the lines of 'apples am I right?'.

"They pretty bad today huh?" An echoey voice spoke from behind him making the half Piglin jump slightly. Goddamn it Wilbur, this man really did like to spook others with his ability to shift into rooms without a sound.

"Ye, I guess they are" Techno replied shortly. "I didn't even notice you were there Wilbur, also you do realise Tom is in the other room?"

Wilbur giggled as he answered "I do, but there's no way he'll hear what we're saying. He's too interested in his 'toys'."

Techno always thought it was best Tommy didn't know about the voices that haunted him. He didn't want to freak Tommy out when he talked to himself at times or perhaps ranted about what they would say during the day.

Not that he wanted Wilbur to ever find out either, however when you have a brother who can phase through walls and turn invisible it becomes difficult to hide the fact that you're talking to yourself.

Wilbur did help though. Especially when the voices occasionally decided that they wanted blood. Now, that was something even Techno feared. They would start to control him, making him try to slaughter anything in his path.

That night around 4 years ago, Wilbur found the man who had saved him huddled in the corner of his room clutching his head, while sobbing and whispering to himself. He had comforted him and was able to bring the older hybrid to his senses. It was obvious after Techno had regained his control that he had to tell the young Phantom what the hell he had witnessed.

Either way Wilbur was always good at helping Techno with the voices when they got out of control. They did on the other hand both agree that Tommy wasn't ready to know about the ruthlessness of the voices inside Techno's head.

"Don't make fun of him Will, you used to love those figures too when you first came here" Techno teased the Phantom.

"I-I..." The cheeks of Wilbur started to glow a darker blue, indicating he was blushing. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Heh, sure dude" Techno giggled as he threw part of the apple he was cutting up to Will while starting to devour his own piece.

As he moved to the door he passed the table Tommy was sitting at again, and while he thought of throwing Tom's share of the apple to him, he knew that the youngest brother was awful at catching and the food would most likely end up on the floor and not be edible. Instead he placed it in front of him making Tommy look up from his fantasy world.
