Healing Scars (Sequel to Wounds of Pain)

(5) Kidnapped

Tubbo awoke in a room he was unfamiliar with. He couldn't see anything, or speak. He tried moving but realized quickly that he was tied up. "I wouldn't even try that. I've secured your wrists to the back of that chair pretty tightly." Tubbo froze upon hearing the voice.

"You really thought you'd get away, didn't you? Well unfortunately for you, your predictions were wrong, Toby." The person said as he took Tubbo's blindfold off.

Tubbo immediately recognized him as his own father.

Now that the blindfold was off, he could get a good look around the room. He looked down to evaluate how he was tied up. To his surprise, it didn't look like the ropes were tied very tight. His hands were just tied at the wrists behind the chair, and his ankles' bounds were looped around both chair legs and tied in knots.

"Y'know, it's really funny that you thought you'd actually get away from me, Toby."

Tubbo slowly reached his hands down as low as he could. He felt his fingers touch the ropes holding his ankles. Perfect!

"You won't ever be truly free."

He felt around the knot holding his left ankle in place. It seemed pretty tight, but he'd do his best.

"And throwing your own dad in prison? How unkind of you."

Tubbo pressed against the knot until he was able to slip his finger through. It was going great so far.

"Do you even know where you are right now?"

No, he didn't. But he wasn't going to give that man any response. He kept his finger in place in the knot, and used the other hand to slowly untie it.

"Poor little Tubbo. Poor lamb."

Finally, the first knot came undone. He moved his hands over to the second one.

"Nobody will find you down here."

Once again, he managed to get his finger in a hole in the knot.

"How will your friends ever know where to look?"

He started untying it slowly.

"None of them ever cared about you, Tub."

Tubbo flinched, being called by the nickname Wilbur had given him. Shit.

His father chuckled. "Can't even untie a simple knot."

Tubbo ignored him and started over, working much faster.

"You almost done, there?"

Finally, Tubbo got it untied.

Before he could do anything, his father kicked the chair away, ultimately making Tubbo fall down. He then yanked him up by the wrists. "Tired of sitting? Let me show you around your new home. Your new future."

They walked out of that creepy room he was stuck in and walked down some halls. Eventually they got to a huge door where he had to put in a code to get in. When they walked in, Tubbo was horrified.

The walls were filled with glass cages of people with animal features. "I've been working on a little something." His dad said. "In case you didn't notice, there's something new about me."

Tubbo looked up, and only now did he notice the huge, ram-like horns on the side of his head.

His dad grabbed his wrist tighter and continued dragging him through the room. "So, Tubbo, what's your favorite animal?"

Tommy ran to Wilbur's house. He banged on the door, until Wilbur finally answered. "What is it, Tomm-" "Let me in Wilbur! This is important!"

Wilbur let Tommy in and shut the door behind them. "What is it?" He asked.

"So, last night, when you left me and Tubbo, we decided to stay up a bit later-"

"Tommy, I told you to get good sleep, why didn't you listen?"

"That isn't the point. Anyways, we kept hanging out and eventually got into a big fight-"

"Tommy, I'm not gonna solve you and Tubbo's little argument. You need to deal with it yourself." Wilbur said as he started walking away.

"Tubbo's gone, Wil!"

Wilbur froze. "What do you mean, he's gone?"

"He- He just decided to leave last night, take a walk. He hasn't come back!"

"Well, we need to find him. Let's let all the others know and discuss it there." Wilbur suggested.

"Okay. That sounds alright." Tommy said, as he got out his phone to alert the others.
