My Biggest Mistake (DreamSMP)

I've Been Lost Ever Since You Found Me - Part Two

I expected to fly to L'Manburg in about half an hour, but it'll take much longer now that we have to walk. I won't be able to fly with three kids.

'Phil?' Tommy jogs a little until he's walking next to me. 'Wilbur wrote in his letter that it can help to talk about,' He licks his lips and hesitates. 'stuff.'

I smile and extend my wing behind him, it's mostly out of habit, but also because I notice his growing sorrow. 'That depends on what that "stuff" is.'

Tommy looks at Tubbo and Ranboo, who are walking quite far in front of us. They've already become very good friends, and it's only been a single day.

Tommy stares at the ground. 'It's about what happened whilst we were with Quackity.'

'In that case, it could help, I know it helped Wilbur. It's always worth trying.' I glance at Tommy, who hasn't taken his eyes off of the ground yet and wrap my wing around his shoulder. 'Take your time, okay? We're still hours away from L'Manburg at this rate.'

He looks up at me and smiles before drowning back into whatever dark thoughts there must be in his mind.

'Wilbur usually took the blame for me, so the first time Quackity hurt me, was two years after he took us away from our house.'

'What the fuck, Tommy? You have to stop stealing any food you see!'

Wil walks up to me and shakes me by my shoulders, I turn away from him. 'I was hungry, Wilby!'

Wilby sighs and I feel my entire body cover in goosebumps after hearing the door behind me unlock and open with a creak.

I breathe in the sickening smell of smoke before being pushed back by Wil. I'm surprised to not see him back away into the corner this time and instead, stand in front of me with trembling legs.

'Which one of you sneaked into the kitchen to steal food? Just tell me, I won't be mad.' Quackity smiles whilst staring at Wilby. I'd believe him if he hadn't said that a million times before and proceeded to be mad anyway.

'I did.' Wil takes a step towards Quackity and lowers his head, knowing what is coming. I don't know what's coming, but I do feel bad for Wil.

My heart calms down now that I won't get hurt, but I'm not looking forward to spending the next couple of hours alone in this cold cell.

'Thank you for your honesty, but I will have to punish you.' Quackity walks up to Wilby and grabs his arm tight, which hurts Wilby and he lets out a soft shriek. 'Time to visit another prisoner, Wilbur.'

The anger that has been building up in my throat finally reaches my tongue and I take a step forward. 'Wait!'

Quackity ignores me and right before he closes the door, I turn invisible and walk past him, hoping he doesn't notice.

I stare at Quackity whose smile disappears. 'You little fucking gremlin, you better reveal yourself before I make you.'

Wil tries to get out of Quackity's grip. 'No don't hurt him! He doesn't realise what he's doing!'

'Fundy!' Quackity yells through the hallway angrily, making me freeze in place and shiver.

Darkness washes over me, the tingling in my body disappears and is replaced by numbness. It feels as if I'm dreaming, the world around me looks the same, but I don't quite recognise it.

The world grows black and the face of Wilby fades away, before turning back to normal in a split second. I howl from Quackity snatching my arm and he yanks me through the hallways. I look behind me to see Wil being forced back into our room by Fundy.
