-:-Dream POV-:-

I wake up in a dark room, the only sources of light coming from a skylight in the middle of the ceiling. I'm strapped to a chair, both my arms and legs restricted. How did she manage to knock me out in a split second? She moved so fast, it caught me off guard. I swear if she did something to Y/N-

Eret.

That son of a bitch. I would say I'm surprised, but I'm really not. Although Eret still cared about Y/N, he did change when he had disappeared, although that time seems like a lifetime ago. Y/N never saw it, but Eret was literally tortured in his time of disappearance. He's never going to be the same Eret Y/N was friends with. I just wish she could see that, because Eret is going to be her weakness in this whole situation, not to mention Cara.

Cara. The girl that Y/N told me so much but so little about. Cara doesn't seem like the girl Y/N described, in fact she seems like the opposite, evil and unhinged. If she's working with Eret, then this is going to be a pain in the ass. I gotta admit, the man's a genius, in a way.

"Dream?" a familiar voice beckons.

Ranboo.

He's across the room from me, in a chair, a concerned expression on his face. The guy's a mess, he's bruised everywhere, not to mention the layer of dirt that covers his body from head to toe.

"Dream, why are you here?" he asks, after moments of confusing silence.

"Why am I here? Why are you here Ranboo? HOW are you here?" I snap, startling him a bit. He seems so skittish, I can't imagine what these people have put him through(mainly Eret and Cara).

I wouldn't be surprised if Eret tortured Ranboo with no remorse; "the abused become the abusive", it's the cold heart truth. Eret tends to dwell on the past. Ranboo may have been a toy for Eret to take his past anger out on.

"I asked first." He smiles, it's an actual genuine smile.

"I'm here to save Y/N." I mumble, not looking him in the eye.

"Y/N? She came back? Why?"

"She wanted to save you." I sigh.

His face beams with happiness. The guy has most likely recently been tortured, and he can still manage to have a smile on his face. Sometimes I wish I could do that; smile when it seems like the world around you is falling apart right in front of you.

I'm surprised he's not afraid of me, he used to be. He used to cower and cry at just the sound of my voice, which he used to hear in his head all the time. I've definitely affected many people, mentally. I tortured Tommy, and now every time my name is said, he'll wince at the memory of the pain I caused him. I don't feel bad, he ruined me, he ruined my chances of being happy. He ruined the friendships I had. He started everything, he's the reason for most of the wars, and nothing will change my mind on that.

Sometimes I wish Y/N had just killed Tommy while she had the chance. Trust me, when she let him go, I thought about killing him myself, leaving no loose ends behind. Unfortunately at the time, I respected her opinion, but I wish I didn't. He hurt her in so many ways, killing her sister being the main reason she wanted him dead. All that hard work, wasted. All of the months she spent planning her takeover, planning her kill, all of it was wasted when she put her sword away and told Tommy to leave, before she changed her mind.

Maybe that's what makes her stronger than me, the fact that she can let something go so easily, even when justice was right in front of her face. I would've killed him, I know I would've. That's what makes us different, deep down I will always be just a little bit evil. But her, she'll always be kind, even when she doesn't think she is. She chose me, when she could've had a person like Eret, who would put her needs before his own in an instant. Me, I'd tear the world apart if I had to, just to keep her safe. But in the end, my selfish conscience would take over, and the nightmare in me would take over. I pray that won't happen, although I don't even believe in a god.

I would die for her.

"Me? Why?" Ranboo asked, snapping me back to reality.

"She said you saved her, she felt like she owed you." I mumbled. He could tell I wasn't that interested in speaking to him. I don't hate him, never have, a part of me envies him, and I hate it.

He doesn't reply.

"You should feel lucky, if I was her, I wouldn't have tried to save you." As soon as those words came out of my mouth, I regretted it, but I'm not going to apologize, because it's true. If I were Y/N, I would have left him to die, no hesitation, but again, that's what makes Y/N and I different.

"She should have left while she had the chance, the girl won't give up till she has her." Ranboo sighs, he looks disappointed in himself.

"Cara? Yeah, we had a nice first impression of her." I roll my eyes.

"So that's her name. What does she want with Y/N?"

"Cara is her dead sister, who I guess isn't really dead." I laugh, not a genuine laugh, more of an annoyed laugh.

"Oh wow, now that's a plot twist." He giggles. There he goes again, being able to smile in such an unhappy situation.
"Indeed."

"Is she okay?" he asks.

"No clue, I got knocked out by the crazy bitch and woke up here." I explained.

"She'll be okay Dream, she's a strong person." He reassures me, which makes my heart warm for a minute. I don't know why. "I know you care about her."

"Yeah, I really do." I mutter.

More than anyone will ever understand.
