The Rise ~Wilbur x oc~

22

I leant against Wilbur as he played his guitar. My eyes closed as I listened to him play and occasionally sing along to what he was playing. It was fairly late into the night, the sounds of monsters in the background.
"You seem like you're getting tired" Wil said looking at me.
"No, no I'm good, I wanna stay" I said with a small yawn making him laugh,
"Come on, I'm going to take you home" he said putting away his guitar.
"Not yet" I whined.
"Come on" he said moving the arm I was leaning on causing me to fall into his lap. He laughed moving my hair to see my face. "You can't even stay sitting up" I let out a sigh,
"Fine" I mumbled and sat up. Wilbur got up before helping me up. I pulled my cloak on and pulled the hood up to try and keep a bit more warmth.
"Wait here just a minute and I'll clear off the ones near the gate" Wilbur said pulling out a sword.
"Ok" I said rubbing my eye a bit.
"Sleepy head" he chuckled and kissed my cheek causing my face to flush again, I pulled my hood down over my face making him chuckle. Soon he called me over and I walked over to the gate, he held it open and I walked through. "Lets get you home" he said and took my hand. I smiled and nodded and we started walking back. He linked his fingers with mine and gently swung our hands back and forth as we walked.

We walked along the prime path, a zombie started heading towards us and Wil let go of my hand and pulled his sword back out. I smiled and looked at my hand which was still warm from his touch. My eyes widened as I watched as the tips of my fingers started to turn black, the darkness taking over more and more of my hand.
"Kiara!" I jumped hearing Dreams voice and quickly hid my hand underneath my cloak. "What are you still doing out here?" Dream asked with a furious tone as he walked over.
"I was just walking her home" Wilbur said walking over.
"She was supposed to be home hours ago" Dream said and I could tell he was glaring at Wilbur through the mask.
"She was with me and I was keeping her safe" Wilbur defended. Dream just shook his head.
"Well I've got it from here" he said and took hold of my shoulder before leading me towards home.
"Why didn't you go home at sunset?" Dream asked his grip leaving my shoulder.
"Wilbur was making sure I was safe, I thought it would be ok" I replied.
"Well it's not" he snapped.
"Sorry" I said quietly. Once we got back I headed straight up to my room. I threw my cloak on the chair and sat on my bed. I looked at my hand, it seemed normal just black up to my wrist. I tried not to worry about it for now and went to bed.

I woke up around noon the next day, I had hoped I was just tired and imagining things last night about my hand but unfortunately that wasn't the case. I grabbed one of my gloves and pulled it over my hand. I thought I should probably wear both so it didn't look weird. I got changed and headed downstairs.
"About time you woke up" Dream said with a laugh. I let out a small laugh and walked to the kitchen to get something to eat. He didn't seem pissed like last night. "What's with the gloves?"
"Uh cold hands" I replied.
"And why don't I believe you?" Dream asked leaning against the doorway. I just shrugged. "You know you can talk to me right? About anything"

Do I tell him?

I took a deep breath, "I think somethings wrong with me" I said quietly and he pushed off of the doorway.
"What do you mean?" He asked. I slowly pulled off the glove showing him my blackened hand. He let out a sigh and shook his head. "Come sit down, we need to talk" he said and headed to the lounge. Now I was a bit worried. I followed him and sat down.
"So what's wrong with me?" I asked.
"Nothing is wrong with you. When I found you I was a bit worried about how others would react so um.... I made you look more human. I just wanted you to not have to worry about others opinions. The only problem was moonlight" he started,
"Which is why I had a curfew" I said looking down and he nodded. "So what do I really look like?" I asked looking back at him.
"Do you really want to know?" He asked, "You can't go back"

Did I want to know?

Yes.

Yes I did.

I nodded and Dream got up and walked over to the ender chest. "You had this when I found you and the enchantment linked with that" he said and pulled out a crown. He held it out to me, "once you put that on, you will be you" I took the crown and just held it for a moment. "Whenever you're ready to do it you can" he said giving me a small smile. I nodded, I looked down at the crown in my hands. I ran my thumbs over the metal did I really want to do this?
"You don't have to do it right now" Dream said putting an hand on my shoulder. I looked up at him and nodded,
"I'm gonna go up to my room" I said getting up.
"I'll be here if you need me" Dream said and I went upstairs.
