The protector that lost what he needed to protect (Dreamnoblade)

Chapter 3: Staying

The next morning came around and Techno woke up first. He wanted to get moving as soon as possible so, he picked up Dream after putting the box he was reading back where he found it. Making a mental note to ask Dream can he borrow some of his books. The sun had not long since resin when he left Dreams base with Dream the air was still cold from the night. The sun does not provide much heat. He didn't realise how cold it was till he felt Dream shiver. Dream was only wearing the orange prison clothes that didn't proving much warmth. Techno took off his cape and put it around Dream then continued his walk back to his home.

Kicking open his houses door gently Techno entered his house. He placed Dream onto the couch. That was when he heard footsteps that seemed to be approaching coming from the kitchen. Turning around Techno saw Philza. "So, Techno where were you?" Phil asked coming closer to where Techno was. "Out" Techno replied. "I know that mate," Phil said looking at Techno with a look that said 'you know what I mean'. Sighing Techno turned his eyes to where Dream was lying. Phil followed Technos eyes to see Dream. "Ah I see," Phil said walking closer to Dream. Upon closer expectation, Phil saw the blooded top that Dream was wearing. "Do you know what happened?" Phil asked Techno with slight concern in his eyes. Techno shook his head. He didn't know. He just found Dream pasted out in a pool of his own blood in a base he didn't even know existed. Phil sighed as he spoke up yet again "we'll have to ask him when he wakes up. We don't know if he escaped prison". It was a possibility. I mean Dream did help build it. But if he could have gotten out why leave it till now to get out. He was in there for over a year.

Dream just saw black. The black went on for miles. He didn't know where he was. Did he die? Did his body finally give up on him? He didn't know. He sure hoped he want dead because he didn't want to be stuck in pitch black forever. Sighing Dream rubbed a hand through his hair in frustration. Just where exactly was he? Memory's played in front of him. Pointing out every bad thing he did. The pain he caused. But also that because of the pain he caused he brought everyone back together. They called him a villain so he came one. Dream just wanted them to stop fighting each other. If they needed a common well they didn't and he became it. He didn't care what happened to him. This is why he stayed in Pandora's box because everyone was at peace and he wasn't needed. But when they came to him asking for help navies something was trying to kill them or toy with them. Dream couldn't let that happen. So he was more than happy to help.

Dream shot up awake looking around frantically. Realising he want at his base he jumped up to his feet. How did someone find him? As soon as that thought came to his mind, he felt stupid. He was literally bleeding and from what he saw, was leaving a blood trail. "Easy there" Dreams snapped his head in the direction the voice came from to see Phil standing there. Phil thought that Dream gave himself whiplash with how fast he moved his head to look at him. "You needed to sit down Dream. You could re-open your injury" Phil said taking a step towards Dream. Dream didn't sit down for a second taking this time to look around his surroundings. Realised he was at Techno's house Dream sat down. That's when Dream noticed Technos red cape next to him. He also felt a little insecure with the way Phil just stood there looking at him. So he brought his hands to this face to make sure his mask was there. Relief washed over him as he felt his smiley mask on his face. Still slightly cracked but it covers almost all of his face. "Don't worry we didn't take it off" Phil shot down any worry Dream had that they removed his mask. "Is he awake?" A new voice called from the kitchen. Dream recognised it as Technos. "Yeah, he's up" Phil answered sitting across from Dream in a chair. Techno came not long after Phil sat down and sat next to him. "So Dream do you want to tell us what happened?" Phil asked once Techno was seated. "So I was in prison till George, Sapnap, Tubbo and Tommy came to visit" Dream started. "They came to ask for my help-" Dream was interrupted before he could continue by Techno. "Help with what?" He asked leaning forwards in his seat. "There was a monster. That was attacking them and they couldn't kill it so they wanted me to" Dream answered. "Is that why you were injured?" Phil asked looking at where the wound is. "Yes, it was," Dream said looking at it too. "So did you run after?" Techno asked Dream. "God no, they let me go but I'm not aloud near any of the countries" Dream answered. "Hmm, that's a bit weird. Considering that they didn't do anything like that in the year you were in prison" Phil spoke up his thoughts. "It is. I think they thought I was going to die anyway so..." Dream said casually, like the idea of himself dying didn't seem to bother him. Or the idea that they wanted him dead and just used him. This makes the two other males concerned. They shared a look at each other before Techno stood up. "well you can stay here" Techno said well more like commanded. "It's fine I can say at my own place. I don't want to cause you both any problems" Dream said standing up. "I said you're staying" Techno looked at Dream with a fierce and determined lock. Dream sat back down in defeat. "You have your own place?" Phil asked a bit shocked. "Um yeah," Dream answered.
