Chapter 22 - A talk of fate

A/N - We're up to chapter 22 already?! Things are getting out of hand! Thanks for reading this far!

Nononononononononononono!How the hell could this happen? I need to cause a distraction, a something...

But, before I can do anything, Wilbur's voice cuts off my thoughts, "Ok Everyone! The votes are cast in. A massive thank you to everyone who voted. Please enjoy an hour breaks time and we will meet back here to determine the results of the election. Thank you." People start piling out of their seats, talking, laughing, whispering. I so desperately wish I was there with them. Without a care in the world. Fundy quickly leaves, shooting me rapid scared glances. It's like... Oh!He signs something. Meet me in the hot dog van. NOW.I nod to him, understanding. As the remaining people pile out, Wilbur turns to me. "I'll get Tommy and Tubbo. You get Fundy and Niki. Hot dog van." What a coincidence. I nod again. I rush to Niki, as she starts to disperse with the crowd. "Niki-" She turns, "Sa-Sayori! I'm so sorry." I'm genuinely confused, "Niki, what for?" She turns back to me with tears in her eyes, "Sayori, I left you all alone with that horrible man, and he-he, must have-ve, made you do something. I'm sorry!" "It's all right," I say, as I gently take her arm, "Come with us to the hot dog van and we'll talk about it." I slowly lead her to the van, all the while thinking horrible thoughts. I can't get exiled from L'manburg, I just can't! where would I go?...

Wilbur is already inside the van with Tommy, Tubbo and Fundy. Me and Niki walk inside, and I feel pits of dread build up inside me. "Ok, we're all here now. Tommy. Tubbo. Sayori. Fundy. Niki," Wilbur looks us directly in the eyes as he calls out our names. "We need to talk." As I sit down, I can see that Tommy's eyes are filled with anger, and Tubbo looks like he's been crying. Fundy looks deathly pale, and Wilbur looks defeated. I'm surprised. Rarely has everyone in L'manburg ever felt so low. The only time we felt this bad, was when Eret betrayed us. The mood is nostalgic, in a way. Like more bad things are ahead of us. It's an awful feeling. Fundy clutches the piece of paper, "Here. I'll read this out." He spits out the words. "what is it?" asks Tubbo. Fundy looks at me, "It's a contract between Sayori and Jschlatt. Now, without further adue, I will read this; Contract of agreement.This user signs to agree to the following terms:They will support Schlatt2020 at the L'manburg election." A few murmurs resonate among us."They will prepare a speech in preparation.They will be Jschlatt's running mateYou are not allowed to say any means about this contract, or any deals or negotiations made with Jschlatt otherwise. Doing so will result in a breach of contract.Any breach of this contract will result in the deaths of Tommyinnit, Wilbur_Soot and Tubbo_" With that Tommy stood up. "THAT FUCKING BASTARD. I SWEAR HE WILL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS." Tommy turns to me and Wilbur, "WHEN WE WIN THIS FUCKING ELECTION, WE WILL EXPEL THAT BITCH OUTTA HERE." I have never seen Tommy this mad. Even Niki, usually so sweet and kind, looks scandalized and furious, "Oh, I'm so sorry." Fundy interrupts, "AHEM. LET ME FINISH." Fundy continues reading;"This contract is not negotiable. Failure to sign this contract within half an hour of presentation will result in a breach of contract, which is stated as otherwise, above.Signatures:_____________________________Jschlatt and Sayori."

The room is silent. You could be able to hear a pin drop. Everyone looks to me. I can see realisation, sadness, fear, and anger in their gazes. Wilbur breaks the silence, "We have a bigger problem, gentlemen." I'm confused? What could be a bigger problem than the contract? Wilbur looks very pained. "I have read the votes, an-and." Tommy bolts to his feet, "Schlatt didn't win did he?" "No." Wilbur shakes his head. I'm relieved. We all exhale breaths we didn't know we were holding. "But...." Wilbur continues, "We had a slight change in plan. SWAG2020 and SCHLATT2020 combined votes.... a-an-and," I feel my blood rush to my head. NO WAY NO WAY ON EARTH. Wilbur gazes into my eyes. The tension is so thick, it couldn't be cut by a knife. "We won right? Still. Wilbur..." Tommy is a bit late to catch on. Niki and Fundy are close though, and fear is engraved on their faces. Wilbur takes a deep breath, and, when he looks at me again, I see tears in his eyes,"Sayori...

Schlatt. He's the new president. W-We lost."
