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

Chapter 10: Ghost Drè

Techno's mind went blank. It's been two months since Dream died. Techno had many sleepless nights trying to find a way to bring his back. The closest he got was Dream. He needed Dream's ghost, but when Dream's ghost didn't show up he began to lose hope. Without thinking much Techno took a shaky step forwards his arms outstretched shaking. He pulled Ghost Drè into a tight hug, ignoring the cold shiver that ran down his spine. Tears started to fill Techno's tired eyes. Ghost Drè wrapped his arms around Techno trying to comfort him. "You" Techno started tightening his hold on Ghost Drè. "You left me for so long," Techno told Ghost Drè. "I'm sorry" Ghost Drè apologise.

"Who's at the door at the door Techno?" Phil asked coming into view. Techno pulled away from Ghost Drè making him visible to Phil. Phil's steps stopped as he looked at Ghost Drè. "Dream?" Phil asked taking a few steps towards them. "Who are you?" Ghost Drè asked confused as to how they knew him. Dream turned his sights back to Techno "Do you know them, Techie?" Ghost Drè asked. Techno nodded "yes I do," he told Ghost Drè. "Ah, so what's your name?" Ghost Drè said looking back at Phil. "Philza but you can call me Phil" Phil introduce himself sadly. 'How much did he forget?' Phil questioned looking between Techno and Ghost Drè. "Nice to meet you, Phil" Dream greeted not seeing the need to introduce himself as Phil seemed to already know who he is. Phil just nodded. "Why don't you come inside?" Phil asked Ghost Drè seems Techno was out of it. Ghost Drè nodded happy entering.

The tree of them moved to the living room, where Wilbur was sat. "So who was at the door?" Wilbur asked. No one answered him so he was forced to look up from his guitar. What he didn't expect to see was Dream, well a ghost version of him. "Dream?" He questioned. "Um, how are you?" Ghost Drè asked tilting his head slightly in confusion. "Oh" Wilbur sounded a bit sad that Ghost Drè didn't remember him. "I'm Wilbur," he told Ghost Drè. "It's nice to meet you" Ghost Drè replied.

Phil sat on one of the chairs as Ghost Drè and Techno sat on the couch. "So what do you remember Dream?" Phil asked looking at Ghost Drè. "Oh, I remember my death, Techie and a lot of pain and sadness," Ghost Drè told them. Techno tense at the new information. 'So he only remembered pain, sadness and me?' Techno thought sadly. Sad that Ghost Drè only really remembers the suffering in his life. Phil and Wilbur raised an eyebrow at the nickname Ghost Drè gave Techno.

They talked for a while about how to get Ghost Drè memories back until. "Hey what do you think Techno?" Wilbur asked looking at Techno when he got no response. Techno had fallen asleep. Wilbur sighed but was happy Techno was finally sleeping. Phil also saw that Techno was sleeping and smiled. Happy that he was sleeping. That he finally gave in to the excursion. Ghost Drè felt something on his shoulder so he turned his head to see what it was, it was warm. He turned to see Techno's head on his shoulder as the man slept. Phil tried to stifle a laugh "looks like your stuck for a while" Phil told Ghost Drè. "I see that" he replied. "He looked so tired when he answered the door" Ghost Drè said looking at Techno's sleeping face. "Yeah, he hasn't been sleeping well since you died" Wilbur joined in the conversation giving his input. "Oh, I'm sorry" Ghost Drè apologise. "It wasn't your fault Dream," Phil told Ghost Drè.

They decided to talk quietly as to let Techno sleep. Ghost Drè didn't mind that Techno's head was resting on his shoulder like it was a pillow. "Can you tell me a bit about what's happened to see if it'll help me remember?" Ghost Drè asked unsurely. "Of course," Wilbur said. And so they started to tell Ghost Drè about everything that they know had happened.

"Then they caught you and you where put into the prison you helped built," Phil told Ghost Drè. "Do you remember anything about it?" Wilbur asked. "I think I remember building it with a creeper man..?" Ghost Drè questioned more than said. "Yes, you did. Do you remember anything else about it?" Phil questioned. "Yeah, I was in there for about a year. Someone at the beginning would visit me often. I never liked his visits. They where always filled with pain. He'd hurt me" Ghost Drè told them you could hear the pain in his voice. Techno seemed to hear this in his sleep and self-conscious moved closer to Ghost Drè. They all smiled at the act but you could see Ghost Drè's as he was still wearing his mask.

"Do you remember how you got out?" Wilbur asked. "I was sat in the cell when four people came. They asked me to kill so monster. Then they let me go. But they came back and killed me" Ghost answered trying to remember more. "I'm sorry for bringing so much trouble" he apologises. "It's alright Dream," Phil told Ghost Drè. "Well, I think that's enough for today. We don't want to overload your brain" Phil said standing up. Ghost Drè nodded understanding. "I'll be back soon. Just going to have a cup of tea" Phil said as he walked off the kitchen. "I'm going for a smoke" Wilbur said standing up and heading outside. Not long after Phil followed Wilbur outside, leaving Ghost Drè alone with a sleeping Techno.

When Phil and Wilbur came back into the house they were welcomed with the sight of Techno sleeping, resting his head on Ghost Drè's shoulder and Ghost Drè sleeping with resting his head on Techno's. Quietly Phil picked up a blanket and put it on the both of them. Leaving them to sleep.
