My Compass Will Always Point to You

Chapter 6: Slenderman the Enderman (Tommy's POV)

This part of the story starts before Ranboo found Tommy with Micheal. Also, I know Ranboo is HALF-Enderman. I just really liked the title like it is.

Tommy had finally found l'manburg. He had so many sweet memories there. Like when he and Wilbur got to rule over the country they had made together. He also had bad memories, namely the ones about exiling, but he decided to ignore them.

Before Tommy's current exile, he had made a trapdoor that would lead him into l'manburg if he had ever got exiled again. (THE SENTENCE BEFORE THIS WARNING IS NOT CANNON) This actually happened to be his second time being exiled. The trapdoor was disguised as a bush, so all Tommy had to do was find it. After about 45 minutes of sneaking around, he had finally found it. Tommy let out a huge sigh of relief. He had thought he'd never find the stupid thing.

Tommy lifted open the secret trapdoor and praised himself for being a genius to even think of making the thing before stepping in. Tommy had made stairs in the makeshift cave so he could walk normally. He had also been clever enough to make the tunnel wide and long enough for two grown men to walk comfortably through it. 

After walking for god knows how long, he had reached more stairs, this time, going upwards. This meant that at the end of the stairs was another trapdoor that was located near Tubbo's house. He finally resurfaced and immediately hid behind another nearby bush. Everything was good until...

He heard footsteps. Who was it? Was it Quakity or Fundy? What if they didn't want to see him? What if it was Tubbo and he also didn't want to see him? If Tubbo exiled him he surely didn't want to see him, right? This was bad. He didn't know what to do.

"Wait... what if it's Dream?" Tommy thought trembling madly.

He knew Dream would never forgive him if it really was him. He was going to die. Dream must have had followed him. How could he have been so stupid? He didn't really think he could escape from Dream, did he? That's insane! Only Technoblade could. That's why he should've gone to Techno. He was an idiot to think Tubbo would miss him. Even if he wasn't close to Techno, he was still stronger than Dream. Tommy could hear the footsteps coming closer.

He hugged his knees tightly and started to cry silently. This was the end for him. This was it. He heard the footsteps wandering even closer until it was right next to him. He wouldn't even dare to look up. He couldn't bear to.

"Dream, I-I'm sorry... I-I didn't mean... I just...." He whimpered.

He felt something touch his leg.

"I'M SORRY, PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!!!" Tommy cried.

He was crying to the fullest extent, now. Blinded by his heavy tears, he closed his eyes shut and waited for death. After a few moments, he realized he wasn't dead yet. Why wasn't he dead? Had Dream spared him? He looked up and peered through his still pouring tears.

Dream wasn't there.

He looked around until he heard a small snort. But it wasn't an "oh so funny" snort... it was a pig snort. He looked to see where the noise came from and saw a zombified piglet clinging to his leg.

"Oh, I must have just heard you, not Dream..." Tommy muttered blankly.

It made sense he couldn't feel the piglet clinging to his leg. The leg it was clinging to happened to be his bandaged one. Ever since it had gotten injured when he was with Dream, it had always been mostly numb. Tommy had a feeling that even if the leg wasn't numb, he wouldn't feel it because of the cold shock that had taken over him. He would've questioned himself how nobody heard his scream, but at that moment, it felt as if he and that little piglet were the only beings left in that sad, miserable world.
