To Be Bonded(Dream X Reader)

One Big Act

"You need to stop this nonsense."
Persa insisted as she sat down on the laid out blanket. My father had made a surprise picnic before she returned home from the castle that day. It was just a front though to try and convince her to stay behind on the End Expedition.

Ranboo huffed.
"You're being immature about this Persa."
He pinched the bridge of his nose.
"I am the best cartographer in the kingdom. I was the best in helping the King to find the End portal in the first place. They need me."
She said gritting her teeth. Ranboo threw up his hands, amazed at her stubbornness.
"No Persa you weren't! You were fifteen and knew a little bit about maps,and got lucky!For Gods sake what if something happens on that mission? It's basic suicide. Y/N needs at least one of us to survive."

Her hazel eyes flared up at his red and green ones.
"How dare you doubt my ability. If it wasn't for your mother none of it would have happened. And how dare you imply my daughter is weak."
She hissed up at him before storming into the kitchen.

I ducked my head down, continuing to listen to their fight. They never fought...at least I can't remember a time they did. Ranboo's voice rose slightly.
"Enough with this shit Persa! Just stay behind and raise our child!"
I peaked my head into the window again. I watched as my mother spun around,grabbed my father's tie and yanked him down to her level.
"I raised a soldier Ranboo, not a bitch. She. Will. Be . Fine."
She spat,and made her way to their bedroom. My father sat down with his head in his hands.
A soldier.
She raised me to be a soldier.

I breathed in the night air and made my way through the shadows. I carefully climbed the kingdom's outer walls, moving as the guards moved the light. I pulled myself up onto the top of the wall. And there he stood waiting as promised.
"Took you long enough, I was beginning to miss you."
He teased in his distorted honey like voice.

I calmed my breathing down before answering.
"Hello to you too."
"Any news? What did you do on your day off yesterday?"
He inquired quickly. My heart skipped a beat. How on earth would I be able to tell him and make him not suspect that I've betrayed him. He must have noticed my hesitation because he chuckled.

"Ahh let me guess. He planned something for you two to do together hm?"
I stared into the hood where his face lay.
"Yes he must have made it romantic. Personal. I'm not surprised, he is after all a manipulative ruler. Now that you stand on equal grounds here he has to make sure you'll stick with him until he regains his power. Clever as usual."
He mused as he suggested the twisted idea to me. My brain started to churn at the possibility. Dream was indeed manipulative in many ways...is it all just one big act?

His hood turned to look at me.
"Aww falling for him were we? Now now Y/N after all this time you should know that there's no place for you in his life. Only with a collar around your neck."
He moved toward me but I held my ground. His hood sat right next to my ear. His gas mask dangling off his face now. I should have turned to catch something, anything about his identity...but I was too scared to.
"Like a pet."
He whispered. I knew that voice from somewhere...where...where.

He placed his gas mask back on.
"Not like I will treat you once we get out. You will rule as my Queen. You've been trained to be a soldier your whole life. Time you used that power with a proper title."
I gulped at the prospect. Queen.

His figure moved along with the dark aura he always seemed to carry.
"His plan, to kill the End dragon goes against everything you have been taught. I understand it may be hard for to do. However some rules must be broken in order for rightful progress to be made."
I frowned.
How does he know of Clay's plan?
"What do I call you?"
I asked bluntly, scraping hope that he would give me a name to work with.
"Caro...my rightful last name."

I hid my disappointment with a nod. His hood turned over his shoulder.
"It's time we both were given the power that was ours from the start. Until I see you again Y/N."
Smoke filled from the bottom of his feet and once it cleared he was gone.
A soldier...A Queen.
