Broken Constellations-DSMP DEMIGOD AU (UNCONTINUED AND ABANDONED)

Chapter 14: Gone

(Tommy POV)

TW: Mild Swearing

I shot up, my entire body aching, especially my back. Where was I? I was in a dirty gray cell, lying on a hard and cold cell. One of my hands was chained to the post of the bed. What happened? Then, it suddenly hit me. Wilbur. I had fought Wilbur and lost. He must have brought me here. I heard rustling from outside the cell, and someone peeked through the bars. "You're awake!" He said excitedly. I stared at the creeper hybrid. Who the hell was he? The man disappeared, probably going to fetch someone. My suspicions were right, and he soon returned with a green hoodie man. He wore a white mask which had a creepy smiley face painted on it. What's with these people and masks? This man was damn scary. I didn't like him. I whimpered before shrinking into a corner, as far as the chains will allow. "Sam, thank you for alerting me, you're now dismissed, go take a break," the man told Sam, who nodded gratefully and walked out, "Hey Tommy." I absolutely freaked out. How the hell does he know my name?! "WHAT THE [readacated] AM I DOING HERE! LET ME OUT! AND WHO THE [redacted]ARE YOU?" I yelled. The masked man snickered, seemingly enjoying my struggle. "You are here because you are needed, and no, I will not let you out. My name is Dream and you're stuck here unless you corporate," Dream replied coolly, grabbing the chain and using it to pull me out of my corner. The name Dream clicked a bell. It was the person in Ranboo's dream. Dream smiled wickedly. "I'm going to have some fun with you."

(Tubbo POV)

"Tommy?" I murmured softly. The bright morning sun shone onto my face, waking me up from my slumber. Everything was quiet and peaceful, with the noise of the curtains fluttering. I got up slowly, looking at the bed next to me. Empty. My brain went insane, where was he? I looked at Ranboo's bed. He was still there. I glanced at Queenie's bed. Empty. Where the [redacted] were they? My heart pumped faster in anxiousness. Were they alright? I jumped off my bed, running over to Ranboo's. I shook him vigorously, and finally he woke with a muffled groan, rubbing his eyes. "RANBOO GET UP, THE OTHERS ARE GONE," I yelled in his ear. He shot up immediately, all sleepiness gone. "WHAT?!"

"YES WE GOTTA FIND THEM, NOW," I shouted back, grabbing his things and throwing them to him. Luckily, I had fallen asleep with my shirt on, so I didn't need to change. Ranboo ran into the bathroom, changed at a tremendous speed, while I ran outside to search first. They were nowhere to be seen. The beach looked peaceful, unaffected. I ran across the beach, desperate for any evidence on where my best friend had gone. Ranboo appeared next to me, panting and puffing, holding a stick and a tin can. "I found these, they weren't here yesterday." I studied the stick and the can. The stick looked normal, but the tin can was dented, like it had hit something hard. I passed them back to Ranboo before spotting a smashed glass bottle in the sand a few metres away. Carefully, I picked a shard up. It was purple stained glass, and it was covered with some sort of liquid. I smelled the liquid carefully, catching a whiff of a dazing smell. It made me sleepy, but I held my act together. "Ranboo," I called. The tall teenage boy turned around before hurrying towards me. "Smell," I ordered, shoving it in his face. He smelled it, giving a surprised look. "Poppers. It's a drug that can make you go unconscious when you smell it," Ranboo said worriedly.

"What if Dream has Tommy?" I questioned. This was god damn confusing right now. Ranboo scratched his chin, tilting his head to the side, thinking. "What if Wilbur wasn't actually in trouble, and he left that letter to trick Tommy to think he was in danger? It would make sense, because he works for Dream. I bet there was no such quest from Apollo either!" Ranboo said suddenly.

"It is a possibility," I admitted. Had we just fallen into a trap? "I suggest we go find Aimsey, Tommy might still be here and she knows this hotel best, so she could help us search."
