Bounty

ahhhhhhhhhh i met noah schnapp (from stranger things) at a con the other day and he was so sweet!

"You aren't, are you?"

"No, no, of course not. You're safe here."

You eyed him, not trusting his words. You didn't feel safe anywhere. You would go to Dream when you were ready, you didn't need someone to bring you there for money. It was the stupidest thing you had ever heard of. Dream overeacts.. a lot. He just can't leave you alone, can he?

You opened up your phone to see a bunch of messages. Techno wasn't lying.

Punz :)-Y/N meet me at the L'Manberg Crater.

dream.- Where are you?

Sapnap- Y/N, wanna meet up?

Georgeeee- Where are you, and why is there a bounty for you?

Fundy-Hi, could we hang out some time?

Jack Manifold- Hey Y/N, can we talk?

Eryn- Y/N, Dream's going crazy. I know that you want to be with him again, and I need this money. Can't we work something out?

There were even more. So many people were just trying to lure you into "hanging out" with them to trick you into following them to Dream, giving them the money in the end. You couldn't believe some of these people. 

You hadn't spoken to Jack or Fundy in the longest time, and now they suddenly "care" about you. Now everyone knew you were alive, so Dream did a great job there. George and Sapnap were still borderline fighting with you.

Sapnap was clearly after the money, even though he despises Dream.

You needed to clear your mind. You opened the door and decided to take a walk outside. Your boots moved through the thick snow, and you could barely see in the darkness of the night. Something felt off.

Maybe it would be better to go back inside.

You started to walk toward Techno's house, but you were kicked to the ground. You looked up in pain to see a male figure. As you looked closer in the darkness, you realized that Jack Manifold was standing over you.

"What was that for?"

"You're not going to come willingly, are you?"

You shook your head.

"That's what I thought."

"Let me guess. You're here to get the bounty money," You spoke, rolling your eyes.

"How'd you know?" he smirked.

"Lucky guess," you muttered.

"Y/N, this works out perfectly for me. I get money, that's a win. I see you're at Techno and Tommy's. I hate the guts of those brothers, and I want revenge on them. I hate Dream. So, after I get the money from him, I'll know his location and I'll be able to kill him. Doesn't that sound perfect?" Jack spoke, explaining his "evil" plan.

"You think this is going to work out for you? Techno and Dream are some of the strongest people around here."

"And Tommy is a child. I can kill him easily."

"Actually, he's 18. So he's an adult."

"Ugh, shut up. Just come with me."

You took Jack's hand and stood up, but as he started to walk off expecting you to follow, you tripped him, starting to run for your life. You were tempted to scream for the brothers, but Jack would just hurt them if he was able to get his hands on them. You didn't want anything to happen to them.

Nothing would happen to you. Jack wouldn't kill you, or else Dream would kill him.

You ran straight into another man's chest. Punz.

And as you looked around, you spotted a much older looking Tubbo. You backed away from Punz as Jack quickly caught up to everyone. This was an odd group of people... You hadn't see Tubbo in years. You knew he couldn't be... working against you... could he?

"Tubbo!" you greeted warmly.

Tubbo looked at you coldly.

"What's wrong?" You asked innocently.

"You are engaged to the man that's tortured me for years? A real good friend there."

You looked at Punz. "Tubbo, one second. I need to speak with Punz."

You pulled Punz aside. "Have you told them that you work with Dream?" You hissed.

"Uh no. And I don't plan to. So please, Y/N, for god's sake... don't say anything."

You and Punz turned to the others.
