Memories of a Dream

Chapter 10

Dream was in the corner crying. His hair was longer than it had been before and was in desperate need of a brush and haircut. There was blood around Dream. He had rips in his prisoner's outfit and gashes on his arms, legs, and back. A day after Ranboo had left Sam let Quackity in the prison to start torturing Dream. Quackity was after the revival book. Dream was okay with giving it to Quackity and to Sam, but he knew that they would kill him straight after. He couldn't let them kill the baby. Dream has naturally kept his curled up protective stance to keep the child safe. He doesn't lay out anymore. It's been about 4 months 1 week and 2 days since first pregnancy. 

Sam has gracelessly given him a clock so he can count the days. Dream can't remember when the last time Ranboo had come over to visit. It's been a week maybe three. Could even be four. Dream couldn't keep count or well didn't bother to. Dream was incredibly in tuned with the way his body felt. He was in a lot of pain. His head hurt from both blood loss, dehydration, and not enough nutrition. His muscles where sore from being beaten. He could feel that his breath was raged, and his throat was dry. He could hear every little drip drop of the lava and the crying obsidian. He can sometime predict when a drop is going to fall from the crying obsidian or when a pop will come from the lava.

He could feel his stomach hurt from the lack of food and his throat dry as a desert. As in tuned as he was, he could also feel the baby move. The baby didn't move much as it hasn't grown much but still. He can feel when it moves slightly which will send shots of relief and joy to Dreams mind. He was so glade that the baby was still alive. Dream had directed his body so most of his nutrition would go to the baby. He would get like 20% of it while 80% went to the baby. Nothing could bring Dream greater joy then to know that his baby was alright.

Dream heard the sound of lava falling. Dream curled up tighter, covering his stomach more. He would not let Quackity hurt his child. He listened as the bridge came across the lava. "I'll come to get you in 20 minutes if he starts to hurt you press the panic button and go to the left side corner near the lava" Sam said. Panic button? Why would Quackity need a panic button? Is it not Quackity? Dream opened his eyes and untucked his head. He looked to see Ranboo watching the lava fall back down covering the entrance. The bars went down once the lava completely fell. 

Ranboo turned and looked at Dream. Dream instantly saw that Ranboo's eyes were green and red. No purple eyes and no purple tears. Also, he had a mouth. Ranboo took a couple of steps forward. Dream could easily tell that Ranboo was scared. His frail, timid stance was a dead giveaway. Also, Ranboo was picking at his nails as his tail swung back and forth behind him. "Hello" Dream said sitting up. Ranboo let out a sigh. "Hello" Ranboo said. "You've come to visit me" Dream said not understanding why forgetful Ranboo came to visit him.

Was he upset that Dream had killed Tommy? "Yeah, I know. It's probably surprising, seeing as how we've barely talked if at all I think" Ranboo said with a light chuckle at the end. "What it's not surprising" Dream said. "Well, I think" Ranboo said before being cut off. "Actually, I'm surprised that you didn't come sooner" Dream said. "Really.... what, why, I. Okay well and you know why I'm here then" Ranboo said. Dream pulled up his leg and rest his arm on it. "Well, we're like best friends right" Dream said and smiled.

Ranboo didn't really like that. "I'm, we've barely- we've barely spoke. We're not best friends" Ranboo said glaring at Dream. "What? I've probably talked to you more than I've talked to anybody else on the SMP. "That's not- Okay now you're just- I know what you're doing. You're trying to scare me" Ranboo stuttered. "Ranboo speak proper sentences. You sound scared and intimidated. If you don't want me to get the idea that your scared you need to speak up and have good proper sentences" Dream said. "I'm not- I'm not going to let you- I'm not going to let you scare me. I know your just trying to scare me into thinking" Ranboo said.

Dream furrowed his eyebrows. "What? how am I trying to scare you" Dream asked. "I-" Ranboo said but then stopped. Dream smiled. "No, we've barely interacted if at all. We're not-" "Why are you acting different" Dream asked. Dream mentally slapped himself. It's cuz Ranboo's forgotten everything. Ranboo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean I'm acting different. I'm acting... how i normally act" Ranboo said. Dream and Ranboo looked at each other in silences. "Oh" Dream hummed. 

Ranboo furrowed his eyebrows. "What is- what is that supposed to mean" Ranboo asked. "Well, I'm glad you came to visit me" Dream said directing the conversation away. "Why-why are you glade" Ranboo asked getting a bit more scared. "Well, you've been really helpful and maybe when you come back you can hear them" Dream said. "Them. I'm. No, I'm not coming back. I'm not helpful either.  You've- You've must know that somehow hear your voice in my head sometimes" Ranboo said. Dream looked confused. "You're just making- You're just completely lying. You're trying to make me think I did those thinks again and- and I'm not going to let you do those- do that again" Ranboo said with a slight growl.

Dream looked at Ranboo. "But you did do those thinks" Dream said. "No, I did none of those things that you've claimed I've done" Ranboo shouted. "You did do those thinks. You helped me because we are friends" Dream said. "No, we're not- we are friends. You are not my friend" Ranboo growled. That hurt Dream a bit. "Ranboo. You are my friend. I am you're friend. We help each other out" Dream said. "No- no. I'm- you are not my friend. "Tommy and Tubbo are my friends. You- You murdered Tommy" Ranboo said his breath starting to shack a little.
