Chapter 3: The Nightmare and the Raccoon
Tommy awoke with a start and quickly noticed that he was sweating. Another dang nightmare, but different… Why did everyone die in front of me in that one? Wilbur was stabbed by Phil… Techno was slaughtered by some weird people in butcher costumes, one of them looked a lot like Tubbo too… Philza was slaughtered by some man in a green hoodie… and I was the last to die by committing suicide… Is this a nightmare or a vision? Maybe a memory? He was so confused. Everything was weird. Did all those events happen before or were they going to happen soon? Could he stop them from occurring? What if he left and ran away and lived in his raccoon form?
He made his decision and quickly wrote a letter saying:
Dear family,
I love you, but I had a nightmare where Wilbur was killed by Philza using a sword, Techno was killed by some people dressed up in butcher outfits, Philza was killed by a man in a green hoodie, and I died from suicide. I don’t know if it was a dream, nightmare, or vision so I have decided to leave since everything seemed to be my fault. If you miss me just pet every animal you see, even raccoons. Tubbo might be able to find me, but I don’t want to be found. I want all of you to be safe, even if it makes me sad.
Love,
Tommy
Time Skip to when Tommy found a “home”
Tommy knew that a tree would have to be a “home” for now. He already missed his family, but he wanted to protect them rather than cause them all to die somehow. It had already been 2 hours since he left and Tommy knew that they were probably looking for him. The good thing is that he ran into some people and they put a muzzle on him which means that if he tries to talk he will be injured and he would rather not do that, but he would still be able to eat and drink which was a great thing.
After a few minutes Tommy began to fall asleep and decided to find a hole in the tree. He climbed up higher and found a perfect hole and climbed into it, curled up, and fell asleep.
Time Skip to when Tommy wakes up
Tommy was the kind of person to sleep for many hours so when he woke up to find the sun setting he wasn’t all that surprised. He was used to waking up at night due to his nightmares, but for some reason as a raccoon he never got them. It was probably due to the fact that he had become a raccoon after all of the traumatic events and therefore the raccoon part of him never experienced the trauma. However, Tommy knew that he would need food no matter what others would think, but he couldn’t go into his human form since Phil was most likely already looking for him.
As Tommy climbed down the tree he noticed a flash of yellow, brown, and maroon. He immediately recognised the colors to be Wilbur. Wilbur was hanging up missing flyers with Tommy’s face on them and on the bottom was a phone number which Tommy assumed was Phil’s. Tommy had brought his phone with him, however he left in the tree since why not. The blonde wanted to go back to his den and go back to sleep so he turned and started to walk away. But, Wilbur noticed the raccoon and picked it up saying, “Not so fast mister. I know it's you.”
Tommy was scared so he let out a little squeak. Wilbur ended up dropping him and said, “Ok maybe not. Besides, Tommy isn’t a hybrid.” Then Wilbur crouched down and gave the raccoon a pet. “I ought to be going now. My father is really worried about Tommy. Honestly all of us are. If you see him please let him know that those events did happen, but not in this world. It was a game we used to play with another person, but they wasted their last cannon life. We assume that Tommy was put into his perspective in that nightmare and was scared.” The raccoon looked up at Wilbur and saw that the brunette had tears in his eyes. I feel bad now for running, I shouldn’t have done that. But, maybe I can get “adopted” by them in my raccoon form. If they accept me like this then I will reveal myself. Tommy thought to himself.
Wilbur watched as the raccoon ran up a tree and returned with a small stash of food and a napkin. The raccoon stood up on its hind legs and looked up at Wilbur with the cutest eyes it could muster. “Awwwwwww. You’re actually quite cute! Maybe Phil will let me adopt you because of how cute you are!” Wilbur said. Tommy internally cheered as Wilbur picked up the young raccoon and the stuff the little guy brought with them. “I’ma guess that you are a boy from the way you act so I’ma let my brother name you. I’m better at coming up with girl names rather than boy names, but he is better at both.”
Time skip to when they reach the home
Tommy was happy to be back, but he noticed how everyone was immediately. Techno had dark bags under his eyes and Philza didn’t look much better. Wilbur was doing ok but not much better than Techno. Philza immediately didn’t like the idea of them adopting a raccoon, but once Tommy did the cute face he used on Wilbur on Phil he was adopted. Techno renamed him to Theseus, it was an interesting name but Tommy liked it.
Techno was very attached to Theseus by the end of the day. He kept saying that the raccoon acted a lot like Tommy. Philza and Wilbur did agree with what Techno was saying, but they wanted to figure out why the raccoon acted so much like Tommy before they told Techno anything.
