Royals (Dreambur)

Impatient

-----Dream Pov----

I pull on the chains trying to pull my hands out of the cuffs but fail. I pull on the chains with a yell then I puch the wall causing my nuckles to start bleeding. I sit on the ground pulling my mask off to reveal my emerald green eyes and pail face with scars, one scar on my chin and two where my nose is that reaches just above my eyes ad under my left eye. I turn the smiley mask to face me and I look down on it with a sigh. "I hate chains... I would be fine without the chains but no I have to be chained up like a dog..." I say leaning my head back agains the wall.

I slip back on my mask and stand looking to a barred window that lets me see outside. The chains just barrely reach far enough for me to look out and I see guards, children, and people of all kinds walking past. A little boy with brown hair and a green shirt stops and looks at me. Form what I can tell I'm in the castle but in their holding cells for the most criminal of criminals so outside is the court yard. The boy walks up to the bars slowly and I take off my mask giving him a soft smile. "Hey little guy, what is your name?" I ask and the boy steps back three steps. "M-Maverick..." The boy replies. "Hello Maverick, people know me as Dream." I say putting back on my mask. "How did you get in there?" The boy asks and I reply "I'm a thief, it's not good to steal you know..." The boy looks at me confused.

"Then why did you steal?" The boy questions further and I see the curiosity grow in his eyes. "I made a living doing it... Now I'm rich but being rich is borring... I like adventure and if I realy wanted to steal I would have become a pirate!" I say making the boy giggle. "I want to be a sea captain, I want to see the unseen!" The boy says and I chuckle. "Work hard and you willl get there, you'll be the best sea captain to ever sail the tretcheris waters!" I say making the boy smile happily. "Here have this..." I say taking a small gold chain from my belt and handing it up through the window. The boy takes it and looks at it with wonder. "Remember me when you become a sea captain and remember these words. Don't ever let anyone tell you you can't reach the stars." I say and the boy smiles at me.

Suddenly a guard yells "Get away from those bars!" Two guards run up to the boy nocking him onto the ground. The boy quickly stuffs the chain in his pocket and I grit my teeth behind the mask. "He wasn't doing anything! I asked him what his name was, he was just answering my question! He's a kid and knows no better!" I yell and a guard turns looking at me. "Shut it street rat!" The guard yells and the kid stands looking down at the ground. The boy looks at me and I nod at me to reasure him and he smiles at me once more before turning away and walking back to his friend who sworm him concerned. I sigh with releaf and smile from under my mask. "Good kid..." I mumble under my breath before goig back to here the chains meet with the wall and sitting down.

------Wilbur Pov-----

I sit in my dark study working on documents when a guard enters. "Sir, we had a problem with the thief... He was talking to a kid through the hole and one of the guards dealing with the kid saw that the theifs nuckles were bloody." The guard says and I stand grabbing bandidges from my top drawer. "Lead the way..." I say and I leave the room following the guard down through the black and red halls. "I wonder what he told the kid?" I think too myslef curiously as we make our way down to the hold area. We get to Dream's cell to see him sitting on the ground with blood covered hands and blood on the wall. "Open the door." I say and the guards opens it letting me in as the door creeks. The door is shut behind me and Dream looks toward the bared window in the wall. "I see you punched the wall, why is that?" I ask and Dream stays silent.

"I heard you were talking to a kid through the barred up hole in the uper part of the wall... Was that after you puched the wall?" I question further ad Dream nods. I smile walking up to him and kneeling infront of him with the bandidges in hand. "Can I do it or do you want to do it?" I ask and Dream holds out his hands. I nod, gently wraping both his scared hands. "You're an interesting charecter... I've read about you and from what I can tell you are skilled, almost invinsible to the people whom come after you. You are like a Robin Hood charecter but you also steal for yourself." I say smirking as Dream shakes his head with a chuckle. "I ain't all powerful and I an't no Robin Hood, that's for sure..." Dream says as I finnish the bandidging. "Modest also I see..."I say making Dream laugh. "I see what you're doing, you're trying to get me talking and I can say it was working." Dream says tilting his head at me and I shrug my shoulders. "You caught me..." I say with a laugh.

Dream pulls on the chains and sighs putting them down. "Now... Why did you punch the fucking wall?" I ask and Dream groans. "I got pissed off, these stupid chains keep me attached to the wall. I would be fine just in the cell or if I could walk around with chains but no I'm stuck to seven steps away from the wall and the cuffs iritate my wrists. I just don't like the thought of me being like a dog." Dream says giving in. "You're to much of a danger to let out without a leash because you're as fierce as a pack of wolves... You also are a thief, criminal." I say grinning and I can feel the anger come from Dream as I compair him to an animal. "What if I let you live in the castle with me but... you have to keep on the chains but only for a while, I don't quite trust you eather just like you don't trust me? Deal?" I ask putting my haand out to shake his but he just sits there for a moment.

"I'll think about it..." Dream says and I put my hand down. I smile with a nod. "I'll be back to give you your food and if you decide you want the deal then I'll be glad to show you to your room myslef." I say standing and Dream nods. I walk to the door and the guard opens it letting me out. I walk away from the cell as the door is locked. I walk to my throne and sit on it, resting my head on my hand. "What does he look like under that mask?..." I think to myslef with curiosity.
