Royals (Dreambur)

A Wake Up Call

----DreamPov----

I wake to my door opened. I sit up quickly grabing my mask off the table and and holding it to my face before anyone can see my face.. "Get up, the King wishes to see you!" A guard yells from the door as my eyes adjust to the light. "I'm up!" I yell angrily as the guard unhooks my chain and leaves the room, shutting the door. I groan tiredly as I walk the closet with teh sound of the chain on the floor. The guards had chainged the chain on my neck to be longer and also hooked it to the wall before I whent to bed. I quickly change into a new button up, and some black pants. I walk back to my bed and put on my hooded cloak with my gear. I put on my mask the correct way and open the door. A guard grabs the chain then the other guard put's cuffs on my wrists. "Just remember, I hate you as much as you hate me." I say and the guards growl or scoff pushing me forward. "That's what I exspected..." I say walking forward through the halls with the guards behind me. The servants gasp and walk out of the way quickly.

"Am I that scary?" I ask with a chuckle as the guards stay quiet. We make our way to a large room with a long dinning table, King Wilber sits at the very end. "Hello Dream, I hope they weren't to agressive." Wilbur says with a smirk on his face. I roll my eyes under the mask and tilt my head. "One barged in and yelled for me to get up, luckily I was quick enough to grab my mask and cover my face. Then they pushed me... It's exactly what I exspected to happen!" I say with a laugh. "Come sit next to me, I'd like to talk with you." Wilbur says and I hestitantly listen. I sit in the chair next to him with the cuffs still on my hands. "This chian makes me feel like a pet." I say using my cuffed hands to grab the chain and move it out of the way.

Wilbur sighs looking at the chain. "I have no choice, you are a criminal and I don't fully trust ,and they won't trust you without it also." Wilbur says and I tilt my head confused. "Who is they?" I ask and before Wilbur opens his mouth a man with a light blue royal mantle, black pants, red cape, and mushroom hat walks in and glares at me(George). I fall out of my seat as others walk in. Wilbur helps me up and I look around quickly, they are royals from different kingdoms. I only have been to three of their kingdoms. "Them..." Wilbur says with anger in his voice. "They heard you were here and showed up un anounced..." Wilbur says. My heart begins to pound quickly and my wraped hands begin to turn black as I breath heavily.

-----WilburPov---

I take notice of Dreams hands and I quickly stand blocking his view of everyone. "Dream, calm down. Look at your hands..." I whisper and Dream looks at his hands with a gasp. "Look at me..." I say calmly and Dream looks up at me. He slowly begins to calm and the black on his hands dissipears. I look to a servant who stands behind my chair. "Get Dream something to eat..." I say and the servant nods leaving the room. "He is dangerous, a criminal, and you just let him stay in your castle!?" A man covered in gold, with emerald green eyes yells(Foolish). Everyone looks at me confused. Dream sits in his chair head down, I can feel the anger come from him. "I trust him! You all have no right to come into my kingdom and make arguments or yell at him, do you even know why he steals, do you know who he is or what he's gone through!? None of us do, I welcome people into my kingdom with open arms, I'm honestly surprised he didn't try to leave last nght!" I say causing silence to spread through the room.

"I had told all of you to wait so I could talk to him but you all storm in with nothing but anger towards him! None of us are purfict!" I yell and Dream looks up at me then everyone. Dream looks back down then begins to hum causing everyone to turn their attention to him. "What are yo-" "Shhh!" I say cutting off my good friend Techno who was mostlikely pulled here by curiosity and not anger. Dream stops humming and looks up at everyone. "A melody can change more and more until it's art or it can change to much, to the point that it's no longer a melody but a monstosity." Dream says causing surprise. "There is always room for improvement meaning that there is also room for mistakes." Dream continues and everyone stares at him as if in a trance by his soft spoken words with not even the slightest hint of anger or annoyens. (Why does this hit so hard😐)

The servant brings food infront of Dream and Dream lifts his mask just above his mouth and begins eating. "Thank you..." Dream says turning his head to the servant nd the servant nods with a soft smile. Dream turns back to the plate and continues to eat.

------DreamPov----

Everyone looks at me as I eat then Wilbur breaks the silence. "I think since you are all here we should do something to lighten the mood... How about a party for our kingdoms to get to know eachother?" Wilbur suggests. I feel the tension rise slightly. I finnish my plat and pull my mask back down. The servant walks next to me and I hand them the plate. The servant walks out of the room and I look over at Wilbur then at the table. "I used to love going to royal parties..." I accidently let out. As everyone looks back ot me I quickly try to stand but King Techno grabs my arm. "Used to? Did you go to royal parties, invited?" Techno asks and I quickly pull my arm away. "You can say that..." I say speaking truth. I step away from the group of royals. "I wish to not talk about it... It's a past I'd rather not look back on." I say seeing the curiosity and confusion on everyones faces. Everyone looks over at Wilbur looks at the group. "I think a party would be great..." Says Foolish. I sigh with releaf from under my mask. "They can't find out I was a royal... Not yet anyway...A party does sound nice though..." I think to myslef.

"It's settled, you all will stay here for three days and then on the third night we will have the party!" Wilbur says with joy filling his eyes. "Is Dream going to be there?" George asks and Wilbur looks at me. "I'll be there..." I say with a nod. "My servants will show you all to your rooms... Dream can I talk with you..." Wilbur says and I nod. Everyone else leaves the room, closing the door. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean for this to happen..." Wilbur says and I laugh. Wilbur tilts his head at me confused and I say "You don't need to apologize, I knew one day everything I did would come back and bite me in the ass!" Wilbur gives a small smile. "This was one hell of a wake up call, that's for sure..." I say and Wilbur laughs. "Yeah, I wake you just for you to be yelled at as soon as you leave your room..." Wilbur says and I smile from under my mask. "I'd like to give you a tour of the castle..." WIlbur says after an aquard silence. "Of course, if I'm gonna stay I have to know where everything is." I say as Wilbur leads us out of the room. A few guards come around, one grabs the chian, the others just walk with us. "Assholes..." I mumble just loud enough that I think Wilbur heard and Wilbur chuckles.
