Fear of death (dream smp)

31. Safety and comfort

Techno's pov

I had never left her side ever since we got back. Once the incident occurred I had fought of some people as Phil grabbed Y/n to get to the safety of our home. Dream keeps pausing around in deep thought,a our newest addition, which was Ranboo came to check up now and again. I was hoping she would wake up soon, the tension was killing me. The thought of her dying made my stomach clench, I didn't ever want to lose her. I stared at her scarred face, wondering how such a pure soul could have so much harm and betrayal befall on them. Yet she stayed with me, through all the battles and through all the running, she stayed. I was going to make it my mission to make sure that she was safe, away from Quackity and away from anyone else who could harm her.

Y/n's pov

Stirring awake, my blurry vision suddenly subsided, no one seemed to be inside the room. After stretching out my muscles are tried to think back to what previously happened, it all felt very vivid, but I could remember nothing else other than that moment effortlessly clearly.
As I tried to get up, I stumbled slightly and gained my balance. Rubbing my eyes I made my way for the door, but someone opened it before I could. Techno stood at the door, his eyes widened before I felt his strong arms wrap around me in a tight hug.
I smiled softly, leaning against his chest, feeling a sense of warmth in my stomach.

"Hey there" I chuckled softly.
"I am so glad you are awake. We have been worried sick." He said finally pulling away.
"Who's we?" I asked.
"Dream, Phil, Ranboo and Me."

I was partly saddened that Sapnap wasn't there but then again I don't think the others would have allowed him near me, or maybe he didn't want to see me at all.

After a while of speaking with Techno we finally headed downstairs, to greet the others. Phil greeted me with a big smile, scooping me into a gentle hug since my muscles still aches from previous battles.
"It's good to see you." He smiled.
I nodded in thanks, taking in the fresh air that wafted through the windows and the strong smell of wood gave me a sense of feeling calm.

We spoke for some time the three of us. Speaking at the battle that we won, how we all fought with such courage and valiant, and also how we worked as a team. Thanks to Dream the government was destroyed allowing us to be free from Governments rule, but I did know that some would come after us in cold blood. But for the time being I brushed the thought aside allowing myself to stay calm in order to not worry myself.

The front door opened, Dream walked in without a clue that I was awake. His eyes widened too, a big smile appearing on his face.
"Y/n" he said softly walking towards me, embracing me into a hug.
I laughed as he pulled away putting his hands on my shoulders and giving me a soft smile.
"I was wondering when you were going to wake up." He laughed.
"Can't take me down that easily." I smiled.
"Indeed, you are the strong one after all." Techno joked.
I rolled my eyes with a smile, "definitely Techno, definitely."

So we sat around the fire for some time. Making a toast to our victory in front of the warmth of the fire and the surrounding of the people that give off a comforting aura. I felt at home, finally. In the presence of these people for once I felt safe and complete. However a part of my heart always ached at the loss of Wilbur, but then again maybe it was good he wasn't here to witness such destruction.

"A toast to us, an unlikely group that somehow was led to glory!" Phil laughed lifting his cup.
"Indeed, in light of such events I see us running into battle with bravery, leaving with a bloody axe in turn. But we remain victorious in a way that no one else would have been able to see. I see this as a time to relax in the moment. The new day will bring us challenges." I commented.
"Spoken like a true poet Y/n." Techno chuckled.

As we shared a moment of silence, suddenly I heard a loud continuous bang on the door.
"Help! Help!" A familiar voice shouted out.
"Sapnap." I said quickly getting up and opening the door, the pure face of horror looking at me.
"It's Quackity, he wants to-"
"Hey Sapnap its okay, come in quickly." I said reassuringly, looking for any other injuries, his clothes were blood soaked.
"What did they do to you?" Dream asked looking at his old friend with a saddened look.
"He tortured me for info, something to do with you guys, but I knew nothing. So when I could I just ran." He was slumped against the wall, his breathing very wheezy.
"Phil tend to him." I said quickly going over to grab my weapon.
"Dream, Techno guard the doors. I'm going to go out there myself." I said lowly.
"Y/n are you sure?" Techno lightly grabbed my arm.
"Just make sure you and the others are safe." I said before opening the door.

Cold wind hit my face.
"COME OUT AND FIGHT ME QUACKITY" I yelled across the vast snidely landscape.
In the snow that surrounded me I kept turning making sure I wasn't getting attacked from the back.
"FACE ME!" I yelled again.
And in the distance I saw the silhouetted figure of a man who i loathed to see.

"We meet again Y/n" Quackity said with a smirk.
"Oh I'm going to fuck you up."
