!Big TW for this chapter!
You turned to face them and saw Dream, Wilbur and Salmon.
Oh no. Does this mean-
Dream stepped closer.
'I know you've known..' He muttered.
He reached towards his pocket and grabbed something out. A knife.. You had to think fast but nothing would come to mind. Dream raised the knife. You put your arms up and screwed up your face, waiting for the blade to pierce your skin, but it never did. You slowly lowered your arms and opener your eyes. You were both shocked and terrified. Alex was standing between you and Dream, his arm up with Dream's blade right through his palm. Blood streamed down his wrist, settling in his bandages and dropping onto the floor.
'Woah, woah, trying to kill people already?' He smirked, trying to ignore the pain.
'What are you doing..' Dream replied.
'You didn't wonder who had been telling Y/N everything?' Alex said.
Alex pulled the blade out of his hand and discarded it onto the floor. He pulled a gun out of his jacket and pointed it at Dream.
'When did you-' You began.
'This is no time for questions Y/N, we need to stop this.' Alex responded, not looking at you.
Illyria tried to run to Alex but Wilbur grabbed her, a blank expression on his face.
Alex's finger crept closer to the trigger as him and Dream glared at each other, both refusing to look away. He pulled it. He pulled the trigger and time seemed to slow almost to a halt as the bullet flew across the room. Blood still poured from Alex's hand, staining his bandages and jacket sleeve a bright crimson. As the bullet raced towards Dream, he jumped out of the way and it lodged into the wall behind him. Before anyone could think of what to do next, Dream had run towards Alex and stabbed his sword through the other boys stomach.
'No!' Illyria yelled as Wilbur let her go and she ran towards the scene. Alex fell to his knees, dropping the gun. You and Illyria ran to him and she laid him in her arms.
'Don't die on me. Alex please don't die on me. Listen, I'll find Jeremy or someone who can help you and we'll save you.. I'm begging you, just don't die yet, I swear to god, if you-'
'I could only go on so far with you, now you've got to go on without me.' Alex murmured.
A tear rolled down Illyria's cheek and onto Alex's own as he stared up at her. He put his hand on her cheek and wiped away the remaining tears, then smiled at her.
'See you on the other side, mi amor.' He smiled as he fell limp in Illyria's grasp.
'No- NO! Alex please, wake up! It isn't funny!' She cried.
She was like a broken record, pleading the same tragic words, over and over again.
It was all a blur.
'Illyria,' You muttered, 'He's gone...'
You moved closer to then and carefully moved your hand over Alex's face to close his eyes.
'There,' You moved away, 'Now he's sleeping..'
More and more tears began to fall from Illyrias eyes and she buried her face in Alex's shoulder.
You tried to hide it as tears began to also fall from yours. Salmon and Wilbur looked at each other on the other side of the room and both smirked.
It was at that moment that you realised Dream had begun to edge closer. You grabbed Alex's abandoned gun and pointed it at him, trying not to cry anymore than you already were. You had told yourself that you wouldn't trust anyone here, yet with some people you couldn't help befriending them, but now look where that had lead you, now one of them was dead and you probably would be too soon. You couldn't do anything about it. Maybe if he hadn't saved you earlier he'd be here and this wouldn't have continued. Not like this atleast..
You tried to shoot but the gun was now empty. You looked around and saw the knife from earlier but it was out of reach. You knew you had to get Dream out of the way if you wanted any chance of reaching it. You couldn't push him over but by miracle you managed to push him back, just enough to buy you time. You got past him and grabbed the weapon.
While your back was turned you heard movement behind you and then Illyria gasp. You turned your head and saw Illyria fall to the ground. Dream got to her before you could get the blade.
Oh no, this can't be happening. It was all your fault.
You stood up and backed towards the door as Dream turned to you. He edged closer every time you moved back. You looked to Wilbur and Salmon who were now next to you. Salmon looked slightly upset, then sighed after a moment of thought and pushed you to the doorway, then followed.
'Run.' They said.
You didn't want to leave them here but you knew your friends were gone, it was over.
You could barely feel anything in the moment, you couldn't tell if you were crying, screaming, breathing, or anything. It felt surreal.
You took one last glance at Alex and Illyria, then your older brother.
'I hate you Wilbur.'
Then you ran as fast as you could, Salmon next to you the entire time, through endless corridors and rooms. You heard Dream's footsteps behind you.
'Run faster, you can finally escape.' They said.
'You mean we can finally escape.' You added.
A look of solemn fell onto their face.
They lead you through what felt like infinity until you got to a door.. The door. Honestly you'd though that the door had just disappeared at this point.
'Go on.' They told you.
'You aren't coming?' You asked.
'That's the thing Y/N.. we can't escape, when we agreed to help Dream we lost our freedom. There is no way out.'
You felt sorry for them, extremely sorry for them. Footsteps could be heard behind them, getting closer and closer.
'Go on.' They tried to smile.
You thought of Tommy. I'll escape for you.
You saw Dream's pale mask behind Salmon.
You nodded and then walked through the door..
'Until we meet again.'
Your brother Tommy woke you up. It was all just a Dream?
'Y/N. You seemed to be having a nightmare, you okay?' He exclaimed.
You looked at him, then sat up and hugged him as tightly as you could. He was very taken aback.
'Well you might aswell get ready, Phil said that breakfasts nearly done.' He said once you finally let go.
He left the room and you got up and looked around.
None of that really happened? It felt so real.
You went downstairs and saw your brothers Wilbur and Techno already seated at the table, and Philza cooking. You sat down with them and Phil brought some plates over.
Tommy walked downstairs and headed to the door.
'You aren't going to eat with us?' Techno asked.
Tommy shook his head and left.
You couldn't stop thinking about that dream you just had so you decided to tidy your room to clear your mind. You were sorting through some boxes when you found a phone, a pretty old one at that and also extremely small and cracked, but it was still a phone.
It was getting late so you decided you'd go to sleep and look at it tomorrow.
The next morning you were sat in the living room looking through photos on the phone when Phil came to you,
'Y/N, Tommy's missing.'
At that moment you scrolled onto the very last photo taken on the phone, a group selfie taken sitting on a bed in a dusty looking room, a blue jacket, a small top hat, fishnets, and you were the one who took it.

I can't believe this is finally done, all the time I've been thinking of ideas for this and I've been planning the ending for so so long and here it is lol. It's felt like forever since I started this, it was originally just a small story starter I thought of about a chase that I didn't really expect to ever finish or even turn into a full story, and then it turned into a Dream SMP story, and then this. I hope you enjoyed it! <3
Maybe I'll rewrite this when I get better at writing? Who knows 👀
