Dream whimpers quietly as he runs through dark trees, past wild animals and pretty flowers that he would've stopped to admire if he weren't in this situation. He hops over a puddle but stumbles as his hoof gets caught on a tree root that wasn't visible to him in the moment.

He cries out when he falls forwards into a tree, his head hits the hard bark. He shakes his head quickly to shoo away the sudden dizziness that clouds his brain and lets himself fall backwards onto the ground. He scoots backwards until his back hits a tree then pulls his knees up and hides his face in them.

"No no no no." He mumbles repeatably, it isn't like he has the energy to do much else.

Dream can't find it in him to look up, he knows Quackity or Sam are getting closer and will find him any minute now.

Dream squeezes his eyes shut as he prepares himself mentally for what's sure to come.

Death? Torture? Being put back in the prison? Death would surely be better then that overly warm, damp cell that smells constantly of blood. He couldn't go back there again, he just couldn't.

...

He peeks a eye open cautiously, having had them closed for the last few minutes without anything happening.

"Hello?" He calls out, voice hoarse and cracking slightly. Dream cringes slightly at the sound, his face scrunching up distastefully.

He shakes his head to clear his mind, his voice is the last thing he needs to worry about right now.

Dream freezes at the sound of leaves crunching. Granted, it could be a animal or even the wind but in the moment he assumes the worst has happened.

He shuts his eyes again, digging his head into his knees to make himself appear as small as possible. Maybe if he can't see them, they can't see him.

Dream flinches harshly when he feels a small but firm tap on his shoulder. "No!" He yelps, jerking away from the touch.

"No! Leave me alone!" He sobs out, squeezing his eyes shut tightly.

He gasps for air, still struggling away from whatever, whoever, is there. A strong hand grabs his chin, quite gently actually, and Dream feels dizzy.

He slows his movements, still gasping for air as he tries to ward the dizziness away. Curse his stupid goat genes.

"Dream?" Dream stops completely at this. He recognizes that voice..

"Tech.. no?" Dream whispers, voice small and barely there. He peeks his eyes open and watches as Techno nods, his eyebrows furrowed in concern.

The expression makes Dream burst into tears all over again.

"Hey now, you're alright." Techno croons, pulling Dream into his chest. "You're gonna be just fine." He hums, rocking them slightly.

"I jus'- an- he-." Dream sobs out brokenly, his body trembling slightly. "Shh, hush now little one." Techno soothes carefully.

Despite Techno being awkward with other people, he's amazing with kids and littles are exactly like kids.
