George growled, sitting at the end of his bed.
"Tch..." he sat patiently.. waiting for anything.. any word-
"Of course I'm stuck in here... everyone on this ship is scared of me for no reason."

He's been stuck in dreams room.. because everyone is afraid of him.. afraid that he is going to hurt him..

Except a certain few... Sapnap.. ponk.... The only the weren't afraid of him..

George soon tear'd up as he adjusted himself down.. curling into a ball on the bed.
"I'm sorry Dream... it's all my fault." He covered his face shamefully.
"It's all my fault.. you wouldn't be in this mess."

He looked at the empty spot on the bed... the only spot he got to enjoy being with Dream.

George placed his hand on the empty spot.. hoping for any sense of feeling..
"You were the only one that cared.." he mumbled quietly.
"And... I was just going to leave... i was just going to leave you."

He pulled the blanket, covering his face with the blanket... he felt shameful of what he was going to do.

George was about to cry.. but was cut off when the door opened- making his attention towards the door.
"What is it.." he glared towards the door with a pissed off look.
"It better be good.."

Sapnap rested his hands on the hips.
"We've caught up to Hannah's ship.." he let out a small sigh.. tilting his head to the side.
"We are in the bare distance of it.."

"Then- we can save Dream!"
George perked up.. sitting up straight.
"How long will it take for us to get him??" He quickly smiled.

"That's the good news George.." Sapnap made his way towards George.
"I need to get to the bad news." He sounded.. upset.. hurt almost.

George quickly grew concerned, furrowing his brows.
"Why?? What's going on." He perked up straight.
"What's going on with Dream.."

"We won't be able to reach him in time.." Sapnap let out a small sigh.
"As fast as our ship is... Hannah is getting very close to the town and her ship is much faster." He stared at the ground with a soft look.
"By the time we get there... he will already be on a row boat towards the city."

George scrunched his nose.. soon furrowing his gaze at Sapnap.
"He can't get to that island Sapnap!" he said firmly.. beginning to panic.
"If he does.. we will be too late by the time we get here!"

Sapnap went quiet.
"...I know George.." he sounded- hurt..
"It's... I'm sorry George... we just can't make it.."

He had no idea how he will get Dream back- but he does now that.. george might need to move on.

"I can't be the captain.. and.. you might be casted out on the crew for it being your fault and I won't be able to fix that" Sapnap looked over at George with a sorrowful gaze.
"I'm not ready to give up on Dream... but I might just have too.." he mumbled quietly.

"You might give up on him.." George growled, walking towards Sapnap.
"I'm not." He bared his fangs.

Sapnap looked a little shocked.
"How?! We won't make it!?" He didn't understand how george was going to stop it.
"There's no point!"

"You won't make to him!" George pointed at Sapnap.
"Nor Will any crew member on this ship.." he was upset.
"But I can."

"How-" Sapnap cut himself off as his eyes widened.
"Wait..If you can... swim-" he quickly looked at George.
"You'll make it too dream!"

George made his way past Sapnap, making his way towards the door.
"I'm saving him." He looked back at Sapnap.
"Make sure to have the ship near by.."

Sapnap anxiously laughed... he was not liking this side of George- not one bit.

.: Dream POV :.

Dream wheezed, sitting up straight.
"You are such an idiot." He wrapped the blanket around Kuro.
"Stop moving so much."

Kuro whined, trying to squirm out of the blanket- reaching his arms out as he tried grabbing onto Dream.

"Kuro, you need to sleep! You've been awake all day playing" Dream laughed, shaking his head.
"Lay down.." he burrito'd Kuro in the blanket.

Kuro yawned, whining as he got tired... he didn't want to sleep.. he wanted to stay awake.

"Yeah, that's it.." Dream slowly frowned, watching as Kuro slowly drifted to sleep.
"Just.. sleep..." he took a deep breath, glancing up as he couldn't look sad at Kuro..

Kuro fell asleep in the blanket, sleeping happily in dreams arms.

Dream glanced down at Kuro.. feeling his heart break as he knew what was going to happen.
"I'm... sorry.." he whispered quietly.
"I'm trying my best Kuro..."

"Oh stop feeling sympathetic for it.."

Dream glared up, seeing Hannah having a smug like look.
"You are a monster." He said firmly- glaring at Hannah.

"No.. that thing is a monster." Hannah pointed at Kuro.
"That thing is a monster.. it's a siren" she had a disgusted look.
"You are lucky that I'm not taking him out of there and locking him in a barrel."

"Let him go." Dream held Kuro up to his chest, glaring at Hannah.
"He's a child." He let out a scoff.
"Put him back in the sea."

"I do not care" Hannah rolled her eyes.
"You've already used your jail free on George.. I'm not letting this one free... I need my money." She shook her head.
"Now get ready.. you both are getting sent to the town where my other connections will take you where you needed to go."

Dream held kudo anxiously.... Why..
"Tch.." he gritted his teeth.. what is he going to do... there's men everywhere.

Hannah waited for a few moments for more of her crew to arrive.
"It seems it's time to go." She unlocked the cage, making her way inside.
"Ready dream"

Dream held kudo away from Hannah.
"I can walk myself." He slowly stood up, staring at Hannah.
"You don't need to help me."

"Yes yes." Hannah rolled her eyes, snatching the clothed fabric from Dream.
"But this one needs to go." She held Kuro up by the blanket.

"Stop that!!" Dream tried grabbing kudo back from Hannah- but was stopped when another crew member shoved him back.. holding him back.
"Don't!" He snapped firmly.

Kudo was startled awake, struggling as Hannah held him up.. he began to cry..
"Nooo—" he cried... it was a word he learned from Dream.

"Put him down! You will hurt him!" Dream tried grabbing kudo but was shoved back again.
"He doesn't want to go!" He snapped.

"I do not care if he gets hurt." Hannah held Kuro out like he was some.. random thing.
"Put a muzzle on it and take it too the row boat..." she looked over at Dream with an annoyed look.
"And get this one tied up too.. keep him on the opposite side of the row boat."

Dream gaze sorrowed as he watched kudo get taken away...
"Tch.." he looked down..

"Come on, it's time to go."
