The New Start

Chapter 58

I know it's been a while since the last chapter was posted, but now and until school starts again in August I think there will be at least one chapter per week. Maybe more, but I can't promise that.

========================================================

3rd persons pov:

George knocked on the door, three knocks followed by three new ones, habit he guessed. And then he waited, waited form someone to open the door, hoping- no praying that someone was home. That Sapnap hadn't done too much harm.

Finally, the door creaked open, revealing Phil standing there, his eyes widening in surprise and disbelief. "George?" Phil exclaimed, his voice filled with a mixture of shock and joy. "Is that really you?"

"Yes. Yes, it's me." 

"I thought-" Phil looked confused at the boy standing in front of him, eyes squished together. "Sapnap..."

"he did..." George looked down at his boots for a second. "He did kill me, but it wasn't my last, it wasn't final. Unlike a lot of you I haven't actually been in that many wars. "

Phil's expression softened, and he quickly pulled George into a tight embrace. "You're safe now, George. We're all here for you. Come inside, come in."

As George stepped over the threshold, he looked around, taking in the familiar surroundings of Phil and Techno's cabin. He had been there just days ago, but it felt like an eternity. Maybe that was what death felt like. It was all so strange, yet familiar.

"Techno! Dream!" Phil called out, his voice carrying a mix of urgency and excitement. "Come quickly! George is here, he's alive!"

Within moments, Techno and Dream appeared, their expressions transitioning from confusion to elation as they saw George standing there, alive and well.

Dreams's eyes welled up with tears as relief washed over him. "Georgel," he choked out, his voice filled with emotion. "I... I thought I had lost you all. I thought... I thought Sapnap..."

"Dream," George murmured, his voice choked with relief. "I... I thought I'd lost you too."

Tears streamed down George's face as he embraced Dream once more.

"Don't you ever be so stupid again, George," Techno grumbled, his voice laced with a mix of concern and annoyance. "You scared the hell out of us. We're a team, remember? We look out for each other. So, don't you dare go off on some reckless adventure without us again."

George sniffled, wiping away his tears with the back of his hand. "I... I won't, Techno. I promise," he replied, his voice filled with sincerity. "I've learned my lesson."

Techno nodded, a rare hint of vulnerability flickering across his stoic expression. "Good. Because we need you, George. We can't afford to lose you."

He took a deep breath, composing himself, before Phil ushered them to the living area of the cabin.

"Come, let's sit down," Phil said, his voice gentle as he guided them towards the comfortable couch. "I'll make some tea. We have a lot to talk about."

They settled down, their bodies sinking into the cushions as Phil busied himself in the kitchen, the clinking of mugs and the sound of boiling water filling the air. The atmosphere was tense, but there was the same feeling of home they all shared, even the cabin may only be Techno and Phil's home, it felt like home for all of them.

"I... I need to tell you what happened," George began, his voice wavering slightly. "Sapnap... He's changed. He has twisted himself into something... something dark and dangerous.
