(Tubbo PoV)

I couldn't deal with it. It was all too much. Was he genuine. Did he actually care. No he's a coward right. He just ran away from me leaving me to die. He's not my friend, right?

He betrayed me. The bullet couldn't have made me flatline, right? Did I really die? What is going on?

My thoughts swirled like a cloud of confusion in my brain. It felt like I was navigating though a maze of mirrors, playing with my mangled minds thoughts of misconception. My head hurt like I was in a hurricane, being swept away by the harmful winds into the air. So high up that I was forever falling. Falling through these black clouds.

For a second it was like I had stopped falling. Stopped plummeting. Instead I was safe on the clouds. That's how Ranboo made me feel. Safe. They were my closest friend. I shared everything with them. My secrets, my pain, my house, my job, my heart. They had my heart in their hands. On that day I thought they had broken it. Ripped it apart. But maybe not, maybe they protected it. Carried the burden of my supposed death inside it. Never letting go, maybe, maybe I've been looking at this wrong. Maybe their telling the truth, maybe.

I needed advice from an old friend. Another thing we shared. This friendship. I needed their help. I needed to be pulled out of this out of confusion. I need to find them. Now.

(??? PoV)

All day I've been having this weird nagging sensation in my brain. Like there were eyes everywhere. Watching my every move. Counting my every breath.

I could have sworn I saw eyes in the hedge at one point. Its been putting me on edge. I tried to distract myself but I couldn't. My mind drifted back to the eyes. Always watching. Always watching. I hid deep inside my house for hours and hours feeling like any second could be my last. I hid in the safe walls of my house. I'm safe inside my house. I'm safe inside my house.

I was wrong

I was cooking some spaghetti bolognaise when I heard it, a small rustle. I ignored it but then I heard another sound. This time a door closing. For a second it was pin drop silent. The air was cold. It was like time had frozen. The house felt so empty but overflowing. Overflowing with the shadowy fears that plagued my mind. My head overflowing with anxiety and unease. My head was screaming at me. Something just isn't right. But what is it. What is it. I looked up at the clock. An hour has passed. My breath became staggered and sharp. I swallowed my fears and continued to cook dinner. There it was again. This time a banging sound on the door. All the colour left my skin and my eyes grew wide.

The door swung open

I saw a shadow

I heard a laugh

I screamed

An ear piercing scream

I made a dash for the lights

I grabbed a walking stick for a weapon

I turned the lights on

I held my breath

Waiting for the fight

But there wasn't one

It was just a coat hanger

Nothing to fear

Right?

It was all in my head

Right?

Right?

It's all in my head

So why am I scared

Why is my body cold and shaken

Why is my skin pale

Why are my eyes wide

Why is my breathing staggered

Why am I scared

If it's all in my head?

Why am I scared

If it's all in my head

It's all in my head

It's all in my head

It's my brain

Scaring me

Playing a cruel joke

On me

It's my brain

It's my head

ITS ALL IN MY HEAD

SO WHY AM I TERRIFIED

ITS ALL IN MY HEAD

ITS MY BRAIN

ITS ALL IN MY HEAD RIGHT?

RIGHT?

RIGHT?

Wrong

How very wrong


I was grabbed from behind

my head was bashed against the kitchen surface till all i could see was black.

The last thing I heard left me chilled to the very bone

"I'm coming for you Ranboo, doesn't matter how many I have to kill to get there, your breaths are numbered. Use them wisely."

Then it was silent

So how'd I do for the first chapter? Do you want more? Anyone got any ideas of who Tubbo's mystery friend is? And who's the unfortunate victim this time? Are they dead? Or just unconscious? I guess we will have to let the story unfold. You can't understand the full picture by only seeing a piece.
