I've Lost My Way

Chapter 5:

Stayed up until 6 am, remind me to not do that again
————

Tubbo rose to his feet, grabbing onto his sword's handle. He made his way out of his house, and over to his friend's.

He opened the door, taking note that no one was home. Tubbo took advantage of that and found a nice hiding spot.

Common sense screamed at Tubbo to stop. To not go through with this. But Tubbo's senses were clouded with bloodlust. "Come on, Tommy..." Tubbo whispered.

Tubbo grinned when someone walked in, but it quickly faded when both Tommy and Wilbur arrived.

"I'm telling you, Wilbur. Something is definitely wrong!" Tommy shouted.

Wilbur shook his head, "I'm not doubting you, even I could see through what Tubbo was saying."

"They don't trust me." Tubbo hissed under his breath, quickly covering his mouth to make sure he doesn't make any more noise.

Luckily, Tommy and Wilbur didn't seem to hear him. "You know.. it must be that mask. Tubbo has never acted so weird until yesterday morning— or afternoon."

Tubbo narrowed his eyes, watching as Tommy and Wilbur walked into another room. "I'll have to wait..."

Tubbo stayed in his hiding spot, ignoring how uncomfortable it is. Soon, Wilbur left the room the two were in, he was holding a sword and he left rather quickly.

Tubbo slowly and carefully crawled out of his hiding spot, and crept his way to Tommy's room.

He looked into the room, seeing Tommy sitting at his desk with his back to the door. Tubbo's grip on the sword tightened and he stepped into the room. Tommy didn't notice.

Tubbo crept closer, lifting the sword. He got closer and closer, until he got too careless and stepped on a creaky part of the floor.

Tommy whirled around and screamed, "T-Tubbo!" He gasped, and jumped out of the way as Tubbo swung his sword.

Tommy fell out of his chair, and landed on the floor. He scrambled to get up and run out the door, but as soon as he got to his feet, Tubbo stuck his leg out and Tommy tripped.

Tubbo laughed as Tommy fell, and he sat on Tommy to keep him down. "You know, I've never realized this before, but I've always wanted to do this!" He laughed more and lifted the sword again, ready to stab Tommy.

Before Tubbo could get to Tommy, a weight knocked him over from the side. "Hey!" Tubbo shouted.

Wilbur grabbed onto Tubbo's arms, holding him back. "Tubbo, what's gotten into you?!" Wilbur asked him, looking over to see if Tommy was okay.

Tommy sat up, trying to catch his breath. "Tubbo! What's happened to you?"

Tubbo didn't answer. "Let go!" He yelled at Wilbur, struggling to get free. "What do I do?!"

Tommy reached his hand over, "Tubbo, give me the mask."

Tubbo blinked at Tommy and then kicked him away, "NO!"

"You have to get free."

The voice did nothing to help Tubbo, but it filled him with some unknown strength he didn't know he was capable of.

Tubbo ripped one of his arms away, and reached for his sword. Before Wilbur could react, Tubbo freed his other arm and spun around. He slashed his sword at Wilbur, before making a run for it.

He didn't know if he landed the blow on Wilbur, but he didn't want to stay and find out. Tubbo ran out the front door, and didn't stop until he got into a pretty secluded part of the forest.

Tubbo hid behind a tree, hearing footsteps behind him. He watched as Tommy and Wilbur rushed by. Tubbo noticed that Wilbur had his arms wrapped around himself, and was limping while he ran.

Tubbo grinned in satisfaction when he realized that he must have gotten Wilbur pretty good. Tubbo stayed hidden, not wanting to risk going after them just yet.

He sat down, "What do I do now? I can't go home."

"You'll have to set me free, Tubbo."

"How do I do that?" Tubbo asked, quietly.

"You have to break the mask."

Tubbo hesitated but carefully removed the mask he was wearing. As soon as it was off, Tubbo's entire body tensed, like he needed it. He shook his head, and he snapped the mask in half.

The voice started laughing. Tubbo looked around, and flinched when someone put their hand on his shoulder.

Tubbo looked at the other person. They were the same tall figure from the dream he had the other night.

"Thank you, Tubbo."
