The Masked Bandit (dreamwastaken x reader)

Chapter Thirteen

|(Y/n)|
"Do your shoes need shining?"

The man had a smirk on his face. He had pink hair and wore a kings robe, as well as my fathers crown on his head.
"Techno.." Dream mumbled to himself. He seemed to have some unfinished business with this man.
"Techno?" I repeated questionably. Techno quickly turned to me and his face brightened. "Ah!! You must be the princess!" He said as he walked closer to me, causing Dream to stand in front of me protectively. "We realised that the southern kingdom had a princess after taking the king but.." Techno gazed to the side, squinting slightly. "..When we came back to get her, she was no where to be found." He quickly looked back to us. "You're here now though!"

Muffled shouts could be heard as two men grabbed Nick and George, quickly dragging them downstairs. Dream looked between his friends and Techno for a moment, before looking at me and grabbing my shoulders.
"I'll be back princess." He whispered. I looked up to his mask and nodded. He quickly ran after the two boys, leaving me, Techno and one of his guards. As we stood in the well lit room, I turned to him with a stern look.
"Where's my father?" He laughed at my words and simply replied. "Well, you're a little to late.." I froze.

Father..

Everything that has happened..

George, Nick.. Dream.

I made them help me for nothing..

My only family is gone..

The only person I had left..

Is dead.

I looked up to techno, my vision blurred.
"You killed him?" My voice wasn't shaken at all. I could feel wind catch my hair through the large royal balcony, my stone cold stare piercing Techno's evil one. He smirked slightly as he raised his head.
"Yes."
Without a second thought I lunged at him. I punched and kicked, screamed and cried. He just stood there, his arms crossed over his chest. "WHY?! WHY DID YOU KILL HIM?! YOU BASTARD!" Tears streamed down my face as my punches got weaker.
"Why.." I let out a choked sob as I dropped to the floor, my stomach turning. My knees felt weak, my whole body felt weak, I felt so weak. I had only ever cried like this as a child, although my tears were soon cut short when I heard a scream.

Techno stumbled back, letting out shouts of pain. I looked up to see Moki. She had jumped out at him and began to attack him. "Moki!" I quickly began to think of things to do. My knees were to weak to stand.. my bow.
Quickly grabbing my bow and arrow I targeted Techno.

I wasted no time speeding after the men who had taken George and Nick.

I couldn't leave (Y/n) alone with him for to long. Who knows what he could do to her.
"Dream! Stay with (Y/n)!" George shouted as Nick began to violently head-butt the man holding him. Taking out my axe I replied. "No! Don't worry! I've almost got it!" I began swinging my axe as I ran down the stairs, one of the swings barely missing Nicks head. "Dream! Watch it!" He scolded me, causing me to swing with a little more caution. Once we all reached the ground floor the two men ran outside. Whatever they were planning couldn't be good.

Not long after continuously fighting, George and Nick were able to escape their captors grasps, causing the two men to run away in fear. After our quick celebration we got ready to run back up to (Y/n). As I swung my axe over my shoulder, I froze at the sound of yelling. My eyes caught a glimpse of Techno and (Y/n) on the balcony. I watched as she pulled out her bow and aimed it at a struggling Techno, yet what happened next caused me to drop my axe.

|(Y/n)|
Focus (Y/n).. Focus..

I quickly let the arrow fly through the air. As I did so, I felt a strong force knock into my side.

One of Techno's guards had pushed me.

Right off the balcony.

On top of that, my arrow had missed Techno. Knocking the crown off of his head instead. He tried his best to catch it but only knocked it further, causing it to fall with me. The crown was far away from me, making it impossible for me to grab it. I felt my eyes drift shut and my body numb to the feeling of falling. The only thing keeping my conscious at that time was a voice..

"Hey, I'll protect you."

What..

"that's what friends are for princess!"

Who was..

"How's it hangin' princess?"

So nice to me.

"They call me Dream."

Yeah.. That's right. Dream.

My head began to spin as my eyes shot open. All I could see was the blurred colours of the sky.
Dream was always there when I needed him. He protected me, he bonded with me. He may have only been protecting me for the crown but.. Maybe...

The blurred colours of the blue and yellow sky began to merge together. My heart raced as my blood rushed through my veins. With all the breath I could muster up I screamed the one thing I could think of.

"DREAM!!!"

It felt as if I was floating for a moment. Until I realised that the falling feeling I had drifted away. I looked up to see a white mask looking back down at me. My eyes widened as I felt all my senses come back to me. Everything seemed brighter and louder. He came for me, he always does.

I felt us land safely onto the ground, yet I wasn't put down. Me and Dream stayed in that close position until we heard George and Nick running over. Dream put me down, causing me to wobble and quickly loose my balance once I let out a sob.
"Techno, he.. Killed the only family I had."  I lent onto Dream as I shook with emotion. I heard him chuckle as he lifted my head up by my chin.
"Are you already forgetting about us?" My eyes softened as I shook my head and turned to George and Nick.
"Uhm Dream.." George muttered, catching Dream's attention. "The crown." Looking over to where the two boys were facing we could see broke shards of gold scattered around the hard ground. I panicked and turned to Dream. "I'm so sorry!" Although whatever else I had to say quickly came to a stop as we heard clapping.
"Wow! That was quite a show!"
Looking over to the voice, a scratched up Techno stood with a smug look on his face. Dream turned to me, and shook his head. "Don't pay attention to him. You're more important to me than that crown ever will be. Now don't look so down!" I looked up to him as he grabbed his mask with one hand, slowly removing it. He placed the mask onto my face and smiled. "That's better, what a smile." I began to laugh as he stood confused. "You're such a liar." He tilted his head with an amused look on his face. He shook his head and leant down to my level, kissing the mask.
The world stopped for a moment before he leaned back up and smiled down and me.

"Be good while I chop up bacon, princess."
