Chapter 4: Lost

Swearing, Mentions of abuse and Crying

Tommys POV -

Tommy had sat under the cover of the bushes for a few hours now. The sun was dipping below the horizon and he was getting worried. Tubbo was yet to show up. This made him extremely anxious. What if something had happened? What if he was hurt? What if he was dead? No. He shouldn't think that way. His friend was alive and refused to believe otherwise.

1 hour had passed since the sun had set and still no sign of Tubbo. Come to think of it, Tommy hadn't seen Tubbo all day. He'd seen Schlatt, Niki, Quackity, George and Fundy but no Tubbo. That was definitely out of the ordinary because Tubbo was normally stuck to Schlatts side like glue. Why didn't he realise this sooner?

He decided to go find Niki. Maybe she had an idea of where Tubbo was. Or even better, maybe she'd seen him. Suddenly there was a noise behind him, Tommy grabbed out his sword and turned to face the intruder.

"Wilbur? What are you doing here?" Tommy asked upon seeing the familiar face.

"The same thing as you; worrying about Tubbo. You haven't seen him right?" Wilbur replied.

"No," Tommy sounded dead as he said that word. He put his sword back and looked down at the ground.

"Hey, we are going to find Tubbo. I know I say that a lot but I mean it. You have a plan I gather?" Wilbur reassured.

"Yes I do have a plan, a very good one if I do say so myself," He said straightening his back to make himself look tall. Wilbur chuckled at his childish behaviour.

"So what's the plan, Tommy?"

"We go see Niki," he replied.

"Anything else?"

"Nope. Well unless Niki hasn't seen Tubbo. Then we fucking murder Schlatt." Wilbur sighed and firmly grasped Tommy's shoulder.

"If we have to kill Schlatt to secure Tubbos safety then I will do it mercilessly, but the less bloodshed the better."

"Wilbur, I saw the scars and plasters on Tubbos face yesterday, blood has already been shed and I'm positive it won't be the last time. Tubbo could be dying for all we know. Wilbur, he could be dead!" Tommy collapsed to his knees, tears streamed down his face. Why can't he just have his friend back?

"Tommy I know you're scared. I see it in your eyes, but you have to be strong. If not for me then for Tubbo," Wilbur said, kneeling down to Tommy.

"Ok," Tommy replied, wiping his tears. Wilbur pulled him into a hug.

"You're a strong kid ya know that?" As Wilbur praised him, Tommy smiled.

"Thanks, Wilbur, now let's go see Niki."

Wilburs POV -

We arrived at Niki's place. The small bakery was hidden under a hill. It overlooked the water, and at sunset, the view was magnificent. Just what Niki loved.

Niki popped her head out as the two approached.

"Wilbur," yelled Niki as she ran into his arms.

"Shush," hushed Tommy as Niki made a huge commotion. "We're banned from these lands after all."

"What brings you guys here?" Niki queried as she released her embrace from Wilbur. Still at his side, she walked them back into the bakery.

"Have you seen Tubbo?" Tommy blurted out, not even waiting till they got inside.

"I haven't. Now that you mention it, I haven't seen him all day. I swear if Schlatt has done anything to that poor kid," Niki muttered.

"Well, shit," Said Tommy as he sat down on the ground defeated.

"I might have an idea about where he is though," Niki added. Tommy looked up at this, Wilbur could see he was running out of hope and was willing to grasp any information he could. Wilbur motioned for Niki to continue. "I figured out that it was Schlatt who was harming him as every time he would come to work looking worse and worse. So my only theory is that Schlatt took it too far," she sighed at the end of this and looked on the verge of tears.

"Thanks, Niki but I think we've overstayed our visit." Tommy walked out with his shoulders slumped and a look of defeat.

Tommy and Wilbur walked out and left Niki's homely bakery.

"Hey. don't look so defeated, we now know where Tubbo is," Wilbur said trying to cheer him up.

"Wil. we just learnt that Tubbo is being fucking abused and you're trying to tell me to cheer up!" Tommy was pissed and was having none of it. This angered Wilbur and drove horrible thoughts into his head.

"Well, what if he's not being abused. Ever thought of that? What if Tubbo is a traitor. What if he wanted this and he's working with Schlatt. Ever thought of that?" Tommy was crying and staring at Wilbur in disbelief. But Wilbur didn't care, he was spitting facts. "Cry all you like Tommy but don't come crying to me if Tubbo is a fucking traitor." At this Tommy ran. He sprinted away from the mad man leaving Wilbur all alone.

Wilbur collapsed to his knees with his hands firmly grasping his hair. What did he just do? He lost Tommy. Why would he say those things? Does Wilbur believe everything he just said? Well it's too late now, the damage has been done and he's lost Tommy. Wilbur had no one left. He was alone.
