Protecting you

Chapter 16

'~Wilbur~'

I stare at George as he reaches his hand out towards mine. I take it gingerly as he leads me towards a meadow. I see Skeppy lying in the field, there's an apple tree to the left and a clear lake to the right.

"Welcome home." George says as he sits down next to Skeppy. The two look at me with warm smile, I can see a few others in the distance. People I don't know, they look somewhat familiar, but I can't tell.

"Those are the fields of prediction, those who are soon to join us. They only show people you know personally." Skeppy says as he looks over with clouded eyes. I look over before shaking my head and turning my back to the rolling fields.

"Predictions don't always come true." I say.

'~Tommy~'

I'm lying on the floor of my bedroom, Tubbo cried himself to sleep about 15 minutes ago. I stopped crying 5 minutes ago, it's not that I'm not sad, I just don't have the fluids to continue. I hear a small sniffle come from Tubbo's side of the room.

"Are you awake?" I whisper out as I turn my head towards him. I see his figure flinch slightly before shuffling around to face me.

"No..." He mumbles as he brings the covers up to his face, almost covering his nose like a mask. I shake my head before standing up and walking over to the Tubbo lump. I set my hand on his shoulder and immediately notice how cold he is.

"Why are you so cold?" I ask as I rub his shoulder a little bit. He shrugs before leaning into my hand slightly. I sigh before sitting on his bed and looking down at him.

"Tubbo... C'mon you know you can speak to me." I say as I move my hand to play with his hair. He sighs before moving to sit up.

"It's just... first we lost George, now Wilbur, who's gonna be next?" He mutters out in a squeaky voice. I shake my head before making eye contact with him.

"No one, no one is going to be next. I promise alright?" I whisper as I continue to play with his soft brown hair. He mutters something I don't quite catch before closing his eyes. I feel him lean into my hand and watch his breathing slow. I promise.

'~Techno~'
"Alright, we've found out more about the kid. He's father raped him after getting drunk, his mother was a drug addict and his older sister committed suicide, we presume that she had the same treatment." Phil says as he looks through the file. I hear Sapnap growl slightly.

"We've also done research, it appears the child has something called DID, meaning he has more than one personality states, with different memories that switch to avoid traumatic memories, or as a way to protect Teddy. Teddy seems to be the host since he's the one who's around more, but we can't know for sure." Nikki says. I shake my head, poor kid. He's had to go through things he shouldn't have had to go through.

"Right, the only other co-consciousness we've gotten to know well is Levi, he's 18 and appeared a week after his sister committed. Then there's Harrison and Juliana who we don't know much about, Levi seems very protective though and was extremely cautious with everyone he met when he was in control." Bad says as he flips through his own notebook. I groan before rolling my eyes and getting up. I don't want to listen to this bullshit.

As I walk out I see Teddy, or someone in the courtyard. I walk out to him to check to see if the kid is alright, I see him immediately turn around with flashing eyes.

"Oi, I'm not here to hurt you." I say putting my hands up. I see his gaze flicker to my gun, I sigh before taking it out and throwing it away. I sit down on the ground waiting for him to speak.

"I wouldn't bring guns anywhere near us, it's how Teddy's sister died." He says, I look up with a raised eyebrow. I'm clearly not talking to Teddy right now.

"Harrison, I'm 14." He says before turning to look at me fully. I nod before standing, assuming that he no longer sees me as a threat.

"So, tell me more." I say, I watch Harrison cock his head to the side in confusion. "I mean... About how the whole Teddy to Levi to You to Juliana works."

"Well... Sure."

I'm ending it here because I don't wanna butcher it more than I most likely have. Tell me if I described something wrong in any way please!
