Festival [WilburChu]

"Let the festival begin"

Those were the last words.

The last words I heard before the chaos started.

The festival had been the core of all chaos as well as the hate that we now had to live with.

Just as Tubbo had spoken the words Schlatt broke him off. He trapped Tubbo in a little yellow box. There was nothing I could've done so I stood still and watched in horror. They had used him, bruised him, and now they were trying to abuse him and everything he stood for.

Schlatt called Techno up onto the podium. I tried to grab Techno's arm to hold him back because I knew what Schlatt was trying to do. "Don't do it", I whispered, the tears slowly forming in the corners of my eyes. He just looked at me with cold, dead eyes, broke his arm free and walked a step backwards. He was frowning at me and I knew what that meant.

Techno would stop for nothing and no one, for all he wanted was chaos. I gasped as he turned his back on me and shot up onto the podium with the help of his trident.
My eyes began burning and I tried to run. I wanted to run as far away as possible. I couldn't watch Tubbo get killed. Not for this.

Bad blocked my way and shoved me back to my seat, "stay put, Niki"
"Bad, you don't understand", I mumbled. But when I looked up I was able to see the same hollow expression form on his face. Were they all working for Schlatt, that foul, lousy excuse of a ruler?!
He was a dictator! He was using Tubbo, Quackity and everyone around him! He was a monster!

I pushed past Bad and ran. I didn't want to look back. The only thing I was able to hear was the shouting of someone who I once thought was my friend.

I ran through the woods, jumped over a few rivers and landed in the middle of another forest.
I fell to the floor.
I couldn't think.
I couldn't speak.
I was only able to cry.

After a few minutes I was able to hear a horse in the distance. As I tried to get up I stumbled and fell back down again. I wanted to cry harder and shout to defend myself but the forming headache had already gotten the best of me. Eventually I just went quiet.

As everything around me got tinted into a strange red and black light I felt someone embrace me.
I closed my eyes. I couldn't handle this anymore. All this time they had lied to me...

The person hugging me had started whispering nice things to me to calm me down. "It's all going to be okay. I'll make sure everything will be okay..."

I felt my consciousness slip away and fell into a deep slumber. When I woke up I found myself laying in a bed I didn't recognize. I didn't recognize this room at all.
As I sat up I felt a little aftereffect of the headache I've had.
I finally got up and left the room. I closed the door behind me and looked around.

I was in some kind of underground ravine...

Suddenly someone touched my shoulder and I shrieked.
"Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! I am so sorry Niki! I didn't mean to startle you...", the voice behind me said.
I turned around and saw someone I had last seen a few months ago. Wilbur. Wilbur Soot.

I immediately leaped into his arms.

"I'm sorry I sound like some creep... but I followed you when you left the festival and brought you here. Schlatt had his men search for you", he explained. I nuzzled myself into his chest. He felt so warm, so familiar, unlike all these other people at the festival.

"No, no, it"s totally fine Wil. If it weren't for you I'd probably be trapped in some dungeon right now..."
He looked me in the eyes. He looked concerned and a bit sad. His expression quickly changed to an angrier one. "I will protect you Niki, no matter the cost", he said in a low voice and I heard the sincerity in his tone.

After a few minutes he asked me a question, " Niki, do you want to blow up L'manburg with me?"
At first I stumbled back in shock. "Blow it up..?", I asked, a bit overwhelmed. He simply nodded and smiled at me.

"Niki, I know you would never betray me. I want you to do this with me. All those fake friends will pay! Schlatt will pay! They'll finally see where this tyrant got them!", he started shouting out in excitement. I could see the craziness in his eyes. There was a fire, a flame burning in his eyes.

His eyes were unlike the others'. They weren't dull and dark, instead they were lively and filled with color and expression. He was grinning at me, friendliness in his eyes. Or was it... something more?

"You're right Wilbur, I would never betray you...", I looked him in the eyes and approached him. His grin grew wider. I liked seeing his grin. It made me happy. His grin, his smile, it was sincere. It wasn't fake and I knew it. And who cared if he was going crazy?
I didn't...

Then I stopped dead in my tracks, rethinking, recalling and recalculating everything.
"... but maybe blowing up Manburg isn't the be-", I started but got cut off by him shouting the word L'manburg three times in a row.

"Don't you see what Schlatt has done?! Manburg!? I don't care about Manburg or it's citizens! I want my L'Manburg back! But I can't have it!", he shouted in despair.
"We... we could fix this, Niki. You and me. It's us against the world... They betrayed you, they betrayed me. They even betrayed Tommy and Tubbo, they just can't see it! They've all been blinded by the evil ways of this monster...", he tried to explain calmly.

He got closer to me. He gently touched my arm with his and I felt myself getting hotter.
He got even closer to my face. His cheek brushed mine and he whispered into my ear, "It's us against the world, Niki. And we can do it. Together"

He moved a few inches back and his face was barely touching mine.
His other hand was wandering up my cheek and caressing it.
"Maybe you just don't understand it yet. But we're meant to be doing this together. We're meant to be together", he quietly said and looked down to my lips.

Then he let go of me completely.
"Enjoy your stay here, Niki. If you need anything, I'll be in my office", he said and pointed to a door behind him. Then he turned around and left me.

My hand went to touch my cheek, which was burning hot.
I began to smile.

He was willing to wait for me....
Like a true friend would...
