Sleepy Fantasy

Chapter 9

"What, how, when," Tommy stammered, Drista chuckled at his almost identical reaction to Tubbo, "Sapnap!"

"Hi, I may have accidentally told them how you died because I thought they knew," Sapnap explained, "and I think these are our fourth and fifth members."

"Wait, me and Tommy," Wilbur asked, "why are you so confident that the prophecy involves all of us."

"You know, prophecy," Tommy asked, "what?"

"I don't know, just a gut feeling," Sapnap said, "which I know it's much but I hardly get feelings like this."

"Will someone please talk to me, how in hell do you know how we died, why is this prophecy suddenly so important," Tommy demanded.

"It's a long explanation," Sapnap said, he picked up his scroll and showed it to Tommy, "you're welcome to read my notes."

"No thanks, short version please, and how do you know about the cabin fire," Tommy said, he didn't want to be ignored.

My brother burned down your cabin Tommy's eyes widened as he heard Drista's thoughts, it was as if just for a second her mind had become an open book.

"You're what?!" Tommy demanded, looking right at her.

"What," Drista glanced around, "Me?"

"Yes," Tommy said, still not believing what had just happened, "I heard one thought of yours, clear as day."

"Well keep it to yourself," Tubbo said, "you shouldn't be poking around in people's minds."

"But she's, her brother is-" Tommy stammered.

"It doesn't matter, Tommy," Philza said, putting a hand on his shoulder, "her actions matter, not her family's."

"But-" Tommy protested.

"Thomas," Phil said strictly and Tommy stopped himself from saying anything else.

"What's the plan, Sapnap," Drista said, trying to ease into a different topic.

"We need to get to the Northern Palace," Sapnap spread out another map, one of the human world, "It was built onto the side of the mountain, hidden from anyone that would fly over. There's multiple villages we could hide in on the way and get supplies if needed."

"Small problem, we have a ghost and demon," Tubbo pointed out, "and I'm pretty sure angels aren't public knowledge."

"And traveling through the human world is a bad idea, because hello vampire here," Drista said, "plus aren't there war fronts scattered along your world, if we want to have safe passage our best bet is to travel through our world. Only crossing over if we need supplies."

"I suppose you've got a point there," Sapnap said, "do you guys happen to have a map of this world?"

"I can secure one," Philza said.

The door was suddenly opened again, this time it was the last person they'd expect to be there. Technoblade. "You guys have to go. Whatever crazy plans you have are going to have to wait."

"What's going on," Tommy asked, finally, something he could do.

"A shadow demon helped an assassin crossover, I heard them talking about the prince here," Techno explained.

"This human didn't happen to wear thin green plated armor," Sapnap asked.

"And a white chainmail mask with a black smile," Tommy added.

"How did you two know," Techno asked.

"Clay befriended a shadow demon yesterday, it's only logical that they would come looking for me," Sapnap said, then he gathered up all of the scrolls and put them back into the bag, "we have to go before they catch up, whether we have a map or not. Don't worry sir, I'll make sure nothing happens to your sons."

"Hold up, where the hell are Tommy and Wilbur going," Techno raised his hands up, trying to figure out what was going on with them.

"We're all going to the northern peaks," Drista answered, "I want you to stall for me."

"Yes ma'am," Techno said, but Tommy was uneasy by the tone of voice he had used. Technoblade was smart, and he never liked taking orders, not if he could do anything about it.

"I'll try and get a message to some friends up north," Philza said, "I'll join you as soon as possible." He put a hand on each of their shoulders. "Stay safe you two, Tommy listen to Wilbur."

"I'll see you soon," Tommy said, hugging him, "nothing's going to happen to us." He glanced back at Tubbo and Drista, making a silent oath to protect them at any cost, if anyone deserved to come back it was them. "any of us."

"I have to return to the manor, I'll try to draw them away from you," Techno said before running off into the moonlit trees.

"It's time to go," Sapnap put a hand on Tommy's shoulder, he couldn't imagine how hard this could be on him. Tommy was leaving his family and it very well could be the last time they see each other. It hadn't been hard for Sapnap to run away because the king had always been cold toward him, Clay and he seemed to be drifting apart, it looked like the one true friend he had was Quackity.

"Okay," Tommy said, pulling back from the hug and standing up straight. "Let's go."

The group left the cabin the moon shining bright above them. The underland where they lived didn't function the same as the human world, the only sense of time was when the moon disappeared from the sky, plunging their world into complete darkness each night. It provided a safe place for vampires to live without having to worry about the sun. The darkness wasn't a problem for any of the creatures who were meant to live down there like demons, werewolves, and vampires with their improved night vision. Any warlocks or angels would be unable to travel through the night without a light source.

Tommy remained silent, he couldn't stop thinking about that group of boys he ran into earlier. Tubbo and Wilbur had begun to sing, laughing as they did. Sapnap stood tall and proud like he was taught, but he didn't feel this way. He was running from his friends, friends who could very well kill him if they wanted.

"What's the plan once we get to the Northern Palace," Drista asked him.

"My uncle lives there, he's been wanting to have peace talks for years but was always unable to because of my father," Sapnap explained, "we can go under the guise I'm here on orders from him. You, Tommy, and Wilbur as representatives."

"I wish I had known," Drista said, talking about the peace talks, "I would have pushed for the Count to try and meet with him. Although he might've ended up betraying your uncle."

"Yeah, we've always been told vampires aren't the most trustworthy creatures," Sapnap said.

"Well that's no myth," Drista giggled, "you alright Tommy?"

"Yeah, just thinking," Tommy said absentmindedly.

"Wait he can do that," Sapnap chuckled, making Drista burst out laughing.

"Hey," Tommy protested, lightly shoving Sapnap aside with his elbow.

"You know I'm joking, child," Sapnap said.

"Don't call me a child," Tommy said.

"Child," Drista said.

"You're a child too!"

There's no way I could go without including that bit. I know they may have become friends a little quickly, but that happens when you have someone who's fatal flaw is trust. And I need story, I don't like writing filler even though I really should. Thanks all for reading and please vote and comment!

Peace out YouTubers from around the world!
