Winter Wonderland (A Dream x OC x Technoblade (platonically))

Lost in the Woods

Sobs echo throughout the dense forestry as the small form of a woman slouches against a tree. She wiped furiously at the tears running down her face, trying so desperately to stop crying. The young woman was hurting, she was wronged by the one person that she loved over all. They were supposed to be there for each other no matter what and all Dream did was push her away.

'Where did I go wrong?' She wondered. 'Was it something that I did? Was I the one that pushed him away? I shouldn't have left for that month, I should've stayed home.'

More sobs echoed throughout the forest as Amelia let all her emotions out. She wailed and punched the tree behind her a few times. After a few good minutes of punching things, she finally stood and continued walking in whatever direction she chose.

Amelia eventually reached the edge of a snowy tundra and put on a brave face, pushing on into the cold terrain. She absentmindedly rubbed her arms and hugged herself, the metal armor on her body doing nothing to help her keep warm. Her body shook in the cold as she looked around for any sign of life. She couldn't see where she came from anymore as the snow already covered her tracks.

"Hello?! Is anyone here?!" She cried out, hoping that it would fall upon someone's ears. "Please, I'm freezing out here!"

'It's cold as fuck out here..is this it? Is this where I die?'

Amelia held her arms close to her chest and leaned against a nearby spruce tree. She slowly slid down the tree and tucked her head in between her legs.

"Please..." She whispered, giving in to the growing exhaustion.

The sound of crunching snow steadily became louder as it neared Amelia. A young man approached her frail form and kneeled down, reaching his fingers towards her neck. The man's shoulders visibly relaxed as he found her pulse, delicately picking her up in bridal style. He reached up and untied the blue cloak around him, sweeping it around to cover the woman.

Amelia's eyes slowly opened and found herself in an unfamiliar home. She sat up and quickly brought a hand up to her throbbing head. A cup clinked on the glass table beside her, drawing the woman's attention to the young man sitting to her left.

The man was tall and had a sturdy build, his pink hair being the most striking of his features. He had a sharp jawline with equally sharp eyes and his nose was slightly crooked, probably due to a previous break. A blue military uniform adorned his body, the many status pins almost sparkling in the light from the fireplace. This man looked like he had seen a lot of things in his lifetime.

Amelia gulped and looked to his right, seeing the coffee table on which the cup was set upon, as well as a mask that resembled that of a pig. The tusks on the mask stood out like a sore thumb, just as Amelia did in the small home. She brushed a delicate hand through her teal hair, only then noticing the absence of her armor. Her eyes darted around the room and found it resting on an armor stand across the room.

The man raised an eyebrow at her before sighing. He shook his head and let his hair out of its ponytail. His hands ruffled through it quickly before settling on the armrests of the chair again.

"You're awake." He stated.

"Uh..yeah. That's what my eyes being open means." Amelia looked at the man skeptically as she said this.

The man shakes his head and scoffs at the woman's tone. He crosses his arms across his chest.

"What are you doing all the way out here? The main kingdom is thousands of blocks away."

Amelia's face scrunched up in thought. She had been running from something, or someone, but she couldn't quite remember who or what. Her head slowly shook as she tried to recall, but it felt like something was blocking the memory.

"I..I can't really remember? The last thing I remember is coming home after a long trip. Well, wherever home was for me." She sighed deeply. "Obviously it's not here judging from how tense you are."

His tense shoulders relax a bit, huffing softly. He seems to have an internal debate before standing up and walking past Amelia into the open kitchen.

"Wait," she called out, "I'm A-"

"I know who you are, Amelia." The man cuts her off. "I'm.." he paused, seemingly contemplating his next words, "I'm Nathan, Nate for short." He finished his introduction with a wince.

"Uhh nice to meet you, Nate. How do you know who I am?"

"My brothers know someone that you're close to. Their names are Tommy and Wilbur. I doubt you remember them, though, as you don't remember the kingdoms." He waved a dismissive hand.

"Ok then." Amelia took a quick glance out the window. "Well, it looks like we'll be stuck here for a while."

Nate nodded and brought in a bowl of soup for Amelia.

"Seems like it." He sat down in the chair across from her.

"Let's get to know each other, yeah?"
