Arranged Marriage// dreamwastaken x reader

Chapter 6

I woke up after a restless sleep. I quietly get up trying not to wake up my sleeping cat.

I changed my outfit to the one I had laid out the night before because I decided I wouldn't have the energy to dig through my boxes looking for one.

I put on the yellow sweater, another pair of torn jeans and my classic iron boots, that at this point were about to break.

As I finished getting ready to go, no longer having an excuse to stay. I glanced at the unopened letter from Tubbo. I decided to open it.

He currently was on an exploration mission and most of the letter contained little stories of things he saw. Things I would never see. I skim through his words almost absorbing his optimism. At the very end of the letter he signs it.

See you soon,

Tubbo <3

Oh god. How was I supposed to tell him he wouldn't. I decided to write him a letter explaining the situation the best I could and put in his mailbox. So when he gets back he will understand what is happening.

After, I say goodbye to Christmas. It was a lot sadder for me than her. She just assumed I would return.

I grab my boxes and go to open the door. I take one last look at the surroundings. My little bed tucked in the corner and my compact kitchen that I never really cooked in. God I was going to miss it.

I pull myself together and start my journey. I walk and walk, following the instructions I was given. Although there came to be a point where I no longer needed it because the huge building was clearly visible.

Just like that I am at the steps of another place, which contains things I wouldn't expect. Before I could gain the courage to open the doors they open themselves.

"Welcome." an averaged built man said that I didn't recognize.

He was a little intimidating due to the fact that he was fully covered in enchanted netherite armour. However looking at his eyes he seemed to actually have a soul, at least compared to Dream.

Lost in my observation I didn't respond to him.

"Sorry where are my manners? I am Sapnap, one of Dream's friends," he said, giving a name to the face.

"Friend? Didn't know he had any?" I ask in a semi-joking tone.

He smiles. "Oh this is going to be fun."

Fun? Did this man know why I was here? Did he know that if I wasn't here my friends would die?

"Follow me."

Just like that I am past the doors and being led to God knows where by a man I just met.

We go up a cobble spiral staircase and approach a hallway dimly lit by torches. He continues walking when we approach two doors. One to the left and one to the right. He moves to his pocket where he pulls out a set of keys and after fumbling around looking for a particular one, he stops. He picks out the silver key with a crown engraved at the top. He unlocks the room.

As he opens the door I stare dumbstruck at it. This bedroom was about twice the size of my cottage. It had one window that was currently covered by cream colored curtains and a canopy bed that was against the opposite wall.

"Glad to see the room has impressed you. I will be on my way out but stay here until Dream comes."

He leaves, leaving me with time to explore the contents of the room.
