The Raven and The Wolf [discontinued]

Memories

"And do you know what they did to him, Tommy?" Tommy and everyone else stood there in shock, "They exiled him," Tubbo looked at Techno in disbelief, "But if you want to be the hero Tommy, that's fine," Techno said turning to the half-built withers, "Technoblade don't do this!" Tommy said, "If you want to be the hero," Techno looked down at the blackened skull in his hand, "Then die like one!"

Tommy quickly sat up. Sweat rolled down his face as he sighed, "That's a new one," he stood up. The nightmares didn't stop, although he wasn't just seeing Wilbur anymore, nightmares of his father's best friend who was like an uncle to him, now echoed through his head as he slept.

Tommy wiped the sweat off his face, "I guess you were right Techno."

Fundy sat in his house, a knock on the door caught his attention. He walked over and opened the door to see Ghostbur standing there a smile on his face, "Hello Fundy," He happily greeted his son, "Oh, hello Ghostbur," Fundy said.

Fundy stared at Ghostbur who stood at the door, "Do you want anything," he finally asked getting annoyed. Ghostbur shook his head, "I just wanted to come say hello to my son, may I come in?" Ghostbur smiled widely, "Sure," Fundy hesitantly said.

Ghostbur walked inside and looked around. A guitar that sat propped in the corner caught his attention, "I don't remember you playing guitar," Fundy walked over to him, "I don't, it used to be yours," Fundy said, "Can I play it?" Ghostbur asked looking at it intently, "Sure," Ghostbur happily walked over and picked it up.

He sat down on the floor, Fundy froze as Ghostbur started playing a familiar song. Memories of his childhood flooded into his mind.

Wilbur sat in the house, reading a letter, Dear Wilbur, I hope you are having a good holiday. I know it's been a few years since you moved out but it still feels weird to spend a holiday without you here. Tommy has been bugging me to talk to you. How is your son? We hope to see you two soon, Sincerely Philza.

Wilbur smiled as he read the letter from his father. He took out a piece of paper to write back. Dear Phil, Fundy has been doing great- Wilbur was interrupted by a crash from the other room.

He raced into the room to see Fundy sitting on the ground the table fallen over beside him. Tears streamed from his eyes as he looked at his knee.

Wilbur walked over to his son, he saw that he had hit his knee most likely trying to climb on to the table. Fundy looked at his father, "Don't worry just a scratch," Wilbur told him, but tears remained in the young kid's eyes.

Wilbur pulled his son into a hug, he hummed a small tune, and sang to him, "If I could just break one more night, maybe I could wake up and feel alright."

  Tommy sat around waiting, Dream had come by almost every day and he expected him to do the same today.

He hated sitting around but it was the only thing he could do. The thought of his brother haunted him, he had betrayed him, he had no one but Tubbo and now he had betrayed him as well.

Tommy stared off, he never thought he would say it but, Dream was the only one he trusted. He didn't know why he trusted him, he just did. Ranboo hadn't been visiting which upset Tommy even more.

He quickly looked over his shoulder as he heard footsteps approaching. Dream walked towards him a smile on his face, "Hello Tommy," Dream spoke, "Hey Dream, "Tommy stood up.

He grabbed his sword and outstretched it in front of him expecting Dream to take it. Dream smiled and pushed Tommy's hand back, "I won't take your stuff today, considering we're friends, right?" Dream said.

Tommy hesitated for a moment, Dream calling him a friend felt so weird, "Y-Yeah," Although he was happy to be allowed to keep his items.

Dream smiled and walked past him still talking with his back turned to Tommy, "And since we're friends I have a deal for you," Dream said.

Tommy was confused yet curious, "What is it?" Dream turned around to look at Tommy once more," Tommy, Tubbo betrayed you, aren't you mad?" Dream said, Tommy was shocked, "Y-Yeah but-" Dream cut him off, "Don't you want revenge?" Dream said looking at him expectingly, "I- Dream I don't know," Dream looked disappointed in his answer, "Tommy you gave everything to L'manburg, and simply at my word he threw you out," Dream said, Tommy, looked to the side, "You trusted him, and he betrayed your trust, Tommy, you can't tell me that you don't want revenge," Dream continued, Tommy stayed silent.

Dream held out his gloved hand, "Take my hand Tommy, I'll let you return to the Dream smp and together we will destroy L'manburg, and get your justice," Dream offered. Thoughts raced through Tommy's head, Tubbo had betrayed him, this wasn't Dream's fault, it was Tubbo's.

Tommy looked up at Dream who kept his hand outstretched. He lifted his hand, he hesitated, was he really going to betray Tubbo? No, he never betrayed Tubbo, Tubbo betrayed him. Tommy took his hand, not a hint of hesitation left in his eyes.

Dream smiled and shook his hand, "It's a deal then."
