Trapped
Tommy and Tubbo followed Dream through the woods. As much as he wanted to run the other way as fast as he could, Tommy knew that he couldn’t outrun Dream and would just be putting himself in more danger.

“Stop,” Dream said. He turned around to them and handed them something. A bottle of something. “Drink this,”. Tommy looked at him. Dream tilted his head “Drink it,” he said. Tommy stood there looking at him. Then, Dream went to grab his axe and Tommy and Tubbo both reluctantly grabbed the bottle and drank it.

Tommy felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier by the second. He leaned against a tree to try to stay awake but soon enough, caved in to the pressure and fell to the ground, passed out.

Tommy woke up in a cold, dark, stone room. He panicked Where is Tubbo? He looked around the room and saw Tubbo laying in the corner of the room. He ran over and started shaking his shoulders, trying to get him to wake up. “Tubbo? Tubbo wake up!” he said quietly. Tubbo rolled over. He slowly started opening his eyes. Tommy could see the fear filling up in his eyes as he realised that this wasn’t their home.

“T-Tommy? Where are we?” Tubbo asked, sitting up and looking around. “I don’t know. I lost all my things I had on me,” Tommy said. The two of them sat there in silence until they heard footsteps. They sat there, panicking. It wasn’t like they could do anything to protect themselves. They were sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

That's when a door opened. Tommy hadn’t even realised that there was a door. “Hello, nice to see that both of you are finally awake,” Dream said. You could practically hear the smile on his face. “Dream, you green bastard, let us go!” Tommy yelled at him “Please Dream, please we just wanna go home,” Tubbo said.

Suddenly, the room was lit up as Dream lit his lantern. He sat it down on the floor right next to the door. Tommy looked at Tubbo and realised that they were both still covered in ash from the explosion at L’Manberg.

Then, he remembered what happened to Wilbur. That had been the first time he had seen his father in a while. He wasn’t sure that he wanted to see him again. Tommy looked at Dream and remembered what was going on.

“I know that both of you are wondering something along the lines of ‘How long do I have to stay here?’ and, well, I don’t know. It’s really more of how long I can use both of you two.” Dream paused “That sounds worse than it is, but I mean it’s not wrong. Once neither of you are of use, you’ll be out of here,” Dream said. Tommy could see him smiling. That was another thing. He didn’t have his mask on. Tommy had never seen Dream without it and it was weird to see his face.

“D-Dream,” Tommy said, looking at the floor. Dream tilted his head “Yes?” “What-, I-, what happened to Wilbur? Is he ok?” Tommy asked him. Tears were building up in Tommy’s eyes. “T-Tommy, W-Wilburs dead,” Dream said. He paused before looking down “I’m sorry,”. Tommy sat there, staring at the floor, crying. Wilbur was dead.

That’s just what Dream says! He could be lying! No. Tommy could tell just by the way that he was talking that this was the truth. Tommy looked over at Tubbo and saw that he was crying too. Tommy sat there, crying. He didn’t know how long but soon he realised that Dream had left.

After a while, Dream came back. This time with food. He dropped it off without saying a word and left. Tommy had noticed that there was a ‘bed’ in the corner for him and another for Tubbo. The ‘bed’ was a thicker blanket on the floor with a thinner blanket on top and a pillow. It’s better than nothing, he thought to himself.

He went over to see the food that Dream had left them. There was a bag with some bread and fruit in it. He split the bread and gave half to Tubbo as he sat down and ate his and an apple. Tubbo had some berries.
