Chapter 23

I tried my best to come up with a better plan. I thought that I could just get one of the guards to ransack him but he was smart. He could've easily hid a knife in one of his pockets and just use the totem of undying on himself. He knows I am too desperate to risk losing my chance to save Dream.

That night I snuck into the room where they keep a lot of their keys. Sapnap had told me that at one of the lessons. At least something he taught me was useful.

I took the keys and made my way down to the dungeon.

It was even darker then normal, due to it being night there was no longer the light peeking out by the stairs.

There were no guards around and I thank the heavens for it. I reach the cell and pull out the keys.

But I hesitated before opening the door that locked the horrible person inside. "If I let you out you can't hurt me and Dream."

"I promise I won't purposely shoot Dream again."

Dream not me. He isn't going to promise to not kill me. I guess this might be the best deal I get. "Okay."

I fumble around looking for the right key. I finally find it and unlock the doors. He sits up and comes over to me. He hands me the totem and disappears in the night.

I quickly leave and put the keys back where I found them.

I then hurry over to where Dream was. I reach the room where a guard is waiting on the outside of the door. I didn't know who he was and honestly I didn't care.

"Ma'am it is past curfew, do you need me to get someone to bring you back to your room?"

"No sir. I thought I would see my husband before going to bed. It will only be a second."

He hesitates before nodding his head, allowing me to enter.

I went into the room and it was freakishly cold. I looked over and saw Dream laying there. He looked dead despite the heart monitors saying he was alive. I think I finally got why he wore the armour so much. It would've saved him from this.

I walk over to the bed and I grab his hand. It was icy cold and sent shivers down my spine.

I wonder if I didn't make the deal what would happen. Would Tommy forgive me? Would I go back to living in my cottage or stay here?

The biggest question in my head is if I would care. Care that Dream is dead. It is easier to think I wouldn't have, it is easy to think I risked getting caught for treason because Dream being alive made the alliance strong saving L'Manburg from war. But if I really pushed at the thought, I don't think that is why I risked it. I think I did it because I would care if he no longer was in this world, I think it would've broken me to see him die.

It didn't matter though, he will live. I put the totem in the palm of his hand and closed his fingers around it.

I walked out of the room to my own. I knew that I was supposed to sleep in Dream's but I didn't want to just yet.

I just hoped everything would be fine in the morning.

I barely rested that night. A lot was running through my mind. I was hopeful he would be awake when I woke up but I was also nervous about the havoc I caused with letting out that pigged man.

It was barely light out and I jolted up and put on some clothes. This was probably the earliest I have ever woken up ever.

I put on random clothes and almost ran out of my room.

I went down all the halls until I reached the room Dream was in. The door was already cracked open and I could hear two voices. One belonging to Dream and the other was Sapnap.

I walked in and they both stopped their conversation instantly. "Welcome back Dream."

He looked towards Sapnap and he left the room, leaving it to the two of us. He patted the bed motioning for me to sit down.

I walked over and did just that but before he could talk, I started. "Thank you for saving my life."

He didn't counter that instead his face was filled with regret for what he had to say next. "(Y/n) the man that did this escaped last night."

I was about to say something, but he interrupted me. "But let me promise you this. When we find out who let him escape they will be subjected to the same punishment as the man they let out. He killed George and almost killed you. I will make sure the person involved doesn't live to see another day."

Oh shit. When would it be a good time to tell him it was me.

I finally changed the cover of the story!!

Also I am seeing comments about a Tommy book, and yes I would definitely be open to that idea. However I hate when authors don't finish their books so I will finish this one before continuing to a different one.
