Manipulation Is Green

I walk through the damp grass as I move closer to the light. Nerves start bashing me in the head.  I had completely convinced myself that it would most likely be Schlatt.

I was a god distance away from the person when they finally stopped moving. I hid behind a tree, just to be safe.

"Is anyone out there?" A deep worried voice called out.

Erets.

Thank god it's them and not Schlatt.

I hesitantly walk out from behind the tree.

"Oh it's just you, Gracie. Why are you out here this late?"

"I couldn't sleep. Why are you out here?"

—Erets pov—

I look at my clock.

2:20

Perfect. It takes me about 5 minutes to get to where I was meant to meet Dream and his people so I should have enough time to get ready and stuff.

By 2:24, I was out the door. I grabbed a torch and put my netherite sword, my bow and my shield in my inventory, just incase.

After walking for about 5 minutes, I see a light on through a window. I haven't exited the l'Manburg yet so it was strange to see someone awake. Who is it tho? I had never payed any attention to who lived where so I had no idea who it could be.

I start walking faster to make sure that I whoever was up wouldn't notice me. After walking a bit more, I get to the front of the wall near the gate.

*Crack*

A branch snaps.

"Is anyone there?" I say worriedly out of instinct.

I see a small figure walk out from behind a tree.

"Oh it's just you, Gracie. Why are you out here this late?"

"I couldn't sleep. Why are you here?" She says almost sounded relieved.

She probably thought I was someone from the smp- technically, I am but... Nononononoononon. Shut up. Think of a response idiot!

"I'm, um, nervous for tomorrow?" I respond almost like a question. She looks at me skeptically.

Shitshitshitshitshitshit. She definitely knows.

"Um, okay then? Make sure that you go to sleep soon I guess You need rest for tomorrow."

"Yeah, thanks. You too." She walks away nodding her head in confusion.

At least she doesn't know that i'm meeting up with Dream one last time, that could've ended badly, she could definitely take me out in one punch

When she gets out of view I quickly put out my torch. No way I was getting caught again.

It was a bit harder to see where I was going now but i'll work through it.

I sneak out of the black fence attached to the wall and run out.

I start getting more and more nervous for tomorrow as I got closer and closer to the community house where we would be going over our final plans.
