Stick to the Script

Chapter 29

"SHUT UP DREAM", Wilbur commands. "You know what", he says facing the masked man. "I don't need you anymore. There is a real god with unlimited powers who can help me." With that Wilbur disappears. 

"Wait what? Wilbur no!" Dream looks around frantically. "You can't leave me here! You promised." There's no answer. "WILBUR", he desperately screams. 

"Hey man, take it easy. Just calm down", Technoblade says, approaching Dream.

"Calm down? Calm down?!? You want me to calm down after you blew my only wish with a god, my escape plan and chance of godhood abandoned me, and now I'm still trapped here because you wanted  a BELL?"

"Well when you put it like that", Technoblade laughs awkwardly. 

"I ought to kill you both right now", Dream snaps. 

"Dream", Technoblade warns. 

"Starting with her!" 

"That's enough", I shout. "Listen Dream, I tried to warn you that Wilbur did not have your best interest at heart. I'm sorry for how wrong everything has gone in your life, but can't you see Wilbur designed for it to be like that. If you work with him he could put somebody else through this exact pain." 

"It doesn't even matter anymore. You guys will eventually get out of here, try and stop Wilbur if he gets DreamXD's powers, and I'll still be trapped in here." 

I look at Dream with pity, seeing him for the broken man he truly is. "Listen Dream, everybody out there knows you had it rough. You were the villain. However, you need to recognize that you made things worse for yourself by teaming up with Wilbur after the fact. You killed Tommy and that is something that deserves to keep you in jail." 

Dream stiffens but eventually nods and walks along the wall sitting down against it. 

Technoblade turns back to me, "why do you insist on helping him even when he's threatening to kill you?" 

"Because clearly he's had a hard time. Now I'm not excusing his actions and saying there won't be consequences further down the road- he's going to face my wrath for what he did to Tommy- but right now seems like one of the only chances we'll have to convince him to drop his alliance with Wilbur." 

"Sometimes I think you're too nice for your own good." 

Technoblade and I then sit down leaning against the wall furthest to Dream talking to pass the time. 

-----

"How much longer until Sam lets us go", I complain. 

"Oh really, you think you've been here for a while", Dream scoffs. 

"Shut up, I did nothing wrong", I snap back. 

Technoblade chuckles, "well you were stupid enough to waltz into this jail cell." 

"How dare you", I say turning on Techno. 

Dream wheezes from behind. 

It's been... well I actually don't know how long its been. There's no good way to track the time after Dream got rid of the only clock in the cell. Techno says that he was planning on having me use an ender pearl stasis chamber to get him out, but now we were trapped. The three of us have slowly gotten used to each other's presence, and thankfully we've had no more visits from Wilbur. Scarily we have no clue what's happened to the outside world. For all we know, Wilbur has taken over while we rot away. However, I like to believe that nothing is different and any second now I'll be let out. 

Dream is still laughing so I turn to face him. "Kettle got your lungs?" 

Dream controls his laughter to give me an unimpressed look. "You need new material, you're starting to get unfunny."
