•DEMA Dont Control Us•Tyler x Reader•

•Chapter 7: Injustice•

Holy smokes, thank you for 500+ reads! Sorry for the very late chapter but I surprisingly have a life hUh. But yeah enjoy :3

Josh's POV:

We continued talking to Y/N for a while until supper was over. Today we have been called to the amphitheater for an important announcement by the bishops. Y/N however had other plans.

"I don't want to go to that stupid announcement bullshit." Y/N growled

"We don't have a choice whether to go or not Y/N, it's required or else we are punished." Tyler advised

Y/N stared back at him in disgust. "Yeah but does it look like I give a shit? I hate this place for the couple of weeks I've been here. I'm not going to let these guys control me."

I sighed, "Tyler has a point Y/N. You haven't been here long enough to understand what the Bishops do to the ones who misbehave..."

Y/N sighed. "Yeah I get it but, do you really want to spend the rest of your lives like this?"

Me and Tyler both looked at eachother

"Yeah you have a point there Y/N but it's not like we can escape here. There are tight security and even if we escape, we are always somehow dragged back." I reply

Y/N looks back at us, disappointment evident in her face

"Please understand Y/N, I know you have only been on the surface for a couple of days but you haven't seen all of what the bishops can do and why we here are so afraid of them. Maybe you should come and see for yourself. Hopefully you could understand." Tyler advised

Y/N sighed. She stared at Tyler then at me. "Fine, but only because you guys told me to." Both me and Tyler gave a slight smile and nodded

All of us met and the amphitheater, some crowed along the free spaces to fit us all. The bishops were waiting for us, ready to give the announcement they had told us about.

They all stood straight, their bold yet dull faces looking at us all. Nico stepped up and spoke.

"Thank you all for attending this meeting here today. We called on very short notice but I'm glad to see all of your faces here. We have a few urgent announcements to make so please sit back and listen carefully."

Nico stepped back and Sacarver stepped forward.

"I would like to announce some new changes to the way DEMA works"

The people around us started whispering to themselves, some saying positive or negative things

"To understand why we implemented these things, we must clarify some rumors and situations that have occurred the past week or so" Sacarver continued, the amphitheater staying silent and fearful.

"Firstly, the rumors of someone successfully escaping DEMA. We assure you that there is nothing of the matter and us bishops make sure no one ever leaves. It's a difficult task to do either way. There has been the recent case of someone attempting to escape DEMA but they have been dealt with. I will now let Bishop Listo speak" With that, Sacarver dismissed himself and let Listo continue the rest

"Thank you Bishop Sacarver. Hello all, thank you for attending. There are a few things to cover before you all can be dismissed. There are new changes being made in regards to the rules. We are going in stricter and harder since it seems like even the unlikely of souls out of you all plan an escape."

Tyler shifted uncomfortably in in seat as Y/N leaned in forward, resting her arms on her legs

Listo took a look around before speaking again, "Its heartbreaking really, to see how you all want to leave the comfort that is DEMA. You hardly know of a life outside of here, who's to say you will have no one and if your life was better than the one here? We are here to make you forget, we care what you think. Unlike the people out there, we care. We want to help. When each of you came here we promised that and we withhold that promise which is why we are making these changes. There will be private meetings with us bishops to discuss your mentality. Even then, no matter what we will get words out of you. It's important for you all to talk to us, we are here to assist you in all your problems no matter how dark and treacherous they are. No one knows better than us bishops. We are a bit short on time so I will end it off here." Listo stepped back and Nico stepped forward yet again.

"There is one person specifically I would like to speak to today. We were busy the other day so I didn't get the time to talk to you." Nico stared at Tyler.

"Number 1021, I will like to speak with you after we are finished. It's an important matter."

I stare up at Tyler who is frozen in place. Y/N looks up at him worried. This has always happened in the mention of Nico, Tyler couldn't even stand in the same room as Nico without feeling uncomfortable. I noticed how the back of Tyler's neck looked darker than usual, turning an ominous shade of black.

Y/N was freaking out at this point, furiously tapping Tyler, trying to get him back to his senses. I join in as we start to shake him.

He blinks and shakes his head. He looks up at Y/N then at me, a sad look evident in his eyes

I looks towards Nico and nods, immediately looking down to the floor

The bishops ramble on for a few more minutes before dismissing us, Nico stepping towards Tyler to make sure he came straight after. He gives a glance at me and Y/N before taking his leave, dragging Tyler by the arm.

Y/N tapped me and spoke, "Josh, I may have not been here for a while but I can see why you are afraid of them. Just hearing them talk..." she falters. "It makes me scared or nervous and I don't feel good at the moment."

I wrapped an arm around her, pulling Y/N into a hug. "I know we haven't known eachother for long but I understand. I'm worried about Tyler and I know he is like that with the Bishops as well, everyone most likely is. Tyler however fears Nico the most."

Y/N breaks the hug and trembled, "Tyler...he looked blood-shot, just hearing Nico say they will talk looked like he was scared for his life. I'm one to care about people a lot and I'm worried about him. Is this normal for him? What's his relation to Nico? Do you know anything about his past?"

I sighed. "I don't know much but I can tell you the small things I remember."

We walked down to a creaky old bench, below a small hill. I sat down as Y/N awaited my explanation.

"To get things started, I know Tyler has suffered from Depression and still is."

Y/N looked much more interested after saying that statement, maybe with a hint of worry in there.

"I'm guessing you had experiences with it"

Y/N nodded sheepishly

"Don't be embarrassed, most people go through it, it's a natural thing for all here in DEMA" I clarified. "Tyler has a lot of insecurities and has negative thoughts frequently. Tyler manifested his negative thoughts and insecurities into an imaginary being."

"What is that imaginary being then?" Y/N questioned.

I took a breath in. "His name is Blurryface."
