I saw... Schlatt. He was standing still, staring at the remains of the white house. It was completely gone and replaced with a small memorial in it's name. He was completely silent.
There was no Quackity with him anymore. It was just him standing alone.
"Johnathan" I spoke out
"What?" Schlatt turned to me, still seeming a little heated "Don't call me that name"
I rolled my eyes an ignored him.
"So, you actually ended up taring it down?" I muttered
"And?" Schlatt says
I sigh "...You know he's gonna be your enemy now, right?"
"Well, of course. After all, I fucking destroyed his hard work..! haha..!" Schlatt says
Schlatt then walks up to me, dusting off his clothes as he talked.
"It was going to happen sooner or later. It was only just a matter of time before this shit show was taken down" Schlatt mentioned
His eyes then stared into mine, a smirk began to appear on his face.
"Hey, you'd never betray me, right sis?" Schlatt questioned
"...Why even ask such a question?" I said with a small smile
Schlatt then chuckles "Avoiding the question, as always... You really are still the same"
He then begins to walk back to the memorial of the white house, stopping and staring at the small sapling.
"I don't know who to trust anymore Y/N. No one is willing to listen to me..!! Everyone is starting to get blinded by the lies of the enemy..! The enemy that caused so much pain to this nation!!" Schlatt says
"Schlatt, if you could listen to me for at least a few seconds. I want to talk with you about... everything that's happen..." I says
He lets out a sigh, then agrees to my claims.
I then began to pace.
"Schlatt. You know what you did yesterday was one of the worst decisions you've made? For this nation, and for you" Y/N says
"Ohh, so this is how you're going to be now??" Schlatt begins to argue
"I want you to listen. So keep quiet" I stated, my voice once again cold
Schlatt then begins to keep more quiet. I guess he's still slightly intimidated by my voice. I'm sure he remembers what I can do to him.
"Trying to kill Tubbo was one of the most idiotic things you've ever done..! I have to say, for all you've done before the festival, minus the times you raised Nihachu's taxes as well as the banishment of Tommy and Wilbur... You actually sold me on you being a good leader. But with the events in the past and present, you're really making me re-consider things" I state
"Then you're going to betray me? Like Tubbo? Like Quackity? Like everyone..?" Schlatt asked
"I didn't say that" I said "I said you're making me re-consider you being a good leader. That doesn't mean I'm gonna betray you"
"Wait- really?" Schlatt says almost surprised
"Of course. After all... We're related by blood. Why would I want to betray you?" I said
"wait- so...haha...! You're willing to go on their side and betray them for me??" Schlatt says
"No. I wont stoop to that level. I'd never" I simply say
"It really is hard for me to tell if you're being serious about being on my side or not..." Schlatt mutters
"Now if you'll excuse me... I need to have a few words with Quackity" I say
"Oh- so you're leaving to talk with the enemy now?" Schlatt said
"If you don't want to be alone in this battle, you need to start acting different. Or at least be a little more considerate about your citizens feelings" I says
"Do you know where Quackity went?" I asked
"In the forest" He mutters, pointing over to the redwood trees that me and Snowflake just left
I let out a quiet sigh before I walked back into the forest.
"Quackity?" I called out
"H-huh?? Y/N? What are you doing here?" Quackity questioned
I then turned to my left to see Quackity hiding behind a tree.
I went up to him.
"...Sorry about leaving. And I'm sorry about my brother" I apologized
"Hey, you're not the one who has to be fucking sorry. It's Schlatt who should be the one apologizing to me" Quackity says
A little smile appeared on my face.
Then suddenly, Quackity went back to hiding behind the tree as he let out one of the most girlyest fucking screams in the world.
I turn around to look behind me, seeing the one and only Tommyinit galloping his ridden horse towards me and Quackity, a crossbow in hand, ready and loaded.
Tommy then shot the arrow towards me, intending to hurt me, but I managed to dodge the arrow in time.
I am so lucky I have decently good reflexes.
Quackity then comes out from his hiding place and walked in front of me.
"Tommy..!" Quackity exclaimed "Don't shoot..!!"
"Why?....Why did you...?... Why did you run off into the woods Big Q?" Tommy asked, earning laughter coming from Quackity
"I'm uhh... here to do mining...." Quackity says
"Don't you have Punz to do stuff like that? Y/N?? Fundy??" Tommy listed off
"Oh my-ahah! FUCKING PUNZ!!---uh... anyways. Tommy... I uhh-- oh wait. uhh... nevermind" Quackity says, eyeing up me
"No, no. Don't worry. I'll leave you guys here to talk" I say
"U-Uhmm... Y-Y/N..! Y-you're not gonna... inform Schlatt... are you?" Quackity questioned me
I shook my head.
"I promise I won't. You have my word for it" I then turn to the direction to exit the forest "Do what you need to do. But don't do anything too reckless, okay"
I then began to walk away, Snowflake following me behind.
"Hey. Woman." I heard Tommy's voice call out to me
I turned around and raised an eyebrow at him.
"You're going to tell him, aren't you?" Tommy says
"I already said I wouldn't. And it's not like Quackity wanting to talk to you isn't a secret. This was bound to happen at some point" I muttered
"What do you mean..?" Quackity questioned
"You're wanting to leave Manberg. Weren't you?" I questioned
No one spoke. The tree leaves rustling in the calming wind was all we heard.
A small smile traced my lips.
"I was right..." I chuckled
I then turned around again.
"You have my word for it. On my life, I won't tell him. Schlatt will find out on his own accord anyways" I said, walking away once again
I then release a deep sigh, looking down to Snowflake.
"Hey Snowflake" I said, Snowflake then looked up and stared at me. I continued to speak "So... I've been thinking a lot about yesterday. And... With everything that's been happening, before and after I arrived here... I think I can already see how things here are going to planned out..."
I finally made it out of the forests, now walking on the wooden paths of Manberg, eyeing up everything.
"I knew Tubbo was a traitor. I knew Quackity would be joining Pogtopia. I knew a lot of things... It's all so predictable if you think about it."
I then lightly chuckle.
"You know... With people seeing me as an ally or not. Doesn't matter to me. Snowflake, you and me are actually neutral about everything going on, right?"
Looking down at Snowflake I saw him nod in agreement with my words. I smiled.
"Yeah, yeah.... Hey, if anything worse happens, let's get a ticket out of here, change our names and move up south" I joked
We continued our walk around Manberg, I noticed a small bakery that I wanted to go into, but it seemed to be closed.
Didn't Schlatt mention that this was Niki's bakery? I wonder where she is...
Probably at Pogtopia.
I then continued walking until I realized the sun was slowly setting.
Wait- I wonder where I can sleep... Since the White house is gone, I really have no where else to go for the night... Should I just sleep outside..?
I turned to look at Snowflake.
"How would you feel to sleep outside for a night?" I asked
Snowflake didn't seem so keen on the idea. So I came to a decision and decided we would be sleeping back in the carriage.
But when we got there, I saw someone I didn't expect to see.
