"No." I managed to get out, catching my fathers attention. He kicked my brother in the chest sending him falling backwards with ease before making his way over to me. He crouched down to my level before speaking.
"Finally. Taking contol of your powers took a lot longer than it used to. It seems my grip over them has slipped from our time apart. But no need to worry. We can fix that." He finished with an eerie grin that sent a shiver throughout my body.
I tried to get away from him which only resulted in me releasing a yell from the pain shooting up my leg. I looked down to see my left leg covered in blood with a knife sticking out of my thigh. My eyes widened in shock.
"Ah yes. I'd say I'm sorry but it was necessary so you wouldn't get away from me again." He said, seemingly reading my thoughts of panick."What do you say we get you home and you tell me where your useless brother is hiding?" All my years of learning how to block out my emotions was suddenly useless as I felt the flood gates of pain, anger, and fear rushing out into me.
"No! I'll never tell you where he is! You're just going to kill him!" I cried out through the pain.
"Sh sh sh. We don't want you over working yourself and bleeding out now do we? I'll find him one way or another. Maybe I'll just have to kill that boy over there for motivation." He spoke as he ripped the edge of my shirt and tied it around my upper thigh before carelessly yanking out the knife. The action forcing a blood curdling scream from deep inside me. I wasn't thinking about the pain though. My thoughts were now focused on my twenty year old brother who I had just realized was no longer lying on the ground. Just as I came to this conclusion I heard a grunt from the man sat next to me. I turned my head back in his direction to see what had happend.
"Yeah right. Technoblade never dies." The pinkette spoke while holding a peice of wood over his shoulder from the castle debris which he had just used to knock my father unconscious. I let out a sigh of relief as he dropped the wood and bent down to pick me up bridal style since I couldn't walk.
"What happened after I blacked out? How did he find me so fast?" I questioned shakily.
"He didn't. You had been on a rampage for well over six hours before he arrived." I quickly looked around again and noticed the castle had been reduced to ash and debris. My eyes widened as I saw all the dead bodies, including some of the kingdoms innocent subjects. I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I surveyed the damage I had caused. "Hey." I heard Techno faintly. "Look at me. This isn't your fault. You weren't you. ok?" I nodded slightly, burying my head in his chest as he passed through what was left of the gates. He took a couple more steps before stopping abruptly. Before I got the chance to ask him why he stopped I heard a very familiar voice.
"What the hell happened here?" Philza asked, shock laceing his bitter tone. I looked up from Techno's chest and down the path to see the man standing a couple feet away looking back and forth between us and the ruins behind us.
"Phil I can explain-" Techno started before being cut off.
"No. I don't want to hear it." He spoke sternly before letting out a deep sigh. "At least not right now. Right now I want to get you two back home and patched up. Then you will tell me exactly what happened here." He then turned around and started walking back down the path. Techno followed quickly behind until he caught up with Phil. We walked in utter silence until I finally shattered it.
"How did you find us?" I questioned sheepishly after we had made it to the edge of the kingdom.
"Did you two seriously think I didn't know what you were planning on doing?" He questioned sharply. He was clearly still upset with the situation. I didn't say anything. "Last week while you two were training God knows where, I went looking for you in your rooms and found the plans on Techno's desk." I furrowed my brows as I looked up at the pinkette.
"You left them on your desk!?" I yelled. He only shrugged leaving me to wack him in the chest and mumble a quiet, 'idiot.'
"You're both idiots. What were you thinking? Hm? That you would just walk in, kill the royal family, and walk out? The odds of one of you succumbing to the voices or your power was way higher." He scoffed as he turned down the road that lead home. My eyes widened when I realized what he said though.
"How did you know...about my powers?" I asked quietly. He stopped and turned to look at me.
"I've known about your hybrid powers since I took you in." He let out a long sigh and it seemed to take all his frustration with it. "Shortly after you had settled in with us, I was walking past your room when I spotted you sitting on your bed playing with something in your hand. When I looked closer I recognized it as fire. At first I was confused because it was purple and I had never seen anything like that. But then I did more research and, even though there's very little written on your kind, I eventually figured out what you were. I figured you would tell me when you were ready but I never imagined this." He turned his back and began walking again. I looked up at Techno silently questioning him if he knew that Philza knew. He merely shook his head before continuing to follow him home.
When we reached the house we found Tommy screwing around with Tubbo outside. When he saw me though he came running towards us asking a billion questions. Tubbo went inside to get Wilbur since he was the one with the most medical experience even if it was only because Tommy got hurt so often.
"Tommy I'm fine. It's ok." I reassured him in a fake calming voice as Techno continued to carry me to the house.
"What the fuck did you do this time Techno!?" The blonde shouted, ignoring my words. The boy was referring to when we would train and Techno would get a little too rough.
"He didn't do anything Tommy. This one was on me." I spoke quickly with a monotone voice before Techno could give away what had actually happened. The blonde turned to me with an uncertain look, telling me he didn't believe that for a second. Before I could try and convince him though Tubbo came back out of the house with Wilbur tailing behind him. The brunettes face scrunched up in anger that was clearly directed at Techno before mumbling a 'bring her inside and up to her room'. Techno did as he was told without question and Wilbur began to bandage my wounds in scilence.
"Wil-" He cut me off.
"Don't." I shut up. This was pretty typical. Tommy and Wilbur felt pretective of me ever since I started to become distant after I started hanging out with Techno. I think they were trying to undo my training, but what they didn't realize was that it was already too late. At this point any form of emotion I show them is fake. Just a way to get them off my ass about the whole becoming more like Techno thing.
"Stay here." Wilbur said after he finished bandaging my wounds and stood to leave. I just rolled my eyes and watched him leave.
After a couple minutes I could here shouting downstairs. After about a half an hour of that my door swung open and Tommy came running in. He went straight to my closet and pulled out a suitcase.
"What do you think you're doing?" I questioned with no emotion. The blonde froze and turned to face me with a look of utter anger.
"Don't talk like that!" He shouted. "You're not him! You don't need to be an emotionless arsehole who puts others in danger for stupid anarchy!" He bellowed before turning back to the closet and stuffing clothes into the bag. I ignored his rant and repeated my question.
"What. Are. You. Doing. Tommy." I stated slowly. He huffed.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm packing you're fucking bag. You, me, and Wilbur are leaving."
"What the hell are you talking about?" I tried to sound angry but I knew I couldn't actually let myself get angry. He stopped, dropped the bag, and marched over to my bedside.
"You've changed! Ever since you and Techno started your super secret training you've become a completely different person! You don't care anymore! You just do whatever the hell you want and say fuck it to what other people might want!" I scoffed
"That's real rich coming from you Tommy. You never listen to anyone else and do whatever you want all the time." I deadpanned. He mimicked my scoff and turned back to the closet picking up the bag again.
"Yeah, well at least I didn't help our brother destroy an entire kingdom." He grumbled. My eyes grew wide as I looked to the open door to see Techno standing in the hallway. I gave him a questioning gaze but he just walked away.
Later that day I forced myself out of bed and limped my way to Techno's room. It wasn't too difficult thanks to my enhanced healing but it still hurt like a bitch. When I finally made it I asked him what he told Tommy, Wilbur, and Phil had happened. At first he just stared at me from his desk chair before standing up and walking over to me with no emotion or words. He picked me up and took me back to my room, quietly telling me I should rest as he placed me on my bed. As he turned to leave I asked again,
"What did you tell them Techno." It came out harsh and as more of a demand than a question. He stopped at the door and let out a deep sigh.
"We went on a mission to take down a monarchy. I lost control and destroyed the entire castle while you tried to talk me down. Eventually you got in my way and I attacked you. When I regained control the entire kingdom was decimated and you were severely injured. So i picked you up and carried you home." When he was done talking he shut my door and left me alone with my thoughts.
Why would you do that Techno? Tommy and Wilbur will never forgive you. They'll force me to leave with them tomorrow and I'll never see you again.
Why do you have to be so damn stubborn little piggy.
