chapter four

should i make a  playlist?? if so leave suggestions here->

y/n, eret, fundy, tubbo,  and tommy all stood outside the caravan, listening to wilbur speak. he was covering their plan again, but it wasn't very detailed or useful in any way. although everyone acknowledged that fact, nobody said it out loud.

"so," wilbur started. "lets got through it one more time. we do not leave the walls of l'manburg if it's not absolutely necessary. we will not attack first, and will try to primarily defend rather than fight. we need to try and prevent as little damage to our land as possible. stick together, never get caught alone. y/n, you can fight, but if someone is hurt i need you working your best to heal them unless someone's around. we will," he tried to continue, but was interrupted by tubbo.

"uh, wilbur? i don't think we have much time, they're getting near," the small boy said while pointing towards four figures steadily getting closer to l'manburg. 

everyone in the group tensed up even more than before. the time was finally here. sure, they had been through many other rough battles with the dream smp, however none of them were as serious as this one.

nobody even moved a muscle, not daring to make a sound as they silently watched their opponents draw closer. and before anyone could even react, one of them pulled out a bow and shot an arrow that whizzed past their heads. turning to see where it landed, y/n found it only missed wilbur's neck by a few inches.

letting out a shaky breath and sharing a glance with tommy, she grabbed her bow and notched an arrow. pointing it towards their new place on top of the wall, she purposefully shot it a few feet to the left of her target. she wasn't planning on being the first person to hit another. however, tommy obviously thought differently, as he was now loading his fourth arrow into his bow and carefully aiming towards dream, who stood between george, sapnap, and another person she had never seen.

for the following minutes, nobody got hurt, but around twenty arrows were shot far too close for comfort. and to top it all off, l'manburg was running low on ammunition, which wasn't good considering the fact that dream and his men seemed to have an unlimited supply.

despite that, they continued firing, and their opponents fired in return. before her brain could even register what had just happened, y/n cried out. looking down, she found an arrow had pierced her thigh, blood pouring from the side. she moved closer and leaned against tommy in order to stay standing, and as soon as he realized what happened he tugged on wilbur's sleeve. 

the two boys turned their attention to the injured girl, despite the arrows that were still being shot at a constant pace. 

"guys, they're still going, you need to do the same," y/n said through her teeth. "shit," she muttered under her breath. she had moved her leg slightly to better support the rest of her body, but this just caused more blood to pour out. 

eret looked over and turned his bow down. his eyes widened as he looked at her blood soaked clothes. "guys," he said, getting everyone's attention. "i was going to save this for later, but now is a good time. y/n is hurt, we need to retreat. i've spent my time well and prepared a secret weapon," eret continued, glancing to wilbur for permission to continue. wilbur just nodded, it wasn't like they had a much of a choice. 

"there's a bunker, just outside the walls. if we hurry, we can get there and have enough time to bandage her leg before dream catches up and we have to fight again," eret motioned to the gates as he spoke.

without saying anything, wilbur picked up his sister and jogged towards where eret pointed as everyone else soon followed.

"wil, i'm fine, i can walk," y/n protested from in his arms.

"no, you're hurt. walking will just make it worse," wilbur responded, not even caring to look down at her.

eret sped up in order to lead the way, and a moment later they all stood in a small room a few feet underground. y/n pulled bandages from the bag on her shoulder and gently pulled the arrow out of her leg, applying pressure to lessen the bleeding. she wrapped it tightly before standing up again, seeing everyone's eyes on her.

"i'm fine, guys, we have more important things to worry about. it wasn't very deep," she said.

after finally returning to her feet and spinning in a circle, she took in her surroundings. there were a few empty armor stands, along with a lot of chests. there was a single door at the end, and a button opposite to the door. tubbo opened one chest and shuffled through it before moving on the next, then the next.

"eret, why are all these chests empty?" tubbo said, turning towards him. eret just glanced at him, not responding.

"what does this button do?" tommy said as his hand hovered over the button she had noticed a few seconds earlier. before anyone could say anything, he pushed it.

nothing happened for a few seconds, until the walls around them seemingly disappeared, revealing an intricate redstone device. this was the first thing y/n saw, but she soon realized there was something much bigger hidden behind the walls: four men who belonged to the dream smp.

dream, george, sapnap, and the other one (who y/n could now see wore a white hoodie and an obnoxiously shiny gold chain), pounced on the people of l'manburg like animals. with no time to register the events that just unfolded, y/n unsheathed her sword, fighting back the best she could. everyone else did the same, besides eret, who stood in the corner doing nothing.

"a traitor!" wilbur shouted as he fought the man in white.

y/n's eyes widened in shock. eret had set them up for this, it was all a trap. "eret, how could you?" she cried, moving towards george, who was fighting tommy.

however before she could help the blonde boy out she heard another sword being unsheathed. turning to the side, she saw dream himself, wearing an entire set of netherite armor, with an enchanted sword of the same material in his hand.

fully turning her body towards the masked man, she spread her feet slightly in order to maintain a better fighting stance. however, her injured leg wasn't much help.

attempting to ignore the pain, she switched her feet so the left was in front, and the right behind. a defensive stance. dream took notice of this, and made the first move. he jumped in the air, towering over her, and brought down his sword hard.

y/n was prepared for this, though, and quickly blocked the hit with her shield. damn, this was actually serious, she thought. if she hadn't lifted her shield she'd be dead.

moving her shield back to her side, she blocked his next hit directly with her sword. the sound of metal on metal clanged through the room, however nobody else noticed as they were all busy fighting the others.

y/n quickly changed her stance, moving her feet into an attacking position. this caught dream off  guard, as he had expected her to stay defensive, especially with a vital injury. before he could react and grab his shield, she got a strong hit on his shoulder. it didn't do any permanent damage because of his armor, but the force of the hit knocked him to the ground. his sword clattered to the side, out of his hand. y/n had won.

just as she was about to advance, tommy cried out from next to her. george had finally gotten near enough to hit tommy, and she turned just in time to see him pull his axe away from the boy's side.

blood poured out of the wound, and tommy crumpled to the ground. jumping in front of him, she pushed george away with her shield, quickly pulling out bandages and stopping the blood flow as best as she could. she also grabbed her only healing potion, and handed it to tommy, who gladly drunk every last drop.

as she was still wrapping his side, a large hand reached around her arm, pulling her upwards. she crashed back into someone's chest, and a green sleeve snaked around her waist, holding her to him. time seemed to stop as he slid a dagger from his pocket. the knife was placed against her throat, not enough to harm her but enough to cause a slight trickle of blood to flow down her neck.

"stop!" dream yelled. y/n felt the vibrations from his voice against the top of her head. tommy looked up from his place on the ground. wilbur stopped fighting the man in purple, and tubbo and fundy stopped fighting sapnap. everyone now had their eyes on dream and y/n. "if you continue fighting, i will slice her throat right here, right now."
