The Crown (DREAM SMP x reader)

13 || The Memories || 13

Y/N

What's the first thing you do when you're about to be slaughtered by someone you trusted? You run. And obviously, I did exactly that. I ran for my life. I didn't know if he was chasing me or what, I was too busy trying to breathe, trying to put one foot in front of the other and not break down sobbing.

"Dream, please..."

I gasped, stumbling. My legs and my lungs burning, I didn't want to keep running, but I didn't want to die either. I tripped on something and tumbled into the snow, sobbing. I couldn't help myself. I didn't trust people easily, especially after meeting Dream, so it hurt to be nearly stabbed by someone I trusted.

"Dream, pl-please put the sword down..."

My heart was racing, my side on fire. I pressed my hands against the wound, my blood turning the snow around me red. I could feel a scream building up in my throat, but I held it in, I didn't want to alert him of my position.

Who am I running from again?

My breathing got heavier and I couldn't seem to calm myself down.

"Y/N, this is for your own good... Why did you have to escape the box...?"

I looked around, and I was back in the room again. I yelped in panic, looking around for an exit of some sort, but there never was one. I turned around, Dream standing over me with his sword in his hand.

"I've never cared about you, Y/N."

I screamed closing my eyes and digging my hands into the snow.

Snow? There's no snow in the box..?
I opened my eyes, looking around. I was in the snow like I was before. Alone.
I'm alone like Dream said I would be.
I looked down at my hands, blood covering them. I grabbed snow and pressed it to my side, staring at my blood covered shirt. I looked back in the direction I had come from, frowning. I dropped the bloody half melted snow and got up, a hand on my side again.
I need to go back to my house.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I had bandaged and cleaned my fresh wound and taken care of the ones from L'manburg. I tugged at the spare green hoodie Dream had left at my house, which was far too big for me, but I had to live with it, since it was the only warm article of clothing in the house. I lifted my hair into a high ponytail and tied it back, still frowning. I looked at the sword still strapped on my side, the one Technoblade made me. I was considering throwing it away, because I didn't want his things after he tried to kill me, but I had no materials for a better sword. My frown deepened, and I decided I had to make do with what I had. Adjusting my fingerless gloves, I walked around the house, taking in all the memories I had been trying to escape from since I met Dream. I stopped short, seeing the wall of obsidian. I took out my diamond pickaxe and mined through the wall enough for me to get into the small room. I sat down, my back against one of the walls and just stared at the floor. Why am I afraid of being alone? I took my compass out of my pocket, then started gripping it tightly. I don't need to keep checking this fucking thing anymore.
I got up, my fingers turning white from how hard I was gripping it. I'm going to get rid of it.

I left the obsidian room, and the house entirely, walking into the Dream SMP without a destination.
I noticed Tommy, and went to go and say hi, but stopped myself. Just standing there, watching the blond boy.

Technoblade likes him.
I watched the boy, the cogs in my head turning. Why does Technoblade like him?
I stood there for a while, thinking, then turned and ran back to my house, my blood pumping, a laugh escaping me.

Tommy's more chaotic.

Awsamdude

I turned around, feeling like something was off, and saw someone dressed in green and black, almost making me think it was Dream, except then I saw the gold helmet and the red hair. Isn't that Y/N? Why are they just staring? I looked to where they were staring, and saw Tommy, messing around like usual. I felt suspicious, and inched closer to Tommy in case Y/N tried anything funny. Y/N turned around and ran off, and I swear I heard a laugh. I got the feeling that something bad was about to happen, so I followed them, the key to the prison pressing against my chest from under my shirt as I ran.
