Unfortunate Timing | Wilbur/Ghostbur x reader

Chapter 12

   I wandered the long walkway. I knew that something was off, I just couldn't figure out exactly what it was. Maybe it was just the fact that I am dead. I wished that I'd asked Phil to stay with me since I had no idea where I was or where to go. I slightly frowned as I came upon a tall blackstone building. I raised a brow and wandered to the door. I walked inside and noticed a man with dark green hair and a mask that resembled a creeper. "Hello...?" The man snapped his head up and his eyes widened.

"(Y/n)???" I awkwardly shifted and glanced to the side. "Are you...alive?" I slowly shook my head. He sighed. "I figured. I just wanted to see if my eyes were deceiving me. Are you here to visit Dream?" Dream. That name was one mentioned by many people. I had no idea who this person was or how they knew me. I hesitated. "Do you not remember him?" I looked up and nodded. He gave me a reassuring smile. "It's okay, he won't hurt you..." He mumbled something else that I couldn't quite make out. "Anyways, let me explain where to go."

I had gone in the direction that I was told and arrived inside of a cell. There was a man with dirty blonde hair and bright green eyes. He looked up and his eyes widened when he met mine. "(Y/n)...?" I nodded. This man was named Dream. "You came..." I tilted my head. That's why Phil had sent me out. "Why do you seem so on edge?" I shifted. I don't know the answer to that. It's just a small part of me that felt like he was dangerous and not to be trusted.

"You're the one everyone talks about...Dream..." He raises a brow. "No, I don't remember you. Everyone speaks your name with venom. What did you do?" Dream looks shocked.

"They haven't told you...?" I raised an eyebrow. Told me what? Was there a secret that I didn't know about?"

"Told me what?" Dream sighed and gazed at the wall. Maybe he was talking about my death? "Now I'm curious, what have they not told me?"

"I killed you, (Y/n)."

*****************

The wind howled around me. Tommy and Tubbo stood in front of Dream. I felt myself run towards the boys and I stood in front of Dream's blade. I felt the sword go through me and the world went black.

Figures started to appear. What surrounded us was a vast, black void. It was filled with many spirits. Who was I? Where exactly was I? How did I get here? I looked around. Though there were people everywhere, it was silent. I felt myself starting to disappear. But where would I go?

******************

"--/n)!!" I snapped back into reality with a worried Dream in front of me.

"I remember." His eyes widened and he frowned.

"I'm so sorry (Y/n)." I shook my head. There was no reason for him to apologize. He sighed, seemingly in relief, and turned towards the bars that blocked his escape. "Say, do you think you could do me a favor?" I tilted my head and awaited his explanation.

**********************

Something felt off. Maybe it was the air, maybe it was the people that surrounded me--wait. I looked up and felt my eyes widen as they fell upon the many people that surrounded me. "(Y/n), you're alive?" I felt myself nod. It was another memory.

"Yeah, I just waited until the right moment to return. I never died, at least not after that one time." The one with blonde hair nodded. I noticed a man with black hair and a shirt with a flame on it shift.

"Are you sure? If you did, I would be more than happy to protect you--I still have all 3 lives." I felt myself shake my head.

"That won't be necessary, Sapnap." He frowned a bit but didn't push the subject any further. "Say, what did I miss?" I noticed the blonde girl shift awkwardly and Sapnap sighed. "What's wrong? You both are acting like someone got blown up or something." The girl flinched and Sapnap looked down. "What...?"

"(Y/n), L'manburg is gone. Wilbur blew it all up, along with himself." My eyes widened and I paused. He...blew up L'manburg? What's L'manburg? Wilbur died? I thought I was the only dead one... "(Y/n)...?" I looked up and the two and felt tears coming to my eyes.

"No...you're lying...Wilbur would never do anything like that..." I ran past the two, towards a huge tree that sat on a hill. I took a mental note of the tree to myself and continued watching the memory play out. I felt myself crying and I looked up at the sunset. I heard footsteps and turned to see Tubbo.

"Hey, (N/n)..." I gave him a weak smile and looked back at the sunset. "I'm sorry about Wilbur..." I dryly chuckled.

"So it wasn't a lie..." Tubbo shook his head and sat beside me. "What would drive him to do that...?" Tubbo sighed and looked into my (e/c) orbs.

"They all thought that you died. Phil didn't get to deliver your message before..." I nodded. It all made sense now. "Hey...I could take you to where he wanted to take you..." I tilted my head. He had wanted to take me somewhere?

"Sure, that would be nice..." Tubbo nodded and stood. He held out a hand for me, which I gratefully took. We walked until we arrived at a field. It was filled with many different flowers, some of which I didn't recognize. "Woah..."

******************

When I came back, I started rushing towards where that Tree in my memories was. "Sorry Dream, I'll visit you again later!!" He nodded and waved as I continued onwards. Something about that tree seemed so important. I needed to get there, and fast. I saw a huge tree come into view and smiled. Something about the tree made me feel all fuzzy inside. I glanced up a bit and noticed Wilbur. What was he doing here?

"Hello, (N/n)." I look up at him and smile. "What brings you here? I thought you'd forgotten it all?" I smiled and shook my head.

"Wilbur, thank you."
