73. Bad Memories

⚠️TW: Manipulation, Panic Attacks⚠️

Dream POV

I walk behind Drista and Tommy. Drista bounces around gleefully talking to Tommy about the nether.

We exit the portal and arrive at his old Exile place.

"Wow it's all destroyed" Drista glances around at Logstedshire and Tnret.

"Yeah thanks to a certain massive dickhead" Tommy scoffs. I huff in annoyance.

Drista ignores Tommy's comment and continues walking around.

"Hey Tommy look, it's the tent" she points at the remains of the white tent once called Tnret.

"Yeah," Tommy smiles and goes over to pick through the remains.

I watch them both, plotting.

"This is giving me flashbacks" Tommy says glaring at me. "You watching me"

"I'm watching Drista" I protest.

"This feels like Exile all over again" Tommy mutters.

"I'm going to gather some wood for tent poles" Drista glances at the both of us before running into the forest, shooting me a grin.

"Tommy," I kneel down to look at him. "That's in the past now. We're neutral"

"Yeah, but I haven't forgiven you why you've done" Tommy spits.

"Neither have I" I smile. "We both want revenge but maybe its time to move on"

"You still have my discs"

"Might I remind you that you gave up the discs for L'Manburg's independence. After that, they were my discs, you kept trying to steal them from me. I won them from you, fair and square. You agreed to the terms"

Tommy clenches his fists.

"I'm right aren't I?"

"I guess you're right" Tommy stares at the ground. "But all you've done to me, you killed me to prove a point"

"That was just opportunity Tommy. I needed to prove to everyone that the Revival Book worked. Not many believed in Wilbur's resurrection. If anyone else had come into the prison, I would have killed them and revived them just like I did to you"

Tommy just glares at me.

"Tommy, I don't hate you. Despite all our clashes I don't. You constantly cause problems like griefing and robbing. I would have let it slide but you continued do the same bad things over and over again. This Exile was supposed to teach you a lesson. Yes, I was harsh on you, but it was to show you that your actions have consequences"

"Techno told me that too" Tommy says. "He told me that during the Doomsday war, actions have consequences"

"Well didn't they? You switched sides and betrayed Techno, as a result, he fought against you and destroyed the country you loved. What did you think he was going to do?"

Tommy grumbles to himself.

"All the consequences that you face are from things you've done. If you stop doing bad things, you won't have to face the consequences"

"But it's fun to steal and grief people's houses" Tommy huffs.

"It's fun for you but not for others. That's why I griefed your house. To show you how it feels to have that happen to you. Tell me, how did you feel when you saw your house on fire and being destroyed?"

"Not good, angry, frustrated" Tommy clenches his fist.

"How do you think George felt when you burned down his house?"
