TW: PTSD, kidnapping, Stockholm syndrome,
Please let me know if I missed any
"Please Purpled, best friend, please?" Tommy begged again. "Aimsey and all the others agree, we just need you now."
Purpled crossed his arms. "No, Master is kind if you don't get on his bad side, and we all like it here."
Aimsey, a girl only a year older than Tommy, strode forward. "Maybe so, but all of us have families that believe us to be dead, families that loved us dearly."
"Maybe you guys do, I don't though! I've been here for four years, this is all I know."
"Please come with us, we'll find somewhere for you."
"What? Foster care? I can't go back to that."
"My older brother was in foster care. I miss him so much." Tommy said sadly.
"Please Purpled?"
The older relented at last with a sigh.
"Everyone meet in Tommy's room after lights out, prop your doors quietly before they all shut."

The sun was setting, and everyone was in Tommy's room. The door was closed, and the window was in the process of being broken.
Windows are surprisingly strong for glass. But Tommy and Purpled managed at break through it eventually. It was a small window, high up, so they needed to boost each other up to it.
At the end, everyone helped pull Tommy and Purpled up. Once everyone was on their feet, they sprinted off the property, keeping out of the street lights that were turning on with the dusk.
They all ran together for at least 5 blocks, and then shoved themselves into a phone booth. There were ten of them in all, Tommy, Purpled, Aimsey, a girl who forgot her name, but everyone calls her Crumb, Alyssa, and 3 other boys and two girls that Tommy didn't know.
Tommy punched in the first number that came to mind.
Technoblade's
He had been very attentive in memorizing the older's number, mainly because it was a sign that he cared about his brother.
It rang for a few seconds.
Hello?
"Techno, it's me, Tommy! He said urgently."
Tommy? We all thought you were dead!
"Not dead, just exiled for a few months." He said jokingly.
Har har, not the time. Techno replied sarcastically.
"Oh yes, umm, so we escaped and we're on-"
"Log street." Crumb piped up.
"Log street, and-"
"Cheshire" Purpled added.
"Cheshire. Oh, and there may be people chasing after us."
There was a ton of rustling on the other side.
You coulda started with that!
"Sorry" He said offhandedly.
Okay, Wilbur and I are running to the house now, try to stay out of sight, we'll be there in 20 minutes.
"Okay."
The call ended, and all of them got out of the phone booth and found a place to hide.
Tommy and purpled were sitting under a concrete stairwell. The blond believes Aimsey is standing on a windowsill, and he saw several kids climb into or behind the recycling dumpster.
They waited like that for what seemed like forever. The night was warm, but they were all cold inside, fear and worry spread throughout all of their veins like ice, and they waited.
Until Tommy saw a car he recognized. He stayed where he was though, four people jumped out, and started running around. One with blond hair like his own, one with long brown hair, one with curly brown hair, and one with pink hair.
He stepped out, and the brunette caught sight of him first. Running towards him as fast as he could. The strawberry blond was close to follow, along with the other two, and they all collapsed into a hug.
It was stopped short when Purpled spoke up. "We aren't in the clear yet, they can still hunt us down."
With that notion, Tommy and Aimsey called everyone out, and they were all shoved into the car. It was like a half mini-van, a quarter-van maybe? But several kids had to ride without seatbelts.
Somehow, they got to a police station 20 minutes away, without being pulled over.
Techno said they may have evaded several speeding tickets with their excuse of trying to save him.
Everyone was put into the system and those who had gotten new names, found their old ones.
Tommy glanced at the missing person fliers.

All were declared dead. But none of them were.
Now it was time for them all to go home, to see the people who thought they were dead.
Everyone was relieved, and the officers told them all to stay the night at the station for their safety.
As Tommy laid on a blow up mattress, he felt at peace.
Wilbur ruffled his hair. "I missed you so much, I nearly tore the family to shreds." He said bitterly.
"I never gave up on the fact that you cared about me."
"We'd never give up on you." Techno whispered from his other side.
"That's good." Tommy muttered as he drifted off, safe in the arms of loved ones at last.
