Resemblance & Distinction

01

Tommy waved at his bandage arm he look at Dream who was preparing a tea for himself, his eyebrows lowered tried to scratch the bandage until Dream stopped him taking a seat beside the teenager

The youth man sigh "Tommy, if you want your hand to be recovered just stop scratching it"

Tommy yanked his hand away from Dream and pouted "I wasn't scratching it! I was... Making sure the bandage was covered well" he turned his head around avoiding the man

Dream hummed drinking his cup brushing the blonde's hair with his hand, though Tommy just only swayed his head not wanting to get touch, he looked at Tommy feeling sorry as he stand up going to the kitchen

Tommy gaze at Dream while he left the room, then Drista came into view having some forks in her hand "Hey Toms!" She jumped on the couch examining his bandage then to him "You don't look so good there"

He slightly leaned his head forward nudging his fingers "Just fell in the stairs this morning" Drista made a 'o' sound then grabbed a few of her forks, Tommy curiously ask looking at some shiny silvered forks displaying in her arms "Are these the forks you've been telling me you want to buy a week ago?"

Drista smirk mischievously "Yup!" She stand up looking at the clock she flinched at the time "Oops looks like I gotta go, Nikki should be waiting for me- have fun being with Dream!" She waved her arms out before she left he nodded in response to quickly close the door behind her

The blonde sigh nudging his foot to move "This is boring..." He slumped down to the couch slowly turned into a lazy position, Dream finally walked out in the kitchen holding a basket, he noticed the item and asked "Where are you going?"

"To pick some apples, I'm gonna make an apple pie. Why?" He raised his left brow stopping his way out the door

"Can I help?" Dream hesitated and smiled

"Sure"

...

Dream held the last bit of the apple crouching his level to Tommy "I think this is all it" putting the apple with the basket, he stared at him putting out his hand to help him stand

Tommy grumbled to the offer but accepted instead, his mind wonder off in a different direction where he could see Dream packing up "...I'll stay here in a bit"

"Alright...?" Dream didn't ask further and quietly left the place with the basket in hand, Tommy could only see Dream's figure disappear beneath the shallow trees

With the long distance of thinking he lay on a comfortable tree leaning against it somewhere he could clear his mind until that silence have been cut with a quite annoying sound, he sat up bewildered finding the source

After the sound becoming closer and bigger he was met with nothing, he disappointedly mumbled and kept looking around though the place looked surrounded with so many layers of trees and a clear circled ground

When he walked closer he fell by a trap and felt the water trickled down his foot dark and gloomy walls that felt like a stone textured cobblestones, he squint his eyes from the sunlight up above

His bandage arm wasn't doing any better only making him felt weak to climb up shouting for help would be a great option but no one will ever heard his pleading down to the hole

His mild frustration stack up anxiously with his other last hope was to wait for Dream or Drista to find him, he closed his eyes and sat at the wet ground in silence of waiting

An hour has passed something made him jumped in surprised a rope dangled and swayed at front, his curious eyes made him stand up and look beneath the heated rays were replaced by a shelter along a bucket

Tommy grabbed the rope and tried to climb in one hand, his attempt of escaping the hole was big but he didn't want to stay any longer, with one swift of a pull he finally escape

He raised his head finally at ground level he lowered his eyebrows that turn in a unfamiliar forest rather there was nothing covering, he looked behind the hole and flinch in shock

"Why... There was a hole before..." He trailed off, his focus went to his surroundings but everything were still the same except the well, Tommy suspiciously glared at the well then went on his way to leave

After passing the apple tree farm going at the same path to the house, he saw a confusing path that wasn't supposed to go back at Dream rather the path was leading to the other side, Tommy shrugged following the same path and kept his stance calm

...

His eyes widen in shock, buildings are present people are roaming and chatting around, he could feel the liveliness of the town

'A town...?'

He set a foot to the rocky road being pushed by other people along with grunts of saying 'out of my way' he could tell they were pissed but he just forget the person and look around the view of the town

There wasn't a town near their place except the long distance of walking further away from up hill, Drista was there shortly at work for Niki and he was definitely sure that something wasn't quite adding up...

He didn't step any longer and left the town with no trace, he went back to the same path to the house but it wasn't there "What the prime is going on??" He made a step back running through the forest and had a few scratches in his skin

He hissed at the pain but didn't bother looking back and he stumbled falling in his feet getting the impact in his bandage arm, the pain was unbearable and he got knocked in conscious
