47. I Can't Hurt You

⚠️BLOOD, VIOLENCE WARNING⚠️

Dream POV

"Are you sure about this?" I ask Y/N.

We're deep underground in the new "base". It's dark, cold, and gives off a creepy aura with its blood on the floor and walls and chains hanging from the wall. The blood is just cows blood which was smeared all over to give it the effect.

"Yes," she nods and I look into her warm Y/E/C eyes.

I clasp the chains around her wrists and ankles, putting a collar with a chain attached around her neck. She stands there, attached to the wall and my heart sinks.

Is this what she had to see when she was in the prison with me?

"Dream," Y/N says quietly.

I walk over to her and stroke her cheek.

"I'm so sorry," I whisper.

"You need to hurt me."

"What?"

"Punch me a couple times."

"No!"

"I'm supposed to have been with you for months. I need to have some injuries."

"I can't hurt you."

No matter what, I can't bring myself to hurt her.

"Dream, it's fine."

I sigh knowing she won't give up.

I punch her several time in face until blood begins running down, staining her purple crop top and blue jeans.

I immediately feel sick. Her perfect face, now bruised with blood running down.

Her gaze falls to my knife hanging on my belt.

"No!"

I hurriedly cover the knife knowing what she wants.

"Dream do you want him to be suspicious or not?"

"I don't but—"

"Then do it," she closes her eyes.

"You really don't mind?"

"Do whatever you want. When Tommy's here, pretend your the villain with all the control. Use potions, hurt me, whatever you must."

My heart hurts at the thought of hurting her again. My fingers shakingly lift the knife and bring it to her arm.

One slice leaves blood dripping on the floor. I smear the blood around on her arm and up to her neck. I do the same with the other.

I cut several gashes in her jeans, letting the blood soak in.

I look up and see Y/N's eyes closed, breathing heavily.

"Y/N," my hand falls to her face and kisses her lips softly. "Why did you make me do this?"

I feel her kiss back.

"No matter what, you can't show anything for me. When the time is right, kill me."

I break away and look at her in shock.

"I can't kill you!"

"Yes you can," her voice is soft and hurt. "Whenever you feel it's right, kill me. Wait for Tommy to leave and revive me."

"I—I can't. It'll hurt so much to watch you die."

"I won't die, you said it yourself. You'll only use the revival book on me."

My eyes widen in surprise.

How does she know?

"H—how do you know?"

"You said it in your sleep once," Y/N smiles.

"Oh" I feel my face going red. "Do I talk in my sleep often?"

"Yeah, but it's mostly nonsense."

I sigh with relief. "Good."

"But I still can't kill you. You're not just an object I can toy with. I sometimes think of people as objects that I can use against others. Tommy clearly has attachment to you but I don't want to treat you like an object, you're more than that to me."

"I know that," Y/N says. "But you just have to do your best at acting. The mask will conceal it all."

"Y/N—"

"You have to."

"Please, forgive me for what I'll do."

"I will. This was my idea after all."

I write down the incantation in a book with her name and place it in a chest, ready to burn it.

"Should I go find Tommy?"

"Yeah," she leans back against the wall closing her eyes.

My fingers go to touch her cheek and then her soft lips.

One eye has a purple ring around it and her left cheek is bruised. I remember my own hands doing this.

"Love, I'm so sorry," I whisper kissing her forehead.

"It's all for revenge," she whispers back.

"I can't hurt you while Tommy's here. I just can't. I can't kill you. You mean too much to me."

"Dream," her bloodshot eyes lock with mine. A sick feeling fills my stomach again. "I'm asking you to do this. Please, if you truly love me, do it."

"He's your brother, how could you be okay with this?"

"I wrote to Phil," her face falls and I can see it wasn't an easy decision. "I told him my problem and he knew I would be lying to Tommy. He told me I could do what I felt was right. I love you more than I love Tommy. Plus, this will be revenge for Techno when Tommy betrayed him."

"Thank you my love. Just remember, I will hurt you with a heavy heart of guilt."

"I have a feeling," she says. "When you start, you'll get a feeling of nostalgia again."

Her eyes close. "Go"

I back away and run out of the base. The darkness is still present and the sky is just beginning to lighten, almost dawn.

I silently creep towards Tommy's house and find him staring at a piece of paper in the doorway of his house. As I move closer, I notice it's a picture. A family photo.

Phil standing at the back, arms on Techno and Wilbur's shoulders with a smile. Techno and Wilbur smiling. Techno's hand rests on Y/N's shoulder and Wilbur's rests on Tommy's. Tommy's mouth is open in a big happy grin. Y/N looks on with a smile, beautiful.

"I will get you back Y/N," Tommy whispers into the air.

I write a quick note on a piece of paper and disappear into the forest. Running fast, towards the base.

I'm ready for you. Come to these coordinates. xxx-yyy. No items, no one, or she dies.
