Wanted

"Dream is my younger brother technically speaking and the boy you know as Ranboo is also our little brother..." I waited for them to process what I had just said so I didn't fry their brains. Techno spat his coffee back out into his mug and stared at me wide-eyed. "That... Ranboo? That... kid is related to that green bastard? You're related to that green bastard?!"  I looked at the hardwood floor, noticing all of the scrapes and gashes on the old oak floor. It reminded me of a childhood home, all the ones I used to read about.

"Yeah, wait till you hear the rest," I laughed a bit and started playing with my fingers again. "We're not originally from the Overworld or the Nether." Phil gasped and snapped his fingers, "The End! You're an Elytrian and Ranboo's an Enderman.... then what is Dream?" I smiled, "He's a Farlander Enderman. Just like Ranboo's white half, he's full Farlander." Techno and Phil seemed flabbergasted despite the smile that rested on their face at the newfound information of Ranboo. "You think that's cool? Our mother is the Enderdragon from your legends and books." 

I could have sworn their jaws hit the floor as they stared at me completely and utterly baffled. Phil was the first to snap out of his stupor as he jumped to his feet, nearly knocking into Techno trying to get to the bookshelf. "End, End, End, End, End- Ah! Here it is." He came back over to our little circle with a very large book in his hand and plopped down back in his spot. He started flipping through the pages and it was a few seconds later that I caught Techno staring at me oddly.

"Do you.... have a question?"

"How the fuck are you not a dragon then?"

I flushed pink a bit and went back to looking at my feathers. "Our father is the King of the Elytrian, so we took his more human features, and our mother can shift into a more human form as well." Techno nodded slowly as if trying to understand a complicated math problem. Phil broke us out of our thoughts when he started reading aloud.

"The Enderdragon can either be a female or a male, though only it is very, very rare for one to be a male. The current Enderdragon as far as we know is a Queen, and she is centuries old. To keep the peace between the Elytrian Kingdom and the Ender Kingdom, the previous Kings and Queens had their children marry. Lucky for them, they had already fallen in love with each other. Not much else is known about them other than that they are expecting children of their own soon..." Phil flipped to the very back of the book where it was dated, "This book is dated back over three thousand years ago." Techno slowly turned toward me, staring at me from the corner of his eye, "Y/n. How old are you exactly?" I shrank under his pressuring gaze and avoided all eye contact.

"Dream and Ranboo aren't my only siblings. Dream has a twin brother named Nightmare. He is the complete opposite of Dream, you thought Dream was evil? Well, his brother lives up to his name... On my 16th birthday, there was a really bad argument between Nightmare, Dream, and my parents. In turn, they almost destroyed the castle fighting each other. I wanted out of there, so I grabbed Ranboo and fled to the overworld. I didn't know at the time that my mother had practically forbade me from leaving the End, as I was to be next in line for the throne. I think that is what they were fighting about too..." 

Techno seemed to be piecing things together, "In turn, your brother came after you to make you disappear so he could have the throne," I was silent after he hit the nail on the head. Phil's voice was a low murmur as he spoke, realization dawing on them both. "You were locked in solitude for almost three-thousand years, weren't you? You're at least three thousand years old..." I swallowed hard, they weren't dense or complete idiots, instead, they were incredibly intelligent, I couldn't hide anything from them.

"Y/n, who exactly are you running from? Why did you run to the overworld?" My head snapped up to meet his gaze, I could see all the emotion burning in them before he masked it. "I think Nightmare was trying to kill Ranboo and I-" All of a sudden everything went black and it was like I was floating in a black abyss.

I felt something latch onto my back and try to drag me back but I fought tooth and nail, squirming, screaming. "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD! DREAM WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE BUT YOU JUST HAD TO GET IN THE WAY! I'LL KILL YOU, I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU AND TAKE THE THRONE! I WILL RULE THE OVERWORLD, THE NETHER, AND THE END!  And you won't be able to stop if you're dead."

I felt like I was drowning, suffocating even, like something was choking me. I clawed at my throat only to feel a bunch of black goop was wrapped around my throat, trying to pull me into a dark pool. Out of nowhere, a green light flashed in front of me causing my eyes to snap open. There in front of me, I saw Dream. He was without a mask and his emerald eyes were shining as bright as ever. He stared at me in shock for a moment before there was another flash of light next to us, this time it was a bright white. Ranboo stood tall in hi spot next to Dream in his human form. 

We all locked eyes and stared for a moment before the slime tightened around my neck and yanked, I reached out for them in a silent plea for help. Without a second thought, both of them rush forward to help me. Ranboo grabbed me under the arms and Dream took the Ax off of his back, swinging it as hard as he could while holding my left arm. The ax cut through the thick black goop, freeing me, and sending all of us flying into the abyss. The area around us became lighter and turned to a foggy grey. 

In a spur of the moment, I wrapped my wings around us as we hit the ground, but instead of hitting solidity, we splashed into clear water, however, when I opened my eyes it was a corally reef we were swimming around. Panic set in when I remembered Ranboo couldn't touch any water in the form he was in, but when I flipped around in the tropical water, he seemed alright. 

Although he was looking at his hands completely baffled not understanding why he wasn't burning alive. Dream swam up beside me looking just as confused as I was. I grabbed both of their hands and swam up to the surface using my wings.

We shot out of the water like a rocket, Ranboo dangling from my right arm and Dream was on my left, both coughing and spluttering for air. I wheezed and looked around, there was an island about fifty feet from us.

Where the hell are we?
