Dream hesitated before speaking. "I-..m-maybe. But-.." He wiped away a tear. "Look, i'll tell you something. He can't kill Ink, and with how he is right now..he'll keep trying to kill him. Which means we have more time than normal. We COULD escape, but- Only if you want to." |..And I'm hoping you'll say yes.| Tavia thought for a moment. "Wait..why..why can't he kill Ink?" Dream gulped. "Ink is.." "Ink doesn't have a soul. Ink CAN'T die. The universe won't let him. Only me and Nightmare k-know of this..as we feel emotions." "The emotions he had were fake. It was so obvious to us..but- I just couldn't break my friendship and other friendships with him. And Nightmare couldn't break the universe balance." He just..sighed. F She paused. This was… a lot to think about. However, now was not pondering time. “Let’s get the he|| outta here.” Dream seemed to brighten a bit at her agreement. Even if he did come back, they’d probably be gone. Once the potion wore off, she’d be- Oh. |…details, details, let’s just get out-| For the most part, she was confident she’d be fine. No magic freak-outs. Hopefully. But hope? She hasn’t felt that for a while. It’s a nice feeling. P "Okay, hold on. I might be able to get you out of that cell-.." Oh yeah,, that book was still there. Dream didn't want to waste his magic, so he broke Tavia out of the cell by getting the lock off, with the book. "Hold still for a second.." He healed her the best he could. "Okay- Well, that's a good sign actually..he hasn't took my magic away..I'll teleport you first, okay? It may take some time for myself to come- But when you get there, tell Classic Sans who you are, he's aware of this..situation. Him and his Papyrus should help you, so HIDE. Okay? Okay- GO!-" Dream teleported her to the classic universe, she looked around holding where her arm was SUPPOSED to be. She ran through snowdin to the other side, Sans was out there waiting on the porch. "holy crap- It's erm- Tavia." Sans extended his hand, to which she took it, very quickly. He teleported them to WaterFall, there was an actual waterfall. "go through the water, there's a little place to hide there. pap will be with you." Tavia hesitated but nodded. She went through the water and there was a little space there, it was small, but enough to fit about three people. The 'stars' were placed on the rocks, the only thing that was a light. Papyrus was there too, he had a backpack in hand, holding it tightly. "Pap?.." "Tavia! You're Here! Okay, Look- This Backpack Has The Resources You Need." Tavia nodded. God this was so much to process. Wait. Dream. She had almost forgotten about Dream! She wondered if he was okay... F She could only hope. Everything was kind of hitting her at once. She had escaped. /He/ was probably preoccupied. She had help. Dream could be hurt. Dream could be fine. Ink was in the process of getting battled against. …maybe. There were too many unknown factors. She didn’t know what was happening, if she would be alright… If she would ever be able to go back to normal. All she could do is wait until the all-clear. |…stay safe, dream, Classic, pap…| P "Tavia. I'm..I'm Going Out. Take The Bag. I Have To Check On My Brother. I Just-..I Can't Leave Him There. Not By Himself." Tavia perked up,.."wh-what?" She'll be here, alone? "I'm- I'm Sorry." He gave her the backpack, looking around before heading out of the cave. "Please, Stay Safe." Papyrus ran, but before he went, Tavia could swear she heard Papyrus say: "If He's Going To Die. Then We'll Die Together." |..No. No no no no no- Please, PLEASE DON'T DIE PAPYRUS, SANS, DREAM- So many lives are already gone- Not you too!| She was on the verge of tears, but she had to be quiet. To hide. She took the backpack and opened it, glancing of what was inside. Food, blankets, clothes, water, a weapon, more stuff..and..and a note? She grabbed the note, unfolding it and reading it aloud. "Hey..it's..Papyrus, Sans, and Dream.." |No. No no no-| "If you're reading this then i'm glad you got there, to Papyrus and Sans safely." She gulped. "And if you're reading this and I haven't come back." Please, Dream, don't- "I'm probably dusted." "Please, make it out alive. For me?" She started crying. "sup. its me sans, and with my bro of course. isnt he cool? hey..if i die. protect pap for me, wontcha? thats all i ask from you." The two brothers..She understood why Papyrus had to leave now. "HELLO HUMAN!.." Papyrus. Of course he wrote in all capital letters. "AS YOU KNOW, I LOVE AND CARE FOR MY BROTHER VERY MUCH, AND ALL MY FRIENDS." "SO STAY ALIVE FOR ME, OKAY? TAKE CARE OF THE HUMAN TOO! AND OF COURSE YOURSELF, NYEH HEH HEH!.." "sincerely..Dream, Papyrus, and sans." She looked at the bottom of the note, there was a faint dry mark. Were they crying when they were writing this? |Of course they were crying, idiot.| Just like she was, crying. F She almost broke down. Right there. …but she had to stay strong. For all of them. For Dream. For Sans. (Cont)
…maybe even for herself. But… She wasn’t ready. Not for all of this. |No. I am.| What? No you aren’t. |I am. It’s time to stand up.| What do you mean? |I made the decision to stop cowering. Stop fearing. I’m not going to give him the privilege of me giving up.| She shakily stood up and clenched her fists. Whatever happens next… She can take it. She’ll try.
