A/N- Sorry for no chapters recently. I have been dealing with writers block so I watched and read lots of dream smp stories as well as horror films for inspiration. I have also been dealing with mental health issues so I haven't been in the right state of mind but I'm back now.

Also, I will be changing the story into povs cuz I find it easier to write in

Trust in the voice..

--Flashback (Dream's Pov)--

"Tommy..."I said, softly. I looked at the poor boy. His clothes were rags, torn and dirty. His face was pale as if he hasn't been eating much and dirty from being in the mines for almost his entire days of exile.

He was on his knees, staring at the chaos that surrounded him. His home was destroyed as well as his hope. He slowly looked up at me as I spoke. I could see his once bright blue eyes were now grey and lifeless. I couldn't help but feel guilt for the child. With a heavy heart, I sighed.

"Think about what you have done..."

With that, I turned and left, leaving the boy to cry in sorrow.

"Why did you do that?!..." I snapped as soon as I was out of Tommy's ear range.

'You told me what you wanted... I'm just here to deliver... He said. I could sense the evil tone in his voice.

'You... You didn't need to do that... He's just a kid...He didn't..." I started

'He's a valuable kid. More than you know... You called me. I could sense your desires, Dream...That is why I'm here..You said that you want power...' He snapped back, interrupting me completely

"...Not like this..." I whispered.

'You wanted me... Don't you remember. You need respect in order to get power. That boy is the only one who doesn't listen to you. The only one who goes against you. You need him.. You need him by your side, even if it means torture. If you have to brainwash him into your servant, so be it. We need control again..' He laughed... The type of laugh that sends shivers down your spine and I felt that chill.

"We..??" I asked suddenly.

'If you wanted to stop the torturing, Dream. Why didn't you stop me??. Why didn't you control yourself and stop me from hurting him...' He asked. His voice echoed in my head... Why didn't I?

"You know why..." I snapped, gritting my teeth in anger.

'I do... You are weak... Weak willed and weak of character. That is why you don't have any power. You care too much. You called on me to get stronger but you are still weak... I took it on myself to get power. To get control...Not for you...'

"What...?" I started. Suddenly, pain flowed through my body as if ot was on fire. I screamed as I dropped to the floor like a rock, gritting my teeth in desperate to ease the pain but it continued.

'Since you are too weak, I'll finish the job myself... I just need control' He hissed loudly.

The pain stopped as closely as it started. I felt myself stand up and roll my shoulders as if to loosen them up...

I didn't have control. No movement was mine. No words. No punch. No scheme were mine. It was all him... I felt helpless as I watched myself lose my friends. Torture. Plan... Kill... I almost killed Tubbo that day. I watched Tommy Suffer. I watched Sapnap and George distant themselves away from me.

All because I wanted power. I called upon the god of chaos. The god of Power to gain power but instead... he gained my control..

--End of Flashback (Tubbo's Pov)--

"What's going on, Tubbo..??" Tommy asked after calming down from a recent panic attack. His eyes full of worry and concern.

I looked away from Tommy's concerned gaze, shutting my eyes tightly to gather my thoughts. Should I tell him?..

'You dont need to. This is a secret between us. The less people who know, the less problems will be caused...' The voice replied, softly. It spoke with understanding. Gentle and comfort. I could tell there was hints of anger within that caring tone.

"He's my best friend. I have already lost him. Betray him. I can't keep secrets away from him... Not again.." I whispered, low enough for Tommy not to hear.

'I'm your friend... Remember?..When Tommy leave, I'll still be here. To help. You just need to trust me..' The voice grew louder. With that, the comforting tone grew too. I felt... safe as if this.. thing.. was protecting me. I shook my head, breaking out of whatever spell it put me under.

"No,." I simply said. "This isn't the right thing to do.."

I opened my eyes and turned to Tommy, who had a confused yet understanding expression on his face. I took a deep breath.

"I hear a voice" With that, the voice's loud disagreements fell silent and Tommy's concerned face turned into total confusion about my sudden statement. It was as if the world fell silent for a few minutes until Tommy broke it:

"Since when..??" He asked, quietly in almost a whisper tone.

"Since after the day we defeated Dream.. The day I was about to..." I cut myself off, recalling the memory. Tommy's eyes darkened at the memory. I could tell he was either pissed or upset. Maybe both.

"That green bitch..." Tommy muttered. His eyes fell to the floor for a split second before returning to my gaze.

"Voices?... Like Technoblade?. Sometimes, I hear voices as well but they just mostly say..." He started. I slowly grabbed his shoulders. He winced at the touch, causing me to quickly let go.

"Not like that. I only hear one voice. This voice is more sinister." I cut him off, trying to explain my situation. Tommy nodded.

"Have you tried to get rid of it?.." He asked

'You can't...'

"I dont know how.." I said, ignoring the voice.

'I'm here forever...'

"It's just here and I don't know how to get rid of it or even shut it up" I spoke, a bit louder than before.

'I'm only here to help you... You wanted me to help you... I could sense it..'

"It... wants to help me... It... knows me. Knows what I want deep down.." I said, calmly. I stared ahead, trying my best to listen to both Tommy and the voice.

"Tubbo..."

'You just need to trust me, Tubbo..'

"Tubbo.."

'You don't need anyone else..'

"Tubbo..!"

'Im the only one who can help you'

"TUBBO!"

Tommy's yell jolted me from my trance. I gasped in shock. I could feel tears gathering in my eyes. The voice was now silent.

"What happened.." He asked. I reached over to give me a hug. I clinged to him, crying on his shoulder.

"I don't know.." I whispered. With that, Ranboo and Puffy burst into the room, causing us to jump at the sudden sound and broke apart.

"We hear Tommy's yell and got worried... Sorry." Ranboo chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck once he realised there was no danger.

I rolled my eyes at Ranboo's attempt of protection. I could see Tommy's eyes communicate with me as if asking me if we should tell them. I shook my head, causing Tommy to nod and look back at Puffy, who started to speak:

"Well.. I think it's time to go to sleep...I know you haven't been sleeping properly.." She said, looking between us.

"Can... Can Tubbo sleep with me?.. " Tommy asked. Puffy nodded and left the room with Ranboo, who was probably going to snuggle up with Micheal.

"Like the old days.. When we would sometimes have a nightmare or a bad day.. I think this qualifies as a bad day for both of us.." Tommy smiled.

We both got into bed. As soon as Tommy's head hit the pillow, he was the first to sleep. I smiled and shifted over to the window which was slightly open, letting the cool night breeze flood through. The moon was bright and full. The moon had always a peaceful aura around it. I closed my eyes and let sleep overcome me.
