A sting that cant be healed

"Tubbo..?" Tommy stuttered in pain and horror as his hands held still in the air as a sign of surrender. He keeled down in front on me. Fresh tears rolled down his face as he whimpered in fear

"Tommy... N..no..." I tried to speak but nothing came out as if my words were stuck in my throat. I could feel a smirk spread across my face as I held my glistening netherite axe at his throat. His face was covered in scars and bruises. A deep cut down his cheek dripped in blood.

"Tommy... It isn't me. I...I can't control.." I wanted to scream. I wanted to drop the axe and give Tommy a hug. To stop the pain. The hurt.

"You should have listen to me, Tubbo.." The voice whispered in my head. With a heavy sigh, it continued:

"Now, look what you've done.."

I tried to reach out. To stop him... No.. Myself.

"Long live Theseus..." I heard. I saw Tommy's eyes widened in horror.

"NOO!!.." I screamed...

Too late...

I watched in pain as the axe swiped down flawlessly towards the boy. A bloodcurdling scream echoed through the darkness. Blood oozed from his lifeless body, painting the once green grass red.

I felt sick... I wanted to sob.. I wanted to run over to his body.. To cradle him in my arms.. Whispering and sobbing into his bloody corpse... but.. I couldn't..

I watched myself pulled out the axe and walked away with no mercy, leaving him like he was... nothing..

'Lesson 8... Always finish the task.'

I woke up in a cold sweat as I screamed in agony. My eyes were blurred with tears. My breathing quickened as the sudden nightmare replayed in my memory.

"I... I can't..." I muttered to myself.

As if on cue, Tommy and Puffy burst open the door and sprinted over to me.

Tommy was the first to realize what was happening.

'Oh shit...!' I heard him say before kneeling down in front of me. My mind replayed him kneeling with an axe close to his throat, threatening to kill him.

"No..No.. Tommy.." I sobbed. A gentle hand rubbed my back in a soothing pattern, helping me calm down.

"It's Okay.. I'm right here.. Come on, Tubbo, breath with me, ok? Tommy whispered as he took deep breaths.

I followed his actions. Taking in shaky, deep breaths and out.

After a couple of minutes, I managed to calm down. My vision become more clear to see that Puffy was the one rubbing my back and Tommy was helping me calm down.

"Did you have a nightmare..??" Puffy asked as she continued to rub my back. It was comforting. I nodded in response.

"What was it about...??" Puffy asked, unsure whether she asked the right question or not.

I looked over at Tommy, who flicked his eyes between me and Puffy. He seem to have gotten my message.

"I'll speak to Tubbo. Why don't you check on Ranboo and Micheal..??" Tommy said, suddenly as he practically pushed Puffy out of the room before she could reply.

--Puffy's Pov--

Before I could speak, Tommy pushed me out of the bedroom and shut the door. I sighed as I made my way downstairs to meet with Ranboo and Micheal.

"Is everything okay?.." Ranboo asked in worry.

"He's fine. Just a.. nightmare" I replied.

'No way a nightmare made that much of a panic though...' I thought to myself.

I seated myself down beside Micheal, who was tossing his food around as Ranboo tried to get him to eat while cleaning him at the same time. I chuckled at the adorable sight in front of me.

"Do you know what wrong with him..?" Ranboo suddenly asked after minutes of Micheal giggling.

"No idea..." I sighed, shaking my head. I knew immediately who he was referring to.

"He will tell us eventually.." Ranboo said. He moved away Micheal's food and started to clean the table, which was messed with food.

"It's like not like hes the only one hiding secrets..." He mumbled to himself but I caught on.

I opened my mouth to ask him what he meant when Tommy and Tubbo appeared on the stairs. Tubbo looked rather shaken up as Tommy told him that it will be fine. Tommy grabbed his hand gently and lead him downstairs.

--Beforehand (Tubbo's Pov)--

"I'll speak to Tubbo. Why don't you check on Ranboo and Micheal..??" Tommy said, suddenly as he practically pushed Puffy out of the room before she could reply.

"That was rude.." I pouted and folding my arms as he gently closed the door. He just shrugged as he seated himself beside me.

"The voice... We need to get rid of it.." I blurted out.

"How??.. We don't even know how you end up with it.." Tommy replied, shocked.

"It started when We left Dream's attachments hideout. If I could just ask dream..." I started before getting shushed up by Tommy.

"No.. No fucking way are you going to that prison.. Not after what he did... To me..." Tommy breathed out, shaking slightly at the memory.

"Tommy.." I reached out to him. He looked at me before smiling.

"Im fine... I have been going to Puffy's Therapy office. She is amazing.." Tommy beamed as if he did the best thing in the world.

"That's amazing..," I smiled back. "Maybe I should stop by.." I muttered to myself.

" What happened in your nightmare..??" Tommy asked. His beaming face fell into a concerned expression. I shook my head, looking down. Tommy waited for my response.

"You died..." I whispered, looking up at him. His eyes widened as he thought to himself. He opened his mouth to speak before I cut him off.

"I killed you.." I blurted out suddenly. Tommy turned to me in shock.

"How?.." He asked softly.

"I... I didn't have control. I felt so.. real... All I could hear was the voice and your scream.. as you died.." I stuttered. My hands were shaking wildly before Tommy closed his hands on mine, calming them down.

"Are you saying the voice made you do it??" Tommy asked. I nodded in reply.

"Has it said anything today?.." Tommy asked. His blue eyes fixed on me. His eyes swirled with worry and pain.

The question make me think. It hasn't said anything since last night. I don't know whether to be concerned or happy but regardless, I shook my head, answering Tommy's question.

"I think I should ask Dream..." I said, very sure of my statement. Tommy looked at me as if I was insane before shaking his head and sighing.

"If that's what you want but... You have to take someone with you. I can't go because.. Sam isn't letting me go back in..." He paused before continuing

"I'll ask Sam Nook. He can come with you as like your body guard" Tommy said. His eyes brightened at the thought of me going with Sam Nook. I knew he was very scared of dream after dying to his hands.

"Thank you, Tommy.. " I wrapped my arms around him, bringing him into a hug. He returned the hug. We broke apart as my stomach growled with the demand of food. We both chuckled as we make our way downstairs.

"Did you think We will be ok..??" I asked as we were halfway down the stairs.

"It will be fine..." Tommy smiled but I could tell, despite his smile, something was troubling him inside.
