A/N: Here's a chapter more full of sad stuff. This chapter has a lot more Evelyn x Wilbur and directly mentions Fundy as her step son because Sally is still a character. Enjoy!
Evelyn would admit, she'd had much better times than the how ever long she'd already been stuck in Manburg.
She hated it. She hated being stuck next to Schlatt everyday. It pained her being separated from Wilbur and Tommy. No matter how irritating they were. She missed those two troublemakers so damn much.
Evelyn was either practically attached by hip to Schlatt or was stuck in her room by herself. This gave her almost no chance to have a private conversation with anyone.
Standing, Evelyn moved across the room she and Wilbur had shared not long ago. She reached down under the bed, grabbing a leather journal. She moved back to the desk and opened up to a blank page.
Day 15
Time's gone on so slowly yet it has barely been more than two weeks.
God, I miss them so much. Nothing feels the same anymore. They were such a bright light in my life that I couldn't imagine them not being here with me. But they're gone now. I may never see them again so I'd better just pull myself together and get over it. Schlatt's won. The odds of him losing his power are slim.
If I were smart I would just grab Fundy and Tubbo and get the hell out of this place. The problem is I don't think Fundy wants to leave. He supported Schlatt from the second he was put in power. I'm also pretty sure Tubbo has been sneaking off to wherever Tommy and WIlbur are hiding out.
It's not like Schlatt would just completely miss us if we left. He's constantly talking to Tubbo and he's kept me by his side every single day.
Speaking of Schlatt he's been so controlling. Constantly telling me what I can and can't wear. And he's been much more touchy the last couple days. Occasionally reaching a bit out of my comfort zone. I don't know how to tell him to stop, though. It's not like a can. He'll hurt Fundy or Tubbo if I step out of line. If only he kept those two out of it. I would have done something about the whole situation already if those two weren't at risk.
Sometimes I ask myself why I care so much about those two. It's not like we're related. I mean Tubbo is somewhat of an inlaw and Fundy is my step son but it's not the same. I guess they both mean so much to Wilbur that it rubbed off on me.
If I can talk to Tubbo alone I'll ask him if he knows anything about Wilbur and Tommy. Perhaps they've gotten help and are going to try and get Schlatt out of power. I just wish I knew they were okay. I can't even be entirely sure they're still alive.
I suppose I'll just have to hope this will all resolve quickly and things can go back to the way they were before. When we were all happy. Or at least as happy as we were going to get.
Until tomorrow,
Evelyn
Evelyn signed her name at the end of the page and closed the book softly. She still felt so overwhelmed about everything, like she was still feeling the shook she felt just over two weeks prior. She moved back to the bed and put the journal back where it was before. Full of past memories Evelyn sat upon the bed and reminisced on happier days. When they would all just sit and laugh together. When she'd shake her head at her family's shenanigans. Anything to take her mind off the thought of the days to come. The act she would have to put on for Schlatt. She hated holding her tongue around him but it was a game of survival and Evelyn knew she had to survive. If not for herself, for her family. For her country. They all needed her and she wouldn't give up. She wouldn't lose without fighting her damn hardest to beat Schlatt.
Evelyn would be prepared for the day when she could finally get rid of the monster that took everything from her. She would be ready to stab Schlatt in the back for what he's done to tear apart everyone she cared about.
