Chapter 1: 001 - No, we're not there yet

⚠️ This story will have no trigger warning. If you're not comfortable with topics of manipulation, abuse, suicidal thoughts...please don't read this story. ⚠️

A/N: Also just like 1XAlineX1, I'll have a Tommy's friendship metre. Only for him though. It will be at the end of each chapter! Enjoy <3 Also, I highly recommend reading on your phone.

Tommy POV:

My legs sway with the gust of the wind. The view from my tower was breathtaking. The night sky was covered in stars that had already died. I signed. And look down at the land that was once my camp. Dream had found out I had been hiding things and decided to blow everything up.

I did deserve it. I betrayed my one and only friend, Dream.

Meow.

My eyes drift to the ground below me. There stood a small siamese cat with blue eyes on the grass below my tower.

"I-I'm not alone?"

"Wait you're not allowed to be here!" I panicked.

I have to hide this cat before Dream comes back! I look into the cat's ocean blue eyes. Being impatient the cat started climbing up the dirt tower.

"Hold on! I'm coming down!"

I told a deep breath of fresh sea air. My knees buckle and I leapt into the air, landing in the ocean. The water jumped around my body, soaking my clothes in the process. The cat ran over to me, though it didn't dare touch the water. The clear liquid was like a sicken to the small creature.

"Aww hello, little guy." I somewhat smile.

"Ello," the cat responded. My eyes widened, what the actual fuck? Surprised that the cat talk back to me. I mean really who does he think he is?

"Cat got your tongue?" The cat spoke. "Look I don't really get time to deal with nonsense so I'll just be going."

I can't let him leave. He the only other pers— sentient being I made contact with other than Dream. I ca- Won't be alone again!

"Wait! W-where are you going?"

"Home." The cat declared.

"Oh." I pause for a moment before asking, "Where is your home?"

Please don't be in the greater Dream SMP, please.

"The swamp."

A swamp? I've never seen or even heard of a swamp in the greater Dream SMP. That must be far away from L'manburg!

"It's settled then! I'm coming with you!"

"Are we there yet?"

"No. It's been 5 minutes."

"Oh."

My eyes landed on my exile base. We have gotten far enough that we couldn't see most of the stuff. Only the Christmas tree could be spotted from this far, even though it had mostly been blown up by Dream, leaves still floated in the air. My eyes watered from the sight.

"Are we there, yet?" I asked through the tall trees of the jungle. The cat had gotten far from my line of sight.

A group of parrots chatted with each other. I advanced over to the small group of birds. I pulled out a few seeds I had in my bag. A red parrot landed on my shoulder.

(A/N: Everyone has a bag, it is a replacement for their inventory. This story is like realistic MC)

"Squawk! Are we there now? Squawk!" The parrot copied. I giggled at its action. The cat jumps near me, scaring all the birds away.

"Nope, not even close. Let's keep moving," the cat spoke. He looked about done with my shit.

I'm not becoming a burden, am I?

"Are we there yet?"

The snow chilled my body. I wrapped my arms around my stomach, trying to protect myself from the cold weather.

"No! Stop asking!" The cat stared me down.

OK geez, I was only asking.

"Argh, why is your home so fucking far away?" I was sulking at this point. It had been three whole days of walking. Of course, we stop every now and then for rest.

I swear I have seen the whole world just from this journey.

"She doesn't like people."

"She?"

Just as I asked I stepped into the lake of the swamp water. It felt as if something wrapped my foot and dragged me under the water. My head shakes and turns but all I see is a blur of colour.

I can't see shit in this mucky water.

My arms flail around, trying to free me from whatever detains my foot.

I fought in multiple wars, there is no way I'll die here!

Just then I felt my whole body being lifted out of the water. The cold muddy water no longer surrounded me but was now below my body. My lungs hurl up the water my throat sucked up when I was taken under.

What the hell!? Am I floating?

"What are you doing in my swamp!"

My whole body froze. A young woman's voice echoed through the swamp. I couldn't tell exactly what she look like the cause of the large witch hat that covers her from head to toe. She had a rope in the same matching F/C of her hat.

"Sorry I always wanted to say that! I'll put you down now." She smiled and adjusted her hat upwards. Her E/C shiny like gemstones well her lustrous H/C flow was far longer than mine own.

Wait didn't she say she'd get me down?

My eyes turn to her hand. She held a long stick covered in different gems and flowers. The top had a round item that looked to be an eye of ender. An item that I only heard in stories, since it was banned decades ago.

With the flip of her wrist, she waved to her staff. Air wrapped around my body pulling me towards the ground. I was just about ready to bend down and kiss the damn thing because of how nauseating being in the air made me feel.

"Though the question still stands, who are you?" The young woman readied her weapon.

"Big man Tommy Innit!" I said not so confidently. I let out another cough, my eyelids felt heavy.

"Well it's nice to meet you, Tommy, I'm—"

The light went out.

He doesn't know who you are. And even though you could be American, he is willing to give you a chance.

Also, I hate how humans have decided to spell common words differently depending on where you live, cause in Canada, it is metre and in the USA it is meter. Both are right and wrong, like is grammar not already hard enough? 🤨
