Alexis POV

I woke up with a terrible headache. I looked around to figure out where I was and saw no walls around me. They must have taken them down. The flag was also different.

Than I realized where I was. I was laying right outside of l'manburg. Right by the forest.

"Oh look who is finally awake. I was going to shoot you earlier but I figured I'd rather you feel the pain."

Schlatt and Tubbo walked up to me. Schlatt held a crossbow directly at my small figure.

"This will be slow and painful. Enjoy."

The next thing I knew I had an arrow through my chest. Everything felt so painful I could barely breath. I could just barely here Schlatt walk away after telling Tubbo to dispose of my body. With my last few breaths, I felt Tubbo pick me up and start carrying me into the Forrest.

Welp, this is it.

Tubbo POV

I was running through the forest with a passed out Alex in my arms. She had been out the first time for about 30 hours and in that time tommy and Wilbur had started a rebellion called pogtopia. I had not been formally invited yet but I knew where it was.

I also knew that Wilbur did not trust me. At all. Coming running in with a half dead Alex wouldn't help either.

I finally made it to the entrance and I broke the dirt blocks. As I ran down the stairs I started screaming for help.

Wilbur came in front of me as I made it to the bottom. His eyes were full of confusion and fear. My eyes were full of tears as I had been crying the whole way here.

Tommy came out and narrowed his eyes when he saw me, than he saw Alex and he ran over to come and help.

"Tubbo! What happened?"

"Well once Alex woke up, Schlatt shot her and than he told be to dispose of her body. He thinks she is dead so make sure Schlatt doesn't see her or he'll just try to kill her again. I have to go now so Schlatt doesn't get suspicious. Take care of her please."

And with that, I ran away.

Techno POV

I had spent the last 3 months out in the wild. Dream had pulled me outside that one night and told me that I wasn't allowed here. Or anywhere near here. So I left.

Walking around aimlessly in the wild was very damaging to my mental health. I was so alone. I missed Alex really badly. I missed our late night conversations and having someone to cry to. I missed having a friend to have next to you and even when we weren't talking, just her presence made me happy.

I missed my brothers and my dad as well but not nearly as much as Alex.

I was sitting at the small base I had made and observing the world around me. There were spruce trees and snow all around me. It was calm, just watching the snow fall from my little wooden cottage.

I wanted to go home really badly and I missed everything there so I made an impulse decision. I knew this was a bad idea and every bone in my body was telling me to stay where I was but my mind told me to go home. So I did.

I made sure everything was nice in case I ever needed to come back here and looked around to secure this place in my mind. I had always been really good with directions so it wouldn't be a problem if I just looked at the surrounding landscape.
