Chapter 1
Nova crashed through the spruce trees, her long dark hair flying behind her. She had to get away from the people that were chasing her. They had found her camp earlier, or would it be last night? Nova had been running for so long and she couldn't remember what time it had been when she left. She remembered having to go out to get water and hearing a twig snap while she grabbed the water buckets. At the time Nova had assumed it was just a wild animal but now she was convinced it was the people who had chased her. She had gone to the little creek at the bottom of the hill, she had a distant memory of it once being called The Legend River but had no idea who told her it. Once Nova got to the creek she started filling up her buckets careful not to touch the water with her hands. A little bit splashed on her hand burning and immediately causing flashbacks. The last time she was in water was when her and her old friends were playing truth or dare at the lake, and of course they had told her to go into the water. “Bastards...” Nova muttered as she got up from the rock she was laying on and stepped slowly down the shore until she was at the water's edge. She watched carefully as the tides pulled in and out. It was terribly hot, and even though her senses fought against it, it might feel nice for the cool substance to hit against her skin. Okay... She thought to herself, her face clearly showing signs of anxiety. Okay, we go in the stupid water to prove those pricks wrong, and we get it over with. The plan circulated in her head, as her anxiously worn expression turned into somewhat of a smirk. “You gonna be a pussy and back out?” She heard a voice say behind her before hearing the familiar laughs and wheezes of her friends. She rolled her eyes, suddenly filled with a newfound bravery and her usual cocky personality started to work its way bad through her veins. “Yes, actually. I was thinking about doing so, but if you insist I can surely be on my way.” When she heard a few groans behind her, she knew she was successful. “Just do the stupid dare or I’ll throw my picaxe at your face...” She heard a boy grumble. Nova smiled, "Alright alright.” She said with a laugh as she stared back down at the water again. Somehow she’d lost all bravery in that moment and automatically took a step back, her face flushing when she realized how stupid that must have looked, until her eyes met the water again. She felt sick, and wanted nothing more than to run back home, a familiar territory where no harm was done and nothing could hurt her. She heard footsteps in the rough sand behind her, but before she could turn her head around her horns were suddenly grabbed tightly, making her freeze up as she looked ahead at the lake, now glistening with sun setting. “Just step. In. The. Water. Nova.” She heard the same boy‘s voice in her ear, chilling her to the bone as she suddenly jerked her head forward, as well as throwing her entire body into the body of water. She screamed, she knew that. But when she tried again her voice was muffled, as she sunk farther into the depths. Her skin felt like it was on fire. No, scratch that, it felt like her skin had a canister of gasoline poured on it and then lit on fire. Her instincts weren’t kicking in as she thrashed wildly, suddenly seeing the water stained with red as she saw cuts forming on her arms and legs. She felt her throat clogging up and saw black for a few moments before a familiar red head was staring down at her, right above her face. She was clearly terrified and was yelling something incoherent as her golden eyes suddenly glazed over with tears as she looked back down at her friend. Nova jerked back to reality, tears still in her eyes. She continued to fill the hand carved buckets and forget about the flashback. She had only filled up three of the eight buckets when she heard a loud yelp coming from the direction her camp was in. Nova instantly jumped up her senses alert. Her hand slid to her belt where her twin daggers were tucked away in their sheaths. Nova ran up the hill as quick and as silent as a panther. She climbed up one of the tree's until she was high enough to jump to the next tree. Nova swung through the trees as fast as her arms could go. When she finally reached her camp what she saw broke her heart. Her home was in flames. And in the middle of it all was a man in a mask.

Chapter 2
''Nova leaned in to get a better look at the man. He was wearing a bright green hoodie and a mask pulled slightly up so you could see his mouth. She leaned closer.'' It looked like he was holding an axe in one hand and a loaded crossbow in the other. Whoever this guy was he was expecting a fight. Two other men that Nova hadn't seen crossed over to the man with a mask. “We checked the area Dream¨ The one with black hair and a white shirt with a fire logo said. “There's no one here¨. The masked man, Dream, frowned. “There's food on that rock over there and the coals for the fire are still warm” The last guy, a short brown haired guy with goggles stepped forward. “Maybe they are out hunting” He said. His voice was higher pitched and had an accent that Nova couldn't quite place. “Or maybe they heard you screaming and thought it was a wild fox or something.” White shirt shot back. “You would've screamed if you had fallen down that hill also Sapnap” The brown haired guy grumbled. “Yeah right George, you're just too scared to admit you-” “Shut up both of you” Dream interrupted.He took off his mask so he could see better. He had a rough complexion and had freckles and a scar across his nose. His green eyes were scanning the tree line. Sapnap and George glanced at each other. “Dream, you never take off your mask” George said. “Yeah” Sapnap agreed. “I’ve only seen you do it a few times.” Dream slowly turned in a circle scanning each individual tree for a person. Nova pressed her body up against the tree, hoping that Dream wouldn't see her. “It makes it easier to see things” He replied, finally looking back at Sapnap and George and putting his mask back on. Maybe he didn't see me, Nova thought.”Like the girl up in that tree” Nova froze up. Well that's ironic. She knew she had to move but her body refused. Both Sapnap and George looked up to Nova. “God damn it, I felt like I was being watched” Sapnap groaned. “Hey kid,” George yelled. “Come down here we won't hurt you.” Nova narrowed her eyes. “Yeah right asshole” She yelled back. “That's a bunch of BS” Nova had almost completely forgotten what it was like to talk to other people. But hey, if they don't seem nice, don´t be nice to them. “Ok now I might hurt her.” George muttered. “I heard that!” Nova yelled. “Ya know what,” Sapnap said, taking out his bow. “I bet I could hit her from here.” He pulled an arrow out of his quiver. “It's fine,” Dream cut in. Putting a hand on Sapnaps bow. “She’ll come down eventually.” Sapnap lowered his bow and looked at Dream confused. “How do you know?” he said skeptically. Dream smirked “I know quite a few people who act strong but really are weak and scared on the inside, plus she will need food eventually” Nova frowned. This Dream guy acted like he knew her but… she couldn't remember meeting him. Or anyone for that matter. Honestly she couldn't remember anything from more than three years ago. And that was all living in the woods. Nova had never really let herself think about it. “Lets just camp here until she climbs down” Dream suggested, “We’ll have one person on guard at all times” This was bad, very bad. Nova could tell that Dream was the leader of the group by the way he acted and the way the other two just went along with it. He was smart, really smart. Luckily Nova was smart too. She decided that she would stay in the tree until nighttime. Then at least two of them would be asleep and she could climb down and fight the one who's awake. Of course she didn't want to wake up the others so she would have to distract the guard and lure them somewhere else. She waited for night, occasionally throwing a stick at the trio or insulting them. Anything to make them more tired. By the time it night finally rolled around Nova had called Sapnap an idiot seven times, George a dumbass nine times, and Dream a bastard eleven times along with nicknaming him Smiley. They were definitely getting annoyed. “She's just as bad as Tommy” Sapnap muttered to himself, the trio had decided that he would take the first nightshift George fell asleep and then Dream had gone off on a walk after saying “I’m gonna go scout the area,” to Sapnap. Nova was kind of relieved. Out of all of them Dream scared her the most. Alright, time for the second part of the plan, getting to the ground. Nova looked down checking that Sapnap wasn’t paying too much attention to her. He was sitting by the fire trying to catch a stick on fire. This is my chance, Nova thought. She climbed down as quietly as possible, careful to check on Sapnap whenever she could, until she finally got to the bottom. Nova’s feet hit the ground and she stumbled backwards a bit. “Whoah” She whispered to herself. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. Nova froze. “It’s nice to see you safe on the ground” A familiar voice said. Nova slowly turned her head and looked behind her.

Chapter 3
Rough hands grabbed her horns before she could turn all the way around, and a strong kick to her legs made her fall to her knees. Nova didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. “Sapnap wake up George and get over here” Dream called. “I- what?” Sapnap called back, he sounded surprised. “The girl came down you idiot, now hurry up” Nova tried to lift her head up to see where Sapnap was but Dream forced her head down. “Nuh uh, you're gonna stay here until he gets over here.” He snarled. “I wasn’t trying to run away,” Nova snapped back. “Mhm sure” Dream replied sarcastically. “Just like you weren't gonna run away when you got down from the tree” Nova scowled. She was really starting to dislike Dream. Suddenly she heard more footsteps. Nova’s pointy ears twitched. “Come on George” She heard Sapnap say. “But i’m tirrred” George said. Now that she was closer Nova could hear that George had a bit of an accent. A proper one. “Hurry up guys” Dream yelled. “Alright, alright, we’re coming” George murmured. The footsteps got louder until Nova could see two other pairs of shoes. “Blimey she’s tall” George muttered. Even on her knees Nova was almost to George’s stomach. “You're just short George” Sapnap snickered. “I bet I'm taller than all three of you,” Nova whispered. Sapnap looked at her. “What was that” She looked up, as much as Dream would let her, at him. “I said I bet I’m taller than all three of you.” Nova repeated, with more confidence in her voice this time. “Yeah right you little punk” Sapnap moved to the side out of her vision and Nova felt a sharp pain in her side. She doubled over clutching her side, her head on the ground. Dream had let go of her horns. Sapnap kicked her again. Come on get up, Nova thought. Get up. This is your chance. One. two, three. Nova shot to her feet and whipped around to face the three. She had been right, She was at least five inches taller than Dream and he was the tallest out of the three of them. Her knives! Nova quickly took both knives out of their sheaths and held them out at the ready. “Where the hell did she get those!” Sapnap yelled. Dream backed up and his axe suddenly appeared in his hand. “Look kid” Dream said, he looked oddly calm. “You really don’t want to fight us.” George stepped forward a bit. “Uh Dream, she looks like she really does know how to use those.” He said cautiously. “I- I mean I know you could easily take her but I don’t know about-” He was cut short by Sapnap laughing. “Come on George,” Sapnap chuckled. “There are three of us and she has to be at least three years younger than us” George frowned. “She also is taller than all three of us by quite a bit and just happens to have twin daggers that look like they're made out of obsidian which just happens to be one of the hardest blocks to melt and shape.” He protested. Nova smiled and said, “They are” Both George and Sapnap paled and even Dream frowned. “But those are nearly impossible to get,” Dream said. Was that amazement or jealousy in his voice, or both? “Y-yeah where did you get it?” Sapnap questioned. “I wouldn't tell you even if I did remember.” Nova admitted. George frowned. “You don’t remember?” Nova nodded. Why was she opening up to them? Weren't they going to hurt her?Well, Nova thought, I’ll just have to hurt them before they hurt me. Without a warning Nova leaped towards George and pushed him causing him to go off balanced. Nova quickly slipped behind George while he was still regaining his balance and put one of her long dark obsidian against his neck. George tensed up and stopped moving. Dream took a step forward. “Take another step towards me and I’ll kill him” Nova warned. Sapnap went to take another step but Dream stopped him. “You wouldn’t actually kill him would you?” Dream said. “Oh I assure you I would " Nova replied, pressing the knife a little bit harder on George's skin. “Dream, help” George whimpered as a bit of blood started coming out of the cut. Dream sighed. “I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to help you” He leaped forward and knocked Nova away from George. She fell to the ground and stared up at him. How had he done that so easily? “On second thought it might hurt her” He grinned and brought his axe down above her head.

Chapter 4
Nova rolled out of the way just in time. Dream’s axe hit right where her head had just been. Nova spun around and rolled to her feet, Her eyes wide. She saw that Sapnap was helping George who was on the ground coughing so for now, it was just her and Dream. Dream came at her again and this time she managed to stay on her feet. His axe and her knives collided in a loud CLANG! “What's your name kid?” Dream asked, as he slowly pressed his axe closer and closer to Nova’s face. “Why should I tell you” She growled back, her face shining with sweat. Dream laughed, he wasn’t even breathing hard! “Well, usually it’s nice to know the names of my victims.” He sneered. “Spoken like a true psycho” Nova shot back. Dream just smirked and pressed harder. Nova’s hands were now shaking under the pressure of Dream’s axe. It was close enough to her face that she could see tiny letters carved into the metal. Nightmare. Nova dugg her feet into the ground, determined to not fall over. Dream lashed out his leg and swiped at Nova’s feet causing her to fall on her butt. She blinked spots out of her eyes and raised her knives expecting another axe blow but when her vision finally cleared she saw that Dream had taken out his crossbow and had a bolt fitted into place. He held the crossbow expertly as he pointed it at Nova. Once again Nova froze up, she was rooted to the ground. “Look, no one can see me without my mask and live, it's just my rules” He sighed. “Oi, what about us!” Sapnap shouted. Dream rolled his eyes, “Thats different” He muttered back, “Keep helping George” Sapnap went back to helping George but he still kept one eye on Dream and Nova just in case. “Alright No Name, I guess I’ll just have to kill you without knowing your name, no one would know that you're here” Nova flinched and tried to back up a bit. “No one would know that I’m here anyway” Dream momentarily looked confused but in a blink of an eye regained his posture. “Well then I’ll just get on with it.” Nova’s eyes widened, she didn’t want to tell him her name but she definitely didn’t want to die. Dream’s fingers slowly closed down on the trigger but before he could fully pull it- “It’s Nova” Dream stopped and looked her in the eyes. “What” Nova sat up a little straighter. “I said, it’s Nova, my name is Nova” This time it took Dream a while to regain his composure. “N-nova?” He asked, “But how is that possible you-" He drifted off. Nova had no idea what he was talking about so she took the chance to attack Dream. She took out one of her throwing knives and chucked it at Dream. It was a bit harder because she was sitting on the ground but it still hit him in the leg. The knife jerked Dream back to reality and yelled and fully pressed the trigger on his crossbow. Nova watched as time seemed to slow. The bolt came straight towards her but she couldn’t seem to move. Nova screamed and she felt a searing pain in her right shoulder. Her other knife went flying off to the side as spots danced across her eyes as she collapsed onto the ground. Dream limped over to her. She clutched her shoulder and attempted to crawl away from the masked man, but he was fast even with her knife impaled in his leg. He put his injured leg on Nova’s stomach and pushed her all the way down. Despite his pain he smiled. “Sorry kid, but there's only a few people who have ever beaten me in a fight and none of them are here right now” “And that is where you're wrong Dream”

Chapter 5
Dream whipped around and gripped his axe tightly. Nova craned her neck to see who the person was. But Dream was blocking her vision. “What brings you here tonight Technoblade” He asked curtly. “I was just out for a walk” The same monotone voice said. “I heard some yelling and saw the smoke so I thought I should check it out,” “Out for a walk,” Dream said skeptically “You do know that we are about 5300 blocks away from your house right?” “It was a long walk,” Technoblade replied, his monotone voice made it hard for Nova to tell if he was joking or if he was dead serious. “So why exactly are you here Dream?” Dream shifted his position and Nova caught a glimpse of a red coat. “Also on a walk” He said breezily. “See I would say how many blocks we are away from your house but as far as i’m aware you don’t have one” Technoblade quipped. Nova snickered but ended up clutching her shoulder because it made it hurt more. “You know, I might’ve believed you if you weren't standing in front of an injured girl with horns” How could he see her, she couldn't see him? “It’s none of your business Techno, I’m not going to hurt her, so why don’t you get back to your walk and leave us” Dream shot back. “The Voices are saying that your lying Dream” Technoblade murmured in a lulling voice. “They're saying that you plan to kill the girl” His voice was barely a whisper, “They're saying that you plan to kill her and take her blood” Take her blood, what could that mean? And what were The Voices? “I mean b-blood for the blood god r-right?” Dream stammered. Was it just Nova or did he sound nervous? Someone groaned over to the side and Nova’s ears twitched. She looked over to the side and saw Sapnap and George laying on the ground. George was the one that had groaned and Sapnap appeared to be out cold. Had Techno done that? Clearly Dream was worried for his friends because he rushed over to them to check if they were ok. “There fine, I only knocked them out” Techno said, What did he mean ‘I only knocked him out’? Also how did he do that without making a noise? Nova had so many questions. Suddenly her ears twitched again and she looked up. She screamed and scrambled to back away. The man that must be Technoblade was looming over her, his pig skeleton mask covering the entire top half of his face. His long pink hair was tied up in a ponytail by a golden band. He had pointed ears that were covered in piercings and from where Nova was it looked like his nose was also pierced. In one hand he held a gleaming netherite sword and in the other an enchanted crossbow with red and black rockets. Techno chuckled as Nova reached for her knives only to remember that she had lost both of them while fighting Dream. “Am I not what you were expecting?” Technoblade asked, his head tilted to the side. “I mean the name fits,” Nova admitted, she had decided it was probably best if she just annoyed everyone until they let her go or killed her. Techno shook his head and turned his attention back to Dream who had gotten up and started walking toward him. “I only kill for the right reason, Dream,” He said “You know that.” Dream stood up and walked up to Techno. “Quackity, Tubbo, Schlatt” He listed. “Were they for the right reason?” Techno sighed and smiled slightly. “I don’t regret any of it” “Not even Tubbo” Dream pressed. “Not even Tubbo'' Techno echoed. Nova had no idea who those people were and frankly didn’t really care so she started inching her way over to the bushes where she would be concealed and able to run away. “How has Phil been?” Dream asked, was this guy actually trying to make small talk? Nova was about ten feet from the bushes. “Fine, why do you ask?” Dream shrugged “I just want to know if he is recovering from what happened with Wilbur” Techno tensed up a bit, “He is…” Techno trailed off searching for the right word “Recovering,” he finally decided. Now she was eight feet. “I’m glad to hear that” Seven. “Wilbur made an impact on everyone but Phil more than most,” Techno sighed. “Not only did he go through lots of mental trauma but also quite a bit of physical pain” Six. Whoever this Phil guy was he didn’t sound very happy. “Physical pain?” Dream questioned “Yeah” Techno replied. “When Wilbur hit the button Phil ran forward and shielded him from the blow, the explosion basicly disintegrated his wings, which is why he doesn’t have them now.” Nova was now only five feet away from the bushes. “Huh I had no idea” Dream said. Four “Dream of course you have no idea it's not like you make a point to talk to the people.” Nova was now only four feet away. Dream shrugged “Maybe they just make a point not to talk to me” “Yeah right” Techno snorted “You know your mother has been trying to contact you for the past month right?” Dream froze and looked directly into Techno’s eyes. “Why exactly have you been in contact with Puffy?” He questioned. “I make a point to talk to the people,” Techno replied with a smirk. Nova was now only three feet away from the bushes but to get around the bushes she would have to stand up. Techno and Dream continued talking absentmindedly, temporarily forgetting about Nova. Nova took this as her chance and stood up quickly and quietly, ignoring the searing pain in her shoulder. She jumped over the bush, careful not to make a sound and crouched down. “Oi, Dream” George said, his voice hoarse. “What?” Dream replied, he sounded slightly annoyed that he had interrupted his conversation with Techno. “The girl is gone,” He said. Nova’s eyes widened, had he seen where she went? How had she been so careless! Dream whipped around and saw that Nova was gone. His eyes filled with rage as he searched around for her. “Did you see where she went?” he asked. Nova ducked as Dream turned towards the bushes she was hiding in. Thankfully it didn’t look like he saw her. If he did he was good at hiding it. But if he did see her, what good would it give him? Nova turned her attention to Techno who was also looking around, but it seemed like he didn’t care too much. George had sat up now and was also looking around. Unfortunately Nova hadn’t seen him until it was too late. “Over there!” He shouted as Nova shot to her feet and started running. The crashing sounds behind her confirmed her suspicions, Dream chasing her. Before she could make it too far though she heard Techno say something in his monotone voice. “And so the chase begins”

Chapter 6
Nova crashed through the bushes, careful not to make a single mistake with her footing. She knew she had the advantage because she knew the forests better than anyone. Under the old willow. Around the wolf den. And on to the river bank. Nova ran until she came to a bend in the river. She looked around for the old fallen spruce tree that she had usually used as her bridge to the meadow. She couldn’t find it. A giant tree like that couldn’t be swept downstream no matter how strong the current was. A twig snapped and Nova spun on her heels to face the tree line. “What do you want with me!” She screamed. Dream walked out of the bushes to the left and brushed off several leaves and burrs before replying. “Technoblade’s voices weren't wrong, now that I know who you are I need your blood.” Nova was slightly taken aback by this statement. “Of course the voices are right, they almost always are,” Techno said as he walked out of the bushes on the right, he had somehow maneged not to get a singe leave or twig on him. Now if Nova had to run she would have to run directly in between them. “Take my blood, what the he- and how do you know me?” She rambled. “I don’t even know myself” Dream just shook his head and said, “There's so much you’ll never understand” What did he mean? What did he know that Nova didn’t? Actually he probably knew a lot of things. “Just tell me!” Nova yelled. “If i’m going to die then there is no point in not telling me, It's not like I would understand it anyway,” Nova fell to her knees as her vision clouded over with fresh tears, no she would not cry in front of strangers. “I don't remember anything about my past,” She said in a broken voice “I wouldn't be able to say if it whatever you speak of is true or not” If Dream felt any sympathy for her, he didn’t let it show. “To bad for you I guess” Dream moved forward towards Nova with his axe, Nightmare in hand. No! This was not happening again. She would not let Dream win without a fight. I have to wait for the perfect time, she thought. She knew she wasn't strong enough to win against him but she knew she was faster. If she could get past him and into the woods she might be able to get away. She would have to run as fast as she could to get to her camp. She would then quickly search for her stuff and then get out of there. Dream was now only a few blocks away from her. Nova readied herself for the run. Once Dream got only a few steps away Nova shot onto her feet and darted around Dream. “What the hell!” He yelled. He swung his axe at her but she ducked under the blade. Nova ran around Dream and off to the left where she leapt into the woods and rushed to the camp. Before she could make it too far though she heard a sharp whistle. Nova clutched her ears as the whistle went on for about ten seconds. Nova glanced behind her to see what it had come from and saw that Techno had taken a shiny silver pipe out and was now taking it away from his mouth. What was that? Nova wondered. Suddenly a barrage of barks and howls erupted around Nova. It had been a dog whistle! About twenty dogs came out of the bushes. They herded Nova until her back was up against a tall birch tree.

Now Nova was really trapped.

Chapter 7
Nova let reality set in, and looked up at the tree that she was backed up to. There were no branches low enough that she could see, so climbing the tree wasn’t an option. Not to mention the fact that there was a crossbow bolt impaled in Nova’s shoulder. The pain had faded into a dull ache in the background but adrenaline had probably helped with that. Dream jogged towards Nova as Techno slowly walked forward. Nova doubted that she could out run the dogs but that was looking like the best option. “Techno’s dogs are specially trained to hunt and kill,” Dream warned, as if reading her mind. “I wouldn't recommend running” “You're just going to kill me anyway,” Nova shrugged. “Either way I die” Techno had finally made it over to them. “Good dogs,” He said with a nod. “You know what else a dog can be called” Nova asked with a smirk, even facing death she wasn’t going to let an opportunity to annoy someone go by. “Bitches” Techno rolled his eyes and looked at Dream. “She is just like Tommy” Dream nodded in agreement. Techno called the dogs off with a loud whistle that hurt Nova’s ears. They slowly backed away from Nova with several growls and disappeared back into the bushes. Nova let out the breath she had been holding in. The immediate threat was no longer there anymore. “Well, what are we going to do with you?” Dream said, the sarcasticness was plain in his voice. Nova shrugged. She was out of breath. “How about we make sure you can’t run again” He said with a smirk. Dream walked forward and took a rope out of his satchel. “I hope you’re ok with water because my satchel fell in the river while we were walking and everything got wet.” Nova’s heartbeat sped up. She did NOT want to get wet. “Hands” He ordered. Nova glared at him, “Say the magic word” She said. “Give me your hands or I will kill you” He replied. Nova huffed and reluctantly held her hands out. Dream threw the rope around one of the higher tree branches and then tightly wrapped the other side of the rope around Novas wrists. This forced her arms above her head and didn’t really give her any options for moving. The rope burned her skin and Nova knew that it was a matter of time before it started blistering and bleeding. Dream backed up to admire his “handy work” when he noticed her discomfort and smiled. “Not a big fan of water?” Nova grumbled and glanced up at her wrists, which felt like she had stuck them in a lava pool. A small drop of a thick reddish liquid was making its way down her arm. Blood. Nova gave Dream a withering look. If she got out of this alive, Dream was going to get it.

Chapter 8
Technoblade put his hand on Dream's shoulder, causing him to jump and swiped at his face with a knife that he had pulled from his belt. There's no way that he can stop that, Nova thought. But Techno’s hands moved so fast Nova could barely see them but in an instant the knife had flown out of Dream’s hands and impaled itself in the tree right above Nova’s head. “Holy shit!” Nova shrieked as she looked up. The wicked sharp blade was only an inch above her head and had gone straight in between her arms. “That could have killed me!” “Eh, nobody here would have been sad about it” Techno said, his monotone voice sounded dead sirius but Nova could see a teasing look in his eyes. “Besides, if I wanted you dead you would already be dead.” Dream gave Techno a curious look. “You don’t want her dead?” He said skeptically. Techno sighed. “No, not necessarily.” Techno walked forward to Nova and stood right in front of her. “I personally think that the girl is hiding something.” Nova looked directly at where the eyes of the pig would have been on the skull mask. Technoblade scared her even more than Dream did but once again, she did not want to seem weak so she kept his gaze until he looked away. With one swift swipe he plucked the knife out of the tree, his arm brushing Nova’s for a second, and held it up to his face. “This is a pretty nice knife Dream.” He said, still facing Nova. “Netherite if i’m not mistaken” Dream nodded. “Yeah it is,” he said smoothly, as if it was something to brag about. “I have a few of them” “Interesting” Techno replied, he sounded like he didn’t care. “As I was saying, I think she is hiding something. Now, whether or not that something is important to us I haven't decided.” “What are you proposing?” Dream questioned. “I think that it might be best for us to take her as an, ah, prisoner” Nova flinched. She had heard that word before, she just couldn’t remember when. “You do know I'm right here right?” She asked. They both ignored her. Dream smiled. “You want to take a little girl we found in the woods who just happens to be able to use a knife very well as a hostage?” “Hey, who are you calling little, I'm taller than you!” Nova complained. Once again they acted like they couldn't hear her. “Well when you put it that way it doesn’t sound very cool but yes, we would take her as a captive.” Techno sighed. He walked away from Nova and over to Dream. Nova’s heartbeat was increasing now. She did not want to become a prisoner. Maybe she could pull herself up and wrap the rope holding her hands around her neck. “And what would we do then?” Dream asked. “Torturing someone doesn’t seem like something you would do Techno.” Nova tried to wrap the rope around her neck but it was no use. The rope was too tight. She would have to lift herself up. “I’ll admit I prefer not to use maltreatment but I will do what I must.” Techno replied. It took all of Nova’s arm strength to lift herself up and proceed to wrap the rope around her neck. She then let her arms go limp and hung there. Technoblade and Dream were still talking abou what to do with her. The rope hurt her neck and the fact that it was damp made it even worse. Soon Nova’s lungs were screaming for air and she tried to yell or to get her two captor's attention but no sound came out of her mouth. Her hands were too weak to undo the rope. She definitely regretted it. “H-help” She managed to rasp. But either they didn’t hear her or chose to ignore her. Nova’s eyes were starting to droop now. She could feel the life leaving her body. All of the sounds around her started to fade out until there was only a quiet buzz in the background. All around her the trees came into perfect focus. It was beautiful. Maybe she didn’t regret it. Suddenly everything snapped back to reality. The rope broke and Nova fell onto the ground gasping for air.

Chapter 9
No! She had been so close! “What the heck kid” Techno kid. He had walked over to her. Nova tried to shrink away from him but ended up just coughing. “I don’t” Nova tried to say that she didn’t want to go, but she couldn’t make her voice work. She lifted one of her arms to her neck. It hurt so bad. When she took her hand away from her neck she saw that her hand was covered in dark red blood. Technoblade had taken a small glass vial full of a light red liquid out from the folds of his red coat. He kneeled down and held the vial to her mouth. “Drink” He ordered. Nova tried to resist it but her body betrayed her and she opened her mouth. Techno poured the warm liquid down her throat and it immediately made her feel better. Nova’s heart beat returned to the normal rhythm and the pain in her neck faded into a dull ache. Techno took the vial away from her mouth and put it back into his coat. “I think that settles it.” He said standing up. He turned towards Dream. “She’s hiding something” Dream nodded, he looked fairly calm considering the fact that Nova had almost died. “I suppose you are most likely right,” He said, he thought for a bit. “But i will be sending one of my mercenaries to check on you every couple of days” “Fair enough” Techno nodded. “See you soon old friend” Dream said. “Farewell” Techno replied. Dream walked back into the bushes and headed off to find George and Sapnap. Techno sighed once he decided that Dream was out of hearing distance. “Your welcome” Nova slowly sat up. “What do you mean your welcome?!?” She cried. “You are literally taking me hostage” Techno sighed again. “I saved your life, twice, in a way.” “Twice?” “Well I'm saving your life by taking you hostage” He said. “Also I threw the knife that cut the rope when you were trying to, uh, comit suicide” Nova looked over at the ground where she had been and saw that a gleaming black knife was on the ground. “My dagger” She said, surprised! “It is yours” Techno confirmed. “That's what i thought, even Dream doesn’t have any obsidian tools” “Oh” Nova was kind of confused. Had he really saved her life? Or just delayed her demise? “Can you walk?” Techno asked, as he walked over to her. “Uhh maybe” Nova tried to get up using the tree but the moment she let go her legs collapsed beneath her and she fell to the ground. “I will take that as a no,” Techno chuckled. He bent over and, despite Nova being a few inches taller than him, scooped her up and threw her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Nova let out a short shriek but let herself go limp in Techno’s arms. He smelled of freshly chopped wood and something else that Nova couldn’t quite place. She didn’t mind, it was nice being with someone after all the time she had been alone. She hadn’t been with anyone sense- A sharp pulse of pain went through her head. “Agh” She cried, rubbing her temples but the headache went away as quickly as it had come. “You good?” Technoblade asked. “I-I’m fine, my head just hurts,” Nova replied shakily. Techno nodded. “You need rest, feel free to fall asleep on the way back” Nova had originally doubted that she would be able to sleep but the moment Techno said ‘rest’ her body betrayed her and eyes started to droop. “Maybe a little bit-” And Nova drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 10
When Nova woke up she was laying in a large four poster bed in a big room. She sat up slowly and a quick flash of pain went through her shoulder. She noticed that her normal green tank top and ripped jeans had been replaced by a yellow turtleneck sweater and a pair of black sweatpants. She looked around her and saw that the room was painted with a blinding white. There was a blue rug on the floor but other than that, everything was white. The room was lit by a single lantern hanging from the ceiling. Nova slowly got out of bed and let her bare feet touch the rug. It was the softest thing Nova had ever touched. She walked over to the door and opened it slowly. She walked down the long narrow hallway until she came to a room. Nova peeked into the room and saw that Technoblade was sitting on a couch with his back to her. He had shedded his large, royal looking gown and instead had dawned a bright white shirt with puffy sleeves. Across from him was a pretty lady with shoulder length light pink hair. Not quite the same as Techno’s. She was wearing a black and white sweater with a bright purple scarf. She was fairly short and had a petite build. “I have her clothes” She was saying. She had a high, sweet voice. “The ones you asked for.” “Good she is going to need them,” Techno replied. “For what” Nova burst out, making the lady jump. She walked into the room and sat down on the couch next to Technoblade without even glancing at him. “For what?” She repeated, “Also who are you?” Techno took a deep breath. “Uhh, you know we don’t know your name right?” Had she really not told them? “Oh, uh, it’s Nova” “N-nova?” The lady gasped. “But he said you died!” Nova glanced up at Techno for guidance and was surprised when she saw that he did not have his pig skull mask on. He had a scared, handsome face with dark amber eyes. In a way he looked both older and younger than Nova had imagined him. Techno looked back at her, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. “I’m afraid I have no idea what she’s talking about,” Nova took a deep breath. “Ok, who are you, how do you know me, and why am i supposed to be dead?” The lady looked like she had seen a ghost but managed to regain her composure. “Nova it’s me, Niki.” She said softly. “We used to play together all the time when we were younger.” Nova shook her head, “Are you sure? there has to be a mixup. I can't be who you're talking about, I would remember” Nova paused. Would she remember though? Nova tried to think back through the years but all she could remember was woods. “It was me, you, and a few other friends.” Niki continued. “We would play by the creek, we used to have pretend sword fights with branches we found in the forest.” She smiled and got a far away look in her eyes. “You and Clay would always be the last ones standing.” “Clay?” Techno questioned, his eyes narrowing. “As in Dream” Niki nodded slowly. “Yes, Clay as in Dream” “Hold up,” Nova cut in, trying to hold back a smirk. “Dream’s real name is Clay?” Both Techno and Niki nodded. “Honestly I would have changed my name if my name was Clay also” Nova snickered. Niki let out a small laugh and even Techno smiled a little. “I suppose it isn’t the best name,” Techno admitted. “Sorry Niki, go on,” Nova said. “Well you and Clay would always be the last one standing, and the rest of us would make a circle around you two when you fought.” Niki laughed. “I remember the first time you fought Dream, we were all surprised when you managed to disarm him. After all you were the youngest out of all of us.” “I was the youngest?” Nova repeated, she didn’t remember her age. “Yeah, at the time you were seven and I was eight. I think Clay was 13” “She beat Dream when he was six years older than her?” Techno burst out, a hint of amazement in his voice. “She disarmed him, he still managed to win by tripping her and then running to get his sword.” Niki finished. Nova thought for a little bit. If she had been able to disarm Dream when she was seven couldn’t she now? “That's why Dream was so taken back when I said my name, he remembered me” She realized. “I didn’t remember him” Techno sighed “I wonder if Ranboo will be able to help” Nova looked at Techno curiously “Who’s that?” “Ranboo is one of my many friends” He stated. He said it like it should be obvious. “Come on Techy we all know that you don’t have very many friends” Said a new, scratchy voice. Nova spun around, almost as quickly as Technoblade did, and saw that another man had walked into the room. He was fairly short compared to Nova and his golden hair was covered by a green and white bucket hat. He was wearing a green robe with sweatpants and a long sleeve shirt. “Philza, you're not supposed to be out of bed!” Niki exclaimed. “You're still too weak, Phil,” Techno said, standing up. Phil narrowed his emerald green eyes. “Well it would be rude for me to not welcome a guest.” He slowly walked over to Nova. “Nova, it’s nice to meet you” Nova widened her eyes, why did he know her name? “I heard your entire conversation, that's why I know your name.” He said as if reading her mind. “How did you-” Nova started. But Techno cut in.“No offense but it doesn’t matter, Phil you're supposed to stay in bed rest until you heal completely” Phil sighed. “I don’t think I will ever heal completely Techy” He sounded sad. “So how about I do what I can to help,” Techno started to say something but Niki cut in. “Techno, I think we should listen to Phil.” She said. Techno huffed, seeing that he was outnumbered. “Fine, what is it you must do Phil” “I want to hear her story,” Phil said. “Not your point of vision Techy, hers.” “What, do you not trust me?” Techno said, a hint of challenge in his voice. Phil shook his head. “No I trust you too much. I want to hear what she was thinking throughout the entire thing.” Techno, Niki, and Phil, all looked at Nova and she took it as her cue to start talking. “Well it started with me going to get water…”

Chapter 11
“...and now I'm here,” Nova finished. Techno and Niki had gone into the kitchen to start making dinner but Philza had stayed at Nova’s side and listened to every word of her story. He stayed silent the whole time and didn’t ask any questions until she was done. “You got flashbacks when the water touched you?” Phil questioned. “And you don’t remember much of your past?” Nova nodded, “I don’t remember anything except trees.” Phil studied her with his emerald green eyes. “What are you thinking Phil?” Techno asked Phil from the kitchen. “You have that ‘Everyone quiet down I’m thinking’ look” “I don’t know what you're talking about” Phil said defiantly. Still not taking his eyes off of Nova. “I have no such look.” “Please, your eyebrows scrunch up a bit and you bite your tongue” Techno shot back. “You also tend to stare at the thing you are thinking about” This time Phil looked at Techno. “Fine maybe I do” “So what are you thinking about?” Techno asked again. This time Phil gave an answer. “To be honest I’m thinking about Ranboo” Phil said in a quiet voice. “Actually I’ve been thinking about him also” Niki piped up as she cut some potatoes into small slices. “She has a lot in common with him” Nova looked back and forth between the three. Who was Ranboo and what did he have in common with her? Phil nodded. “I think that we should have Ranboo talk to her” “Uhh guys, you know i’m still here right?” Nova cut in. “Who is Ranboo?” Phil and Techno had a quick silent staring contest. Techno won and Phil sighed. “Ranboo is an old friend of ours,” Phil said quickly. “He has some, ah, memory issues also.” Nova nodded. It sounded like this guy might be able to help. “Unfortunately he is currently in Snowchester visiting Tubbo and Michael” Techno said, he put some cut up vegetables and potatoes into a pot and put it over the fireplace. “Who is Tubbo?” Nova asked. She wondered how many people she would hear about. “Tubbo is the founder of Snowchester, which is a country south of us,” Niki said. “Michael is his and Ranboo’s adopted son.” “Huh” Nova thought about this for a moment. “When will Ranboo be back?” “We aren't really sure” Techno responded. “But he should be back in the next couple of days.” Nova nodded. Maybe Ranboo could help her with her memories, but did she really want to remember, what if she had done something super bad? “Foods ready” Niki called, interrupting Nova’s thoughts. Nova and Phil got up and walked over to the dining table. Nova noticed that Phil had flinched when he stood up. Maybe it was the injury that Techno had told Dream about. Nova sat down and Niki set a bowl of soup infront of her. The amazing smell hit Nova’s nose and she perked up a bit. In the woods Nova’s senses had been enhanced. She could see things from far away very well. She could hear things that most people would not be able to. Her nose had also been enhanced. Nova took a deep breath in through her nose. “Potatoes, carrots, and steak” She listed. “Pardon” Techno looked at her confused. “That’s what is in the soup right?” Niki nodded. “Yeah how did you know” “I can smell it” Nova looked at the food that had been set in front of her. “Hang on, you can smell what was in the soup?” Phil said. He sounded surprised. “Without looking at it?” “Y-yeah” Nova nodded. “I can also see very well and hear things pretty well” “Prove it?” Techno challenged. There was a hint of childness in his voice. “Well, you have about fifty dogs outside in a shelter, you have both a potato farm and a carrot farm, and there is also a fly over there on that chair.” Nova said without hesitation. Techno looked at her incredulously. “Bruuhhhh” Phil just laughed and sat down next to Nova. “Well I guess you just keep surprising us” Nova laughed as well and felt something disappear from her stomach. It felt good to tell someone else about all of the stuff she’s gone through. Nova looked at each of her new friends. Niki with her soft smile, Phil with his fatherlike personality, and finally Techno with his red eyes and boldness. Nova felt happier than she had ever felt. She felt safe. She felt strong. She felt like she had found a family.

Chapter 12
After dinner Nova had been very tired and had said “Goodnight” to Niki, Phil, and Techno and wandered back to the bedroom she had woken up in. She hopped onto the large four-poster bed causing a flash of pain to go through her shoulder. She slowly layed down and pulled the blanket up to her chin. She couldn’t remember the last time she had been this comfortable. Then again she couldn’t remember much anyway. She closed her eyes and immediately felt the familiar drowsiness wash over her. Nova drifted off to sleep hoping for a peaceful night with no dreams. Naturally she did not get what she hoped for. Nova opened her eyes and found herself back in the forest. She looked around and immediately recognized the spot. This was what her camp looked like before she had set it up. She felt a hand on her shoulder and jumped. Taking one of her obsidian knives out of its holster and turning around in one fluent motion. She swept the person's legs out from under them and stood over them when they landed on their back. “Calm down Nova, it's just me” The boy said. Nova’s eyes focused on the blond boy and she realized she recognized him. “Oh my gosh i’m so sorry Clay” Nova put her knife back into the holster and held her arm out to help him up but he took hold of it and yanked her onto the ground. “Clay what the heck!” Nova yelped right before she landed face first into some mud. She immediately sat up spitting the mud out of her mouth. She heard Clay wheezing and spun around to see him clutching his stomach from laughing. “It’s not funny!” Nova squealed but she couldn’t help smiling a little bit. Clay looked at her still wheezing. “The look on your face was priceless,” He said. Nova tried to hold back a laugh and failed. “Ok maybe it was a little funny, but still it wasn't nice” Clay looked again at Nova with an expression of mock seriousness, his dark green eyes fixed on Nova’s duo colored (idk what you call someone's eyes who are two different colors) ones. . “Nova when have I ever been nice” Nova knew it was a joke but still something about the way he had said it made her stomach cramp a bit. “I-I mean there is that one time that you rescued me from those zombies, or the time you helped me get out of the spider webs near the creek, or-” “Allright allright i get it,” Clay rolled his eyes. “It was a joke, Nova. But to get to business, are you sure you want to do this? You know you don’t have to” Nova sighed, she really didn’t want to have this talk again. “Clay, I do have to do it. It's for your safety, and Niki’s and Puffy’s and everyone else.” “Nova you're not a monster” Clay’s voice was slowly turning desperate. “We could find a way to-” “Stop Clay! Nova shouted, Clay flinched when she raised her voice.“I am a monster, in fact i should have left sooner, he would still be here if i had” She said in a whisper. “Nova it wasn’t your fault” Clay tried to argue with her, but it was useless. “It was my fault, and I won't let it happen again” Nova took a small vial out of her jean pockets. “After I drink this I won’t remember anything” “Anything? But Nova-” Dream stopped at Nova’s glare. “Clay you have to promise me that you, or anybody else, ever come looking for me, no matter how much you want to” Nova rambled. “Do you promise me?” Clay mumbled something, clearly terrified by how aggressive Nova had gotten. “Do you promise me?” “I promise,” Clay said quietly. “I’m gonna miss you Nova, we all are” Nova smiled. “I won’t miss you though, you will all be a dream” “A dream” Clay repeated, softly. Nova took the vial and uncorked it. “I hope we can see each other again someday, after all you are one of my best friends” Dream murmured. “And I hope the exact opposite.” Nova replied. And without any other thought, she brought the vial to her mouth and swallowed the cold silvery liquid inside of it. That is when everything went black. Nova woke up screaming which surprised her because she had no memory of doing that in her dream. Nova saw the door open and Technoburst burst into the room. Techno had his sword in his hand and looked around as if expecting someone to start attacking him. “What happened, where are they?” He said, his words slightly slurred due to sleepiness. “It was just a nightmare, I'm sorry I woke you up.” Techno slowly let down his guard and set his sword against the wall so he could sit on the bed next to Nova. “Oh, do you want to talk about it?” His voice was surprisingly soft. Nova shook her head, she wasn’t ready to talk about it, not yet. “Ok is there anything I can do to help you?” Techno tried again. Nova thought a bit. “Can you tell me a story?” Techno chuckled, “I haven't told a story in a long time, what do you want it to be about?” “Surprise me” Nova replied. Techno thought for a moment. “Once there was a man named Wilbur, his only goal was to build a nation, this nation was called L’manburg…”

Chapter 13
Nova had fallen asleep quickly after listening to the tale of L’manburg. Techno’s monotone voice had been surprisingly soothing while telling the story. Nova woke up to several dogs barking. She shuddered, remembering what had happened in the woods. She slowly got out of bed, opened the door, and walked down the hall. She could smell the food before she could see it, which made sense with her enhanced senses and all. Nova walked into the kitchen and saw that Niki had made a few dozen muffins. “Guten morgen Nova!” Niki said cheerfully. Nova gave her a questioning look. “What does that mean?” Niki smiled, “it means good morning, its in German” Nova tilted her head slightly to the side. “German?” “My native language,” Niki replied. “Oh” Nova thought about this. “Do you think you could teach me sometime?” Niki’s smile somehow got even bigger. “Of course! It would be nice to have someone else who spoke German” At this moment Technoblade walked into the room. “Now what is this about German?” He asked. He looked tired and Nova wondered how late he had stayed up for her. Hopefully not too late. “Niki’s gonna teach me how to speak German, '' Nova said excitedly. Techno chuckled. “You know that's going to take you quite a bit of time” Nova nodded. She wondered if she had known any other languages when she was younger. Techno walked over to the table and snatched a muffin off of the plate they had been set on. He took a large bite and chewed thoughtfully. “These are actually pretty good Niki” He said, his mouth was full so it sounded like he said: “Ths are actly pty gud” Nova and Niki laughed. “What did you think they wouldn’t be?” Niki teased. Nova reached out her arm to grab a muffin then winced. Clearly her shoulder hadn’t healed quite yet. She quickly put her arm down and reached out with her other arm, hoping nobody would notice. She didn’t want them to waste their supplies on her. Naturally Techno immediately noticed and gave her a worried look. “We should take a look at your arm, it could be infected.” Nova scowled. “Its fine, it doesn’t hurt” Techno glanced at her skepticly. “Really, come here.” Nova sighed and set down her muffin. She got up and walked over to Techno. She was about an inch taller than him but still he made her feel small. He sized her up and then stepped back a bit. “Raise your arm as high as possible” He ordered. Nova went to raise her left arm. “Nah” Techno said, “Other arm” Nova scowled even more and put her left arm down. She then slowly and painfully raised her right arm. She only got about a quarter way up when her arm fell back down to her side from the strain. Nova glanced at Techno who was giving her a pointed look. “Ok fine, maybe it hurts a little” She grumbled. “A little?” Techno asked. “Ok a lot but still, you shouldn’t waste your materials on me” Nova pointed out. At this moment Niki decided to chime in on the discussion. “Let me look at it and we can decide if it needs anything” Nova looked at Niki, “Fiiiiiine” Techno left the room to find some bandages in case they needed it while Niki brought Nova over to the couch to check out her shoulder. Nova winced in pain and looked away as Niki dabbed a napkin in the wound. “Is it bad?” Nova asked. Niki paused before answering. “It’s not looking the best.” She finally admitted. Techno came into the room with some bandages and antiseptics. He gave the antiseptics to Niki along with a cloth. “This might sting a bit” She warned Nova. Nova braced herself a bit. Niki touched the cloth to her shoulder. Nova bit down on her lip hard. “Holy fuck” She said under her breath. I definitely stung. While Niki was cleaning the wound Techno came up beside her and grabbed her left hand. He knelt down and whispered to Nova, “Squeeze my hand if it hurts” Nova nodded. “Alright,” Niki said. “There is good new and bad news” “What's the good news?” Techno asked, he was still holding Nova’s hand. “The good news is the wound doesn’t seem infected and I don't think there was any poison.” Niki said. “And the bad news?” Nova asked. “The bad news is the tip of the bolt must have broken off whenever the bolt fell out.” Niki bit her lip. Nova sucked in a breath. “What does that mean?” Techno asked. He sounded super worried. “It means we will have to take it out, or there is a possibility Nova here, could die”
