When I woke up I noticed a lock on the window and a blanket draped over me

I was still under the bed

I crawled under more taking the blanket with me

"Ash are you up?" Techno asked

I didn't answer as he came up and checked the window to make sure it's still locked then came over to the bed

I turn my head away from the outside as he lays down on the ground to look under the and bed

"Ash" techno said as I stayed still

"I know your awake no one breaths that fast asleep" he said

"Maybe I do" I say as I blow my cover

"Note taken, get out from under the bed" techno said

"No" I say as he stands up and lifts the whole bed up with one arm

"I will pick you up" he said

"I want to stay here"I say as he reaches with his other hand and grabs my arm and gently slides me out

When he's putting the bed down I set my foot on his foot and push off so I slide under the bed

"Really" he said grabbing my foot before I could yank it back

"Noooo I want to stay!" I yell as he picks me
up

I stop my whining as soon as I feel the neither warmth from off his body

"Not so whiny now" Techno said as he drapes the blanket over me

"Shut up or I will punch you" I say as he goes to the ladder and jumps down landing quietly and softly

He walks around as I put my face into his arm

"Aweeeeeee" Tommy said in piglin- he wanted me to hear it

I slowed down my breathing

"She's asleep" techno said as I speed up my breathing for a second to let him know I'm not

"Technoooo how do say kcirp in piglin" Tommy asked saying English in the middle of his sentence

"I'm not telling you" techno said

I move my head and look to Tommy as he look at me

"I thought you were-"

"I was going to tell you how to say it but I realized I don't know what is it.." I say as he laughs

"Techno how old were you when you started producing your own body heat" I say

"Around...21?" He said

"That's so long away" I whine as Tommy look at me

"How old are you again" Tommy asked

"16-"

"In piglin, human world your probably...13 maybe 12"

"I am not a child!" I say as Tommy laughs

"I'm older then you baby" Tommy says as I flip him off, techno instantly grabs my hand

"Where'd you learn that" he asked

"ymmoT" I say as techno looks at Tommy and talks to him

"Don't kill him" I say

"You understood me?" Techno said

"We'll...Tommy teach her kill...I just put two and two together" I say as he sets me down

I go over to Tommy and hugs him as I feel heat come off his body- not as much as techno tho but enough

"Haha she picked me over you" Tommy said  as he picked me up

"She'll go-" techno started in piglin before realizing he's specking piglin and switches to English

Tommy starts to play with my hair as i hugs onto him

"Have you met Micheal" Tommy asked

"With Tubbo and Ranboo? Yeah a few times..some better some worse" I say

"We'll Micheal goes to an English school max he's actually younger then you but you'd still be in the same grade-"

"No" I say cutting him off

"No? Don't you want to learn"

"loohcS oN" I say as Tommy looks at me probably not expecting English
*no school*

"Yes school" Tommy said as techno came up and picks me up out of Tommy grasp

"Tom you have stuff to do"

"Come on man she's warmmm" Tommy whines as I giggle a bit

"Go" techno says as he sets me down

I go to my room and grab the books which were all over the floor from... you know throwing them

I ran downstairs as I sit at the table- well on top of it as I set the books in front of me

"What are you-" techno started

"I'm going to read to you when you do your..,whatever your doing" I say

"Sounds good"he said as he picked a book and handed it to me

"But it want to read this one" I say holding up a book I read a thousand times

"I know" he said as he started doing whatever he's does

I started reading which sounded pretty good until...until a word called 'hcirtsO' came up
* ostrich*

"?no uoy drow tahw" techno asked as I looks at him like he's crazy
*what word you on?*

"?droW" he asked as I nodded and ran over to him and showed him the word

"That's ostrich" he said in piglin

"What's an Ous-ties" I say as he does his weird chuckling thing

"Ostrich, and there like giant birds with giraffe necks" he said

"Make sure I never meet one.." I say

"They don't live around here, but Smileccl knows how to defeat them if you want to learn" he said as I nod and tan back to the table

"How do you say it in English?" I say as he says some goblin words

"hcirtsO" he repeated

"hcirtsO.." I say as he nods

I continue reading as philza comes downstairs

"?ereh s'ohW" philza said
*who's here?*

"naem uoy od tahW" techno said as Phil looks at me which I just smile
*what do you mean*

"olleH..philza" I say as techno laughs

"azlihP" he says as I copy him

"olleH azlihP!" I say as he smiles

"olleH hsA" he said as I smile and keep reading as philza and techno talk I just quietly read

"See she can read perfect English" Tommy said bursting in

"This is a kids book-"

"So? You'd do great in school" Tommy said as he gets cut off by a book being thrown as his body

"Ash we don't throw things" techno said as I grabbed another one and tried throwing it at techno but instead he catches it

"Do you want time out?" He said in a strict voice

"Shiver me Timbers" I say as I throw another book at Phil who just ignores it and keeps doing whatever he's doing

Techno comes over to me and picks me up but not in a comfortable way in a uncomfortable way...not hurting though

He set me down in a corner

"Really?" I say as he nods

"Just cause I'm a child on earth doesn't mean I need to get treated like one"

"When you act like one you do" he said as I got up from the corner

"Sit or your grounded" he said

"From what?" I say as he looks at me

"Food, the bed, books" he started as I sat down making him shut up

"Can I at least have a book?" I ask

"No, think about what you did"techno said as he went back over to the enchanting table

"There I thought about it now what!" I say as he just ignores me

I sit in a corner like a toddler and rest my elbows on my now folded up legs

After what seemed like days- which was probably only like 4 hours I fell asleep

Techno taped me on the shoulder as I open my eyes to see him

"You can come out now" he said as I didn't move

"You can leave" he repeated

"I know.." I say as I look away from him as he sits next to me

"Want to talk about it?"

"There's nothing to talk about" I say

"Your mood?" He said as i death flared at him and stood up

"I'm going to build a snowman" I say as I start getting on my boots

"You hate the snow" techno said

"New day new me" I say as I set on one of technos old capes which I use took off and put on a random red hoodie with white sleeves and pockets- it also had a flag stitched into the back

I put it on as it's big in me as I go outside and close the door

I see trees and go running for it as I see the fence

I ran to the corner of the fence cause if I leave it alerts philza and I didn't want him to come out just to see me

At least that's what techno said

Once I got to the corner I curled up in a ball as started crying- for what I don't know I just hated being treated like a child

I heard someone walking in snow as I look over to see techno looking at the ground then back up- he was following my footsteps

I ran to a hiding spot and jumped to a few differnt things behind the house as I see techno noticing my plan as he looked up

I curled into the chest- lucky I'm flexible but my head was sticking out a bit but he won't notice

I enjoy the slight warms from the box as I start to drift to sleep

"Come on little one it's cold" techno said as he picked me up as if I was sleeping

I kept my breathing slow as I can

Once we get inside Tommy runs up to us

"wwwA" Tommy said as my boot became untied and taken off

I felt techno start to climb the ladder but didn't and set me down on the couch

Tommy came over to me and sat down above me allowing him to cuddle into me and play with my hair
