I can't move. I can't run, look away, anything.

My sight is glued to him, as if he is forcing me to do so.

"Sapnap..." I mumble, shaking slightly. "Please..."

"Begging will get you nowhere," George's voice comes from behind me, but Sapnap's gaze still holds me firmly in place. I feel like the victim of that challenge I did, God I wish I could move.

"All it will do is put a smile on our lips." Bad appears at my side, his pure white eyes staring cheekily at me.

"What's happened to you all?" I question desperately, trying to at least break the gaze. "I thought you were my friends."

"We are, silly. We'll always be your friends. Always."

"Until our last moments," George continues, and tears prick my eyes again. "We will forever be bonded with each other."

"Until the very End." Sapnap concludes, breaking his hold of me. I only step to the side, away from Bad, accidentally kicking the torch.

"But... you're all trying to kill me," I say, hoping to gain some leverage to distract and escape. "Friends don't do that. Not to this extent."

"We're well aware, Dream," George answers, a smirk forming. "But let's say we propose... an agreement."

"You stop running," Sapnap continues. "You join us once more, by our side. We'll stop hunting."

"We can destroy the Dragon together," Bad states. "And then... who knows? Maybe we can escape, and kill off anything that will get in our way."

"What do you say to that, Dream?"

I take a moment. They'll stop hunting me if I join them... but, their plans are to kill, well, everything. What did Bad mean by escape? Get to Earth? And... kill everyone on our planet...?

"It's a tempting thought," I quiz. "And, I'd be a lot safer standing with you all than standing against. And I've never been a hunter before..."

"So it's a 'yes'?" George asks, and I smile.

"You know my answer, George?" I retort, before moving fast.

I reach down behind me, grabbing the torch and slicing it against Sapnap's face. As he cries in pain, I stab Bad with the flame before throwing it down George's shirt.

"Eat shit!" I shout, running out the cave and towering straight up as fast as I can jump.
