Runaway

Chapter 6- Capture

     "Thank God we got him. I was afraid he would actually get away." George that angel said. Here was Phil, tied to the back of a horse, with that Dream guy guiding it. The other two had their own horses.

       The voices woke him up, as he discovered his situation. He got, captured. Phil wiggled in the restraints, trying to break loose. But it was too tightly bound. Dream looked behind him,
"Looks like hes awake." He gave a small wave, practically mocking him.
        "Let me go!" Phil snapped, still struggling in the ropes. He hadn't ment to get captured, all he wanted to was get away. Leave his friends and get them out of danger. After all, it's not like Wilbur likes him around anyways.
        "Damn, they weren't kidding about him being aggressive." Sapnap muttered. "Stop struggling, it won't do anything human." He glared at him, before stopping.

      Sadly he was right, maybe it was best to calmly think about an escape plan. Expect for the fact that his heart was practically pounding out of his chest.

      Was this it? Is he about to he thrown back into that horrid lab? Phil started to panic, his eyes darting around for some type of escape. He could go back, he just couldn't! Phil chocked back a sob, trying to focus on getting out.

       "Damn, he's freaked out." Sapnap commented. George scoffed,
       "Of course he is! He escaped for a reason."

       Phil's mind flashed back to the punishments. The way they tied him up, shocked him for minutes until he became paralyzed for an hour. How they would brand him with their stupid logos, or how they would make him stay in the heat room. Or isolation room.

       That's, when the panic and adrenaline set it. Phil's body contorted, as he struggled even harder then before. The ropes burning into his skin, but he didn't care. He just wanted out.

        "LET ME GO!" He screeched butting his head against the horse. Trying to do anything to get out. Dream stopped his horse,
        "Woah! Calm down..." He said, jumping off and going towards him. But like a wild animal, Phil froze and glared at him with wild eyes. "Holy shit... Ummm."
        "Just calm down. We're just taking you back." George reasoned, but they didn't understand. Don't they know how terrible the place is? That was his whole reason for freaking out in the first place!
      "Let. Me. Go." Phil hissed. He tried to seem scary, maybe they would let him go if they got scared enough. In reality, he just wanted to curl up into a ball and cry.

        Why him? Why couldn't these godamn lab workers leave him be. Let him go and just live his life.

       Suddenly, a knife wizzed by, swiftly cutting the ropes. Phils eyes widened in surprise, as he lifted himself up. The other three quickly pulled out their weapon, Sapnap and George scanning the trees.

        Phil hopped off the horse and attempted to get away. Dream grabbed him, puting him into a headlock.
        "Not so fast." Phil withered in his grip before an arrow buried itself into the masked man's shoulder. He quickly released him as Techno, Wilbur, and Tommy came out of the trees. Phil scrambled to them, as George grabbed his leg and tripped him.

      Techno surged forwards, bringing his sword down to Georges arm. Which quickly made him flinch back as Phil ran back to his friends. Wilbur and Tommy stood infront of him protectively, Tommy also holding a sword with Will having a crossbow loaded.

      Dream yanked the arrow out, throwing it to the side and walking up to face the pig.
      "Well well well.... Guess you three came to retrieve the human." Dream muttered, ajusting the mask on his face. "We can't let you do that."

       Dream pulled out a huge axe and swung at Techno. He hit the handle of the axe and directed it away, it slamming down into the ground.

      Sapnap, already off his horse, burst into flames. The fire engulfing him as he ran at Phil. George followed suit, as he flew up and dived down sword ready. Phil grabbed Tommy and pulled him away as Sapnap slammed a inflamed fist into the ground. The embers burning his hand slightly, letting out a small hiss of pain.

      George came from the other side, raising his sword to hit Phil before Tommy pushed ahead and quickly blocked.
       "You do know how to fight, right Phil?" Wilbur asked as he moved besides him, shooting at Sapnap. He nodded. Will grabbed the sword that was on his back and threw it to him, he caught it and pulled it out. Sapnap threw a ball of flame, Phil swung his sword and hit it back to him knocking the fire man down. He had enough experience deflecting ghast's fire balls, Sapnap's were no different.

      Techno and Dream were still at it. But it seemed Techno was winning. Dream huffed, completely out of breath. His axe was way heavier than Technos light sword, allowing him to move quicker. The pig slashed his sword as he blocked it, but his hoofed foot came up and kicked him in the gut. Knocking Dream down onto the floor. He quickly regained himself but it was too late, his sword was at his neck.

       Wilbur and Phil's fight with Sapnap was going well. Phil would smash any fireballs he would send while Will would fire arrows anytime he was too far to reach. The fire mans flames started to die down, as he came to his knees. The flames went away, still licking at his clothes.
      "Fuck..." He muttered, before collapsing from exhaustion.

       Tommy was also holding George down, having already beat him.
       "Looks like you and your team lost." Techno said, a grin upon his face. Dream scowled, taking a quick glance at his friends. Just now noticing that they too were down.
       "What are you three doing? That human is dangerous! That's why were taking him back." George exclaimed before quickly shutting up at Tommy pressed his sword closer to his neck.
        "Shut up you bitch ass angel. That facility you work for is completely inhumane!" Tommy snapped. "Why do you even work for it?"
        "It just a job dude. How else are we suppose to make money?" Sapnap grumbled, still laying down on the ground. Techno rolled his eyes as he swiftly put his sword away.
       "Well then how about you stop chasing us and get a new job. Cause you suck at this one."

      The group had made it back to the inn, but not to stay another night. Seeing as their location is already known.
      "Thanks for saving my skin, you really didn't have to." Phil said, as he packed his clothes into the backpack. Not a pleasant experience to say the least. Something that brought back some old memories that Phil would rather forget.
       "Eh, its no big deal... Your out friend after all." Tommy stated proudly. Phil gave a small smile, before it dropped. "You okay there big man?" He sighed,
       "I mean, yeah. Kinda, I don't know actually." He chuckled. Why did they even come for him? They should've just let him get captured and gone back home. It would have been for the best.
       "Well..." Wilbur hesitated, "just know that I'm sorry about what I said. I still think of you as a friend." Phil perked up, eyes wide.
       "Wait really?" Will laughed,
       "Yeah, I guess I kinda judged too harshly. Its in the past after all." He looked at Phil, who had a huge grin on his face.
       "Thank God! I thought I was done for let me tell you. Being strapped to that horse was terrible! I thought you guys might not even come." He exclaimed, a huge relief coming off of his chest. Now he knew that his friends were... Well, still his friends. Even if he did some shitty things in the past.
       "Please Phil, have more faith." Tommy commented, putting his back pack on.
       "Are you guys done talking? You ready?" Techno asked, already packed and ready. Phil nodded, putting his on too. "Great, next stop is just to the next town. Which is quite a big one, rural too." He pulled out a map, squinting at it. "Oh, Bee valley. How fun." Tommy gasped,
       "Wait! My friend lives there, Tubbo!" He said excitedly. "Can we just stop at his house?"
        "I don't know Tommy..."
       "Pleeaase? I swear he won't tell on us." Phil chuckled,
         "Just let him Techno." The pig sighed, folding up the map.
        "Fine. But don't blame me if this goes wrong." Tommy cheered. The four heading out of the inn. Wilbur walked next to Phil, leaning in next to his ear.
        "I'm calling it, something is gonna go wrong because of this." He pulled out 5 gold coins. "Wanna bet?" He asked, a cheeky grin on his face. Phil smiled,
        "You know I have no money right?" Wilbur frowned,
        "Oh." Thats when he burst out laughing, Wilbur quickly running up to Techno to bet.
