Hello welcome to a new chapter.

-----------------------------Mira's P.O.V---------------------------------

Sams heat was engulfing, it felt like standing in the middle of a fire place, but it felt...nice. He pulled me closer, his head resting on the top of my head. The feeling of his arms around me makes my head spin slightly, i didn't realize how much i missed the touch of others until now.

He was tense, i could tell he was afraid he was doing something wrong, and i remembered that i don't even know if he has someone else. I gently pull away from him, missing his heat as soon as i did, he pulled his arms away from me. I want'ed to hug him again, have his heat surround me again. 

 He looked down at me, i glance up at him, a blush set on my face. I prayed that the gods let the darkness hide it, scene i didn't have a mask on to. The silence between us was heavy and awkward, i looked around the room trying to find something to distract us from it. I looked out the window and saw the village below. The windows of the houses lit with lights, i walk over to it, looking down at the village, a scene of davj due setting in.

It was all to familiar, the town and the hug, and the man above it all, partying away. Sam walked over to me standing next to me. I looked at him through his reflection in the window. "im planing on visiting Dream soon.." i say, the words slightly rushed, i don't know why i had the need to tell him, but it felt right.

He turned to look at fully, grabbing my shoulders to, turning me to him. "No Mira. Listen to me, he's not like he was before he got in there. He will not hesitate to use you to get what he wants." he seemed so rushed to tell me, his grip on my shoulders tightening. 

"Like he hasn't done that in the past Sam. I know what he is like but if i'm going to get that book i have to do it this way." my voice is stern i made up my mind a while ago what i was going to do about Dream. And seeing him in the prison is what i need to do. 

Sam bends his head thinking, he looks back at me, his hair falling over his eyes, but he made no move to move it out of the way. "Go with Quackity in the morning, he'll visit him, you can wear armor, the vault is set up with red stone that took me months to fig-"

"No Sam i have to do this, no armor, no weapons, just me and Dream talking." i give him a sympathetic look gently pushing the hair our of his eyes. He lets go of my shoulders his hands falling to his side. He looks at me with pleading eyes, i know he doesn't want me to get hurt i found that out tonight but this was different. 

"Please." he says above a whisper, "im begging you Mira, for your safety, don't go." i close my eyes, taking a deep breath.

"Sam, i have to." i think back to what i promised Tommy all those years ago back when L'manburg still stood.  "I prosmise you Tommy, i will find a way to kill him. I will kill Dream so you don't have to. So you can live."  My old words echo in my head, its one promise i don't dare to break.

I open my eyes to the soft sound of boots walking on the floor, i look to the door where Sam stands next to the door. "Sam? Sam, whats wrong?" i ask walking over to him as he reaches for the door handle. He looks over at me, his eyes seemed to be a darker green than before but i pushed it way due to lighting.

TW: Mentions of Death, and Sam grabbing on to Mira's wrist for a second, idk if that's a Tw i just want to make sure ya'll know what will happen.

He looked at me for a moment more before letting go of the door handle, and walking over to me, his trident in hand. Slight fear sets in my gut, i resisted the urge to back away from him. He grabbed my wrist, holding tightly, i winced slightly at his grip. "Don't you understand..I can't protect you in there Mira.."his voice was deeper, i backed away from him, trying to pry my wrist from his grip.

"S-Sam let go..Sam your grip, it hurts."  Once he heard that he seemed to snap out of it and let go, but neither of us moved.

"I-im sorry..but..I can't let you get hurt, i already let him hurt Tommy, i let him hurt Ranboo...Tommy died in that cell Mira, and it was my fault .I won't let you get killed in there." his voice is strained when he speaks. 

"Sam.." i didn't know that happened, i didn't know Ranboo saw Dream. I didn't know Tommy died in there. i didn't know Sam carried that on his shoulders for Gods know how long.  

"Sam its not your fault what happened in that cell. Its Dream's own fault, what is happening to him is what he started." i take a deep breath processing everything i know. "Please, let me go see him. Sam please." i beg him taking a step to him i hear the pleading in my voice. He holds his head in his hand, leaning on his trident. I feel sympathy of this, he holds the fault for Dreams wrongs in his head. 

I grab his hand from his head gently, to prevent him from pulling at his hair. "Its alright Sam, im not going to die i-" 

"Don't, don't make promises that you can't keep." he looks at me, his eyes back to his normal green. 

"I'm not going to die, i still have two lives left Sam, he can't kill me forever. I promise" i finish my sentence my voice full of sympathy for the hybrid in front of me. He looks over my face, he puts his trident in the holder on his back before pulling me into another hug.

TW ended 

One of his arms wrapped around my waist, the other wrapped around my upper back. I felt his rough hand though the small gap between my shirt and shorts. The feeling making my head spin,i tried to stop it but he pulled me closer, the coolness of his mask pressed against my neck.

The dizziness was overwhelming, leaned myself against him to try to calm my head, my head resting on his shoulder. This hug was different, different that the one from earlier, it was comforting but it made my head spin more then the other, and i couldn't stop it.

His hand on my upper back left my body, leaving the cold room to take its place. I felt his head lift off my neck, the sound of his mask being taken off filled my ear. He clipped the mask to his belt, my face turning red from his actions. He head going back to my neck, i felt his breath on my neck, causing my head to spin more.

"What the fuck is wrong with me?" i think as i felt his hand going back to my back, his warmth replacing the cold. I moved my hand from his chest to his neck, wrapping my arm gently around him. He tightened his grip on me when i did, before relaxing again, letting out a sigh on my neck, sending shivers down my spine. 

"Sam?" he hummed in response, his grip on me releasing slightly. "Is Clay really gone?" apart of me already new the answer, but i needed someone else to tell me the truth not what i think. He sighs, the air escape his lips passing over my neck, causing me to shiver more.

"Yes, hes gone, hes eyes aren't his anymore, his voice is different, he changes based on what he want's."He pulls away to look at me, i don't meet his eyes, looking at the ground. "Mira, you can't bring him back, Clay's dead." his voice is gentle, but its brings tears to my eyes. I've tried to keep myself off this topic ever scene the vault, but i guess I have to face it sooner or later. 

"I miss him, but yet i don't." i walk away from him feeling tears run down my face, i walk over to my bed side stand and pick up the book from it. I hold it in my hands "Did you know the first book i ever heard was this one...Clay read it to me one night when i couldn't sleep.. I was 11, it was the first year at Puffy's house i was still terrified of our parents." i give a airy laugh, as i remember the annoyed expression on his face when i picked up the first book i saw which happened to be the biggest. " Of course i fell asleep before he finished it, but when i woke up i read it, over and over again." 

I hear Sam walk up behind me "You still have it?" 

"No, no Dream burned it when he blew up my house, i was given this one." i say waving the book a little in my hand before setting it down on the stand. "Why choose that to distract myself from this? from Dream?" I turn around to face Sam, I was able to see his features for the first time, his sharp but yet soft jaw line, his  forest green eyes seemed to glow in the dim light. I looked over his features for a moment longer before meeting his eye.

"Why is it so easy to forgive you?" a part of me hated that fact i gave into him so easy, the pain i felt when he left was still there. So why i am talking to him like nothing happened? The fact that we were yelling at each other yesterday makes me more confused. 

"Your just as confused as i am." his voice sounds tired, i know that working at the prison comes with prices, not to mention the fact that hes the warden. I nod thinking before breaking the small silence that formed between us, looking back at the ground

" You should rest expressly if you have to go back to the prison in the morning, i guess i'll see you there."I try to lighten the mood with giving him a smile but it doesn't last long when i see his eyes.  They are already on me, confusion in them i look back at him, my head spinning slightly. He blinks and the confusion is gone from them leaving me to deal with it on my own. 

"Yeah i guess your right." He nods reaching for his mask, but i stop him hugging him one more time his heat surrounding me. I knew the confusing and thought that this would get rid of it. He hugged me back, i pulled away after a moment looking up at him.

"Good night." i give him a small smile, slight heat on my face. He nods putting his mask back on before turning away from me. He reaches the door turning to me. 

"You too, don't" he motions to my scared arm, "ill check on you in the morning" he walks out the door closing it behind him. I sit on my beds edge confusion filling my mind. I remember the confused feeling from earlier, i hold my head in hands trying to clear my head, and unfortunately i do.

"Shit..I wanted to kiss him"
