I and Dream had a love hate relationship, at least for me.

there was this sort of "tradition" every other week where Dream would expect a few feathers from my wings and like once a month, even though i hated it, a flight feather. at first i thought it was ridiculous, giving any feathers to anyone would be a sign of a trusted friendship or, for family, really just a really close bond but i didnt have that with Dream i remember the first couple times he just asked to borrow a feather to write with but eventually he straight up asked for a flight feather, i didnt agree at first but he went on a rant on how we were friends and i had no one else, a bird needed their flock, didnt they?

i eventually cracked and reluctantly gave him one of the flight feathers, purposely a small one, so i could still fly, atleast(even if Dream didn't let me, he didnt want any chance of me leaving.)

the first time it came unwillingly was almost the worst time, after he blew up logstedshire when he found my chest of things. he said i owed him some flight feathers for it. when i rejected it he pulled some flight feathers painfully out and threw them in a fire, i tried fighting back but i was malnourished and weak. as "reward" he was going to give me a "surprise". it didnt make sense, he was all angry the moment before but he was all happy and giddy now, i remember his words "you'll love it" after i calmed down from the initial shock and anger, that was my only friend, afterall.

but anyway when the time came he led me to a desolate area in the forest, not to far from what logstedshire used to be, i was too young and naive to suspect any evils. but when we got to a clearing he insistently told me to lay down, refusing to answer and saying it was a surprise, i should have ran. i should have gone back to L'manburg and told everyone. but i didnt, they all hated me, right?

i layed down and he gently touched a wing, i kept myself from flinching as he felt around, he was my 'friend' afterall, and thats what friends do right?

wrong.

suddenly i felt a sharp and hot pain run down my back, i flinched sharply and tried to get up but he helf me down, pulling out a match, i was terrified.
