<-Lily's POV->

I paced back and forth in FriskDragon's living room, wondering why the hell she called us here at 8 in the morning. Draco was on the couch, half-asleep. She was trying her best to stay awake, but it was obvious she isn't a morning person.

Suddenly, FriskDragon appeared in the living room with a boy. He was short and had extremely pale skin. So pale, it was white. He wore a black jacket with long pants and had a cat plushie around his neck.

"About time you got here!" Draco said, standing up and wiping her eyes. "Why the hell did you call us here at 8 in the morning?"

"And who the hell is he?" I said, pointing at the boy.

"I have a name!" he said. "It's Jamisans*."

"And anyway, I called you guys here because I have something very important to talk about with you guys," FriskDragon said.

"Well, spill, I don't have all day," Leka said.

"Shush, Leka," I thought to her.

"I'm sorry I'm bored and I wanna go bug your brothers," she said.

"Anyways," FriskDragon said. "Jamisans and I were trying to figure out what was going on with L and we found out something very interesting. Since Jamisans also has the same problems, he connected his actions to theirs and we learned they have Nightmares. Creatures that take the forms of fears they have about people close to them. For example, us three. Remember when they ran out of my house? It's because they saw Nightmare versions of us."

"Interesting," I said.

"But then, we learned something terrifying. In the middle of our conversation, FriskDragon's soul suddenly changed to L's," Jamisans continued. "It hasn't changed back yet, so you should show them, FriskDragon."

FriskDragon nodded. She used the spell to summon her soul, and instead of white magic surrounding her, like I saw when she first did it, it was red and gray magic. Suddenly, when FriskDragon opened her palm, the familiar upside-down rainbow soul was replaced with a half gray, half red soul. The bottom half had a purple outline around it. Draco and I gasped.

"Is that L's soul?" I asked.

"Yes, it is," FriskDragon said. "They're losing their Determination and Perseverance. It's normally something that can happen when you fight Fear, another soul trait I've seen. I haven't really focused my studies on that soul, but it could be important. Back on the topic, because of the fears from the Nightmares, L is losing their Determination and Perseverance. Which is bad, because there is a chance of them becoming emotionless."

"Which isn't good," Draco said. "I've experienced being emotionless before and it's terrible. You feel nothing and all the pain is replaced with the feeling of nothing."

"What do we do then?" I asked. "Look, they lost more Determination and Perseverance!"

The soul in FriskDragon's hand turned even more gray.

"We need to alert L's siblings," FriskDragon said, closing her hand. "One of us will go and tell them. Try and be careful of their parents."

"I'll go," I said. "I'm the most human out of all of us, so it would be better if I went."

"Alright then," Jamisans said. "Be careful."

"I will, I'm always careful."

I made my way to the door and tripped over my foot. I managed to catch myself and my face turned slightly red in embarrassment. I put my sweatshirt on and teleported to L's house. I looked at it and saw how similar it looked to my house. My old house, before I got out of that hell hole.

I looked through the windows and saw three rooms. One was a big room with a couch and a TV. One had a bunk bed and it looked rather nice than normal. I saw L sitting on the bottom bunk. One had another bunk bed and it was very messy. There were two boys in there talking about something and another girl who was talking to them.

Okay, the first room is the living room, the second room is L's room, and the third room is A and J's room. So why is K in there?

I teleported into A and J's room and realized why she was in there. She was trying to get them to clean up their room.

"It's really not that hard to pick up all of this and put it in a place out of the way!" K said.

"Easy for you to say!" A said. "You have a smaller room than we do!"

J looked over and saw me. "Hello, Lily! How are you? And why are you here?"

A and K looked over and saw me. A waved and K looked a little freaked out. "Who the frick are you?!" she said.

"I'm Lily, one of L's OCs. And to answer your questions, J, I am doing well, and I have to tell you three about something," I said. "It's about L."

"What about them?" K said.

"Have they ever mentioned seeing something out of the ordinary or acted really different from normal?" I asked.

"Well, now that you mention it," A said, "recently, they mentioned seeing a figure right there," he pointed by one of his bookshelves.

"They also have seemed very tired, more so than normal," J piped up.

"And they seem so out of it," K added.

"It's because they're dealing with something very dangerous and you need to help them. The Dragon Clan and I will also help, but you guys are their siblings! You should believe what they say and try and help them as much as possible! They're losing their Determination and Perseverance because of this!"

"What?!" they all said.

"Their soul was mostly gray with some red and purple on it last time I saw it," I said. "They could become emotionless and we need to check on them right now! While we still can!"

They nodded and we exited the boys' room. K pushed her door open more so we could see inside and we saw L standing by the window, looking outside. It was raining pretty hard. We all walked in.

"Heya, L," I said. "Long time no see. How are you feeling?"

There was a moment of silence. I asked them again, "I said, how are you feeling?"

"...Nothing."

"What?"

L turned to face us and I gasped along with A, J, and K. Their hazel eyes were dull and empty. I checked their soul to see it completely gray. We were too late.

"I feel nothing..."

*Jamisans does not belong to me. He belongs to my brother, J, who is giving me permission to put Jamisans into my story. Again, Jamisans belongs to J.
