Chapter 3- "Suspicions.."

Sabre's POV

While I was making dinner I heard Galaxy Steve and Rainbow Steve calling my name. "SABREE! WHERE ARE YOU??" They both yelled almost in unison. "DOWNSTAIRS MAKING DINNER!" I yelled up to them to make them stop yelling. A moment later I watched as they both came running down the stairs and into the kitchen. "Oh thank god your down here.." Rainbow Steve said in relief, as if he had been holding his breath. "What do you mean?" I asked confused.

They better not be talking about what happened about 5-10 minutes ago.. "The both of us had felt some sort of left over energy as if someone were here or something happened. So we wanted to make sure you were ok!" Galaxy Steve explained. I swear I jinxed myself. At least they don't know what it was.. "Well- whatever it was that you guys felt didn't get to me!" I exclaimed trying not to make it look like I was lying. Ya know- people have told me I was a good liar. Whether that be a good thing or a bad thing- I don't care. "Oh- well that's good at least! Although I would still like to find out what that was." Rainbow Steve replied.

Galaxy Steve nodded his head in agreement. After they said that I felt someone breathing on my neck again but I played it off as though I didn't feel anything. "I think we're alright. you guys might be feeling your own energy's." I said still playing it off. So far I think I'm doing pretty good with pretending that I don't know what happened/what they're talking about. "That's pretty unlikely-" Rainbow replied. "But it's still possible." I said, cutting him off.

'Ok- that might be suspicious but whatever.' I thought to myself. "What might be suspicious?" Galaxy Steve asked in a serious tone. "Huh?" I asked visibly confused. I put our plates on the table and beckoned them to come sit down. Wait- I just now realized somethi- 2 things. 1, IS GALAXY STEVE BEING SERIOUS?! And 2- did Galaxy Steve just read my mind? I mean- he's done it before so that would make sense.. "What do you mean?" I asked trying not to confirm nor deny his suspicion of 'reading my mind.' Which I'm 100% sure did not work but hey- worth the shot right? No- probably not honestly.

"Um- I read your mind and you said 'that might be suspicious but whatever.' Now would you mind telling us what might just be suspicious?" Galaxy Steve asked. 'Scary-' I thought to myself kind of hoping he still wasn't reading my mind. "Wow- rude." I said bluntly. "Sabre. Please just tell us what might have been suspicious and we'll let you free." Rainbow Steve pleaded. "Let me free?? What are you- holding me hostage?" I asked jokingly. "You know what I meant." Rainbow said with a mouth full of food.

"By the way- amazing cooking." He said, food still in his mouth. "Why thank ya!" I said proudly. "Ahem.. Sabre.." Galaxy Steve said reminding me of the topic at hand. I sighed. "Fine.. it would be easier if I just showed you after dinner." I said, giving up. Galaxy Steve looked satisfied after I said that. "Thank you. I don't want secrets between us. How bout tomorrow night, we sit around a campfire and tell all our secrets to each other and I'll put up a barrier so the no one can hear us. Does that sound good?" He stated. My head shot up from looking down at the food on my plate.

"Uh- no. That will NOT be happening. I agreed to show you guys what was going on earlier. Not tell my whole life story." I said sternly. "Woah there- no need to be so offended. Galaxy Steve just wants to make sure your mental health is ok and make sure your alright." Rainbow Steve said, making me back off. "And I understand that but like I said, I'm not telling you my whole life story. At least from what I remember.." I said, mumbling that last part. "What was that last part you said?" Galaxy Steve said slightly intrigued. "Hm?" I questioned.

"What you said at the end of your statement." Galaxy stated somewhat sternly. "Oh- uh- nothing." I replied. "Mhm. Ok." He said passive aggressive. "Are you alright?" I asked kind of concerned. "Who? Me? Yeah I'm fine!" He said in his normal happy tone. 'That's better..' I thought to myself. "Alright, well I'm done, meet me outside when you guys are done!" I exclaimed. "But it's dark outside?" Rainbow Steve stated making a point.
