~Behind the Mask~

Chapter 4- "Who? What?"

Sabre's POV

I slowly spread out my wings and then quickly spread them in attempt to push whoever this was off of me. And it worked. "What the- ow?" They said. I quickly spun around to see who was behind me. "Sabre? What was all that about?" Galaxy Steve questioned, walking up beside me with Rainbow. I looked at the person at my feet as they looked back up at me. "Who are you?" I asked the stranger on the ground in front of me. "Huh? Sabre- there's no one there." Rainbow Steve said.

I looked at Rainbow in confusion. "You don't see this idiot on the ground in front of me?" I asked insulting the stranger. In all honesty- this guy really is an idiot though. I heard Galaxy Steve laugh a little. "Wha- HEY!" He exclaimed. "Am I wrong though?" I asked him. Which I still don't know his name. "Rude-" He said, giving up on fighting back the truth. I smiled at that. "Uh- no. I don't see whoever the idiot is on the ground, and you can?" Rainbow Steve asked. "Huh- that's interesting." I said getting lost in thought for a second.

Ok- this guy's new name is The Idiot. Or just Idiot, I don't know. I still don't know his actual name though. He had a look on his face as though he realized something. So he stood up and bowed down and I looked at him surprised. "Oh no- no no no no. Stand up straight. Not every single person I see is going to bow down to me. Ok? So stand up straight before I end up smacking you. Oh yeah- is it possible to make yourself visible so that the people beside me that I definitely do NOT know don't think I'm crazy?" I asked.

"Uh- HOW DARE YOU!" Rainbow Steve yelled getting offended by my choice of words. I started laughing at his reaction. "Yes I can Elan." The stranger replied. Right after he said that, he turned himself visible to Rainbow Steve and Galaxy Steve. "Wait- no- my name is SABRE." I corrected after the lightning was done. "Elan." "Sabre." "Elan." "Sabre." "Elan." "Sabre." "Ela-" He said, getting interrupted. "Um- hello- are y'all done yet?" Galaxy Steve asked a little annoyed.

"Sabre- and yes we are done now." I said in a some-odd demanding tone of voice. The unknown person in front of me groaned as I finished the argument. "Now- mind telling us your name?" Rainbow Steve asked seeming annoyed at what had just happened. "Oh yeah, my name is Illusion Steve and I lived in the Kingdom of Shadows along with Elan.. or as you call him Sabre." He replied, glaring at me. Which didn't really scare me, I've seen scarier things.

For instance a scientist, man those idiotic people scare me.. I just stuck my tongue out at him and he rolled his eyes. "Jeez- your still as childish as you were before you were taken." Illusion Steve said in a monotone voice. I copied his eye movement from before and rolled my eyes in a mocking sort of way. "Oh yeah? And what are you gonna do about it?" I asked to see what his reaction would be. "Absolutely nothing." He replied smiling. 'Well that was disappointing.' I thought to myself.

"Can we go to bed now? I'm tired and it's the middle of the night..." Galaxy Steve complained. "Yeah- I'll set up a room for Illusion Steve, y'all go head to bed." I replied. "Oh thank God Steve.. goodnight Sabre!" Rainbow Steve exclaimed, running into the house and upstairs. "Goodnight Sabre!" Galaxy Steve exclaimed, doing the same thing. "Night!" I yelled to them. "Alright- lets get a room set up for you." I said, turning around to face Illusion Steve. "Alright- I'll follow you!" He said as cheerfully as he could.

Ok- ima be real with you, that cheerfulness does NOT fit his personality and never again do I want to hear that attitude coming from his mouth. It's kinda scary in my opinion. I know- now I sound rude and all but ya know what? In my defense, I'm just being very brutally honest! I don't know what else to tell ya. "So- can I ask you a question?" I asked, starting a conversation so that we're not in awkward silence. "Sure, go ahead." He said, giving me the 'good ahead.' "What is up with you and breathing on the back of my neck?" I asked out of the blue while putting my blindfold back on.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" He asked confused. "Before you revealed yourself to me. You stood behind me and blew air on the back of my neck, twice. Once when I first took my blindfold off and second when I was making dinner." I replied, elaborating on what I meant. "OH! That wasn't me but I know who it was." He said as if it were obvious as to who or what it was. "And I'm guessing your not gonna tell me and your gonna let me figure it out by myself?" I said in more of a statement than a question. "You got it!" He exclaimed less cheerful than last time which I'm glad for.

"Ok.. well your room is just right here and I'll give you a tour of the house tomorrow morning. Just come get me when your ready for it! Goodnight!" I said sort of in a rush so that I could get to bed. "Alright thanks- night!" He replied blankly. Once I got in my bed, I didn't even bother to take off my blindfold. I was too tired! Can't blame me.. ŪnŪ

~Time skip~

It's morning now. I got about 2 hours of sleep.. and I'm dreading waking up. I do NOT want to get up right now. It is 6:30 in the morning which is usually the time that I get up and start the day. I woke up at 5:00 and decided to give up on trying to go back to sleep. I swear- I woke up like every 30 minutes to an hour, and I went to 'sleep' at 12:30 or so. I don't know what kept me up through the entire night but whatever it was, it better not do it again.

Wait- I just remembered that I told Illusion Steve that I'd give him a tour of the house in the morning... but I did also tell him to come get me when he was ready so I guess that's good? Does he even know where my room is? I don't know at this point. All I know is that I'm extremely tired and I have to give Illusion Steve a tour around this maze of a house. This is going to be a long day... a moment later I heard a knock on the door. I quickly made sure that I had my blindfold on and told whoever was outside the door to come in.

And yup, you guessed it! It was Illusion Steve. As soon as I saw him I stood up from my bed. "You ready for your tour?" I asked in as much as a good sounding mood as I could at the moment. "Mhm." He said very tiredly. Dang- at least I made the effort to hide my tiredness. "How much sleep did you get?" I asked, walking out of my room with Illusion following in behind. "4 and a half hours? I think?" He replied after doing the math in his head.

"What about you?" He asked curiously. "I slept pretty good." I lied. "Well that's good right?" He said in more of a statement. "Yep. You ready to start this tour?" I asked quickly changing the topic. "Sure." He replied.

-Ahah! Finally got this out! Something that I forgot to ask in the last chapter was, is there any ships you people want? If there is, please let me know in the comments and I'll see you in the next chapter!
Have a good day/night!
