Where am I?(On Hold)

Chapter Four

Emilia's POV

It looks like they're talking about something, but is that an Orange Steve? Are they friends or does Red Steve need something from him? The Steve looks around my age... They turned to look at me 'Oh crap they're looking at me... What do I do!? Ima just walk over...' I slowly made my way over.

"And this is the girl who came from the portal to be the savior of all steves!" Red introduces me to his friend. I smile as my ears twitch. "You're being a little too kind there Red Steve, I'm not that..." I replied with a smile, the Steve smiled a bit.

"I'm Emilia, nice to meet you, and you are?" I ask "Hi, Emilia!" Red smiles, "This is an Orange Steve, a very close friend of mine for a long time now!" I nod as I reached a hand out, "Nice to meet you!" he takes my hand and shakes it, "Nice to meet you too!"

"Hey, Red Steve? What were you freaking out about earlier?" I ask him. I twitch my tail a bit. "Oh! I needed to talk to him about very important stuff." Red Steve explains. I nod, but there's more to this. "Orange Steve, can we go to your house so we can talk about this stuff?" Red asks Orange Steve.

"Sure! Let's go!" Orange Steve sounds so excited. I followed the two as they walked, dumb anxiety I thought flicking my tail. I looked up, "Wow! That looks so cool!" We walk past a few more trees until we're in front of the giant house.

"Whoa! You got a nice looking house, Orange Steve!" I exclaim, Red nods, "Yea, it doesn't look half bad." Orange Steve is practically beaming, "Thanks! Us Orange Steves are about creativity!" I grin, 'I know...'

I smile and nod, "Can you show us around?" He nods, looking really happy, "Sure!" He opens the door and leads us in.

I look around the first room, a soft-looking sofa is in the room with a huge bookshelf, "This is the living room!" Orange tells me I smile, "It looks nice!"

I look behind him and see a table and a bit of food on it. "I guess that's the Dining Room?" I half asked him as I walked to it. "It's been a while since I've been here and seen Orange Steve." Red Steve mumbles. I look over to him and nod, "It seems like it." I rub my arm hoping I don't cover anything with ice.

"Yea it has!" Orange Steve nods. Red starts walking around and goes into a different room, "Ummmm... you don't mind if we look around right?" I ask him, he smiles and shakes his head, "It's fine." Orange replies, "Thanks for that, Red Steve was acting kinda weird, but maybe he just needed a friend to talk to," He nods understanding, "It's no problem."

"Ummmmm... Emilia, Orange can you guys give me a sec alone? We'll talk about it after a bit of thinking." I tilt my head, why looking up to him, "Ummm... Okay, I guess... we can give you some space." I walked to the door and he gave a smile, "Thanks."

I close the door after me and Orange Steve. "Hey, Orange? Do all steves live away from each other or are there not many of you? Red said he was the last of his kind so, I'm kinda confused, I guess." I asked him. "No, I just kinda like living out here," he replies to me, "Oh! That's cool like having little towns and groups sounds really cool!" I said aloud.

"Yea, we live in groups but I just choose to live out here," Orange explains, I nod "That's kinda cool, it gives you some head space and could stop a lot of arguments with other Orange Steves if that happens." He nods a bit, "It helps with the creativity to live out here." I smile, "That's fair, I moved away because of how loud it was at home, I much prefer the quiet of the forest." I lied.

Lightning started to boom. "Ummmm... It's not raining... Why does it sound like it's coming from inside?" I ask Orange, he freezes and my ears and tail lower the door and ran in.

"Red Steve?!?" I asked why shouting, lightning was hitting him... 'There's something on his back... Is he infected by the Darkness?!?'

"O-Orange Steve what do we do?!? Is he okay?!? What do we do!?! What's that on his back?!?" I asked scared he was shaking his head, "I don't know!" I looked at my friend... "Are you sure you don't know what's going on with that on his back???" Orange shakes his head again, "I don't!!" he sounds worried.

"R-Red Steve please say something!!" I tell the Steve my hand is going to the Kunai, "The Darkness..." Red said out loud "What do you--- Nonononononono, Red Steve..." I panic the Darkness got to him...

"It's corrupting me..." He told us. "But, we didn't go near the Darkness!! Did one make contact with you?!" I said. "I needed IT!" he sounds so mad... "What do you mean you needed it?!? The thing you were looking for? I don't know what you're talking about!" I snap, frustrated tears building up.

He turns around and it's fucking scary, "Orange when we opened up the temple apparently the Darkness was sealed inside of the temple so when it was released there were these seven dark figures I don't even know what they were but there was seven of 'em they each stood on a pedestal well the seventh was blocking our way! But one of them had to have made contact with Red Steve! I think the Darkness got inside of him!" I explain to Orange Steve.

He froze for half a sec, "What do we do?!" I ask "That's not good..." Orange Steve mumbles I look at Red Steve, "I know that now! Can we separate the Darkness from him! Red Steve, you have to be able to fight it!! You can do this!" I felt like crying as I talked.

"Come on do this!!" Orange pleads Red, "Red Steve I know I just met you, but you're a nice guy! You can do this!!" I told the Steve, it looks like he's trying to fight it, tears are streaming down his face, "I'm trying," he sounds scared, "Orange I- I'm going to use magic on him," I say as I pull my glove off ready my spell. 

He nods and looks at Red Steve, "You have to make it!" In and out Emilia, remember just seal him, "සීල් මාස්ටර්!" I shout a ball of light hits him and his form turns into a heart charm, I walk over and pick it up...

"Ho- How?" Orange ask me... "I mainly work with seals, charms... and enchantments, I'll keep Red Steve like this until I can help," I reply as I put the charm on my bracelet and rub my eye.
