Essence of The World [Favremysabre AU]

Story of Ice

[A/N: Till I figure out Nicknames for the Guards I'm calling them Angry and Non Angry. Also Warning there are going to be dark themes in this chapter such as Drowning, Vomiting, almost Freezing to Death, and More. It isn't that bad compared to later on... Also Darkness is here soooo- Bad Things Happen ;0]

"He only wants to speak to the Non-Steve..." Yellow says turning away.

*Sabre*

After Yellow says that the guards get defensive (Mostly Angry), Non Angry Guard grasps my wrist and stares; probably glaring, at the back of Yellow. Yellow turns to look at the three of us from over his shoulder.

"Please follow me." Yellow says, eyes softening at me.

"Sabre isn't going anywhere without us, we were-" Angry begins before Non Angry uses his non-occupied hand to hold Angry's hand, "We were sent here to guard Sabre!" Angry finishes before pressing himself to my side.

"*sigh* Please." Yellow turns to face us.

I turn to look at my guards, "I'll be fine, It'll hopefully be fast." I tell them trying to unsquash myself from where I was now between the two. The two look down at me.. Holy I'm short... and nod letting go of me, Non Angry nudges the other gently.

"Come along." Yellow turns around and begins walking; Angry shoves a dagger into my hand and nods.

I put the dagger somewhere safe; yet accessible. I hurry along to catch up to Comfy Yellow. I observe the houses I walk by; ice catching the sun and the barrier glistens above. Realization hits me; if there's a barrier would me and the guards even be able to leave? Are we trapped?

Yellow leads me up the stairs leading to Ice Steve's home; ice spikes from the house's side as though it was a defense. The house didn't have windows and the roof was curved like a dome. I looked at Yellow who was watching me look around; when did he begin walking by my side?

"Here." He opens the door to the house for me, "I will not be here when you come out."

I walk inside and Yellow closes the door behind me. Ice Steve stands looking at bookshelves; it's cold in here... He turns and smiles at me. "Welcome Sabre."

"Hello? You wanted to talk?" I ask backing up a little; not helpful that there's an ice chandler hanging above.

"Indeed my friend!" He exclaims stepping closer to me, a smile still on his face, "What did Tulip tell you."

NotGoodNotGoodNotGood!

"Errr. Wh-What do you mean?" I question backing up towards the door; the Steve narrows his eyes and my back hits cold. "WHat?" I turn my head to see ice blocking the exit.

No, No, No...

"I apologize but I feel like I need to explain some things..." He tells me.

"You Don't Say?" I shout pressing myself further against the ice; looking for an escape route.

"Please... Calm Yourself." He tells me; a hand reaches forward towards me and I flinch. He frowns and groans. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, I do not mean to feel threatening." He moves away from me and paces, hand on his face and one behind his back. "Oooh, I'm so not good at interactions..."

*Ice Steve*

Oh I messed up... I didn't mean to scare Sabre. Glancing over at the non-steve who was pressed against a wall like a cornered prey. Ugh, person interaction.

I sit down on the ground trying to be as less threatening as possible. Sabre stares, I think... I mean I can't see his eyes so I can only guess.

"I'll put down the ice, but please... Hear me out..." I beg him, "Please..."
