*No One*

"So, What colors?" Violet Leader asked, looking at the multitude of supplies before him.

"Sabre likes green doesn't he? Or white?" Orange Leader picks up green wool. "But we could start with oak, or spruce? Cherry wood?."

Green Leader was organizing flowers and leaves; after he ran off to grab said plants. He looks up and shrugs before continuing with his organizing.

"It should have multiple rooms. One for storage, another for cooking, more than one room; since Time likes to stay, and possibly others." The Orange Leader continued, "Maybe a fish tank? Does Sabre like fish?"

"Yes." Blue Leader says handing the Orange one some glass, "He likes Tropical Fish, he likes the colors." He glances up towards a pillar of scaffolding to see Light at the very top. Light was looking at the space that was cleared out and had his hands spread out seemingly measuring the spot.

"It shouldn't have too many windows!" Light shouts down from his tower, "There's still some Steves who don't like Sabre and are willing to harm him!"

"That's one of the reasons we are building his house so close to the guards quarters and ours! Also Light Come Down Here!" Orange shouts back.

Light climbs down before jumping the rest of the way. "Yes?"

"I-" Orange Leader begins before Yellow Leader trips over Green. Light and Orange turn to look at Yellow Leader, the Steve lays on the ground and lets out a pained groan. "Are you Okay?" Orange Leader walks over to the fallen Steve.

Green Leader was now crouched next to Yellow Leader, before helping the other leader up. Yellow's face was a light shade of orange as he blushed in embarrassment. Yellow's eyes widened before closing, a hand going to the side of his head.

"You really need to watch where you're going." Violet says, throwing a piece of wool at his fellow leader.

Yellow opens his eyes and glares with a frown before throwing the wool back at the Violet Leader, "Eat Dirt." He says standing up, patting the dirt from his clothes.

The Indigo Leader opens their eyes and sits up from where they were laying; honestly the leaders totally didn't jump and they totally realized Indigo was there. They stare at their fellow leaders before blinking and walking away.

"And, they're gone... Again." Yellow crosses his arms across his chest and shakes his head.

"I'll go see what that was all about!" Blue shouts before also ditching the others.

"Alright, Light as I was- for the love of Origin Again?" Orange looks up at the top of the scaffolding where Light sat. Light shrugs before glancing at the cleared space, going straight back to what he was doing before Orange called him down. "Hmm, I'll get the outline started." Orange couldn't help but to smile at Light, at Shy. He looks away after memories of the past, with the others coming back.... He'd rather not have a mental breakdown today.

*??? (From Before at the end of Chapter 3)*

It glances down at the Leaders and it watches, its book floats beside it; pages turning. It takes the floating book out of the air and writes something on one of the pages. The Indigo Leader sensed it... The Indigo Leader was not supposed to do that.

It fazed through the ground before arriving in the Indigo Leader's shadow and watched as the Indigo Leader tried to describe its presence to the Blue Leader. The Blue Leader believes the Indigo Leader. That's not how it was supposed to happen.

What will it do?

What can it do?

This is not good...

Hmm...

The Yellow One shall do for now.

—------------------

It waits for the Yellow Leader to leave the other Leaders. Eyes watch the Yellow Leaders every step and movement. It listens as the Leader talks, it recognizes the Leader's patterns. Yes, this shall do the being thinks. A shard glistens in the beings hand as it watches the Leader finally leave the others.

As the Leader walks it slides into his shadow and waits. This Leader is fast and clever, this one will do very well with what's to come.

—------------------

It steps out of the Leader's shadow and tilts its head as the Leader backs away.

*Yellow Leader*

A being rises from my shadow, a book floating around said being. It reaches forward faster than I expected, its hand grasping my right wrist. Being able to move I try to shout but nothing comes out. Purple Tendrils wrap around my right arm, and something crystalline stabs into the back of my hand.

The being vanishes and my body registers a burning pain, collapsing onto my knees.

My right arm looks like crying obsidian, my fingers are like claws; a pointed crystal star lays on the top of my hand, small yet noticeable.

My vision swims before black dots appear in the corners of my eyes, before I crash to the ground. A shriek rips from my throat before everything disappears.

*Indigo Leader*

Glancing up alongside Blue, as a shriek breaks through the silence. I stand up and grab Blue's hand, dragging him along with me. As we run to go investigate we pass on edge guards; good they are aware.

We find some guards standing outside of a door, the guards move allowing us entrance. I continue to lead Blue, as we enter. Green Leader and three of his people are standing nervously; fearfully. Yellow Leader lays unconscious on the ground.

The door is opened once again revealing Light, Orange Leader, M, and the Professor; it seems that it was the Professor who dragged M along. Strange... The presence from before... it lingers....

"What's going on?" Orange Leader asks, looking alarmed at the unconscious form of Yellow.

Professor Reds goggles were down, blocking anyone's view of his eyes. But with how he took a step back with clenched fists and him actually standing straight, something is wrong. M went to step forward but the Professor immediately pulled him back.

"I feel a lingering presence amongst us." I reveal, keeping my voice as calm as possible.

"Indigo Leader come, tell me, does the presence feel like this?" Green Leader motions towards Yellow Leader's arm, bringing everyone's eyes onto the obsidian textured arm. I close my eyes and feel Blues presence, revealing he too was sensing it.

I open my eyes and walk towards Yellow Leader, going to touch his arm to see if the presence truly came from him.

"Wait!" My head looks over to the Professor who was looking at me, "I-" He turns and runs out of the room with a hand to his head. M turns and races out of the room to follow.

A groan brings my eyes back onto the now Semi-conscious Leader. His eyes looked around the room before passing out once more. Light frowns before walking over beside me, placing a hand on my shoulder. Green Leader lifts Yellow into his arms before leaving to go to a medical room.

Something is truly wrong...

I fear something is coming. My heart starts racing as panic overthrows my calmness.

The other Leaders leave to make sure everyone is calm, all but Blue.

"Indigo..." He sits down next to me, "Take a deep breath." I do as he says, feeling the panic go down. "There we go." He smiles at me and I smile back.

I'm glad to have a friend like Blue.
