A Twisted Truth

Chapter 2 - Confusion

[Light's POV]

As Light and happy arrived at their destination, they scrambled about. Light went to place the Sabre down on the couch while Happy scurried to close every curtain.

Light crouched down by the couch after pulling the blanket hanging on the back onto the Sabre. He tapped on the Sabre's arm lightly and tilted his head. "I wonder what your universe was like.. I hope it wasn't too bad..." He muttered under his breath. 

Light was really hoping they didn't have another very traumatized Sabre on their hands. Not that he wouldn't help, he desperately wanted to help in any way he could. Light just... REALLY hoped that he didn't do anything too bad to this Sabre, if he even existed in that universe..

Light thought he looked so peaceful in sleep, though he could be having a nightmare... Or not, who knows? Well, this Sabre, maybe knows. The moment felt like it lasted forever, so calm, so.. Peaceful... He knew Happy was standing over him, watching this. He knew it was only a minute, but it felt so long.

The door then suddenly burst open and slammed against the wall as two figures walked in- Well, one ran in, but still. The shorter one of the two ducked right after Happy made a surprised noise and threw whatever object was closest to him at the pair. Light stood back up after the two walked in.

Thankfully, it was just Time and Sabre, and Time didn't even seem to mind being hit in the face with an apple. As far as Light could tell at least, he wasn't the best at reading people, and Time didn't have to much of a face with it being a clock- Or was it a mask..? He, why did he never bother to ask?? Another thing added to his checklist of stupid mess-ups... 

"Sorry.." Happy laughed a bit while rubbing the back of his head with a smile. "Instincts get the better of you sometimes! I think Sabre can relate, like HOW did you duck that fast!? Anyways but uh, yeah sorry."

"It's quite alright.." Time spoke with warmth to his voice. "Now Sabre why did we-"

Time was cut off as Sabre rushed by him and over to the alternate version of himself. Everyone seemed very confused when Sabre just stood over the other him, a blank yet knowing expression on his face. Light could tell he knew something.

Sabre obviously knew this was alternate universe. He was the one who informed Light of the multiverse. He'd also informed M since they were pretty close, and Professor Red knew since he was.. Well... The Professor.. And Time had always known. Happy didn't know though, so they'd have to explain that to him. But it was like Sabre knew something that none of them knew, and sadly Light couldn't read the expression on Sabre's face now. Sad..?- No, pitiful, yeahhhhh that's it!! Good job Light!

"Where... Where did you find him..?" Sabre asked wearily- Wait when did he start sounding like that? Does that singular thing really matter right now.. Yes... Anyways, Light noticed how much Sabre was fidgeting with his hands, and how many little twitches his wings were doing currently.

Light was the first to speak up. "In.. The cave where The First Curse was held, why..?"

Sabre shifted, his wings drooping ever so slightly. "So, everyone here knows about the multiverse- Well, except Happy, right?"

"Wait MULTIVERSE?!! Wha-!? When?! When did this hap-??" Happy yelled out before his mouth was covered by Light's hand. He felt a little bad, maybe he should've just said something instead of taking action against Happy.. But he couldn't show that he felt that way, so he just went along with what he did.

Moving his hand away from Happy's mouth, Light spoke. "This isn't something that needs to get out.. You were yelling and you know how... Many of the other orange steves can be.. Curious.. But we trust you enough that we believe you won't tell the rest of the village about this after we give you information."
