Colors ~ Volume 1

Season 1, Episode 16: Overhanging Dream

"Your drinking water? At this time of the day? You do realize you're going to pee on the bed if you drink this late." My mom stated. Just a reminder that I used the stupid excuse of drinking water to hide Veronica and her cube inside my closet.

"Ahhh! Sorry mom, I was just really thirsty. What are you doing up so late yourself?" I asked her.

"I had to use the bathroom and thought I'd better check up on my, oh I don't know, children! Now go to sleep and goodnight." She stated.

"Goodnight," I said back. She closed the door behind her and as she entered her room, I opened the closet door.

"Sorry I pushed you inside, she was about to see you," I said.

"Ah, it's fine. But why do you have an empty box in here?" She asked me. I looked at the box and there was nothing there, but it was the same box I had pulled my journal from my first day.

"I don't know why, I'll throw it away later." I shrugged, not wanting her to find out I potentially had a journal.

"Alright, well. Before you so rudely shoved me into your closet I was about to explain Pink's power."

"Pink?" I asked her, she nodded excitedly.

"Pink is my favorite color. Not only the person but the actual color." Yeah, I could tell Veronica. Your farmer/PJ's outfit was bright pink. If you stayed out of the closet for even one millisecond longer a blind person would've seen you.

"Did you find out about her powers or who she was? Because based on the video and the cube there were only ten colors that had gotten executed." I stated.

"Well, that's because she was killed beforehand in battle by one of the Emperor's infamous generals. It was said she fended off against two and a half armies filled with one thousand each before she accidentally tripped. That was when she was slain. Her powers mainly consisted of using hyperpowered claws and biting her enemies so hard they died within seconds."

"That sounds... like a really bad power," I stated.

"But here's the thing though, with her incredible speed she was able to avoid multiple bullets and swords, and was able to take out so many of the Redwood militia she was nicknamed 'The Pumaʼ. Sick nickname right?"

"Yeah, I guess so. Are there any other colors?"

"Well there was one more, his name was 'Red' though, I think his powers were imitating the ones that he saw. For example, he could imitate Greens' or Browns' powers to a T. Although, not much else is known about him since he died way earlier than when they were executed."

"Did you find out how he died?" I said out of curiosity.

"I think it was said there was an explosion on an expedition he was going through. The explosion killed six other people including him but then again, there were no eyewitnesses left alive in that explosion." She said, sitting down on my bed. I sat down next to her and asked her,

"Are there any more?"

"There were three more I believe. Gold, Silver, and another... which I can't remember the third one for my life. But she was nicknamed something if I remember clearly for once." I waited for her to think some more and she snapped her fingers,

"The Forgotten One."

"What was her power? Or Gold and Silver's for that matter." I asked her.

"I honestly have no idea. Remember, I only spent an hour on this so I wasn't able to find out what either of their powers were. Still, it's a little strange how that color is called the 'Forgotten One'." She stated.
