An Infestation.

Quick A/N: somewhere in the end, there will be slight gore. You've been warned.

Depression was a mother and mothers protect their children. That was happening in her head as she felt a presence in her home. Anxiety looked at her and at her sudden silence and awareness. "What is it?" he asked her as he inspected her face.

They were in the garden, it was raining and they were talking and walking under her black umbrella. They were talking about zodiac signs and astrology as the rain poured down on them. Anxiety was interested in what Depression was saying when her face suddenly became dark and she froze and stopped talking suddenly, as if someone pressed the pause button on her.

He started to panic as she stared at no one. "Mom? Are you okay?" his voice was shaking and felt every moment of silence in between then as heavy as the rain that was hitting the umbrella.

Pat, pat, pat, pat, patt-- "Go inside." she suddenly said out of the blue.

"What, why--?" She shut him up grabbing his hand. Depression looked into his eyes and said:

"Please, just trust me..." He scanned her face and then nodding. They went back inside.

"Why are you here?" she demanded the question to the three of them. Logan had been glaring daggers at her while Patton had been holding him back even if he looks like the cross between pissed off and scared. And Roman? He stood with his head high, nerves and fear in his frame-- but she saw right through it.

"Why do you think we're here? To get Anxiety back, you witch!" Roman yelled, fear mixing with anger that boiled in his stomach. Without even thinking, he charged towards her.

But he could never learn his lesson, she flicks her wrist to pull his sword out of his hands; waves her hand to the side to make him trip; and slowly walks towrds him to tower him.

She towered him with his sword in her hand, just like last time, the sword changes color. Depression placed the tip of the sword on his neck to stop him from getting up. "You think you can beat me?" she says with a smirk. "You stood your ground in Thomas' mind, but you're in my world now..." She pressed the sword harder to make his back completely flat on the ballroom floor.

"...Princey?"

Everyone turned to see where that voice came from, they looked at the east exit of the ballroom to see Anxiety.

Patton's heart skipped a beat at the sight of him being okay. "Anxiety!" he cheered with tears in his eyes, he wanted to run to him and hug him but Logan held him back by his arm. Dad almost began to sob to see him in one piece-- he didn't look hurt or in pain or even have a scratch on him. He looked completely okay. Even better than the last time they saw him.

At the sight of him, Depression softened and held herself with less awareness. "Honey..." she gasped under her breath. Taking advantage of her distraction, Roman tripped her and took his sword back. She stood up again, not bothered or in pain-- just pissed.

Roman swung his sword at her but she moved out of the way. With every step he took forward, she moved back or to the side. Her coat made her trip, Depression, out of reaction, tried to take a hold of anything at her disposal. That was Princey's wrist.

There was a flash of red light and then a gasp. Everyone was temporary blinded by the light but when it faded away, they gasped at the sight.

Instead of seeing Princey and Depression, they saw another figure. They looked human, they stood a bit taller than the rest, and had a strange combination of clothing. Their hair was a dark brown and was slightly curled and had a pair of black and brown eyes. Their top was the bodice of Depression's dress, Princey's white suit trousers were their bottoms, his sash was wrapped around their waist, and her coat had the white designs of Princey's suit on it.
