The Memory of the Artifacts

Chapter 8- Voices

~Rainbow Steve's POV~

"Yellow Steve? Who is this?" I say as I feel like I know them.

"This is Purple Steve, the one you met a while back.." Yellow Steve says and I look at him in disbelief. There is no way...

I look at the unconscious body on the ground, completely dressed in purple clothes. How could it be him? In my memories he left me, left all of us after we met Blue Steve again. I got the yellow artifact, the green artifact, and the orange artifact with him; but then we found Blue Steve again and he just disappeared. I turn and look at Blue Steve, then at Sabre. Should I believe that this is happening? Better yet; is this even happening?

Yellow Steve is here, and I have a hunch that he was aware of Purple Steve being here; so I guess Purple Steve is real. I kneel down at the opposite side of Yellow Steve and look at Purple Steve. The lightning I did must've struck him..

I gingerly place the back of my hand on his forehead and he seems normal, other than the fact that he's unconscious. Yellow Steve closes his eyes and seems to be focusing hard, because his hand isn't going through Purple Steve's hand when he checks for pulse. Yellow Steve sighs and looks up after removing his hand, "He's still breathing, just be more careful on where you shoot lightning," he says, obviously directed towards me.

I slowly nod, knowing I caused Purple Steve pain before I even saw him again. "This isn't right! How is it that every time I try to get help, something always backfires?" I shout and Sabre just looks saddened. Blue Steve steps back from my outburst and I sigh again, "Back a long time ago, Blue Steve was helping me get all the artifacts; and he lost his powers completely back then! Sabre has that gash on his neck from trying to save me from Memory Steve! I'm the reason why everyone gets hurt.." I say and look at the ground. Blue Steve and Sabre both run over to hug me, and I cry in Sabre's chest. Blue Steve just pats my back and tells me encouraging words, while Sabre tells me 'it's alright' over and over again. (I'm literally crying from writing this)

My sobs get louder as I continue to cry, and it gets harder to breathe. I end the hug to get a deep breath, and that's when I see the blue artifact glowing slightly. I pick it up and the glow gets a slight bit brighter, and then I hear a deep voice speaking to me. "Those who help know the cost, and they are never going to be lost. They understand what could go wrong, and help to undo what all is wrong. You are the chosen one," I gasp from hearing the words, and everyone looks at me worriedly. Even Yellow Steve.

"What was that?" I ask scared and look around, and when my eyes reach Sabre, Blue Steve, and Yellow Steve I get concerned looks.

"What was what?" Blue Steve asks and I look at him as if he's crazy. He must be crazy, not to here that voice. I look at Sabre with pleading eyes, trying to get him to back me up on this but he just shakes his head 'no'.

"T-There was a deep voice that just spoke to m-me," I stutter out and get more concerned looks from everyone else, except for Blue Steve. "I think you need to lay down, Rainbow Steve, get some rest," Yellow Steve says and I shake my head 'no', just as Sabre did to me. Blue Steve steps forward and then hugs me again. "What did the voice say?" He asks me and I look at him surprised. Did he actually believe me?

"It said something about how everyone who helps me knows what could happen to them, and how they will never be 'lost'. Then they basically repeated that in different words, then said 'You are the chosen one.'" I say and Blue Steve nods slowly. Last time this happened was back when we got the red artifact I think, (I'm going off of my memory, so if that's wrong then fight me) and Blue Steve believed me then. But he doesn't have his memories, yet he's trusting me on this? Could I have just been hearing voices?

Blue Steve nods and then hugs me again, a short hug. I don't know why, but I blushed slightly from it. Wait what? Why am I blushing? Do I... Like him?
