The orb in the center admitted a yellow light.

"Sweet I'm up first!" Chooki said excitedly

Maggy cringed a little. Even now his positive attitude in these situations made her uncomfortable. She felt as if he welcomed pain into his undead life.

"Has anyone murdered for no reason?" Chooki asked

"Yes I have." Guren said sounding slightly proud

A candle flame turned red indicating Guren's honesty.

"No, I always had a reason. I just keep it to myself." Toxsa said

A green flame appeared. The boys looked at Maggy awaiting her answer.

"No, I've only technically murdered once and it was out mercy." Maggy stated her mind going back to Raven Claw

She held in the urge to cry as a purple flames appeared. Then the orb turned red, causing Guren to smile a bit.

"What's the darkest feeling that still lingers with you?" Guren asked in a composed manner

"I feel like I'm always being watched." Chooki said without hesitation his tone of voice becoming paranoid

A yellow flame appeared.

Maggy didn't know how to react to that. It was kind of out of left field for her. But she shook the thought off so she could focus.

"I feel like everything I do causes something bad somewhere else." Maggy stated

Another purple flame.

"No matter what we do some of the people we care about are gonna die." Toxsa said calmly his eye showing a the slightest bit of fear and sadness

Another green flame.

Almost immediately Maggy felt both tears and dread. She knew from the beginning Toxsa could say things that would cause some sort of emotion. But that was something that just hit hard. Minutes passed and Maggy had been confined to her thoughts causing her to lose contact with the world around her. Until a loud whistle broke her from her thoughts.

Maggy looked up to the boys just staring at her. A hint of concern was visible within their expressions. She looked to the orb that was now green.

"Sorry what was the question?" She asked feeling a little embarrassed

"What's your biggest regret?." Toxsa said

Maggy shook her head. She looked at the candles. Another yellow and red flame.

"I never told my parents I killed my sister. Not even when they were dieing." Maggy brought up

Another purple flame.

The boys each had different expression to this. Guren looked shocked, yet disappointed at that decision, Chooki seemed to feel the remorse Maggy felt, and Toxsa seemed unfazed, as if he thought it was logical. The orb turned purple as they regained their focus.

Maggy figured this meant it was her turn. And she had the perfect question in mind.

"Is there a leader or alpha in your group?" Maggy asked the a hint if knowing confidence in her voice

"Yes!"

"No."

"Awkward."

Three answers all at the same time, and one yellow flame. Maggy processed the the answers, then waited as they did the same.

"What you mean yes?" Guren questioned Chooki not paying attention to the candles

"Well I thought it was pretty clear you're the leader! And how the hell is it awkward, Toxsa?" Chooki answered and questioned

"You know full well why it's awkward for me." Toxsa said still calm

"I'm not a leader!" Guren practically whined

"It wasn't a chose for you!!" Chooki yelled at Guren

"How?!!" Guren yelled

"Oh gee I don't know, Bravewolf!" Toxsa raised voice finally agitated

"Don't CALL me that!!" Guren yelled in anger at this point

"It's apart of your instincts and who you are! You! Are! A! LEADER!" Chooki yelled

Soon the boys rose to their feet yelling at each other. Yellow, red and, green flames appeared the more they yelled. Question were asked and promptly answered, answers turned into questions, questions turned into answers. Maggy sat there watching the flames and listening to chaotic yelling.

The orb in middle changed color rapidly as the argument filled with questions and answers raged on. The orb started shaking cracks appeared in it. Maggy snapped out if her stare and dived to the floor. Not a second later the orb burst with a loud crack. The boys fell to the floor in complete shock, their argument finally silenced.

"Is everyone alright?" Maggy asked

"Yeah, I think so." Guren responded

"Yes just shocked." Chooki said

"I'm fine." Toxsa stated simply

They all got back to their feet. They took a moment to regain their thoughts then looked at the candles.

Far more red flames than any other.
