A/N: Sorry I haven't updated for a while. If you wanna know why, all I have to say is that Minecraft is extremely addicting.

Vio's PoV

I saw them first.

"Shadow... Take (y/N) And go. They're here." I whispered. He complied and grabbed (y/n) and disappeared.

I quickly and quietly sprawled on the ground as if I'd been lying there for hours.  My bow was  already lying on the ground, and I moved my hand, ever so slightly towards my sword. 

I admit it, I'm not the neat freak. That would be Blue.

I calmed my breathing, making it rather shallow as the three flocked around me.

"VIO!!" Green yelled.

I groaned and sat up, acting as if I was in pain.

"W-what happened?" I asked. 

"Are you okay?" Red asked.

"I-i'm fine, Red..." I put a hand up to my face. "Ouch." I said.

"Did that... thing hurt you?" Blue asked, concerned, then suddenly his brow furrowed, and he scowled. "I-i mean... SCREW THAT GUY!!!"

'Wait... Why the hell did Blue care about my well being?' I thought to myself. I shook it off.

"Huh?" I asked.

"The creepy 'us'!!!" Red exclaimed.

I knew that Ben hadn't really meant to hurt any of them, as Shadow and (Y/N) had told me, and I assured them, " He wasn't us. Not even a future manifestation of us."

"Then what WAS it?!?!" Blue asked, his voice seemed impatient, but I could hear a hint of... caring in his voice.

I grabbed my book and began to read. 

A newspaper obituary leeched onto the page.

''Ben Daniels, a quiet 16 year old boy was murdered last night, although the only thing that was left were his eyes.

"I'd know those eyes anywhere" Ben's friend Malon said through teary eyes.

Daniels was then, as authorities believe, Daniels was tortured and thrown into the river to drown.'

He died October 30th, 2002.'

"Twelve years ago..." I trailed off.

We were all shaken. 

then more text appeared on the page.

'Also, found near Daniels bloody, sapphire eyes, was a broken, smashed fairy carcass, perhaps belonging to Ben. We, at the time, don't know who crushed the fairy, but it wasn't Ben.'

Actually, I knew it was him.

I stopped there, and the words disappeared, as I, along with everyone else around me didn't want to know any more about Ben's death.

Was Ben good or bad?

I mean he crushed his fairy, but if he was murdered...

WTF?
