Treasure Box. (A BFB 4X fanfiction)

Minds are Open Books, if You Know How to Read.

???'s P.O.V:

I'm not sure how one of my own creations is controlling me at this moment- I should be the one in control. But he took advantage of me, and now I must obey him.

"Mother, I believe your mind is drifting."

The voice of him snaps me out of my self-pitying thoughts. "Of course, my child..." I murmur almost silently, staring back at the screens before me. The light of them shines on our faces, brightening up my eyes with a glimmer. The blue one, him... Four. He seems to have grown rather fond of the yellow one. Their names.... Four and X, correct?
I hear the cold voice of the variable beside me speak in my head. Yes, those are their names. Four's a smart one, he is. X is compassionate and lucky, causing everyone to love him too much. It's just natural for Four to like him, being the unlucky numeral he is. I think back to him, knowing he was already reading my mind.

He just rolls his eyes at me. I must've been talking too much for his liking.

X's P.O.V:

"Foooouuuuuurrrrr...." I trail off, whining. Four simply sighs under his breath, the bags visible under his eyes. "...Yes?" He answers finally, after what seemed like forever. "I don't think Nine and Five are alright." I mumble. Four only nods, looking away. He seems exhausted. It's been a few hours since we medically used the thyme on me, and I'm already starting to feel better.

Four speaks up.

"We can't go find them. If they're gone, it means something's gone askew. If we look for them, we'll end up the same as they did." He says calmly.

And that's when I feel a tear roll down my cheek.

"...Three got to them, didn't he?"

"I'm sorry, X... I don't think they made it."

Six's P.O.V:

I'm going to make it! I nimbly dart into a stray bush, peeking my head up and out of it. The scene before me is gruesome, to say the least. Five is sprawled on the ground, her organs exposed. She's drenched in sticky, copper-smelling blood. There's a sickly tang in the air- it's easy to pick up the scent of the recently deceased. Six merely watches her body sombrely from her hiding spot. A number lumbers by her body, covered in bloodstains. He casts a regretful glance at Five below him, before turning and walking away. He ducks into a small foliage of trees, out of sight.

My face softens at the sight of Five.

At least she gets to see Nine again.
