-Bee-

  My head was numb. I crack open my eyes, shutting them due to the light. Silently groaning, I open my eyes once more.

Something is off.

I feel more powerful...

Why?

Sitting up on a bed... Didn't we just get out of the void?

Wait, where is Azure?

Someone squeaks, and I gaze up. A young Yellow Steve stares at me and I stare back. The Yellow Steve shifts before rushing out of the room.

Tilting my head, a streak of blue crosses my view. I tense. Blue!?

Lifting my hand to grasp at my bang. Oh no. Oh no...

I move my hand away from my hair, dazing off. Before something crosses over my face. I jump slightly, feather appendages that crosses across my eyes, yet I can still see. Oh how I can see.

My eyes burn so I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

'I am quite sorry about this...'

My ears perk up and my eyes open again. Azure?

'Yes. My form was incorporeal, I didn't truly have a body. If I stayed not connected to something on the mortal plain, I believe that I may have disappeared.'

So you are possessing me?

'No. Not exactly... You have full control, I'm just connected to you. You just have a few extra... pieces...'

My mind fuzzes. I had thought that I had forcefully fused with Azure... I thought that I had... Went back to before.

Remembering the blood on my hands, the warmth of the sickly iron smelling liquid. The fire that burned around me, the screams and begs, the Steves yelling for mercy.

Mentally shaking my head, I take another breath. I'm not that person anymore. I'm not. I've changed...

'Breath Bee'

  "Ah, Hello!" Someone speaks, and I flinch. "Apologies, my name is Odette."

I open my mouth but shut it again.

"How exactly do you still have your mind? That is darkness crossing over your face isn't it?" Odette asks tilting their head.

I reach up and touch my black markings. "What?"

"Hmm." Odette's eyes gaze at my crown, "You look like the Nightmare King... Your energy is quite similar to his."

I flinch. I'm not Nightmare anymore.... I'm just Bee.

My crown feels heavy.

"Yet you are still very different. Your hair is lighter, and you don't look like me or any of the other Yellow Steves. So what are you?" Odette crossed their arms.

"I'm- I don't think I'm in my dimension anymore...." I answer.

----------------

Where I was, is a Yellow Steve Village. The Steves here were very friendly. To friendly.

It was quite unnerving to me.

Sure my friends are friendly, but these guys are just always watching my every steps. Is it because I'm- I was Nightmare? Or at least a Nightmare?

That's very likely...

I hate it...

I very much hate it...
