《More Than You Realize》Chapter 23: Lied, Scarred, No Turn Backs...

One strike, two strike, three strike, four. This is when they live no more. Five strike six, seven strike eight. Come on, everybody, your death soon awaits. Heheheh...
So I've gone completely insane. Is that a bad thing? No... my reasons are perfect.
My hand traced over the cuts I've made in the wall. Each one resembled a person that's drove me to where I am today. My smirk grew as I reminded myself of those friends I had.
"Sabre... don't think about them. Well, you can... just in a way," I said to myself slashing the wall once again with a sword I made from my new magic.
"Sabre... I thought I said don't cut the wall anymore. We can't get anyone to fix them. No one will come here and do it," Ty said as he entered my room. I turned to him without any emotion.
"What else could I destroy? I have to do something," I pointed out. He didn't answer my question.
"Just don't destroy my walls okay?" he said crossing his arms. I growled before jabbing the sword in the ground not far from him. I felt my eyes twitch in anger.
"AnSwEr My QuEsTiOn!" I yelled. He flinched a little, but not like he was suppose to. I growled even more at his emotionless reaction.
"I don't know what you could destroy, but I've taken you in when you were at your weakest. You won't growl at me," he said straightening his posture. I calmed myself down so I didn't end up breaking my relationship with Ty. I can't have him hating me at this point.
"Whatever," I said turning away from him. I sat down on the firm bed. My fingers squeezed the rough mattress, and it didn't feel that good. I winced a little bit.
"Everything will be fine, Sabre. You will learn soon enough what you need to do and how to go about it. And I will be here every step of the way," Ty said calmly. I felt most of my anger leave my body.
I turned to face him, completely emotionless. His black eyes were now glowing red. I felt so much... lighter.
"What are you..." I slurred out, suddenly feeling tired. I fell forward, only to be caught by Ty.
"Sabre... are you okay?" he asked worryingly. I groaned a little before being able to get anything out.
"Yeah... just tired... I want sleep," I said tiredly. Ty laughed and helped me lay down on the rough mattress. He threw the thin covers over me before leaving the room.
"Sleep well," Ty said before closing and locking the door. My eyes closed, and I fell into a deep sleep.
Jake has barely spoken to anyone since Sabre's been gone. I can't blame him, though. Something was definitely wrong with this situation.
"Void Steve? Do you know where Sabre could be?" Jake asked for the millionth time today. I smiled a little, hearing the concern in his voice.
I said. Jake smiled at me before nodding his head. He walked off, probably to ask someone else about Sabre.
I can't think of anywhere Sabre would've gone without telling us. He tells us if he's going to walk to another room! Why would he leave like he did?

Of course, I've thought like everyone else. Something happened as he took one of his night strolls. However, I've had a weird feeling. This thought just isn't right. He would've contacted us if something happened.
I think he doesn't want us to know where he is, but why would he leave on his own will? That's not like Sabre. *sigh* I don't really know what to think.
This thought really bothers me. I mean, Sabre is my first friend; who would want to give that person away? Especially in my circumstances. I haven't had a friend my whole life, and Sabre was there for me when I needed someone.
"Void Steve? Can you come here?" I heard Galaxy Steve call. I hummed, but he was too far to hear it.
I said walking away from where I once stood.
Galaxy Steve was in his room. He was sitting on his bed and hugging himself. He looked distraught over something. I closed the door, figuring he wanted it to be just us.
I asked sitting next to him. He made his body shrink some. Was he scared to say what was wrong with him?
I placed my covered hand on his shoulder, hoping he would calm down and tell me. He looked at my hand before looking up to me. His yellow eyes were covered with tears, and his frown sent off so many emotions.
"I... I want to remember..." he said softly. I flinched a little. 'Remember?'
I said narrowing my lips into a thin line.
"You have all of my memories, right?" he questioned, making sure his information was right. I nodded my head. "I want to remember what happened. I don't remember anything about splitting myself, making decisions, heck, I have no memory of my whole life. I don't want to continue like that."
I warned taking my hand away from his galaxy like shoulder.
"Void Steve... I need to know! Please!" he exclaimed desperately. I stared for a moment, deciding whether I should or not.
Sabre rolled around in the bed as he began to wake up from his sleep. His face moved inward, cringing at whatever was going through his chaotic mind. His mumbles grew louder as time went on.
"No... lies, all lies! ... why? ... don't do it... what will you gain? ... leave me alone..." he mumbled softly as he rolled over a few more times.
Finally, his eyes shot open. His breathing was labored.
"Wh-what in the..." Sabre mumbled as he began to sit up in his bed. He rubbed his aching head, only the feel his sweat drenched his hand. "Why am I sweating...?"
"Bad dream?" Ty asked as he entered his room. Sabre stared for a moment, still confused about what just happened. Ty let out a sigh. "I think you had a dream about your friends. And I don't think you liked it that well."
"If I dreamed about them, of course I wouldn't be happy," Sabre growled. Ty smirked, seeing his creation.
Was Sabre even aware of the lying statements Ty and Evil Sabre implanted in his head? He thought these statements were the truth. How could he know if they were real or not? Ty and Evil Sabre made everything sound so real... so much like the truth.

"This is what you need to do, Sabre. Prove those past friends of your's wrong. They should've treated you better; they should've had more respect for you," Ty said as his eyes flashed red. Sabre's eyes flashed as well, and he went into a daze.
"Yeah... you're right..." Sabre mumbled loudly, clearing not being himself. Ty laughed a little bit.
"Yes... yes, Sabre. Give ," Ty growled with a smirk. Sabre nodded his head unwillingly.
As quickly as the evil atmosphere came, it left. Sabre's eyes returned to their normal state, and he looked like he was back in reality. Ty's eyes were normal as well, and it looked as if he did nothing to the fragile chicken boy.
"Can I torture my friends when they get here?" Sabre asked with a smirk. Ty smiled and nodded his head.
"Of course..." Ty said before leaving them room. Sabre stared at the metal door. His smirk grew once the door didn't open for a period of time.
"Oh, Tyler. You have no clue what you're in for. Hmhmhm," Sabre hummer as he stood up from his bed. "I'll kill them... and then, I'll kill !"
Sabre looked at himself in the broken mirror. His reflection was messed up wherever the cracks or missing pieces lied. He let out a small chuckle as he looked at his broken, insane self in the mirror.
Trust is something you can't always have~
Trust is something that comes in time~
My dear Ty have you not learned... your lesson~
It's about time to face the TRUTH!
Your partner in crimes~
Will turn... in a... second~
Just face the fa~a~ACTS~
We won't always be by your side~
Sabre slashed his knife across the wooden desk under the mirror. A deep cut scarred the wood, and will never leave.
Trust is such an expensive thing~
And most people can't aff-ord~
Can't you see the ?~
IN MY ANGERED EYES!~
Don't let my pity statements~
Fool you from what's true~
I think you've let me de-mise you~
Now it's time to face you pun-ish-MENT!~
Sabre left his room in his insane state. His mind was completely lost at this point. He had no control over what he was doing, or where he was going.
Don't give any single person~
The thing you must cherish mo-OST!~
Trust is easily broken~
NOW YOU MUST PAY THE ~!
Sabre walked into the room where most employees worked. Luckily, Tyler was nowhere in sight. Sabre smirked as he locked the door with him and the workers inside. They all looked quite fearful as Sabre neared them.
Oh dear Ty~
I think you've made a grave mistake~
Maybe you should think next time~
Before giving an insane person your TRUST!~
One by one, Sabre stabbed the workers. Many ran and yelled for help. Before anyone could hear them, he would make sure they were dead.
Blood covered the metal floor. Much came from the workers as their blood dribbled down outfits and onto the floor. Sabre stared at the last worker as he died, clipboard in hand.
"I should leave before someone comes by," Sabre said to himself. He looked around the room, checking for any security cameras. Not a one in sight.
Sabre, quickly, made his way back to his room to clean the blood off of him before he was questioned. He waved his hand over the red on his clothes. It all disappeared in no time.
"Sabre? May I ask a serious question?" Tyler asked entering the room shortly after Sabre came back. 'Does he like barging into my room?' Sabre thought annoyingly.
"Sure. What is it?" Sabre asked.
"The majority of my employees were just attacked in the work room. Have you heard anything that would lead to an intruder?" Ty asked.
"Hm... nope. I haven't heard a thing," Sabre said adjusting his bandana he tied around his wrist when he first got here.
"Why is there a cut on the wood?" Ty asked as he examined the desk closely. Sabre stared at Ty in disbelief. How easily did he get off topic?
"I was thinking, and I ended up cutting the top. I didn't even realize until I was finished with my thoughts," Sabre said. He wasn't entirely lying. However, his statement wasn't the whole truth.
Ty raised an eyebrow, obviously not believing his story. Sabre stared into his black eyes. Ty flinched a little.
Sabre's eyes were small. This was normally a sign of insanity, which Ty knew Sabre was insane.
Ty's lips curved up as he witnessed the true insanity of his creation. Sabre's eyes continued to drill a hole in Ty as Ty continued to smirk at his creation. His white teeth showed plain at day in the darker room.
"I think it's time we teach your a lesson. Don't you?" Ty questioned. Sabre began to smirk himself after that statement.
"Yes... I believe it's time, Tyler," Sabre spatted going unnoticed by Ty.
Ty left the room, but motioned for Sabre to follow. Sabre stood up and followed Ty to some random location.
Sabre stared at the many machines in the room they walked in. It looked oddly familiar.
"Don't you remember, Sabre? This is where you were kept when we were enemies. It took some time to get things up and running, but here we are," Ty said proudly.
"Master, everything is ready to go," Evil Sabre smirked as he walked beside of Ty and Sabre. Ty nodded his head.
"Great. Are you ready to prove your friends wrong?" Ty said looking at Sabre.
Sabre stared at the many machines and began to think about all of the potential they held. His smirk got bigger as he thought about his so-called friends. He had so many awful thoughts about hurting them.
"Of course... Master," Sabre replied as his flashed red once again. The insanity Sabre was coming out, and there was no stopping this threatening evil.
