(A/N can't update tomorrow morning, so here you go)

(Sky's POV)

I push open the heavy wooden doors before entering the earily quiet guild hall. It's never this quiet. Quiet is only good when you're the one using it. Dan follows me like a shadow as I walk through the main hall. I see a few people peek out at me from different doors along the hallway, but something is wrong. They look afraid. What could make them so afraid? None of us feel fear easily, but now they seem terrified. No longer jumping around with uncontainable energy. Is this how....... the recruits feel?

     Yes, this is called the insane assassins guild. Are we all exactly crazy? No, we aren't, surprisingly. Most of us just have minor things wrong with us, like my wired memory and unpredictable emotions. Red has some kind of multi-personality disorder. I don't know much about Dan's past, but he's like Sonja, in which a traumatic event makes their brain basically short circuit and think differently. I heard that it's some sort of copping mechanism. How do I know this? I have no idea. And then there's Vikk, who came here just because he had no where else to go. I can't remember right now if he came with someone else or not. I guess sticking with us was a better option then him going back to wherever he came from.

A side door suddenly bursts open as another person throws themselves against me. "R-Red? What are you doing?", I ask in confusion while trying to shake him off. Why do I feel bad about shoving him away? "I'm not Red..... I'm Blue", He says. Blue? I've never met this one before. Green, Purple, and Yellow yes, but never Blue. I take in his slumped stance. He looks like he's going to have a panic attack with how he keeps looking around nervously. No wonder this personality wants a hug. Red's afraid..... what is going on?

"P-Please don't leave again, Max scares me", 'Blue says coming closer, but not touching me after I shoved him away. My first instinct is to step away with him so close to me, but I don't. Why can't I move away? "Who is Max, what the heck is going on?", I growl, not caring when Blue flinches. But I do care. I mentally sigh at myself before gently placing my hand on Blue's arm to get his attention. He flinches again and I mentally cringe for some unknown reason. "Blue, can you take me to Max? I need to know what's going on", I quietly ask. Blue shudders before reluctantly nodding, leading me further down the hall.

     More people trail behind the three of us as we keep walking. If this Max person has taken my spot, then I should be doing something. But why do I suddenly now care if anyone is upset? I never poked into other people's business before, beyond just a few rules. People have gotten into arguments and beat each other senseless before now. I didn't care as long as no one killed each other. And those fights only rarely went that far. Most of them were 'group training' or 'last one standing' fights anyways. Of course people have been slightly afraid of me sometimes. There's always fear from someone's who is stronger then you. But Red is terrified of Max, and he was never afraid of me. I don't understand what's going on, or why I should care. I could feel more things from just being near my amulet, but now that I'm wearing it, everything seems weird.

      Blue stops at the big double doors to the food area before ducking beside me and peeking over my shoulder. I don't bother pushing him off, or at least that's what I tell myself. "Max is in there", Blue mumbles. I quickly push aside my thoughts and put on a poker face before kicking open the doors. I only take a few steps inside before freezing. Sub is hanging upside down from the ceiling by one leg. I'd be more curious about what's going on, but my new found emotions decide to act first. I quickly launch one of my daggers at the rope holding him up. Sub flails around in the air before I catch him. The mute looks scared and a little dazed, but signs 'I'm glad that you're back' with is hands. I wordlessly put him on the ground before getting up and stepping in front of him. You didn't think that my knife was gone now, did you?

A buff guy wearing mostly black is now pinned to the wall, with my dagger through the fabric of his shirt collar. He stands a little taller then me, with fiery red hair and a golden 'Z' necklace. He seems entirely unconcerned at my sudden appearance. This must me Max. "So you must be Sky. I've heard a lot about you", Max smiles while pulling my dagger put of the wall. Everyone is afraid of him, but his eyes seem..... empty. My usual cockiness in gone when I ask, "What are you doing here?". "I thought anyone was welcomed to come here? And you just so conveniently happed to be gone when I decided to make my own rules. 'You're suppose to beat Sky if you want to be in charge' 'You can't make us do what you want'. I'm a little surprised with how these idiots seem to adore you. Little Red even tried to fight me off. You can see how that went", Max laughs.

     I quickly glance behind me at Blue, who's now hiding behind Dan. Caring is going to be my downfall one day. Max rushes forward while I'm distracted and plunges my own dagger into my right shoulder. I spin around and snarl in rage, completely disregarding the searing pain. I tackle him to the ground before he can hit me again. My shoulder screams in protest as I punch Max in the face and kick the dropped dagger away.

"You know Max, we have three rules here", I huff out as we continue to trade off blows. "We don't torture our own", I say while shoving him off of me, "Loyalty around here is everything, we don't betray each other". Max growls at me and lands a kick on my bleeding shoulder, just managing to make me even angrier. "Do you know what the third rule is? Never go anywhere with only one weapon", I laugh, finally drawing my sword and holding it to his neck. Max freezes underneath me at the gleaming blade. "I should kill you...." I spit out at him. I really should. He came here, tried to take my place, and hurt the people under my care. But while he looks up at me, defeated and waiting for death....... stupid feelings.

     I move my sword away and kick Max one more time in the side. "Now get out of my sight. Never come back here", I growl at him while turning away. I hear him scramble to his feet and back away from me. "You're not going to kill me?", Max asks with....... disappointment? "Why are you still here? Do you want me to change my mind!", I yell back. "Kinda", he says. I don't understand. I sheath my sword and walk up to the red head. "What's the real reason you're here?", I lowly ask. "I've been looking for someone..... and they're not here. I thought he was, and then he wasn't. I thought that maybe I could make you all help me", Max sighs. "And you're willing to die over them? Who are you looking for?", I ask in confusion. "His name is Ross. My brother, and best friend. But he's not here".
