Six explained everything that happened, from when she fainted and woke up from the Janitor's place, how she met Seven and such. Seven also shared some details about what happened.

"And then the Janitor left us," Six said as Twenty-Three and Mono looked at each other, "We heard that from him. He was going to the Lady."

Six's mouth dropped as she stopped, "What? He was going to the Lady? That... That's so... different."

Twenty-Three shrugged, "We went to tons of different places. This," she said while waving her hand around the hall, "Is differen-"

Twenty-Three yawned, and she covered her mouth, "Sorry, didn't have a rest since... Well, ever."

Mono turned to her, "That's actually a nice idea," he then looked at Seven and Six, "You guys would be fine with that, right?"

Six nodded, "Yeah, a rest would be nice. We should also get some food," Six said as a slight grumble came to her stomach.

Seven smiled at her, "Yeah, that's sound like a plan. Mono and I would get food and you two find a spot," he said while kissing Six's cheek.

Twenty-Three choked when Seven gave that sudden affection, "Ummm. Excuse me did we miss an important detail in your little 'once upon a nightmare'?"

Six blushed, "Uh... Yeah.... About that....,, Seven and I..... We're kinda a thing.... You know.... Boyfriend girlfriend."

The other two stared at them, both had their jaws dropped. Slowly, Twenty-Three grinned as she covered her mouth to squeal loudly, "YES!"

Six raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean, 'Yes'?"

Twenty-Three jumped and kept squealing, "Oh my god! OH MY GOD!"

Mono rolled his eyes as he let out a low grumble before pinching Twenty-Three's cheek, "Chill the flip out."

Seven leaned back, "Don't tell me you've been shipping us since-."

Twenty-Three shook her head, "Nah nah. It's either you're blind, or you're an idiot when you don't notice that MOST PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD LIKES THE TWO OF YOU TO BE TOGETHER!" She squealed the last part.

Author: I was tempted to make that a fourth wall break joke.

Mumu: Isn't it already one?

"So you do ship us," Seven summed up while nodding, "Funny I ship you and Mono."

"What?" Twenty-Three asked while tilting her head.

"Nothin, nothin," Seven said.

Mono cleared his throat, "Anyways, let's go find a place to rest and some food," he said and Six nodded along with him, "Yep, that would be suffice," she said.

Twenty-Three nodded then turned, she looked around and saw a far off corner of the hall. She moved a tad bit to see the stairs too just beside it. She smiled and turned to them, "Ladies and gents. I believe I found a place."

The four went to the corner and Twenty-Three sat down, sighing as she leaned on the wall, "Finally after all those wheck we've...... been..... throu....g....h...." she said while yawning as she shifted to a more comfortable position and drifted to sleep.

Six blinked when Twenty-Three started to snore, "She must be very tired."

Mono shrugged, "We haven't got any rest yet, oh well, Seven and I will go now," he said and walked off. Seven smiled at Six, "Take care."

Six nodded, "You too."

"Seven!" Mono called and Seven once again kissed Six's forehead before walking off.

==================

.: Seven's P.o.V. :.

"So... You and Six huh?" Mono said amused while raising a hidden eyebrow. The two walked along the halls, searching for any food just in case someone would go in a hunger strike *cough* Six *cough*

Seven looked at Mono and to the floor, why am I not liking where this is going?

Seven chuckled dryly, "Yeah. Kinda surprising huh?"

Mono shrugged, "I kinda expected it. After all, for all these years Six treats me like a brother, and I treat her like my little sister."

Seven continued to awkwardly look for another place, his 'I'm not liking this meter' going nearly full.

"Yeah, she always told me about it," Seven said while chuckling, Mono also chuckled before he rose his ladle and placed it just under Seven's chin. Seven gulped as he felt the cold steel under his chin.

"Now, I really like you. You'll do good for Six," Mono said and his voice lowered to a growl, "But hurt Six and I'm gonna rip your throat out. Got that clear?"

With that hidden glare Mono gave, Seven still felt it and was totally shooked, he nodded, "Yes sir. I will never hurt her sir!"

"You swear you won't?" Mono asked.

"I swear with my life," Seven said.

Mono lowered his ladle and he smirked under the bag, "Good," and he laughed a bit, "Man I liked the look on your face!"

"You just threatened me, and you were giving off the protective brother vibe, I got shooked okay?" Seven said and Mono shook his head, "We're still friends though right?"

"You just tipped me a warning, we're cool," Seven said and they walked on.

"So," Seven said and turned to Mono, wriggling his eyebrows, "How are you and Twenty-Three going?"

Mono raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean, how are we going? We're alive and surviving from this nightmare, that's for sure," he said.

Then Mono tilted his head, "But if you mean relationship way? Nah, we're just friends. Unlike you and Six," he pointed out.

Seven sighed, "I see this as a lost ship."

"Ship?"

"Nothing, let's go," Seven said and walked on to find food hidden hopefully in the crates or boxes.

==================

.: Twenty-Three's P.o.V. :.

Twenty-Three was still sleeping soundly, Six fixed the place Twenty-Three was sleeping on to make her comfortable a bit.

Now that Twenty-Three was lying on the floor with a makeshift pillow. A nightmare came into her subconsious.

Twenty-Three felt cold. Finding out her eyes were closed, she opened them. But there was nothing to see but darkness. Even if it was dark, she could see herself. Looking around, Twenty-Three shrugged and wandered the empty void.

She kept walking until a single light shown, Twenty-Three looked up to see a swing. The same kind of swing she was always perched on back at the Circus.

The swing slowly decended. Twenty-Three squinted and saw a child on the swing.

'We meet...' a ghastly voice that was melodic and hauntingly the same as Twenty-Three if she kept on whispering echoed through the void. Twenty-Three looked around, "Who are you?"

The voice scoffed.

'Who am I?'

'WHO am I?'

The swing stopped it's ascend and Twenty-Three looked up to see a child standing on the swing, smirking at her.

Twenty-Three stumbled back when she saw the doll "You... You look like me!"

She was right, since the child was like as if Twenty-Three was standing on a mirror. It had her hair, her star clip, her cloak, everything. The only thing that made this child different was she had a body of a doll.

The doppleganger Twenty-Three giggled, 'Of course I will look like you. After all, I AM you.'

"What?" Twenty-Three asked confused.

Doppleganger Twenty-Three hopped off the swing with amazing grace. She made her way for Twenty-Three and knelt down to Twenty-Three's fallen form.

'I guess it's the first time we meet. Even if the Joker put me in your head after all,' the doppleganger's voice continued to echo around the void, 'I'm Doll Twenty-Three, I'm pleased I finally meet you.'

"The.... You're my curse? The one the Joker casted on me?" Twenty-Three asked and Doll Twenty-Three giggled, 'Yes, smarty-pants!'

'The way you stabbed the Hunter's eye? Oh I felt the pain!' Doll Twenty-Three shivered in pleasure, 'And don't get me started with the blood!'

Twenty-Three slowly crawled away, "You are insane."

'Honey, I'm your curse after all,' Doll Twenty-Three said and her eyes glowed, giving off a lavender glow, 'You can never escape me, Twenty-Three. You'll need me to fight the Shadow Man. I'm actually doing you a favor, even if I don't normally do that.'

"A favor?" Twenty-Three asked, "Then what do I owe you?"

Doll Twenty-Three waved her hands dismissively, 'Oh no need to bother about that!' She said and placed a hand on Twenty-Three's shoulder, it was cold and plastic.

Suddenly, the black particles started to swirl around them, Twenty-Three looked at all of them with fear. Doll Twenty-Three grinned as she opened her mouth.

"Four children will answer the call...

Before the winds take them all...

Hunger or pain shall end the quest...

But this is not the end of the test..."

Twenty-Three's head hurt when Doll Twenty-Three said those words. "W-What? What is that? What do you mean?" Twenty-Three asked yet Doll Twenty-Three smiled, "Wake up, Twenty-Three."

"Wake up, Twenty-Three!"

Twenty-Three jolted awake, panting as she tried to regulate her breath and steading her heartbeat. She looked around to see Mono and Seven with food and Six muching on some of them, there was also a fire, and blankets laid around.

Six looked at Twenty-Three with concern, "Are you okay?"

Twenty-Three nodded, "Yeah... Yeah I am... Just a wierd dream," she said as she massaged her temples.

"What was it?" Mono asked and Twenty-Three looked down while shivering a bit, "I..."

Six smiled comfortingly while placing a hand on Twenty-Three's shoulder, "You can tell us later. Mono and Seven found food! You hungry?"

Twenty-Three then noticed the pile of food and she nodded, "Sure," she mumbled as she grabbed another apple and bread taking a bite, "Where did you find these?"

Mono shrugged, "In a student's lunch box. They don't eat much anyways."

"The students here looks wierd. It's like as if they are dolls," Seven said.

"Well, they are dolls. The Broadcaster make someone create the dolls, and bam," Mono said, "They are born. They take the intellect the Sadistic Teacher gives them and they'll slowly be 'upgraded' to Viewers."

Six tiled her head, "Viewers?"

"The citizens of the City," Mono explained.

Twenty-Three heard nothing that. Munching her apple, her head pounded and ringed as Doll Twenty-Three's words came back to her.

"Four children will answer the call..

Before the winds takes them all...

Hunger or pain will end this quest...

But this is not the end of the test..."

"What?"

Twenty-Three didn't notice she mumbled the words out loud and her three best friends stared at her baffeled. She pursed her lips and blinked, "What?"

Mono leaned closer to Twenty-Three and Six, "What were you saying, Twenty-Three?"

Twenty-Three took a deep breath and stared at the fire, "I had a dream... a nightmare actually."

"Yeah, we know about that one. Will you tell us about it?" Seven asked and Twenty-Three looked at him, "I think I should."

Twenty-Three told them about her nightmare... Well some part of it. Meeting a curse would not bode well for everyone. She just told them she met a little girl who looked like her and gave her some sort of... warning.

"Can you say that warning again?" Mono asked and Twenty-Three sighed, reciting the lines once again.

"Four children will answer the call...

Before the winds take them all...

Hunger or pain shall end this quest...

But this is not the end of the test..."

Seven whistled, "That sound rhyme-y and terrifying."

"Remember what Rodger said?" Mono asked Twenty-Three as he ignored Seven's remark.

Twenty-Three tilted her head as she tried to remember, "He said they once said four childrn would stop the big black shadowy guy..." and her eyes widened as she looked at Mono.

"Was it... Was it a prophecy?"

Mono nodded grimly, "I think it is."

Six and Seven looked as confused than ever as they watched the two like a tennis match, back and forth and back and forth.

Seven held out his hand, "Hold on time out time out. Who is this big black shadowy guy?"

"The guy taking over this whole nightmare world."

××××××××××××××××××××

I DIDN'T MEANT TO ADD A PROPHECY, BUT YEAH I MADE UP MY MIND.

I felt proud when I wrote that, especially the rhyming, loved it.

I suddenly feel like an Oracle heheh...

Oh welp, bye!
