Soooooo got inspired by a few other people's oneshots and stuff and >:3

(And no I'm still not doing shipping/yandere stuff, I know that's usually what people do with the concept of stalkers here but I'm doing it so it's a 'seriously crazy fan of the person' type of way. No ships. Thank you :>)

This takes place at a point where Sabre re-enters the timeline after the whole resetting it thing. For a while, everything is normal, and Sabre is just living his life in the village that once held the Unnamed with Time. Green Steve visits often, both being close to people in the village and having a trading system with people there. Sabre is occasionally called in to meetings with the Leaders and Light, representing that village, as its population has grown extremely ever since Sabre came back.

However... strange things have started happening around Sabre.

At first, it was just strange occurrences, like a few of Sabre's less important things such as a book he was reading or a sketch he did going missing. Sometimes he would even walk into his room to find the window cracked open slightly, or a few very small items scattered on the floor, and Sabre is sure he didn't leave them like that. Time notices the weird things as well, but they both shrug it off and not think much of it.

Then, it escalates. Sabre can't shake the feeling of being watched a majority of the day. Time sometimes notices something move far behind Sabre in places like the woods around the village or outside his window at night, as if something was running away quickly, not wanting to be seen. Whenever they leave to do something, then come back, when they get home it's almost as if something... moved items around the house slightly, like a few books out-of-place or a cup being on one side of the counter when they left, but it on the other side when they come back. 

More small items of Sabre's have disappeared, but things have also started appearing; New flowers in the front garden, resources like iron bars or new tools suddenly in Sabre's supply chests in his room, strange, new freshly picked flowers replacing ones already in a vase in the house, these flowers unlike any the two know... Sabre and Time are uneasy now.

These occurrences are brought to the attention of Light and the Leaders when not only do important items of Sabre's, like one of his spare green hoodies or a journal, go missing... but one night as they're heading back from a meeting, with Light by their side, Light sees someone following them and points it out. As soon as they hold up their lantern to get a better look, though, the unknown person runs away. Sabre and Time are obviously scared, and when they get back to their house they tell Light about what's been happening recently.

So, it's confirmed... Sabre has a stalker.

The Leaders are very worried about this after being told the next day, as they do not want harm falling on Sabre, and they don't know the stalker's intentions. M and the Orange Leader are most worried, as they're both close with Sabre. They decide that for now, they'll just have to keep a closer eye on what's happening around Sabre, hoping to catch the stalker early since it hasn't gone too far.

Well... they jinxed it. That very night, Time and Sabre get home from the meeting and going around doing errands. Time stays downstairs, working on training Leaf (who has been living with the two for months now, since Time didn't want to leave Leaf in his dimension) to be kind of a guard dog (like the good doggo Leaf is :3).

Sabre goes up to his room, wanting to relax after a long day. However, when he opens his door, he's immediately frozen in shock.

One part of the window is completely open, the wind blowing the curtains around, and leaves fall into the room from outside and are scattered all around the room's floor. The unopened side of the window has a paper with an unsettling smiley face drawn on it, taped to the window from the outside, a handprint on the glass next to it. Sabre's desk has the books on it all strewn around the wood, and Sabre notices a few books and sketchbooks are missing. Finally, there is a bundle of the strange flowers placed on the center of his bed, bound in a crimson, almost blood-colored ribbon.

As you can imagine, this is a big, major NOPE from Sabre. He quickly slams his door shut and calls for Time.

As for how the rest of the story progresses, I was thinking that it could be kind of a 'stereotypical' stalker story, with all the often-used plot points. Y'know the ones, creepy notes, more random 'gifts' and stuff being taken (mebbe stealing of the blindfold? :3), his close friends getting threats (*ahem*GreenSteveMandTime*ahem*), more break-ins, getting chased down and just reaching his friends before the stalker gets him, more spottings from the window/in the woods/around the village maybe, spooky-as-frick drawings being taped to his window from the stalker, the stalker following him to other Kingdoms eventually when the Leaders decide Sabre's not safe in the village...

(MaybethestalkercouldberevealedaftertheykidnapthetraumaboyhinthintImeanhuh-)

As for who the stalker is, I'm gonna leave that up to the person who claims! Could it be a random Chromatic? A crazed Violet Steve (because people like that one apparently)? A Steve that's been looking up to Sabre for a very long while, and corrupted themselves with power in hopes of being like him or getting close to him, similar to the case of Rainbow Red? A throwback character from another series that has a new role here? An entirely new character created by the claimer? Who knows! I'm excited to see what they come up with :)

...I seriously want someone to claim this fast, you have no idea how badly I want this to be a book cuz I'm an absolute sucker for suspense-horror stuff and 'main character got kidnapped' story arcs-
