~~~ (Y/N) POV ~~~

     I sat on my meditation mat. I reflected on myself, and my void, but this time, I looked deeper, as well as I could. As I looked into the void within myself, I watched, I waited, and I listened. After a moment, I found something. A voice, echoing throughout the emptiness. Anger, desperation, and a feeling of emptiness resonated through the void.

Haunting Voice: "Sooooo, empty. Soooo hungry. Neeeeed to eat. Neeeeeed to consume."

Haunting Voice: "Can't you feel it? Aren't you so hungry? So empty? Aren't you so hollow? Doesn't your hunger echo through you?"

     I felt an urge, an urge to just eat, and eat until I couldn't eat anymore, and then to eat even more. I am not empty, I do not need to eat.

Haunting Voice: "NO! You do, you need to eat! You need to Consume! You need to fill the void inside of you! Consume everything! Consume everything, so that I may consume you!"

     The voice started to fade as it went away. I opened my eye and let out a deep breath. Standing up, I heard the door to my room slide open.

Blue: "Come on, it's time to train some more."

     I turned to her and nodded.

(Y/N): "Okay, let's do this."

Blue: "By the way, White, Yellow, and I have decided it would just be easier to make a personal arena, so we now have one here in the palace."

     I followed Blue as she turned and walked away, going to the new arena. When we arrived, Blue stood at the far end of the arena, which was a larger size then the other arena, is it for Diamonds. I made sure to keep my aura suppressed, and I got into stance, when suddenly I heard the voice again.

Haunting Voice: "Oh, more food. Perfect, more food. If you don't use me, then I will use you. No matter what happens, in the end, one of us will be using the other."

     The voice chuckled as the edges of my vision turned orange. Blue had made her way toward me and kicked me. As I flew into the arena wall, I didn't feel anything, just, kind of empty.

(Y/N): "Wait!"

Blue: "Your enemies won't wait for you, you need to..."

(Y/N): "No stop! This is making it worse!"

Just as Blue had landed her second punch, I felt just a little bit less empty, but still very empty, my vision had gotten a little more orange with each attack.

Blue: "What?"

(Y/N): "The, Orange in my gem, I have new abilities, but I also have this voice now. It's like it is its own person and voice. It is absorbing the damage and getting stronger, if we keep going it's going to just get stronger."

Blue: "What?"

          ~~~ Wrath POV ~~~

Wrath: "So, Pride. Do you think Lust might be right? That they will turn down our offer?"

Pride: "Well, if they do, we have all the time in the world to try to recruit them, but they won't. Once they start to realize the truth, they will see that we are their only option."

Wrath: "Well, according to Envy, they have been through a lot. What if the voice isn't enough."

Pride: "It's one thing to go to hell and back. It's another to have a voice in your head that grows with you, telling you to do things, and if they have a lack of control, then that voice, is going to be able to do whatever it wants, and make it even harder for them to GET control. Trust me, they will come to us on their own. It's just a matter of time."

          ~~~ (Y/N) POV ~~~ 

     I was walking back to my room. Blue followed from behind.

Blue: "What do you mean it's getting worse? What are you going to do? Just run away, you can't just run away whenever you want."

(Y/N): "It's not about wanting to right now. I need to think about this, I want to get stronger, but this thing, I need to get a handle on it, find out how to keep it from getting stronger, because if it takes control then I don't know if I can get it back. You want me to work on control? Well I am doing the best I can, and if you keep coming at me, then I will lose the little control I have now. So I just need to think about this."

      I kept going as Blue stopped walking, standing still in the hallway. Yellow saw us and walked toward us, after seeing my face, and Blue standing there, she spoke up.

Yellow: "What happened? How was training?"

     I ignored her as I turned down a hallway to my door.

          ~~~ Yellow POV ~~~

     I watched as (Y/N) walked away silently. Blue continued to stand there silently.

Yellow: "Blue, what's wrong?"

Blue: "It's happening again. I am ruining everything. I am just making the situation worse."

Yellow: "What do you mean Blue? What is going on with (y/n)?"

Blue: "I don't know."

    Blue looked down. I sighed and turned around, heading to (y/n)'s room. One way or another, I am going to find out what happened. How dare they hurt Blue. It doesn't matter what is going on, they shouldn't be so harsh. I opened their door and saw them sitting on the floor.

Yellow: "(y/n)! I hope you know what you are doing hurting Blue like that!"

     I ran over to (y/n), and I reeled back my fist.

          ~~~ (y/n) POV ~~~

     I got up and turned around to see a yellow fist approaching me. In that moment, many things happened. My vision started to turn to a light orange again, I heard an echoing laugh in my head, the shaking of the palace from the angered steps from Yellow, and I heard Blue.

Blue: "Yellow no!"

     Thanks for the warning Blue, but it's too late. The fist crackled with lightning as it made contact with my face. Without my aura to protect me from the damage, my view went almost completely orange.

Haunting Voice: "Oh, delicious. Exquisite, filling, delectable violence!"

          ~~~ Yellow POV ~~~

     I let out a sigh, feeling better after letting out my anger. But then my relief turns into tension.

Blue: "Yellow! What have you done!?"

     I looked down at (y/n), who sat against the wall, arms limp on the ground as they chuckled manically. They lifted their head, revealing their gem to be completely orange.

??(y/n)??: "Why thank you very much. But it seems you won't be willing to feed me anymore, and while it could be entertaining,  I don't think I am quite in the mood to watch you consume each other. I will be off to meet with my brotheren, for now."

     What once was (y/n) spoke in a gravely voice, saliva constantely dripping from their mouth. They suddenly frowned.

??(y/n)??: "Hmm, I am sounding too much like brother Pride. Very interesting."

     And with that, they disappeared.

          ~~~ Pride POV ~~~

     I was sitting in my throne as I heard a crunch, and then a thud. I stood up when the doors to the throne room opened.

??(y/n)??: "Ah, good to see you brother. I see you brought some snacks outside."

Pride: "I didn't see this coming. Welcome home brother. Glad to see you are alive and kicking."

??(y/n)??: "Oh, unlike our hosts, we can't die, not truly. Although I do have to say that unfortunately, Vlad is really dead, dead. But I, I live on."

Pride: "Oh? That is interesting to hear. Glad to have confirmation though. Welcome back Gluttony. I am sure you have taken a liking to this host."

Gluttony: "Oh yes. They have so much power. It feels so liberating."

Pride: "Gluttony, are you okay."

Glut/n): "I can't tell. W-where, am- No, I refuse to go!"

     The orange gem eye started to fade to black as Gluttony started to look confused and dazed.

(y/n): "..W-where am I? What, happened."

    They seemed to have not noticed me yet. I sighed and stood up, grabbing the sword by the side of my throne.

Pride: "I do hate to be ignored."

     I raised the sword to swing it down when something happened, something that has never happened before. They caught the blade.
