•William's POV•

As leader of Nowhere, I have to keep everything and everyone in check. Though, heh, that is easier said than done I must say. I have more members of Nowhere than Selia has of Elsewhere, and on top of that, we have gained five new members. Two who hold the Duality Symbol upon them and the other three wear the Symbol of Midnight. Only one of the four is not as menacing like Issac or Hayden. Theo Haunting, Akio History, Hannah Glass, Kory Mirror and Dakshi Devil, very interesting names indeed. Where we left off at is where I had just explained our two rules, each member has only one which is very lucky to remember. Let us move onto the story, shall we?

Leading them to the living room, they hadn't spoken at all and I can understand why. I think I should explain what they look like so you have an idea.

The one named Kory had dark blue hair with the black substance on his face and on his shirt, he wore dark grey jeans that had holes and tears in them. Theo, however, reminded me of Pylo and Cora with his ghostly like appearance. The same black substance covered his eyes and his hands which were like claws, he wore a torn cloak and a torn shirt as well, his pants looked worn down and dirty like he had been thrown into the ground. Hannah had his dark black hair with hairpins in them, she wore a turtleneck sweater that seemed too big for her but she didn't mind it, she had a long skirt with stripes of electric blue, at the end of the skirt bore the Hourglass Symbol which was the same colour as the stripes which was interesting, she wore black leggings with the same stripes on them. Akio wore a pure white suit and a light grey tie with white pants to match, he had blond-ish grey hair with a black fedora with a single dark grey stripe on it that bore the Symbol of Duality. And lastly, Dakshi. . . Where do I begin? For starters, he has the horns of a demon that dripped with the black liquid, as he has dark skin to match his appearance, he has pure black eyes with two purple slits in them as well as another set of eyes, he wore a pitch black cloak that hides the clothes under but I noticed a tail with blobs of the Midnight palette, he wore high heels with teeth embedded in them as well as Midnight Symbol.

"Where are we going?" Hannah suddenly asked, breaking the deafening silence between the six of us.

"Ah, I am glad you asked that. We are heading towards the living room, where you'll meet the other members of Nowhere." I answered, glancing back at her as we continued to walk.

"How many members are there?" Kory seemed to asked, standing next to Hannah in a defensive manner.

"A great question indeed, there are 17 members including all of you." I stopped as I stared at them all, "Everybody, Selia was correct, we indeed do have more members so introduce yourselves to them." A few nodded their head whilst others held a thumbs up, acknowledging me. I stepped off to the side as I saw Derrick stand up and stepped over to them.

"Derrick Duality, it is nice to meet you all."

"Nice to meetcha too." Akio said, smiling at him. Derrick drew back, a bit confused but nevertheless, he took slow steps and stood beside me.

"Derrick. . . You better try not anything with them, I know that you want to. . ." I whispered to him as I watched more people introduce themselves.

"You know me too well dear William, it's too bad that you won't be able to save them, just like Liam-"

"Derrick, must I remind you to not speak of that name. . . ?" I asked harshly, my grey irises becoming a grim shade of red.

"Most certainly not, my dear friend. I don't want to get you angry again, not like last time. Do you remember that time where you snapped at me and the others?" He grinned slightly with a malicious tone.

"Yes." Was all I answered as I watched the last person. . . No, that didn't seem right. Lylo is difficult to read and it doesn't help that he constantly wears that helmet upon his head. It's difficult to explain but it feels like there's more than a single entity in his body.

Lylo reached his hand out and firmly grabbed Theo's hand and shook it before letting go after a few moments.

"My new friends, it is your turn to introduce yourselves to these lovely people." I say, gently and kind and I motioned towards the oldest members.

Akio stepped forward and nodded his head, "I'm Akio History, I guess I bear the Symbol of Duality and I'm proud of that." He smiled and shrugged and walked back to wear he was standing originally.

Hannah immediately hopped to where Akio stood and smiled, "I am Dr. Hannah Glass, but please just call me Hannah." She walked back and smiled sweetly at Theo as he begrudgingly stepped up with a look of hatred in his face.

"Theo Haunting." Was all he said as he dragged the chains and himself to where he stood. The masked devil stood where he was and straightened himself up as he took a bow to all.

"I am Dakshi Devil and I proud to be here and call this lovely place my home." From underneath his mask, I could feel like he smiling at all of us. It made me feel anxious as the red in my eyes became a low shade of purple.

The last member, who gave me the chills stepped up and looked at all of us, "And I am Kory Mirror. . ."

"Thank you, I am sure you'll like it here in Nowhere. I must go for a little bit, Kayden, you are in charge while I'm away. Show them around please."

He nodded his head and smiled, "You got it boss. Come along now, we have plenty of places to visit while William's away." He began to lead them and the others left, all but Derrick and I.

"Where are you going, dear William?" He said with a monstrous smirk. I glared at him before I turned away.

"And why, of all people, should I tell you?"

"You're going to Elsewhere, aren't you? That's forbidden y'know. After all, Selia and you made the rule, not any of us."

"That is why I'm going by myself so please go back to your own chambers and stay there until I have returned."

"Whatever you say William." Derrick walked away before stopping, "You don't trust Dakshi and neither do I. He's might be a danger to both Nowhere and Elsewhere but we need to find out more about him." And with that, he left.

[. . .]

I have no experience with living in Elsewhere and it's just as confusing as it was the time before and before but. . . At least I have a little bit of memory to know where I am. And I was currently sitting in the UnLiving Room holding a cup of Elsewhere tea, as I looked at Selia.

"Okay, now tell me." She said, letting her members sit down or stand up. I nodded.

"You were indeed correct."

"Correct? How?" She said confused as she grabbed her cup of tea.

"We did indeed get new members."

"Whoa, congratulations! How many members?" She smiled as I smiled as well.

"Five." Was all I answered.

"And that brings you to. . ."

I chuckled and said, "Seventeen. They are certainly the most interesting members that I have ever gotten."

"Well, what are their names?" Cassy spoke up, and questioned me.

"Kory Mirror, Hannah Glass, Theo Haunting, Akio History and Dakshi Devil." Selia's face became sadden as she looked at me with her single eye.

"Another demon. . . ?"

"Yes and I fear he might be trouble, but I must know more about him than I'll decide what to do with him." She nodded her head.

"May a few of us meet them? I-I mean only four of us, myself included." I thought for a moment and looked at her with pale grey eyes.

"Who would you choose to go and meet them?"

"Parker is obviously going but other than him, I don't know who else to choose." She said, solemnly.

"How about they choose themselves?" I offered, and her sadden look faded away to make way for a more excited look.

"Yeah!" She turned her head to face the others and proceeds to ask, "I need two more people to come with me, who wants to go?"

Someone nudged a guy with golden and silver hair.

"Knowing Braxton, I think he should go."

"Thank you Cassy. Braxton, would you like to come along?" He only nodded his head with a face that I couldn't read properly. "Okay, who else?"

"I guess I could come along." Said another person with his hair tied up as he wore a long sleeve shirt that was obviously to big for him.

"Thank you ConCord." She turned back to me, "Shall we go now?"

"That would be ideal. Let us go now." I set my cup down and stood up. "Please lead the way Selia."

"Alrighty, come on you three!"

"Fine." Parker said softly as he stood up and began crawling after us with heavy hand-prints? Well anyways, we pressed on, those four eager to meet the new five members.

[. . .]

"Well. . . It's not as bad as I thought it would be. . ." I said grimly when I had entered Nowhere, and saw at least some fire and splatters of scarlet blood.

"I-It's usually worse than this?" Braxton asked nervously, eyeing the destruction that was in front of us.

"Oh yes, it usually is." I shook my head, "Derrick! Kayden! Issac! One moment please." I say to the others behind me. Braxton and Selia looked bewildered while Parker had a stone cold face and ConCord had a bored gaze. Derrick had walked out first holding Akio's hand for some reason and he didn't look happy, neither of them did. Kayden also stepped out, his hands raised in front of him with a guilty look. Issac only limped forward as I saw a huge gash in his leg, bleeding a lot.

"Issac, I'm sorry to have called you here. Please go get help for your leg." He nodded his head and calmly walked away with a slight limp in his calf. "Right. . . Kayden, Derrick. Explain to me what happened while I was away. . ."

"I'll explain. So basically what happened is someone decided to mess with Theo by grabbing one of his chains and wrapping around his throat. This set of a chain of reaction, in which only a few people got hurt."

"Who did it and who got hurt?"

"Theo, Issac, Neo and Hannah got hurt, as for who did it. . . It was Percy and Cora. . ."

"I see. Thank you, please make sure those who are hurt seek medical attention immediately."

"You got it boss." And like that, he left. I turned to look at Derrick.

"Now, explain to me why you are. . ." I motioned towards him holding Akio's hand and only said, "Doing this."

"I wanted to write a file about him but he kept leaving. You called my name right as I got him so I dragged him along." He answered, looking at him with a death glare.

"In my defense, I can get very distracted easily and this place is incredibly interesting-" He looked at us with a shocked look and soon waved his other hand, "Nice to see you again Terri."

"N-Nice to see you t-too. . . ?" Braxton said nervously and almost like a question.

"The others are here, I think that they would like to see you again." Akio said, lightly smacking Derrick's hand away from his. He let go, confused of course, and looked at the others.

"Maybe soon, we're here only for a short time."

"Ah, I understand that. Well, it was good to see you again."

"You as well. . ." Braxton said.

"Is that all, William?" Derrick asked, angry while he crossed his arms.

"Indeed, go now and do what you must Derrick." I answered. He left and so did Akio following after him, still happy for some reason. "Braxton, how do you know him?"

"I don't know him. I'm being honest though, he does look familiar."

"Thank you for telling me, now let us move along, I some fire to put out. . ."

[. . .]

"This has been great fun William! I hope to see you again soon and I hope that everything will be okay." I smiled at Selia, my irises a bright yellow.

"Thank you, and I hope to see you soon-"

"Tell Dangerous I said 'hey'!!" Issac yelled out, right beside my ear. . .

"Ow. . ."

"Sorry William."

Selia laughed and nodded her head, "I will. Goodbye Nowhere!" She waved her hand soon everybody left.

"Now that they're gone. . . Crime!! I will kill you both!" I shouted from behind me, looking at their nervous expressions.
