## Backstory

### Chapter 1- Cobalt

I was helping Indigo with ideas and stuff again but I knew I should've been painting. I love spending time with my siblings, but.. this was boring, so boring I could all asleep. I don't like being distracted from my work, and for what? To make sure Indigo doesn't hurt himself? He knows a lot better than that, for a 5-year-old. "Cobalt? Could you get that for me?" He points to something he calls a 'back-saw' on a shelf. "Sure." I mumble.

"Can we go out to the waterfall?" I say after a couple of minutes before grabbing a stool to get the saw. "Alright.." says Indigo with a wistful look at the tools. "What are you even making?" I ask, running outside quickly. I see Sky holding our baby sister, Sapphire, who was only one, and playing in the water with Ultramarine while Aquamarine acted like she was too old for playing games.

"Come on!" I shout to my little brother. "Coming! I just have to get these tools away.." there was a crashing sound, and then a loud, "CRAP!" Sky looks through the window. "Don't say that." he says in a voice just like how you'd talk to any other five-year-old. I find my seat by the waterfall and pull a small canvas and a couple of pencils out my bag, letting the water spray my arm. The sound of the water is relaxing, and it inspires me. The world fades around me as I focus completely on creativity and my artwork. I begin sketching guidelines for a head.

Our mother pokes her head out of the door. "Come on, kids!" she says. "Dinner!" I don't realize how long it's been. Sky had taken Sapphire inside and Indigo and Ultramarine are kicking the water and staring into it. "Alright!" Midnight says in her usual calm voice. I reluctantly put down the canvas and packed up my pencils, getting up from my spot by the waterfall. I walk inside and find that we're having nothing special for dinner- just ramen- and that Sapphire is refusing to eat. "Come on, Starlight." says Midnight trying to get her to eat. Ultramarine was picking at their food, and Aquamarine was alre ady finished and asking their father for more. I sit down next to Sky and across from Indigo. Indigo rushes over to the sink and drops his dish in before going to his workshop and shutting the door. As often happened, I now heard Indigo calling for someone taller than him to get a tool. "I'll be there in one minute!" I called.

I finish my plate and head to Indigo's workshop. There was no real machinery in there, not yet, but the floor was coated with sawdust and I was thankful I wore my shoes. Indigo was standing on a chair and trying to reach a hammer. He knows very well that he can't work until someone is watching him, and he couldn't read yet, but this kid was pretty mature for his age. "I'll get it." I grab the hammer from it's spot on the wall and hand it to him.

### Chapter 2- Ultramarine

I set up my hats in a line. It was a small collection, but I love them. I am weaving a 35th hat at the moment, when Sapphire stumbles into my room. She only just learned to walk, soI pause what I'm doing to pick her up an place her onto my bed. The baby looks at my progress with disdain. "Bweh." she says in a disgusted tone. "Oh, come on!" I say. "The hats aren't *that* bad.. are they?" She makes a happy squeak at s smaller purple hat and puts it on her head. It falls over her face. Before Sapphire can start crying, I remove the hat and pick her up, her little midnight dress swishing. A loud pounding noise comes from the next room, which is Indigo's workshop. Indigo is only five, but he's really smart for a five-year-old and somehow became skilled in using woodworking tools to make himself toys. "INDIGO! OW!" comes a yell. Our older sister, Cobalt, was supervising Indigo again.

I wrestle Sapphire to stay in my grip so she won't get hurt as we enter the workshop. "What happened?" I asked mildly. "Nothing!" said Indigo. Cobalt was standing in the corner with a furious look and a bandage around her wrist. "He used his saw on me." says Cobalt, like that happens all the time. Sky pops his head in, and soon every sibling is in the workshop and wondering what happened. I give Sapphire to Sky because she won't stop squirming and I can't hold her. Aquamarine, my sister, takes a peek in, sees Cobalt in a bandage and comes up to me. "What happened." she asks in an aggressive tone. "Indigo accidentally tried to cut off her hand." We laugh for a minute and then Aquamarine goes completely furious again and goes up to Indigo. "Be *careful*." She seethes. "It was an accident..." says Indigo. I sit there for a moment and then Midnight says something about cool stars and the waterfall. She leaves the shop to go outside and I leave to go back to my hats.

Cobalt follows me into the room to watch me make the hat. "Can you make me one to paint?" she asks after a second. I don't know whether to feel panicked or proud or both. "M-make? I.. you wouldn't like it..'' She pats me on the head with her good hand. "Okay. That's alright, I suppose.." she says. She continues to watch me weave the new hat. Mom pokes her head in. "Ultramarine, bedtime." I out away my hats reluctantly and let Cobalt tuck me in. "Night." she says. I can feel myself relaxing, and before I know it, I'm asleep.

### Chapter 3- Aquamarine

The floor was scorching. I knew this because I had fallen out of bed an onto my eye. I didn't scream or anything, that would be baby-ish, but it hurt *so badly..* I try to make my way to the freezer to get an ice pack. But it was hard only seeing with one eye. She stumbled back to her room and saw orange flicker out of the corner of her eye. *Oh, no.. Oh my God..* That's why the floor was so hot.

"SKY!" she screamed, jumping on top of her brother. "There's fire! Get everyone up, come on!" she dragged her brother out of bed. He was bewildered but listened. Aquamarine was sent to get the younger ones, like Indigo and Sapphire. She was horrified to see Sapphire on the floor, and the baby already was crying and had burns on her face and feet and hands. I picked her up, burning my palm and screeching, before getting the door open to Indigo's room and getting him out. Midnight had gotten Ultramarine out of the house. I sighed in relief and shoved Indigo out of the window. He tumbled the three feet down, but ended up being fine. I jumped out, too, but I was careful because of Sapphire. I ended up tripping over my shoulder, somehow, and got another burn.

Sky was counting. "We're missing someone.. wait.. MOM!" I stand in shock. That was my fault. I should've gotten Sky *and* Mom awake. I don't have time to be sad, because I wanted to be mad. Mad at the fire, mad at myself, mad at everything. "Is everyone alright?" asks Cobalt. I snorted. "Yeah. 'Alright'.' Cobalt and Sky continue head-counting us until we're sure we're all there and then we grab whatever we can get and start dumping water inside of the house. *Trust the waterfall. It'll always deliver.* I had thought, for no apparent reason.

The fire was out and we called someone to help Mom, who we found, really burned bad in her bedroom. My fault, my fault, my fault. I couldn't have despised myself more than I did now. Sky was staring into nothing, and by the look on his face, I could already tell that our Mother was probably dead. He hugs me and I start to cry. I hated crying, I hated it with all my heart. Crying was for the weak. But our mother was dead and our house was half-burned-down and I really needed to cry right now. Angry tears. I sniff. "St-stupid fire.. stupid burned house. stupid everything!" I push away my brother and kick part of a broken vase, strangely melted, probably by the heat.

Although we'd all been expecting it, the news still hit hard. Our mother was dead. I was so scared of getting separated, too.. But the people said since Cobalt and Sky were 20 and over, we could stay together. That reassured me a lot. But I could still feel my hands balling into fists as I think of what happened. Dumb me. Dumb fire. Dumb doctors. I hated them all, with all my heart. I loathed everything. Even Sapphire seemed to understand, when the doctor told us. She clung to Sky and shrieked, "MOMMA! MOMMA!.." She was crying so hard she was vibrating, and she was almost 2. That made me hate everything even more. She never had to go through that. None of us did. But now we're motherless and we have to repair the burned part of the house, aka the first floor and Indigo's workshop. Within less than 5 hours, our lives changed for the worse forever.

That night (or early morning), I sat by the waterfall with Midnight as they pointed out different stars. But I wasn't listening. I looked way up to all of the stars and vowed to never let anything happen to my siblings *again.*

### Chapter 4- Midnight

I'm worried about Aquamarine. She wouldn't respond when I asked her about what she was looking at. I tapped her shoulder. "Starshine, what is it? Are you alright?" Aquamarine gave her a look, eyes so filled with anger I almost fell into the waterfall. "Do I *look* alright!?" Aquamarine cried, furious. "Somebody *set* that fire! I know it! I'm gonna kill them. I will and I will *not* hesitate." She doesn't mean that. She can't mean that, Aquamarine would never really *kill* someone. I hope. She continued fantasizing threats and gorey stuff that made me scared. I just.. don't like death. Which might be her reason for more. She's having trouble dealing, just like I am.

I tucked everyone in that night. Sky wasn't responding to anybody and Cobalt was painting and crying at the same time. Indigo didn't respond either, when I first knocked on his door. "Go away.." he'd said. "Look, Indigo, I know that your tools are gone.." He sighed as I opened the door. "Wh-why.. why did that have to happen?" he asked, after I walked inside. "I don't know, little star." I said, emotion choking up my voice. "I-I don't know.." He hugs me.

After I'd gotten Indigo into bed, I went to Ultramarine's room. As I walked across the hall, I realized that we were only still alive because of our second-floor bedrooms. Except Aquamarine's room. She begged for it to be downstairs when she was 9 because she could 'protect the house from robbers'. I guess she did kind of save us. "Ultramarine?" I knocked on their door. "Can I come in?" Silence, and then, "..Sure.." The reply is full of sadness. I go into the room. "It's going to be alright.." I say. "B-but what if," Ultramarine sniffs, "What if they separate us?" The idea to me, too, was horrifying. But I knew that they wouldn't. Cobalt and Sky had well-paying jobs, and I could start helping them with things like groceries, even if I couldn't pay for the house. "Shhhh.. they won't do that." Ultramarine looks up. "Are you sure..?" I smile half-heartedly. "I'm sure."

## Random Trivia

* Sapphire actually remembers the pain and the heat of the flames.. somehow.. and that's the reason of her intense pyrophobia.
* Z
* Ultramarine fell into some kind of depression for 2 years after the fire. They're better now.
* If you're wondering about their dad and where he was during the fire, he was dead. But he divorced their mother and left the family a year before the fire so they don't know he's dead, the siblings just don't care to reach out to him.
