"​Don't you like it?" The voice boomed, low and gravelly.

I backed up. Rausten planted his foot right where I stood a second ago. "H-how..."

He inspected his new body, holding his hands up to his face. "Not bad."

I started running. The grass made it hard to see. I forced my way through it, I couldn't afford to lose a second. I had a chance of outrunning it. If I could just change the code-

I felt a pair of fingers lift me up by my shirt.

"Where are you going?" He placed me on what was his palm. "You can't possily think you could outrun me, Val."

I shuddered. He knew my name, but I didn't want to ask how he knew. Instead, I asked him something else. I got up to my feet.

"What are you planning to do to me?"

"Nothing at all," He smirked, turning his gaze up to the night sky. "Natalie, was it?"

He chuckled. "She's a different story."

No. I couldn't let that happen. So I did something I would've never done. Preparing myself, I lept off of his palm.

He froze, stunned. He obviously didn't expect this. He tried to catch me, but in his current state, he was too slow. I landed next to a command block, grunting. The grass took most of my fall. Trying to stay concious, I tapped the cube; I started writing things in, replacing a few more; which took a lot more seconds than I wanted to. I didn't have a keyboard.

"NO!" Rausten's fist started to close in, trying to stop me. The the game froze.

His fist was inches away from my face.

He started breaking down. His arms disappeared, leaving me free to get up. I watched as the rest of his body faded away, taking my way out of with it.

I looked up. "... I'm stuck here." I was trapped. No way out. "Nat, leave. Tell my parents... nothing." I felt a tickle on my cheek. It was a tear, tracing its way down my face. "Thank you, for being my friend."

I couldn't see her, but I could imagine her crying as she left the room. She understood. There was a dark flash. Like something turned off. Probably the tablet, going off to sleep.

I was alone. They would never find me, and even if they did, there was no way out. Rausten

Alone?

I sat for a few hours, the last of my tears drying as the sun rose out of the sky. The sky was tinged red.

Red.

I got up. There was no point in staying here. Maybe, one day I could get out. I had to find my own way until then. I looked around. There was a part of a building sticking out of the fog. I took a few steps closer, and there were more.

A village. I started walking.
