Game Over

1: Suprises and Confusions

It's dark, I can't see anything.

I'm running, for what purpose am I running?

I slow down and eventually stop, I try to find a light. Nothing...

"Where am I?" It's nearly a whisper

But no response, the silence is so damn loud.

What time is it? I think to myself, I don't have any memory of what happened before this.

It's so silent that I can hear the echo of my footsteps.
The beating of my heart.
I can hear myself in- and exhaling slowly but shaky.
(A/N: I'm literally cringing wtf is this help 😭)

I probably look like I'm blind, am I blind?
Maybe my dumbass is just walking through a parking lot, while the sun is shining.
Or maybe I'm just dreaming all of this.

I stop to witness my surroundings, my eyes have gotten used to the darkness.
I look down to see that I'm wearing a shirt and some cargo pants, its too dark to see which color.
At least now I can safely say that I'm not blind.

There is a flashlight in my pocket, I'm to scared to turn it on though.
The flashlight feels cold in my hands, it is certainly warm wherever I might be.

I try to find a wall or anything of that sort but am unsuccessful, I put the flashlight in my pocket, might come in useful later. I think...

I eventually lay down, my mind is curious, curious for the world outside. Even though I don't know where I am or how I got here. I could even be eaten by simply sleeping for all I know.
But even after knowing, and not knowing, all that I can feel are my eyelids slowly closing as I go off to sleep, hoping I survive till morning.

...

I open my eyes slowly, adjusting to the light of the sun, it's big and orange.

I look around me, I'm laying in an open field. I stand up and start walking.

It's getting warm quickly. As I look around me there are all different types of... landscapes?!
There's a forest, complete open space, buildings, and that kind of stuff.

Then I hear something behind me. I freeze where I stand, to scared to look behind me.
Quickly after I hear the sound of a knife going through flesh. Instead of looking behind me I run towards the buildings.

When I stop running I'm surrounded by unfamiliar buildings, I check my pockets.

They're empty... WAIT... SHIT THEY'RE EMPTY.

I look around me but only find a glass shard, I think it's not more then 20 centimeters.

I hear a ticking sound coming from above, I look up to see a weird bird looking like creature, it has purple that blurred into pink wings, with human hands attached to it, it has a fish like head with an antenna attached to it, and a purple body of a bird.
I'm guessing it's not much bigger than me...

"We call them Aphes."

I quickly grab the shard and take a few steps back when I turn around.

There's people standing in front of me, 4 to be exact.

A blond guy is the first to start talking, he has a light skin color: "Did you really need to scare him like that, Purple. Now he's scared of us, just look at him."

I probably look idiotic, about to fight 4 different people. And I mean clearly different. The girl that the blond guy called "Purple" has a black afro and a darker skin color. The blond guy is the complete opposite.

"I think he looks cute." A girl says, who looks exactly like the girl next to her, both have a tan and straight, brown hair. The only difference is that one has short hair and the other has her hair in a high ponytail but even then her hair comes till underneath her shoulders.
Twins...

All 4 are wearing the same outfit as me, a white shirt and black cargo pants.

So called Purple has weird orange stuff on her shirt.

Apparently she sees me looking bc she coldly says:
"It's blood. The orange stuff is blood. But it's not from a person don't worry." She gives me a small smile.

I stay on my guard and finally have the courage to talk to them "How am I sure I can trust you. Also you (I point at Purple) are literally holding a knife and have blood on your shirt, and the rest of you are probably also armed."

"I mean it is tr-" one of the twins says, but the rest is muffled since the other twin put their hand on the others mouth and smiles.

When she removes her hand, she says: "what my lovely little sister tried to say, was that we don't wish to hurt you. Plus, we saved your ass back at spawn."

"WE ARE LITERALLY THE SAME AGE, JUST BECAUSE I'M LIKE NOT EVEN 3 CENTIMETERS SHORTER THAN YOU, DOESN'T GIVE YOU ANY RIGHT TO CALL ME SHORT OR LITTLE." The other twin says in response.

"Can you all shut up, It's getting annoying." The blond guy says.

The Purple girl sighs, then looks at me "you know what. We can't force you to do things so I'll leave the decision to you... you either come with us or die trying to survive Take-Hour."

I decide to not argue further, but I do have questions.

"Fine I'll come, but what the heck is "Take-Hour"? Also, what did you mean with saving my ass? And what is Spawn?"

"1. Don't ask to many questions, just wait and they'll be answered quickly enough.
2. There was a Malrin, it's a ground animal kinda looks like a bear and a bunny but a crossover of those two. It was trying to kill you at spawn, where you woke up, we saw it and I killed it quickly. But instead of turning around and seeing us helping you, you kinda ran away." Purple explains

"SHIT, PURPLE WE GOTTA MOVE." The blond guy says quickly with a bit of stress in his voice.

"Follow us... errr... you" one of the twins says, and quickly after that they all start running.

"Black, what is the closest station?"

"Probably FONC." A guy says, I quickly look at him to see he has a tan and has black hair, he is quite handsome not gonna lie. Though I quickly look away to focus on running towards... uhm... "What the heck i-"

I get cut off by him "Forest-Over-Night-Camp. Before you ask any dumb questions that give me even more of a headache,'

Now that's offensive I think to myself

"we know its not night most of the time but it sounded OK, also I didn't give it that name so don't blame me for how ridiculous it is." With that he looks at Purple who looks clearly offended.

But after that no one talks again since we're all trying to keep breathing or at least I'm trying to keep breathing, with that I realize that I'm in really bad shape. (Kinnie moment)

Worst way to end a chapter ;,) but who cares I was tired help

This is quite different from my other book so its not that good,
Also it's giving maze runner low key.
