Caine X Reader

Chapter 7

(801 words)
"Ragatha!" Caine called out to get her attention, she turned around "Oh hey Caine! By chance have you seen Jax anywhere he ran off, you know Jax" Ragatha said in a jokey manner and rolled her eyes "Well yes actually we did, he disrupted us a bit and, you know Jax, he ran off" Caine said and laughed at the end. "He said he was going to start a digital rebellion" you said looking at Ragatha like she had an answer to stop him. Pomni who was standing beside Ragatha had zoned out and was staring at the checkered flooring, she then absent-mindedly said "That sounds like something Jax would do... And I bet its gonna have something to do with me" Pomni sighs and then goes back to her own little world.

Meanwhile, Jax had ran off to find Gangle's group mostly just to mess with their nerves. Though since the circus tent was so big he found himself running around in circles which wasn't helping his already unstable mental state.

Back with Caine and Ragatha they were trying to come up with a plan to stop this 'Digital revolution'. "What do you think caused him to go all mental?" Caine asked before continuing "As I saw no change in him  before he abruptly shoved my body into the mouth of a lake monster" Ragatha paused to think... "Maybe the loss of  Kaufmo really got to him? I don't know but I do hope he's alright, I really really hope another friend of ours doesn't abstract again so soon". Pomni on the other hand looked less worried about Jax and honestly just wanted to get the adventure over with.

"So Dear, do you have any ideas?" Caine asked, it seemed he was trying to get you involved with every conversation he can. You shook your head "Nope, got nothing" You said replying to Caine. Caine softly huffed and muttered to himself "Now if I was a questionablely dangerous rabbit what would I do?" That made you giggle it was such a silly cliché thing to do when a character was in a muddle. Caine just looked a little confused at why you were giggling but just (like usual) thought it was a weird thing that humans do.

Then Ragatha spoke up "How about for now we just find Jax then once we see what he's doing we go after him." "That's a great idea Ragatha!" Caine stated confidently "...But where do you think Jax would be?" Pomni butted in "Well he seems to like annoying Gangle so maybe he's trying to find her" Ragatha nodded.

"Let's get going" Caine said as the group headed out to the main circus area before going into one of the random branching hallways. You stayed behind for a second to look at the scoreboard.  Gangle's group were still ahead of yours and Pomni's with a total of 3 stars. You then looked at the time... there was still 2 hours left before this whole 'adventure thing' was over. You didn't know why everyone else was in such a rush to find Jax since well you were kinda stuck here forever so why should we hurry to find him little did you know how much danger everyone was in.

Jax's POV

Ever since that newbie joined I feel slightly numb, it's like a fuzzy static feeling. I know what it is... it means I'm abstracting slowly yes, but it's still happening and I don't quite know why. Maybe because there's too many people in this 'game' so its trying to get rid of some of its data and I'm that data. I hope this is only temporary but... I can't control my thoughts all of them want me to be free from this digital world... this lifestyle without the life in it. I just hope that this ends because even as hellish as this place is I have a small sence of a growing family here. And that family should be allowed freedom. Their a nice family. It's nice. And even if I leave I hope it stays nice. Please. Don't let me torture you after death. Don't be sad if I leave. I'm meant to be the family burden anyway. I always was.

AN: Hey y'all sorry this taken so much time to do I kinda like forgot about it for a bit but I need to finish the story even if it kills me lol. Anyway thanks of 1k reads! That's actually really eye opening so I'll be sure to give you guys some more of this. And finally you maybe thinking where's all the stuff where we fall in love with Caine?
