Difficult Decisions

Thoughts

Alex POV:

I walk through the doors. "What? I thought we were in Tomb Raider with whoever Lara Croft is." Sean looks at me like I killed Sam. "You don't know what Tomb Raider is?" I shrug. "Nope." A sign appears. You are special. No need to put you in a game. I have another challenge for you instead. I sigh. "Don't you love being called special. I'm guessing it has to do with weird shit like last time?" I'm not that cruel. "Sure you aren't." Fine then. "Hey! What am I?" I turn around to see Sean dressed as a leprechaun. "That's just racist." And cruel. "Noo, just racist. Not even funny racism. Just racist." Whatever. Sean's normal clothes appear again. "That's good. Now, what's the challenge?" Patience. "Uh, is that the challenge or are you telling me to wait for the challenge?" I can feel the sign face-palm. Really, really special. "Yup. Oh, what did you do with Lucifer? And Cry? They must be the oddball group. Ha." Shut up! My god are you annoying! "No thanks. Thank-you!" Mark walks up. "Hello. Oh, your The Author. From the video. Um, Danger  in Fiction Part 2 or something like that." He nods. "Follow me." He says in his weird voice. "Okay. Come on Sean, lets follow this untrustable person into the unknown." I put my hand over my mouth. I do talk way too much for my liking. So true. Stop reading my thoughts. No thanks. They are way more interesting. Lets see what I can find. Images of Sean and Cry appear. Not in my head, but on the wall of the room we arrived in. "Well shit. That's pretty much all you're going to find of them, if you're getting those images from my head." An image of a very graphic photo appears. Of Sean and Mark. Mark on top. I avoid eye contact with Sean, looking at the sign with embarrassment. "Uh, I didn't have that memorized. How did you find that?" Also looking at computer history of images including the two. "Oh, fuck. Please don't do that. I have way too many dragon pictures on there." I say, pleading. You have pictures of dildo's? "No! I mean actual dragons. You know, the flying lizard bird type mythical creature?" You don't want to see them? Oh, I see. Poor Cry. An image of Cry battling a dragon appear. "I'm such a nerd." The Author scares me by putting a hand on my shoulder. Well, that scared me. "Okay then. Why do you have multiple pictures of me and Cry on your computer?" Sean asks. Another picture appears of Mark kissing Georgia. It's playing out. "NO! PLEASE NOT THAT ONE!" It continues playing. I look for a plug or something that's projecting the screen. "Fine, play out. Sean, I beg of you not to watch. What's the challenge?" Let Sean watch this. Then you can go. "Second option?" You don't even think about it? "Have you watched it before you played it?" Just hold on. The video pauses. "What happens?" Sean asks curiously. "Well, it looks like the beginning of a sex scene or some shit like that, but it's not even close to that. It's more of a scary rape-murder-apocalypse. You don't want to see it in detail." He nods. "Where did you find that online?" I look down, blushing. "Itwasn'tonlineitwasinmyhead." I say quickly, hoping he doesn't understand. "Oh." Damn, he understood. Of course he did. Uh, that's disturbing. You imagined that happening? "Well, yeah. So that's what you get for going through my mind." I glare at the sign. "Let's go. Not like they can stop us." We walk through the door. I see Lucifer and Cry. Lucifer tackles me. "Hahaha, okay. Hello to you too, buddy." I say, petting Lucifer. "So Cry. What was your challenge?" He looks away. "To watch Lucifer's memory from the point where he met you to when he left with me." I look at Lucifer. "Hm, were you there when I changed? Once or twice." I look back up to Cry. "You do realize you could've walked out. The door was unlocked." Sean glares at Cry. "Sean? Why you angry?" He doesn't answer. Georgia's group runs through the door, followed by the other group. "Why hello." I stand up. "Lets go."
