The Entity

Chapter 2: The Experiment

After learning more about the Entity, I was always paranoid about everything, like a pencil dropping. Could something like that cause the Entity to come? Such a thing won't be able to summon the Entity. I was just thinking too far.

It was time for school again. I woke up and dressed myself up with some shabby clothes and went to school. I was all happy and then...

"OH SHOOT! My test! On crafting! Uh oh..."

So that's how my morning started. I rushed onto the Minecart before it departed to get to school. By the time I was there, I almost had a panic attack. It was insane how much I freaked out over a little Crafting test. At least I had another class to go before Crafting class: science. In science we were studying block physics and properties, like leaves disappearing without wood and gravel falling down. Suddenly when I walked into the classroom, I find a big surprise - the tables were separated and everyone had test dividers! If only my luck could be a bit better. I had a science quiz and I totally forgot what we learned thanks to Entity.

I thought to myself: if I ever get to see you Entity, I will crush you. Thanks to you, I failed my science quiz!!!

Just then, the bell rung and class started. Our science teacher handed out the test papers. I tried to recap what happened in the last few classes and sure enough, I remembered nothing. I was screwed. Once I received the paper, I immediately started filling in my name and looked at the first question. What destroys falling sand and gravel? It was at that moment I knew that a 60 was reasonable for how little I remembered. I mean, if you think on the bright side, a 60 means you got over half the test right. And that means you remembered -

I was suddenly interrupted by a loud siren. This was nothing like the bell. It had a police siren noise, and everyone started freaking out over it. Over the intercom, there was a loud announcement.

"EVERYONE. HE IS HERE. YOU HAVE NOWHERE TO HIDE. WHAT CAN YOU DO? IT'S BETTER IF YOU DIE."

Instantly, panic erupted around every cell in my body. My whole level of paranoia just moved up an extra two levels. I have never experienced this much fear in my whole entire life. Those tests I was talking about this morning were like little mosquitoes landing on my skin. This was the real deal. Entity was here.

"EVERYBODY RUN!!!!" 

There was mass hysteria as everyone flipped their pencils over their desks and ran for their lives. Everyone was up and running, hearts pounding. For me personally, it felt like my heart pumped so much blood it could propel me to the top of the world limit. Usually after a while everyone gets tired and stops acting out, but today nothing died out, just the hopes of all the players. Everyone was frantic about the situation, so Principal Mr. Erick had to speak out.

"I assure you, everything is fine. Stay calm and evacuate the building. This is not a drill."

What scared everyone the most were the words this is not a drill. Chills were sent deep into players, and everyone stopped screaming and started keeping the fear within themselves. I had to meet up with Griffin to discuss the Apocalypse Battle Plan. This was always something we had, a plan that would keep us alive in the night if we forget to come home for bed. Unfortunately the Entity was nothing like a monster. It was a glitch. The Glitch. Many worlds fell to the hands of Entity, and how they ended doesn't even require a discussion: it was horrific. 

"GRIFFIN! ARE YOU THERE? WE GOTTA STICK TOGETHER!" I yelled, hoping Griffin would hear me. Suddenly, I heard a teacher coming from behind. It was Ms. Vikki! She was yelling at everyone to evacuate the building. When I stayed behind, she asked me why, in such an intense situation. 

"Well, uh, I'm looking for my friend Griffin," I said, hoping for a helpful response. Do you have the slightest clue where he went?

"He was in my class last period," Ms. Vikki replied. "Maybe he went to lunch."

Oh, the lunchroom. Every time there was a drill during lunch, people would start freaking out and choking over their food. Too bad this wasn't a drill. It was way more than a drill. Heads banged over me, people ran over me, and I fell to the ground, starting to become oblivious of what was going on around me. That's when my eyes closed and I fell into a deep void.
