Offline. He was gone. And I was once again alone. This world didn't used to be so lonely.. But I guess times change. But I don't know how.. He broke me. Why.. I collapsed onto the wooden chair and once again stated at my picture. I fiddled with it an my hands trying not to shed a tear.
Then I heard the voice. "Altaria, AI 18" I tensed. "I see you are tensing, what is the reason." I took a breath. "Some pain in my side, most likely caused by the recent battle I completed with player: Alto." I said calmly. "Player: Alto is no longer online, would you like to be checked or rested." "Rested." I responded. First my shadow began to dissolve into neon blue shards, then my feet up to my head. Out of his house, now I was back in the AISCS or AI Spawn Checkpoint and Search. "Welcome back AI 18." I stayed quiet and kept my head down, silently shoving my picture in a hidden pocket. "You will be guided to your chamber soon." I stood in place, arms locked by my sides. An orb that formed into a bright blue translucent lady appeared before me. "Hand please." She said gently yet strictly. I didn't give her my hand. "HAND, AI 18." I did nothing. "AI 18 I am ordering you to give me your hand." I stood and looked at her. "You stupid stupid littl-" "Shut up." I snapped. She glared hard at me and slapped my face. She grabbed my wrist. "Let's go, AI 18." She said firmly. I followed reluctantly. She guided me through intricate lines, lasers, around dots, through mazes of AI's. And incoming AI's. I tried not to look. She stopped at my door and slammed my hand against the scanner. The door shot open and she threw me in. "Talk back again AI 18. You'll regret it." Her form retreated into the original orb, and disappeared into shards. I laid silent in the black and blue room. I don't know what had snapped that day. But I knew it wouldn't be repairing soon. "Rest AI 18" the voice blared into my room. "Yes Mrs. Constella..." I murmured. "Elite AI Commander to you Altaria." She snapped. I got off the floor and headed to the small black and blue bed hunched in the corner. I laid down and slept, restoring my hp... And some humanity.
