"Welcome to Kill Or Live," His demonic voice rings through the air, and I open my eyes, blinking. The sun glares down on us, and as one, we raise our hands to shield our eyes. All of us who were playing are here. Garroth, Aphmau, Laurance, Lucinda, Dante, Nicole, Travis, Aaron, Lily and me. We all look different to real life, but resemble ourselves. For example, Aphmau is taller, and her hair is tinted purple, just like her avatar. Garroth's hair shines in the sun, and as he turns to look around, his eyes are even more piercing than before. I look down at myself, and see my hair is my favorite shade of blue.

When we all locate the voice, we see it belongs to Zane Ro'Meave. Garroth doesn't even look surprised, only scared. Aphmau looks furious, her fists clenched. 

"In Kill To Live, Matèni Kanggo Urip , you do as said. Killing will save your life. When you die, you don't go back to your old home. you die. And if one of you is infected you will turn against the others," Zane smirks. A shiver runs down my spine and I hear Travis mutter something. Zane turns to face us, and his eyes are pure black, his body language screams dangerous. This is the first time Zane has scared me.

"Choose now if you're staying together or splitting up." Zane demands, twirling a black blade in his fingers. 

Aaron looks at Lily, who nods and they stand together, but not with us.

"I'd prefer us in a group," Aphmau mumbles and I nod.

"Alone, we're going to die easier." I state, as people look shocked. "Sorry, but this is our new life, death is to be expected, but not tested." 

"I'm staying with Katelyn, she knows how this is," Nicole says, setting her jaw and standing next to me. Dante agrees, his eyes shining with determination. 

"Garroth? Laurance? Lucinda? Travis?" Aphmau asks them, and Lucinda chooses instantly.

"I'm sticking with you, I'm not good with combat, but I'm good with magic." 

"Well, I'm going with you, Aphmau," Garroth smiles at her, and Laurance nods.

So far, only Lily and Aaron have left us.

"Travis?" I say, my heart beating harder.

"It's safe to say I'm with you," He replies, his green eyes flashing in the sun and his face nervous.

It's decided, we're staying together, and we're all going to survive this. Zane laughs again.

"Have fun in your new life!" He yells, and the world goes black. When everything appears again, we're in a different place.

Aaron grabs Lily and walks off with her, leaving us alone. I look at the floor, just as Travis pipes up.

"We're going to need some weapons, if we come across an enemy, we're dead meat." He explains, looking around.

Idly, I crack my knuckles, shifting my weight to my left foot.

"We could always try and find a settlement, like a small town?" Aphmau suggests and I nod. We set off towards North, spirits low, but heads high.

Then, the first clap of thunder.
