Digital Haunt [Yogscast Trilogy]

Welcome to Hell

The familiar building in New York was replaced by a lake next to a cliff. Zoey turned, her eyes scanning the horizon. What had jut happened?

Was she dreaming?

She must be dreaming.

She turned to the strange man. He looked over the lake, his eyes scanning the surrounding, until he turned to her.

"Well..." Zoey said smiling.

"It's been a nice dream, but I have to get back to the real world now."

"It's not a dream" He answered simply.

Zoey nodded, looking around her at the strange plants and flowers.

"Just a...just a strange dream. I kinda wanna wake up now."

She frowned, slowly realising it wasn't a dream.

"Ages ago" the man started.

"A group of four people stumbled upon this place. Now, there are fifteen people living here."

He looked at her.

"Sixteen" he corrected.

Zoey frowned.

"Wait, what? I don't live here. I live in an apartment in New York."

"Now you know about this place" he said.

"You can never go back."

"No!" She yelled suddenly.

"I want to go back home!"

"You can't" the man said calmly.

"Now you know about this place, you can't go back. You need to stay here."

Zoey whimpered slightly and turned, attempting to hide her face from the strange man.

She didn't even know his name.

Tears stung her eyes.

"I'm sorry" the man said in her ear. She hadn't even heard him approach.

"But I did tell you. Everyone else knows about you, so I'll take you to our village. But first, you need a personality."

She looked up, her tears making tracks down her cheeks.

"What do you mean?" She sniffed.

"I mean, everyone here is different. We all have different rolls. You need to be different"

She frowned.

"I was different at my school. All the kids teased me, so I acted normal."

"Can you do it again?" He asked.

"Act like you did then?"

Zoey smiled.

"I'll go with you to the village" she said.

"Only, if you give me lots of mushrooms"

The man laughed.

"You like mushrooms?"

She grinned.

"I love mushrooms"

They started walking towards the village.

"So what's your name?" Zoey asked.

"Obviously, you know mine."

The man turned to him and smiled.

"Rythian" he said.

"My name is Rythian Enderborn."
