If I did my math correctly, then I should be publishing this on my friend's birthday. Happy Birthday Zoe! I know you don't read my book but whatever. Also, I think I wanna start doing discussion questions. Like at the end I'll ask a question and you all can talk about it in the comments. How does that sound? Side note though, I did 80 curl ups at once! That's better compared to many of my classmates.

Zora's POV

I look at him like he's gone mad, and he probably did way before today.

"No, I didn't! I'm being very rational about this! You're the perfect candidate for the job, and you will do it or else!" He howls, standing up and crawling over the table and pointing his finger right to me in my face. That kinda scares me.

"W-w-w-why would I be important?" I stutter out, trying to stand up to him but ultimately failing.

"That isn't important right now! What's important is that you listen to me and just stop disobeying me you, child!" He yells slamming his hands on the table. I freak out and chair tilts backwards making me hit my head on the tiled floor knocking me out.

***Unexpected Time Skip***

"What will we tell her?"

"We can say that she fell asleep while I was telling her the story."

"After this, I don't think she'll remember anything. She hit her head pretty hard."

"Wait, look she's waking up. Quickly go get Googleplier." 

"Hey you, get up."

I feel someone lightly shake my arm. It seems to be a hand but is oddly cold. I shake my arm so the hand would leave. I feel a pain in my head and rub it with my hands. I open my eyes and I see Dark standing next to me. Then I notice I'm in the same bedroom I was in earlier. 

"Good, your up. Sorry for overreacting earlier, I was very stressed. Going on killing sprees can put a lot of stress on someone," Dark apologizes. He... Apologized? I didn't think demons could even do that.

"Demons can very well say sorry, as long as it's to another demon. It's a secret rule that all demons ignore and act like it's not a thing, but it is," Dark explains.

"Well, I'm not a demon but thanks for trying," I say in a happy and sarcastic tone. He shakes his head and sits down on the edge of the bed. 

"Trust me when I say that you're a demon. Remember our game earlier?" I nod," The real answer was the third one. She was trying to kill you actually. She was a sorcerer and somehow found out about your demon side. That day she was planning on killing you and your adopted parents while you all were sleeping that night. I was gonna kidnap you that night, but when you almost drowned I had to save you before you would be permanently be trapped in the underworld."

"So that's interesting and all, but why was I living on Earth then instead of in the Underworld huh?" I ask annoyingly while staring at him.

"That's because you're part human too. Your, father, is a demon, while your mother was a human. I knew both of them well and they loved each other very much," Dark explains just as the door opens, revealing two tired out alter egos. None other than Googleplier and Mark. Mark rushes over to my side opposite of Dark.

"Hey Zora, how do you feel? Are you okay? Is there anything I can do to help?" He starts asking questions. I lightly push him aside and set myself up on the bed. Google walks over beside Dark holding a baggie of cookies. He notices me staring at the cookies. 

"They're in case your hungry," He mutters tossing the bag over to me. I grab it and start opening it. Everyone just watches as I pull out a cookie and start to eat it. I close the bag back up while holding the cookie I took in my mouth and toss the bag back over to Google.

"Well? Zora answer me!" Mark basically yells smacking the bed with his fists. I just look at him like 'hey chill out.'

"Yeah chill Dr. Iplier," Dark says right after I think that. Weird.

"Ugh, okay, at least tell me if you're okay," Mark adds. I just roll my eyes but smile looking at him.

"I'm fine Mark. Just stop worrying about me. Heck, I can't even remember what happened! There's no need to worry over me," I wave him off. He just sighs and walks out of the room to who knows where. 

"Well, we're thrilled to know that you're okay. Are you sure its just when you passed out that you can't remember?" Googleplier asks.

"I remember meeting you and Mark," Dark cringes at the name," and I remember up until when we came back here. Anything after is kinda fuzzy," I explain rubbing my head," what was up with whatever my head hit?"

"The ground has an extra strong electromagnetic force to the brain. So it hurts more to hit your head on it then hitting your feet on it," Dark explains to me, but I'm just confused me.

"Electro... Magnetic force? What are you talking about?"I ask positioning myself so I'm actually sitting up against whatever is behind me,"I learned that crap in, like, seventh grade. With magnets and stuff. What does that have anything to do with..." I see Dark facepalm and I pause myself.

"I can explain it again later, but for now we need to go. You think you can get out of bed?" Dark asks me staring at the bed. I nod and nudge myself to the edge and jump to my feet. He nods and we all file out of the room and down the stairs. 

"Why do you trust me?" I hear Dark say to me as Googleplier opens the front door for us.

"I don't really have a choice, do I?" I ask in an answer. He smiles and looks away from me. As we walk out, I notice that it doesn't look anything like earth. We seem to be in a giant city, or kingdom, surrounded by a blue force field which colors the sky blue. Wait, that doesn't make any sense. 

"It makes plenty of sense, dear child. You just have to believe it," Dark intrudes. I just nod and we start walking down what seems to be a street and a sidewalk, which I wouldn't think would be wherever we're at. As we walk, I notice other people walking around too. A lot of them look like people from Earth. Most of them I don't recognize. Then one catches my eye. It looks a lot like TheDiamondMinecart but is grayed out and glitched up. Dark notices me staring at him.

"That's DannyDarko. You might've seen him-"

"Darkiplier vs AntiSepticEye!" I say a little louder then I should. Everyone near us stops and just looks at me with death glares. Dark just awkwardly waves and pulls me away and quickly follows up Googleplier.

"You shouldn't have said that name," Dark commands, walking in a weird formal way not looking at me.

"What? You mean Ant-" Dark smacks my shoulder and it stings really bad so I cover it and rub it. He just glares at me and I just whimper in response.

"Stop being a baby and let's go."
