Iruna | The Virtual Escape

Chapter 7: In a Time of Need

It was time for lights out, as everyone was dispersing to their own ways. One of the Game Developers walked onto the stage to make a reminder for us. I felt an itch on my nose so I took out my handkerchief and it fell on the floor. I squatted down to get my handkerchief and got this sudden shock on my back. I endured the pain and I quickly got it off the ground.

"Hello everyone, we will soon be arriving at the island so don't get too comfortable to this ferry because we are shortly going to arrive at our destination."

I stood straight back up and wondered what the person had to say. I shrugged and looked at everyone was continuing to disperse. After everyone had left, I got to examine the dining room much better. It had a very beautiful chandelier and a smooth glass floor. The floor was shiny as it looked so tended to. It'd be perfect to dance on it with someone. The table was made with pine wood. The craftsmanship seemed to be good taken care of.

I went back to my room and peeked outside of the ferry and I could see the island just far off into the distance, realizing we were almost at the island. I sat down on my bed and I put my hand on top of my forehead and was shocked that I forgot to tell Riku about these signs. I figured I have to maybe find another time to tell him. I laid back and thought maybe I could take a nap. I let my head rest for a couple of seconds. Not even moments later there was a knock on the door. I moaned out of laziness of me trying to have effort getting out of bed with the amount of energy I had. The lack of care of me not opening that door didn't really bother me.

"Hey, Mari open up the door!"

The voice sounded quite familiar. Then I felt a bit more obligated to open the door. I crawled myself to open the door. As I turned the knob slightly, the door busted open with it slammed in front of my face.

"Hey, Mari what's up!"

It was instant but I could still feel the pain when they had opened it. It felt like my nose fractured into different types of pain. I looked at who it was and it seemed to be Luke and Alejandro.

"Surprise Mari! Let's have a little party here."

I was looking straight at Luke building up with the rage of how I was going to have some nice time to myself. I grabbed Luke's and Alejandro's arm and took them outside of my room with contempt.

"You guys." As I put my palm onto my forehead. "I was literally was about to go to sleep."

"Oh sorry, Mari. Me and Alejandro here were pretty hyper so we figured we came to your room and have a childish innocent game of a pillow fight."

I deeply stare at Luke with irritating eyes. I feel like a fist was developing with my hands with the amount of amusement they were going to get from this. I snatched Luke's pillow and started to strike at him. Alejandro happened to follow up and we were both hitting him. Luke fell down and cried out for help.

"Hey! That's not fair! I am not armed."

I giggled and kept on hitting Luke but he got up and went into my room to grab more weapons for himself.

"Now that I am armed it is now fair."

We continued for the next couple of minutes and got a bit exhausted. We all laid down around my room and just taking a moment and was breathing it out from the amount of hitting each other with pillows. I grabbed my pillow and it looks as if it was damaged badly.

"Well, that's one good pillow gone."

"Anyways guys I have a few things to say to you guys."

"What is it?" Alejandro asked.
