Into the Light [Completed]

Chapter 2

There was a strange tingling sensation in his body. His vision blurry as he started to stir. All he could see was darkness all around him. He tried to get up to look around, but his body ached as he tried to stand. He fell back to the ground with a loud, echoing 'thud'.

A blurry figure walked towards him. The figure crouched down a held out a hand to him. He took the figure's hand and was pulled up. He looked up at the figure. It was a male with red lines running along his body, his face was a dark grey, and the main part of his eyes were red, while the pupils glowed a bright yellow. The man also had short red hair, like Cassie's.

"W-who a-are y-you?" Hadrian stuttered.

"I'm the one that saved you," the figure replied.

Hadrian looked around, his vision still slightly blurry.

"Where's Cassie?" he asked.

"Come, I'll show you," the figure responded.

The figure started walking off. Hadrian quickly followed behind the figure. Who was this guy? Why is he wanting to help Hadrian and Cassie?

—————————————————————

After a while, the two men arrived at their destination. The mystery figure led Hadrian into a smaller room within the house. In the room, Hadrian saw Cassie lying on a small cot. She was unconscious with blood all over her outfit. She had a bandage wrapped around her ribs and right leg. Hadrian's eyes widened in shock as he walked towards her, sitting next to her on the bed.

"How-?" Hadrian asked.

"Simple, I found your little girlfriend here near a river. She looked pretty beaten up, so I took her in. Have to say though, she was lucky she survived long enough after respawning," the mystery man answered.

"Wait, but I thought we couldn't respawn when killed in another world. Unless-" Hadrian pondered.

The mystery man chuckled, "I enabled your respawn codes into the command block's system."

Hadrian looked at the man in shock, but really he was grateful that he did that. But, how did he know their respawn codes? And how did he know about the back-up command block?

"You're probably still wondering who I am. Are you not?" the man asked Hadrian.

Hadrian just nodded in shock.

"Have you heard of 'the Admins'?" the man asked.

Hadrian nodded, not wanting to say the wrong thing.

"Well. I'm Romeo, leader —or well, former leader of the Admins," Romeo said, "I've heard all about how you and Cassie here caused quite a bit of trouble for the twins. Am I wrong?"

"N-no, but how do you know our names?" Hadrian asked.

"Being an admin, I know everything about everyone. It's quite simple actually," Romeo answered.

Hadrian looked back at Cassie. She was still unconscious on the bed. He remembered what that 'Gabriel' guy did to her. His heart was full of hatred. He wanted his revenge on those little pests. He also wants revenge on his former 'friends'. Hadrian growled in frustration.

"You want revenge on the twins and all those other little pests, right?" Romeo asked.

Hadrian snarked, "Yes, I do."

"Well, I also want revenge on those little rats. So I'll help you. If that's what you want," Romeo suggested.

Hadrian nodded, a smirk coming across his facial features.
