MyStory Book 1: A Cursed Destiny

Part 2: A Symbol of Hope Chapter 14: This Crumbling Planet

My eyes blearily opened, and my head hurt like hell. Jeez, what had happened? Everything hurts like crap. I tried to move my arm, but it was so stiff I could only make it twitch.
After a couple tries, I managed to rip my arm from it's stiffness, and winced in pain. It hurt to move anything, but I managed to do it eventually. I stumbled over to a small pond of water, and gazed at my reflection. I had dried blood all over me, purple blood, and everything came back to me. I glanced around quickly. The trees were dying, and dead leaves were everywhere, along with... corpses. Dead bodies everywhere, forming a landscape of red.
I forced myself to calm down, and worked on washing as much blood off of me as possible, my eyes scraping over the landscape as I did so. Everything was dusty, and it looked like nothing or no one had walked through here for a while. My eyes went back down to my clothes, which were torn, muddy, amd ragged. I'll need to ditch these later. I don't know how long I was out, but it was definitely during rains.

After I finished cleaning myself off, the water and ground around me was stained red and purple. I couldn't see any signs of wounds, so I assumed that I healed while I was "dead". A thought struck me. How would I move around? Everyone thought I was dead. Maybe the NetWork would help me? I was technically their ruler, after all. I stood up, grabbed the bag that the Demis' probably had the thought to put next to me, and teleported straight to the home that AndSight owned once. I guess it was technically mine now. I traded my black jeans and sweatshirt, purple t-shirt, black tennis shoes, and red fingerless gloves and toed socks for what I'll probably call my "war oufit". After all, that's what it was, right?
My war outfit consisted of a long black coat that had a tall collar and fell down to my ankles with deep pockets, a dark purple turtleneck, black loose leggings, leather combat boots that went up to mid-calf, blood red gloves that covered my whole hand with the same color of knee socks, and a black and purple cape that also went down to my ankles. It was something that would let me move around easily, conceal weapons, but not be too terribly suspicious at the the same time. Oh yeah, it also gives me an intimidating air.
Back in the OverWorld, I walked towards the town I saw ahead. The dust was still everywhere, so much that I had difficulty seeing. There was a house just off of the town, and I could see a woman working inside with a child playing through the window, and decided to try to stop there. I wanted information, not a place to stay, or food, or water.
I knocked on the door, and the woman set down what she was doing. I quickly flipped down the collar to my coat, and wrapped my cape tightly around me. She opened the door, and her eyes widened.
"Oh, hello! Who are you?" She inquired. I came up with an answer on the spot.
"Hello, my name is EnderCraft, and I am a traveler looking for a place to stay. I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction?" I asked more than anything. She looked slightly unsure, until the kid came running up to her.
"Can we let the kind lady stay, mommy? Pleeeeease?" He asked, giving her puppy dog eyes. She smiled fondly down at him, then looked back up at me.
"I guess you can stay here." She concluded, making the boy cheer. I nodded gratefully.
"Thank you. I lost my horse some ways back, and have been travelling on foot since then. I will only need a week at most." I stopped and looked around quickly. "May I come in?"
"Oh! Of course. You are staying here, after all. My name's Riley, and I'm taking care of my sister Jordan's kid. He likes to go by his last name, Light." Riley said, sadly smiling down at Light, her expression full of sorrow. I scaned her mind quickly, a trick I learned.
"I'm sorry for your sister." I murmured quietly, my eyes downcast. Her mind showed that she was taken by the military when Light was too young to remember. She looked up, slightly surprised, but shook it off.
"Thank you. Come on, Light'll show you to your room." I looked at Light, whose grey eyes were full of hope, and felt a small grin sneak on to my face as I ruffled his hair quickly.
"Come on, bud, let us go." I said quietly, and he grinned widely as he grabbed my hand and dragged me into the small house, and went past room after room.
"So here's mommy's room..." Inside I found a collection of books, with a desk against a large window, and several electronics spread across a large striped bed. I didn't have much time to examine the room thoroughly, as he pulled me right on past.
"Here's the room you're staying in..." Light said as he pulled me into a room with a beige carpet and cream colored walls. Tan flannel sheets were spread across a single bed, and a white fan hung from the cathedral-like ceiling. There was an outclove by the closet and bed that had two tables on either side, and a black plastic chair in the middle. I placed my bag on the chair, and he impatiently pulled me out of the room. The room looked familiar, almost like...

~Vision~

I flopped down on my bed nonchalantly, and pulled my phone off of the desk by my bed. My chest-length, somewhat curly brown hair was flicked behind the pillow that was behind me. I opened up my phone and started playing some games when all the sudden...
Bbbrrrring!
My FaceTime rang, and I picked it up quickly.
"Hey B-"

~End of Vision~

"Ms. EnderCraft? Helloooooo?" Light's voice brought me back to reality.
"Wha- huh?" I said. He laughed.
"This is my room!" He said, showing me a room that had a white ceiling, grey walls, and a black carpeted floor. The bed was different shades of blue, and there was a large desk with lots of papers scattered across it, and a desktop sitting in the center. I picked one up.
"Robot designs. You must have an ambitious imagination." I said, smiling lightly. He nodded.
"Yup! I'm also one of the smartest people in my class!" He said proudly, pointing to his computer. So he takes online classes, I thought. That makes sense. Considering how dusty it was, it was probably deemed dangerous to go outside.
"Why not add..." I suggested. As time went by, I made sure his plans were fool-proof, and added a few suggestions of my own to throw in. I might not be the smartest of the Three Lives, but I'm second.

-Hey guys, this is Benii! Quite a weird place to cut off, right? Where do you think the vision was from? Or do you think that EnderSight's hallucinating? Also...

I'M SO SAD, I GET BRACES IN FOUR DAYS!!! D: Meeeeh *dies, but then pops back up as Zombie Benii.* Anyway, leave a comment if you want me to do something else, like a Q & A or something. It doesn't have to be right now, but... yeah.
*Awkward silence*
...Soyeahbye!-
