New Life Online: The Red Shadow

While they were talking, a small beeping sound notified Alethra that someone she knew had messaged her. She slowly looked at the message, her eyes widening once again.

Alethra. You will return to the Red Shadow at once. If you don't return to us in three days time, let's just say that you will never see your sister again.
---Zala

Tears escaped Alethra's eyes as she stared at the message. They meant it. If she doesn't do what they say in-game... they'll never return her sister to her outside of the game. Alethra took a deep breath, and wiped her tears. She stood up, and quietly walked out of the room, handing the Inn keeper money as she left.

"Alethra? Alethra where are you going?" Erin shouted after her.

"Don't follow me Erin. I am going alone. I'm sorry." She quietly told him, her voice slightly shaking.

"Alethra, are you insane?! You can't go back there! Alethra!" Erin shouted.

Alethra ignored him, and continued walking out of the inn. 'I'm sorry, Erin. I know I promised you, and myself that I'd never go back there... but, I have to do this... for Amy.' She thought to herself. Alethra walked outside, the sun shining down onto her. "I'll find you, Amy. I promise you." She whispered before running into the dark woods that lay in front of her.
