So, I'm Hollow. And, I have 2 siblings. Everly, she's the middle child, she's almost 10. And Scott, he's the youngest, he's the most adorable (and annoying), and he's 6. And, i'm Hollow, like I said. I'm 12, and I'm halfway through the 6th grade.

But, even though we've known each other for about our whole lives, we really don't get along too well... 

The story started at the playground, when I had to take Everly and Scott...

"Hollow!" Scott yelled, excited.

"Yeah?" I asked him, confused. "I found this cool thing on the ground! What is it?" Scott asked me. Everly came over for a second to check out what Scott found. 

"Scott, where did you find that?" I questioned him, Noticing it was a Nerf gun. "Someone probably lost that, maybe go ask some people."

Scott looked sadly at me. "But, it looks cool... Can I keep it if nobody claims it?" I sighed at him, and looked at him with a slight smile. "I guess, but that's more up to mom."

"Okay Hollow! I'm gonna go ask around!" Scott said, hopping over to the other kids. "What was that?" Everly asked, still standing on the side. "A nerf gun, He said he just found it on the ground." I replied to her. "Okay! See you soon Hollow!" Everly replied to me, running over to her friends. 

Out of nowhere, I felt hands on my shoulders...

I looked over, and saw my best friend Kyla. "KYLA! YOU HAVEN'T BEEN OUT FOR SO LONGGGG!" I yelled out happily. 

"I know, I was sick with the flu." Kyla replied. "But now, I'm not, hehehehehe!" 

Everly ran over to me and Kyla.

"Hey, Kyla! I haven't seen you for a while..." Everly said, happy to see her, but nervous.

She always gets so nervous around Kyla, and I was 99% sure she had a crush on her. "Ah, hey Everly! I just told Hollow how I got sick, heh." Kyla told Everly.

"Oh, that sucks..." Everly said, feeling bad for Kyla.

"Wasn't that bad, but still took a while to get better... but, do you guys wanna come in my house? I got a PC last week for my 12th birthday!" Kyla said, excited to show us.

"I'll have to ask my mom to watch Scott... I'll be right back!" I told Kyla. I went over with my mom, bringing Scott over. "Mom, can you watch Scott, Kyla asked me and Everly to go into her house!" I asked my mom. 

"Why don't you just bring Scott with you? I've been in your friends house with her mom, it's safe enough for Scott." My mom told me. 

"You'd really allow that? Thanks, mom! I'll take Scott!" I said happily. "But be out of her house by 8PM!" My mom yelled back as I carried Scott, running swiftly towards Kyla and Everly.

"What'd your mom say?" Kyla asked me. "She said me and Everly could come in, but we have to take Scott." I replied. Scott looked happily towards me, and looked at Everly and Kyla. 

"oh, yippe! C'mon, let's go play some games, I have a bunch of games, too." Kyla said, running towards her house, as we followed. I was still carrying Scott. I almost entirely forgot I was, I was just excited to be hanging out with Kyla again.

We entered, and I saw one of Kyla's cat's run over, probably excited to see her. Kyla's cat is super clingy, especially to Kyla.

Blueberry also recognized me, but Everly had never been inside of-

Kyla's house, only I had been there, and some of Kyla's extended family. "Hah, that's Blueberry! You must of never seen her before, Everly!" Kyla told Everly. "I named her Blueberry, because when we found her, she was super small, like a blueberry! and they're my favorite fruits! But i'm not gonna eat this little fruit! only cuddle it!"

Everly chuckled, and Blueberry rubbed against her.

"Can I pet her?" Everly asked Kyla. "Of course! She's very friendly, but a bit shy. She just has to get used to you!" Kyla replied. 

Everly reached out to pet her, and Blueberry purred. 

"She must really like you..." I told Everly. 

"Animals are obsessed with me for some reason, but it's pretty cool!" Everly replied back to me. 

"Same, one time a bird just landed right next to me, it was so cute though! I named her Skylar!" Kyla told us. "Do you still see Skylar?" I asked Kyla.

"No, that bird could be anywhere! I hope Skylar will visit again, that'd be awesome!" Kyla said excitedly. "But anyways, you guys wanna go play some games?"

We all nodded, and ran upstairs, kicking off our shoes.

"So, this is my new PC!" Kyla told us.

"I had the flu on my birthday, so that's why I didn't invite you guys... sorry." Kyla said, apologetically. 

"Don't feel bad, it's not your fault you were sick!" Everly told Kyla to make her feel better. "Yeah, I guess so... but let's boot this up!" Kyla said, running over to turn her PC on. 

"it's so cool! much better than your old laptop." Everly said to her. "I know, right? My sister broke it, she's so clumsy! but I'm kinda glad for some reason..." Kyla replied. 

"Because the laptop was bad?" I questioned.

"Yeah.. but it's loaded! What should we play?" Kyla asked us. "Can I pick? Can i?" Scott asked. 

"Oh my gosh, I forgot you brought your brother for a second! Sorry Scott!" Kyla said. "And of course! pick any game you'd like." 

Scott looked at the games for a good minute...

"What about that funny game?" Scott said, pointing at the game he was talking about.

 "Roblox? I've only played it once, but sure!" Kyla told Scott.

"can I use your bathroom?" Scott asked Kyla. "Yeah, you don't need to ask, it's a basic human need." Kyla replied to him.

"Okay!" Scott told her, Running off to the bathroom.

"uh, Kyla?" I said, looking confused. "Yep?" She asked, wondering what I was confused about...

"What's this button?" I asked her. "I... don't know. I never seen it before." She replied. we all looked at it confused, until I decided to press it.

"It does no-AHTHAAAA!" I screamed, as we entered into the computer... I woke up, and we were on the home page of the game Scott picked. "What...?" Everly said, lightheaded. "uh..." Kyla said, looking around. "We're in the computer...?"

We could barely speak normally, the tensity of the situation was very stressful... and horrifying.

"This is a dream, this is a dream, I am dreaming, this isn't real." Everly told herself, she seriously thought she was lucid dreaming. 

I pinched her, joking with her trying to make the situation a bit brighter... "Hollow, stop. I know, you're trying to joke around again to make me feel better." Everly said, like she's always been aggravated by this, though she never seemed like she was.

"This is different. this is something that shouldn't even be hum-

-anly possible. You can't ease this, you never could." 

It hurt really bad, but it was way too true than i'd like to admit. Because, what even was that day?

"Everly, calm down a bit. I know this is scary, but-" Kyla tried to finish, but Scott walked into the room. "Everly? Hollow? Hollow and Everly's friend?" Scott said, scared. He then saw the computer... "Huh?" He questioned. He saw Me, Kyla, and Everly on a computer, and no where else. to a six year old, that would be very confusing... actually, to anybody!

"Scott!" We all yelled at the same time, it was kinda funny...

"Guys! You're... in the computer!" Scott said, he was just as confused as we were. "We're already past that... we need to get out!" I said, knowing that we weren't past that, not one bit.

"No, we're not past that, but we are trying to get out, if that'll even be possible!" Everly said, panicked, jumping all over the place.

"What if I start a game?" Scott questioned.

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!" Kyla yelled, it felt like it was shaking the computer... probably was, to be honest.

Scott was standing there with the saddest little eyes, looking lik-

-e he was about to cry.

"Aw, I'm sorry Scott... this is just... What even is this?" She said, she was questioning the whole reality of this situation.

Scott said, "It's okay, but please? It'll be a good game! and it's your guys' only chance to escape!" 

Kyla did a tired, and annoyed sigh. "Fine, but pick something without... danger... okay?"

Scott nodded, and scrolled through. it took him a minute to climb up onto the chair. Me and Everly were in disbelief at what she just said. Scott is the least trustworthy person on this WHOLE planet, and she chose... HIM?!

He finally chose, and while it was loading... we were the loading icon, just spinning as we waited.

"OH MY GOD!" I yelled out, it was spinning so fast... we were those lines. and a few other normal lines. "I'M GONNA THROW UP!" Everly screamed. she had vertigo, and she was not up for this.

But, it finally loaded in, and we spawned. 

There were other people there, just looking at us. "Bro what" One person typed. "how'd you guys get those hyper realistic avatars?" another typed.

You see, I had absolutely zero idea what these people were saying. I had seen Everly playing this game before... I know I had, I just couldn't remember the name.

"Scott... I know you didn't just take us to this game. one of the hardest games to beat." Everly told Scott, seeming like she was about to scream. "Beat... what if we had to beat a game to be free!" I said out.

"I dunno..." Everly was questioning it.

"We've gotta at least try to see!" Kyla told Everly. For a little bit, I had a smile. I wasn't the most smiliest person, so...

anyways, we got started into it.

"This is literally a fever dream." One person in the game told their friend.

"What game is this?" I asked Everly, confused.

She sighed, loudly... "Identity fraud." Me and Kyla looked so confused on what she was talking about. "You mean like... the crime?" Kyla questioned...

"No, no, it's a game... A HORROR GAME!"

Scott looked shocked, and we were freaking out. "SCOTT YOU PICKED A HORROR GAME? I SAID EASY!" Kyla yelled, horrified.

"But... I thought it wouldn't be a horror game..." Scott said, looking at us with a sad look. I was about to respond, when we saw a character walking... a bit too perfect. everyone else was rushing away, while me and Kyla stood there... "Hey? Why's everyone running?" I asked. Everly looked mortified as she thought we'd go along with her, running away.

Then, the character started running- you know what, not even running, sprinting. a sprint float? we were screaming so loud as we sprinted away. Scott was covering his eyes, he was terrified, but not as much as us. 

We finally got away from whatever that thing was, and it 

was single-handedly the most traumatic experience of my life...

At least the most scary one.

We finally managed to stop somewhere for a minute to take it all in. Everly bursted out crying, as i just sobbed quietly. Kyla was comforting us, and Scott was just... there. he had to watch as his sisters, and his sisters' friend got chased by that creature, and the aftermath.

"I know guys... it sucks, but we'll never escape if we stay here."

Kyla told us, as we started getting up. Everly was so traumatized that Me and Kyla had to help her up. I feel so bad...

But, we went on, it was a weird maze... as we were walking, we saw another one. "Nope." Kyla said, as she dragged us, walking behind where we already went.

we went through another corridor, and we could see a door.

"Stage one... is through..." Everly said quietly. "Stage one? there's more???" Kyla asked. 

"Ye-AHHHH!" Everly screamed out, as we were sucked into somewhere else. 

"Guys, it says that you got 1 of 3 bullets! whatever that means..." Scott told us. 

"Wait, earlier you found a Nerf gun... and you kept it... IT'S BECAUSE OF THAT!" I yelled out, finding the answer to why this happened... well, some of it.

"Oh, sorry!" Scott said to me.

"No worries, just if we make it out of here, don't pick up random things you find on the floor!" I told Scott softly. "i think he has to pick another game now..." Kyla said to Me and Everly.

Everly started breathing more heavier... she was scared he would pick something horrible! but to our surprise... I'm just kidding, he didn't surprise us, he picked another horrid game.

He decided to pick Fortnite... if you don't know what that is, then maybe my friend will explain it...

"Fortnite?" I questioned, Kyla always made fun of it and joked around with it. "My cousin came over la- okay you know what, I like it, I'm not ashamed at this point and time." Kyla told us. Me and Everly were very surprised with what she had said.

"You could've told us, no need to be embarrassed about your interests..." I told Kyla, Hypocritically.

"I know... but this is a fighting game. with pew pews, as I shall call them." Kyla told us.

Me and Everly looked like we wanted to bang our heads on a wall (We did)

"why did I only realize that it was a fighting game again when you said that..." Everly told Kyla. "uh-uh, but let's get moving I guess... we gotta be the best though. or we die... I think, do we regenerate?" Kyla said and asked. 

"Dunno, but let's not try to find that out, and lets... play I guess?" I told Everly and Kyla.

"Oh... we have to para glide, I forgot..." Kyla told us.

"No, no, NOOOOO! I hate heights, I hate them!" Everly yelled out to us. When we were kids too, we once put our broom between 2 chairs and played tight rope with it... Everly was the first one to go, and she got hurt really bad, so that's another reason why...

But anyways...

"DEAR GOD, NO!" Everly screamed out, louder than I ever heard her before. Kyla held onto Everly's hand as we went down. It finally made Everly shut up, and put us at peace... I can't even be mad at her, it was very high, even for me, who would jump off the Eiffel tower for a red skittle.

We made it down, and me and Everly had absolutely no idea what to do at that point, but Kyla knew just what we had to do. "Guy's, take this! and Hollow, you're pretty old you can drive... right?" Kyla looked at me with the most serious expression I've ever seen, more serious than my Social Studies teacher, and that's saying a lot.

I had to accept at that point.

"Sure, I guess." I told Kyla. "Great, now get in that jeep before people get us!" Kyla replied to me.

She handed me a pew pew- lol I love saying that word.
