Chapter 127: Vibrating Uncontrollably
I was standing outside of the glass room now, looking in and watching with other friends and loved ones of the women going into the game. They were all in the game now, but we couldn't see anything, and my stomach was in knots; something felt wrong.
That's when two men around my age storm into the waiting area and shatter my entire world into pieces. One of them had shaggy dirty blonde hair, and the other was bald; the two had resembling features.
"STOP THEM, HE'S GOING TO KILL THEM ALL!" the younger blonde man said as a security man tried to stop him.
The bald-headed man dropped him with a single punch and then started to kick the shit out of every person that came near the blonde. He walked forward with tears running down his face, and my heart broke as I ran after him.
Please, let him be wrong, but I could see from the unadulterated fury of the bald-headed man, it had to be true. The tears poured down my face as I ran and caught up to the blonde's steady gate.
"How do you know?" I asked in a choked voice as I walked beside him.
I couldn't go to her; I was vibrating.
"I worked as a subcontractor for Second Life, and I had got one of the helmets, and I had someone working on it. This is all my fault," The man said as he ambled up to a machine and opened it up.
I didn't know what to do as he took her helmet off and checked her pulse but then shook his head no as he lowered the cover over the blonde girl. Frozen, shaking uncontrollably, the tears were unstoppable, and I was having trouble breathing.
"Let's go; what was her name?" The man asked, but the tears had stopped for him, and his face was cold as ice.
"Lesha," I managed to choke out.
"You don't have to see her like this. Here," The man dug in his pocket, and pulled out a card, and then handed it to me. "I know that person was incredibly special to you; I can see the hurt and how bad you don't want it to be true. So, I don't want you to go see her, you're stronger than this, I can see it. You will call me in exactly seven days from now, and then I will give her back to you, but I will need a lot from you," He told me.
That shocked me out of my frozen state, and I was able to get ahold of myself, but I grabbed onto his shoulders and looked him in the eyes.
"ANYTHING! I don't care what you want me to do or how hard I will have to work. If you can save her, I will give you anything, even my life, if that's what it will take!" I said to him, almost shaking him.
"Be careful; I might just ask for that before this is all over. The girls aren't dead, only these shells, and now they have become digital, but I need to go and protect them all and get the other gear for you and the others. I won't let anything happen to Lesha, but I have to go now!" He said, pulling me away from me, but I gripped his shoulders, and he waited.
"Don't make me wait; I can help. I don't know how, but don't make me go back to our empty home. She is the only person that I have loved since the day I met her, and I just can't," I said, but he just nodded to me.
"Sure, I get it. Can you drive? Something tells me that someone will need to go bail my brother Hyde out of jail. My name is Dave, by the way, you are?"
"Kiada, and yes, I have my license. That monster is your brother?" I asked as we walked out of the staging area.
There were bodies everywhere, and none of them were trying to get up. The people that had come to watch their friends and family were all standing in the corner in fear.
I watched and waited back a bit as Dave walked up to his blood-covered brother. Hyde was panting hard and turned to Dave with a fist raised but then dropped it, his body sagging.
"This is Kiada, and she will take me to the office, and then I will get her to come and get you from the cop station once they post bail, okay. Thank you for what you did, but you know what I have to do now. This was my fault, not yours, and I will spend every second that I have left on this wretched planet to rescue every one of those girls from this trap," Dave said to his brother.
"No, don't play that stupid fucking game, you idiot. You know who is to blame, and there won't be a place in this world or reality that he will be able to hide from me. Don't you dare blame yourself for this little brother, just go make sure Trinity is safe," Hyde told Dave, and then he sat down on the ground, and Dave turned to me.
But then the world went black, then back to white, and then Blank stared at me again.
"How long have we been in here for?" I asked hotly.
"That does not matter, but what does is that this is the first time that this has ever happened. There is nowhere but forward to go from here, Kiada. You know why the four of you are all in here, and now you have a response-ability to those girls," Blank told, but now he was starting to fade away. "One last thing, I had uploaded the Real Eye Program to you so you can clean the girls out now and get rid of the viruses and blocks Reginold put inside of us all when we entered the game; just look into their eyes and use the command word."
Then he was gone, and I was coming awake in Healia's arms, and I was ready to hurt somebody.
