Yay! Two votes, thank you! :D So here's chapter two...

Chapter 2

Something prickly is under my face. It isn't comfortable. Wait, is that voices? Hold on, am I alive? Half drowned, certainly, but also half alive. How is it possible?

"Simon! Come and look at this, there's something here!" One voice yelled.

"What is it, Lewis?" The one I assume is called Simon shouted back.

"There's... a girl!" Probably Lewis exclaims.

I heard footsteps coming closer, then felt someone touch my neck for a heartbeat, I guess.

"She's dead..." He informs the other.

I thought I was alive, am I breathing? Oh, no, I probably should've checked that... Come on, I don't plan on leaving just yet! Neither does my curiosity, I need to find out who these people are, and if there's anyone else. Breathe! Please breathe! My body shuddered, and I coughed violently, throwing up what seemed like gallons of water until I could finally breathe. I took in a ragged breath, then put a hand to my head, groaning.

"Lewis! She's alive, not dead!" Simon squeals, "Unless she's a zombie, in which case she's undead!"

I pushed myself up, propping myself on my elbows, and opening my eyes to look at them. "I'm pretty sure I'm not a zombie. Though I certainly feel awful..."

"How are you alive? You were dead a second ago." Lewis said, and I could now identify him with black hair.

"I thought I was alive, 'cause I could feel stuff, and hear you as well. Then you said I was dead, I panicked. But hey, I guess I have a will to live."

"Who are you?" Simon asked, a ginger dwarf.

"My name is..." I stopped, rolling onto my back. Who am I? I think I like the word infinity... so I guess I'm giving myself a name... "Infinity."

"Second name?" Lewis questions.

"Waters." I replied, thinking of the water that almost killed me.

"Okay, Miss Infinity Waters. Is it ok if we take you with us?" Lewis said.

"Yeah... I mean... it's not like I have anywhere to go, unless I count the sea as my home, and want to drown again." He nodded, smiling a little, then picking me up bridal style, taking me somewhere.

"Where did you come from?" The dwarf asked, running alongside to keep up.

"The last thing I remember is falling from the sky, then hitting the ocean, and now I'm here."

"You don't remember anything else? What about family? Any brothers or sisters, parents, uncles...?"

"Shush your face." I mumbled, putting one of my cold hands over his mouth.

"Come on Simon, she just came back from the dead, save the questions until she's back to full health."

I looked at him gratefully, and wriggled closer to him for warmth, falling asleep to the sway of walking. I felt I could trust these people, so I felt safe.

I woke up to see that I was in a small wooden building with several beds, and I saw... who was it, Lewis, lying in a bed to my left. Now I was dry, at least, and warm. He saw I was awake and looked relieved.

"We weren't sure if you would make it though the night."

"I told you, I have a will to live. I won't die on you any time soon!"

"That's good. How do you feel?"

"A lot better, thanks. Will you take me to see the world?" I asked with big puppy eyes.

He laughed. "I'll take you to the factory, that's a start. Then once you get used go everything here we can go see everyone else."

He stood up, and I followed, finding myself looking up at an insanely tall white factory building. It looked like it must've taken a long time to make. We went inside, and I saw Simon munching on something and looking unbeatably happy.

"Duncan! Get down here!" Lewis yelled, and I heard an explosion and some curses before a man with blond hair and goggles floated down through coloured rings.

"What is it now?" He asked, frustrated and oil-covered.

"I'd like you to meet someone."

I looked up at the scientist, pulling a disgusted face. "Me and science don't mix well."

"Looks like you and Rythian will get along well." He commented, holding out a gloved hand for me to shake.

"Who is Rythian?" I shook his hand in greeting.

"He's a mage, he lives in a castle made of basalt with Zoey and Teep. He isn't too friendly to newcomers, so I'd be careful if you plan to see him." Duncan replied.

"Magic sounds fun... Can I go see him? I'm used go everything here." I looked down and muttered under my breath, "Science..."

"Well... maybe not Rythian just yet. There are others too. Like Martyn and Toby, they live in the forest and love nature. Then there's-"

"Bye! I'm gonna go see them!" I said, wandering off.

I reached a forest, guessing that this is the one Lewis was on about, and entered. I felt at home here, but then squealed as a man floated upside down in front of me.

"Hi, I'm Ridgedog." He said, standing now the right way up.

"Um. Hello...? I'm Infinity."

"Nice name." He said, stepping closer.

"Well, I'm just going to visit someone, so I have to go." I quickly replied, trying to move away.

He grabbed me, pulling me back, then kissed me full on the lips. I slapped his face, hard.

"I like you..." He growled, not letting me escape.

"And I barely know you- what of it?"

He silenced me with another kiss, forcing me against a tree. I turned my face, trying and failing to kick him away.

"I love you." He stated, looking into my eyes and holding my face in his hands with a terrifying smirk on his face.

"Please leave me alone." I whispered, but he just pushed himself up against me with another kiss.

"I'm not going anywhere, neither are you." He said evilly.

"MARTYN!" I shrieked, hoping he somehow might hear as Ridge's hands travelled lower.

"Ridge! Stop it!" A person yelled, distracting Ridge enough for me to slip away.

"Well, well, well. Look who decided to join us Infi-" He turned around, only just realising I was gone, then noticed me behind the blond, "Playing the act of handsome prince and coming to save the damsel in distress, eh?"

"Stay away from her!" He shouted, pointing his sword at Ridge.

"Hmph. Fine, but I'll be back for more, you can be sure of it." With that, he was gone.

"Are you ok?" He asked kindly.

"Thanks to you." I replied truthfully, hugging him.

"Come on. Lets get you to InthelittleCorp, it'll be safer. By the way, I'm Martyn." He led me to a clearing with a fireplace in the middle, a tent and some wooden toilets.

A boy with brown hair and a black hoodie was sitting next to the fire, looking bored. He cheered up when he saw Martyn, then seemed curious when he saw me behind the blond.

"Who is that?" He asked.

"Hi, my name is Infinity." I replied, shrugging.

"Well, Infinity meet Toby, Toby meet Infinity. You both know me, so there's no need for an introduction." Martyn said, grinning.

"No, sorry, I don't know you." I added, looking blank, then unable to keep it in anymore I laughed, "Wait, did I thank you? If not, thank you so incredibly much 'cause Ridge is creepy and likes to make moves..."

"Hey, no problem. At least he wasn't killing you, I guess that's an up side."

"You're wrong, he was killing me." I said, holding my throat dramatically and making choking noises.

"Right, well, enjoy dying." He replied, sarcastically.

"Don't worry, I'm very specialised in dying. I've already died once, from drowning. But I didn't want to die so I came back to life. Glad I did. 'Cause of stuff."

"Are you being serious? You died?" Toby asked, shocked.

"Yeah. When I first arrived, Lewis and Simon found me dead on the beach."

"Well I'm glad you're alive now. Or we wouldn't have made a new friend!" Martyn said, smiling.

"Hold on, are you saying that Ridge kills people?" I exclaimed, replaying the conversation in my head and surprising myself.

"Yeah. He also makes us do this thing called the Survival Games, where we kill our friends, just for his enjoyment." He added, face darkening.

"Everyone?"

"Yeah. It's horrible, seeing your friends blood all over your hands and their corpse in front of you..."

I hugged Martyn, then Toby, feeling sorry for them and instantly hating Ridge even more.

"I have to go. I want to explore more!"

Before I left, Martyn grabbed my wrist and turned me around.

"It's getting dark, you should stay here for the night." He said.

I nodded, and they took me to the tent, giving me one of the two beds. I curled up, and went straight to sleep.
