Kidnapped
_________________________________________

Location; Evolution Sever

POV; Grian

The sun's warm rays shone down across spawn. The small circle of tents being hit the most by the rays of golden light.

It was early in the morning, about 8 o'clock.

I awoke to the sound of people talking and laughing and too the smell of breakfast. I headed out of my tent to go and join them.

I looked over to where the sound was coming from and saw the whole server by spawn. They all had gathered around the fire which Pearl used to make pancakes for breakfast.

I stretched my arms above my head and yawned. I walked over to the others who were sitting around the campfire from last night. I assume BigB must have re-lit the fire.

"Welcome back to the land of the living." Solidarity says to me.

"Haha, very funny Timmy." I say back

"You're just in time for breakfast. I've got pancakes and bacon already cooked up and ready to eat." Pearl says.

I smile and walk over to the group.

Suddenly, a cold breeze comes in and gives us all a shiver. The fire that Pearl was using goes out without a wink.

"Well that was odd." I say, a frown forming on my face. I look around the area for anything odd.

It continued to feel chilly even with no wind, not even a light breeze.

I look up to see the sun had hid behind clouds casting a shadow across the server. Something was wrong with the clouds though, they looked like they had a purple shimmer going across all sides.

I look over to SystemZee who had been looking up at the sky as well. We made eye contact, both of us silently acknowledging that something bad was going to happen.

I look away from SystemZee and look at the other Evolutionists just as I hear Pearl say something about something fishy going on.

She sighs, and stops trying to relight the campfire and starts to walk over to me. She stops though, half the way from the fire to me. The blood in her face draining away making her pale dramatically.

"What?" I say looking at her quizzically.

She opens her mouth to say something and raises her hand to point behind me but is rudely interrupted.

"Ah, don't worry about her. She is just afraid of me. I suppose seeing someone emerge from the shadows behind one of your friends can be quite frightening."

I turn around sharply, and look up at the creature before me. 'A Watcher, how did a Watcher get here?' I remembered learning about Watchers in Admin school. 'We, the Admins, are currently at war with them.'

"How did you get in my server and why are you all here?" I growl at the Watcher.

"Straight to the point I see. Well, I hacked into your server to answer the first question, which was quite easy I might add. And to answer your second question, I came here for you, but it's just me."

While speaking the Watcher had waved their hand around and rolled their eyes like they were talking about the weather and NOT hacking into someone else's server to kidnap them.

"Nobody's going anywhere, except you. You're leaving, and right now before you no longer can."

I glare at the Watcher and walk in front of my server's players. I prepare to protect them if necessary.

"Aw, how sweet, your little Admin is trying to prevent his friends from any harm happening to them." The Watcher says, clapping his hands together. The movement making his cloak swirl.

I growl again and my Admin mark starts to glow. My hands started to glow a faint red as well.

"Easy there Grian, no one has to get hurt today. All you have to do is surrender yourself to us and nobody gets hurt." The Watcher says, a look spreading across his face as he  realizes his mistake.

"Us? I thought it was just you here." I look at the Watcher accusingly.

Then, a thick, lavender, and sparkly mist formed. The mist gathered in small groups around spawn till there was roughly 5.

In an instant, out of the groups of mist appeared Watchers, all looking at me.

"⍑ᔑᓭ ⍑ᒷ ᔑ⊣∷ᒷᒷ↸ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ᓭ⚍∷∷ᒷリ↸ᒷ∷ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ⚍ᓭ?" The new Watchers said in unison, looking at the first Watcher.

They spoke in a language that felt familiar in some way. It was almost like I had heard it somewhere before. But try as I might, I couldn't remember where.

"リ𝙹, ⍑ᒷ ⍑ᔑᓭ リ𝙹ℸ ̣. I ↸𝙹リ'ℸ ̣ ʖᒷꖎ╎ᒷ⍊ᒷ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ᓵᔑリ ⚍リ↸ᒷ∷ᓭℸ ̣ ᔑリ↸ ⚍ᓭ ᒷ╎ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ∷." The first Watcher said back.

"Surrender to us now Grian, and we will not attack." A second Watcher that was from the group said, seemingly their leader.

"No, you want Grian, well you'll have to get through us first." BigB said.

Suddenly all of the Players from my server gathered in front of me, shielding me from the Watchers.

"Big mistake player, you have asked for death." The second Watcher said the word (player) like it tasted like rotten flesh from a zombie in his mouth.

That same Watcher then sent a blast of magic at me, preventing me from moving.

The Watchers all summoned swords to their hands and took on battle positions. They stood there on the ready, waiting for the cue to attack.

SystemZee took a step back, closer to me and pulled out his sword to defend against the Watchers.

Solidarity and Taurtis both pulled out their own swords, and then too, got into battle positions.

The rest of the Evolutionists doing the same, whether it be joining SystemZee around me or Solidarity and Taurtis.

The whole server then seemed to hold its breath, waiting for the other to make a move.

The Watchers charged first, with the first Watcher calling to not kill the Admin. And take down anyone who got in their way.

One of the Watchers struck at BigB, he was able to block it with his sword, but still got hit by the force of the attack through his block, which sent him to the ground.

Martyn attacked a different Watcher by slicing at their torso. The Watcher tried to bring their sword up to block, but was to slow. Martyn's sword was blocked partially but still cut the Watcher.

The Watcher hissed in pain and used their magic to send Martyn to a tree. He hit it full force and fell to the ground, unmoving.

Tomahawk and Mini both fought Watchers them selves and were able to land a strike or two before befalling to a fate similar to that of Martyn and BigB.

A Watcher then launched their attack on Pearl. She was one of the ones that were standing around me, they were using their swords to deflect magic blasts and arrows.

She blocked the Watchers strike with her sword and countered it with her own strike at their legs.

The Watcher brought their sword down and stopped Pearl's sword from hurting them. They then struck Pearl with their sword.

She saw the attack come though, and dodged the fatal attack. The sword still hit her shoulder though, causing her to scream and fall backwards clutching her shoulder.

SystemZee was attacked by one Watcher that came up behind him.

The Watcher struck at SystemZee's arm and hit it before he could block. He yelled in pain and dropped his sword so he could use his hand to apply pressure on his cut.

Netty shot an arrow at the Watcher who cut SystemZee. The Watcher turned to face the arrow flying toward their face before casting a shield up to block the arrow from hitting them.

A second Watcher then shot a magic blast at Netty, who took the hit to the chest, falling unconscious.

This left Taurtis, Solidarity, and me.

"Enough!" Shouted the Watcher leader.

A Watcher grabbed Taurtis and pulled him into a choke-hold except with a sword to his neck instead of his arm.

"Surrender now or this Player dies." The Watcher said firmly.

"Can't we talk about this first?" I ask. 'I don't want to surrender to the Watchers at all. But if Taurtis' life is on the line, I guess I have no other option.'

"╎⎓ ⍑ᒷ ╎ᓭ リ𝙹ℸ ̣  ⊣𝙹╎リ⊣ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ᓵ𝙹ᒲᒷ ∴╎ꖎꖎ╎リ⊣ꖎ||, ∴ᒷ ∴╎ꖎꖎ ⍑ᔑ⍊ᒷ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ℸ ̣ ᔑꖌᒷ ⍑╎ᒲ ∴╎ℸ ̣ ⍑ ⎓𝙹∷ᓵᒷ." The Watcher leader said to the one holding Taurtis.

"||ᒷᓭ ᓭ╎∷." The Watcher said to the leader in reply.

And to me, they used their sword that was against Taurtis' neck and sliced his neck.

The Watcher drops Taurtis to the ground and smiles a sickening smile as Taurtis' body lays limp on the ground, surly dead.

"NOOOO!" I shout at the Watcher.

Solidarity then comes out of his hiding spot and starts attacking the Watcher.

The Watcher dodges his attack and strikes Solidarity with his own.

Solidarity screams, and falls to the ground.

The Watcher then pulls out a splash potion, and throws it right at my chest.

I'm to frozen in shock to dodge, and feel the potion break, a few small pieces of glass digging into my skin.

The potion effects take over quickly and I can feel myself getting drowsy.

I bring my hands up to feel where the potion hit. I look down at my hands to see them covered in blood and some other purple liquid.

The Watcher that threw the potion walks over to me and sighs.

"It didn't have to end like this Grian, you could have prevented this."

The Watcher grabs my arm and leads me to a portal that one of the other Watchers made.

With my strength fading fast, I cast one last look at all my friends, now all scattered around spawn. They all lay unmoving, injured from the fight.

A sob escapes my mouth as I turn back to the portal.

As I get pulled into the portal by the Watcher holding my arm, I feel the last of my strength fade. And I fall into unconsciousness.

The first Watcher looks at the leader, then to all of the Players on the ground.

"∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣  ↸𝙹 ∴ᒷ ↸𝙹 ∴╎ℸ ̣ ⍑ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ !¡ꖎᔑ||ᒷ∷ᓭ ᔑリ↸ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ᓭᒷ∷⍊ᒷ∷?" He says to the leader.

"ʖ⚍∷リ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷᒲ ᔑꖎꖎ, ╎リᓵꖎ⚍↸╎リ⊣ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ╎∷ !¡ᔑℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷℸ ̣ ╎ᓵ ᓭᒷ∷⍊ᒷ∷." He says.

And that's a wrap for chapter II. What did ya'll think?

Remember to ask any questions you have about chapters that confuse you. I'll try to answer them as soon as possible.

A special thanks to XxFadingDreamsxX for helping to remind me of a certain player from the Evolution Server that I definitely didn't forget about.

And with that, I'll see you all in Chapter III.
