-Chapter 1-

Galaxy's POV 

It was another fall morning. I got up and got ready for the day just to see another pair of eyes meet mine...

It was my brother.

"What do you want?" I said while folding my eyes.

"What should I want?" Zeus said as he mocked the pose that I was doing. "How could you forget that today Poseidon is coming over."

"OH, YEAH! At least I won't have to deal with you alone." I said as I sighed in relief.

Zeus rolled his eyes and said, "Breakfast is downstairs, also mom and dad told you to come see them for a second."

"What do they need me for?" I said while raising an eyebrow.

"How am I supposed to know? Just go see what they need you for and stop asking me." 

"Okay, dang. No need for attitude." I said as I walked out of my room. 

I walked down the narrow hallway and knocked on my parents' door. "Come in." A voice said that sounded like my mom. I opened the door and walked into it just to see my parents sitting on the bed.

"We need to talk honey." My mom said while smiling.

"About what?" I said in response.

"About your future. Your 16, and you're in 11th grade. You still have 1 more year left in high school, so it's time you decide what you want to be when you're older."

"Mom, I already know what I want to be when I'm older! It's okay, no need to worry about it." I said as I smiled back.

"Okay then. Just let me know if you need help finding a college or a-"

"Mom."

"Yes?"

"I'm good."

"Alright. Go eat breakfast then. Love you."

"Love you too."

I walked out of the room and walked to the kitchen. I saw Zeus sitting down and eating breakfast and I decided to join him. Zeus looked at me as I sat down and rolled his eyes. I rolled my eyes back and looked the other way. Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door, and I saw that it was Poseidon.

"POSEIDON!" I said as I hugged him.

"Hey Galaxy!" Poseidon said.

Poseidon is 22 years old, and he lives on his own.

Zeus pushed me out the way and grabbed Poseidon's hand and dragged him to the couch.

"Poseidon, me and my friends downloaded this creepy game and there is a myth about it saying that if you don't play the game every hour you will die so, I am going to see if it is fake or not." Zeus said while showing him the game.

I walked closer to the couch and said, "What game?"

"It's none of your business." Zeus said to me.

"Zeus, it doesn't matter if it is a myth, it is still a negative game to play."

"Galaxy, you're just being paranoid now. I will hang out with you later, okay?" Poseidon said.

"Poseidon, you at least have to listen to me, tell Zeus to delete the game!"

"No can do little sis." Poseidon said as he turned his attention to Zeus. "So, what is the game called?" 

I rolled my eyes and walked away. They never listen to me even if I am trying to help. I just want to keep them safe, that's all.

_ _ _ 

3 hours passed by, and yet, I still had didn't even get to hang out with Poseidon yet. I just wanted to hang out with him because he is never around since he moved out. Since we were kids, he would always spend more time with Zeus than any time with me. It was probably because I wasn't that type of car racing video game person.

I finally had the urge to go downstairs to see Zeus and Poseidon asleep. Poseidon didn't get any time to spend time with me today. I was thinking about waking him up, but I heard a creak coming from the basement door. I walked slowly to it and closed the door hoping that it wouldn't open again. After, I heard footsteps coming from the basement. At first, it sounded like they were walking slowly up the stairs then it sounded like they were running up the stairs. My heart started racing so fast due to how close they were. When they were on my last step, the footsteps stopped, and the door cracked opened again.

I started sweating so hard and I started slowly backing up from the door. As I was backing up, the door started creaking more and more. I got so scared that I screamed and ran next to Poseidon and Zeus.

Zeus opened his eyes slowly and said, "What is wrong with you?!"

"T-THE DOOR!" I yelled.

Zeus looked at the door then looked at me like I was crazy, "What is wrong with the door?"

"IT CREAKED OPEN!"

"Galaxy, I know I didn't get to spend time with you today, but I am going to stay here for a while. No need to be jealous." Poseidon said.

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" I yelled back.

"I know you are jealous since I only spent time with Zeus today."

"WHAT?! I NEVER SAID I WAS JEALOUS!"

"THEN WHY WOULD YOU LIE ABOUT THE DOOR BEING OPENED JUST SO YOU CAN GET ATTENTION?!" Poseidon yelled.

I never heard Poseidon yell at me before until this day. Was he that mad for me telling the truth?

"W-WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" I yelled back as I started to tear up. "I AM TELLING THE TRUTH! I DID SEE AND HEAR THE DOOR CRACK OPENED, I ALSO HEARD SOMEONE RUNNING AND WALKING UP THE STAIRS TOO!" 

"CAN YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE FOR ONCE?! I CAN SPEND TIME WITH ZEUS ALL I WANT WITH OUT AN ANNOYING BRAT DISTRUPTING ME! SMH, I ALWAYS LIKED ZEUS BETTER THAN YOU!" Poseidon yelled as he turned away from me.

Then I thought something was wrong. This isn't Poseidon. No matter what, Poseidon will never yell at me, and he never had favorites.

"This isn't you." I said.

"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!" Poseidon yelled at me.

"THIS ISN'T YOU!"

Poseidon got up from the couch and walked up to me. He grabbed my and yanked it.

"WHAT DID I TELL YOU?" Poseidon yelled as he slapped my face.

 "FUCK YOU!" I yelled and ran upstairs. 

I overheard my parents from the other room saying, "Who the hell just cussed inside of the house?" I tried to ignore them as I slammed my room door. How could Poseidon say this about me? Then after, I remembered something.

The game.

Did the game change how they both acted like? Usually, if Poseidon were to fight me, Zeus would get involved but instead, he just kept quiet and started staring at us, and Poseidon will never yell at me nor pull my hair and slap me. 

I decided to get my phone and text on the group chat with all of my friends.

Galaxy: My brothers are acting a bit strange...

Gala: What happened???

Galaxy: Poseidon slapped me and dragged my hair. He also yelled at me too.

Dd: HE DID WHAT NOW?! I'M COMING OVER THERE RIGHT NOW!

Galaxy: NO, DON'T! IT'S ALRIGHT...

Jess: OOO WHO ARE WE FIGHTING TODAY?!

Galaxy: WE ARE FIGHTING NOBODY! 

Keith: Wait, we are fighting somebody?!

Galaxy: NOOO, WE ARE NOT! 

Dd: Good way to ruin the day galaxy.

Galaxy: Dd, hush. As I was saying... my brothers downloaded this game and ever since they played it, they never acted the same. 

Audrey: Wdym by them not acting the same???

Galaxy: Well, Zeus is acting a bit nicer than before, and Poseidon is acting WAY meaner than before.

Dd: And you think a game caused this...?

Galaxy: Yeah.

Gala: What is the game called?

Galaxy: I'm not sure... all I know is that you have to play the game every hour or else you will die. I tried to tell my brothers to not download it, but Zeus just called me paranoid.

Gala: So, how could it change their personality?

Galaxy: Maybe because... I don't even know! They just seem... different. It's as if it is not even them and someone is pretending to be them...

Dd: I figured something out!

Galaxy: What?

Dd: Maybe since they played it, someone took away their life and now is acting like them.

Galaxy: But how could somebody act to be them?

Dd: And how can an app change someone's personality???

Dd said as she got offline. Dd seemed as if she didn't believe me. I was still scared to get out of my room. What if Dd was right? What if someone is acting as my brothers and my brothers are... somewhere else... I had to get to the bottom of this, but I am not sure how I can figure it out though.

Maybe I could... tell my parents about it? Or maybe I could tell...

Rosie.

(A/N: Hey guys! I hope to make this book have more than 8 chapters since every book I do has like only 3-8 chapters. I will try to make the chapters shorter, and I will come up with more ideas for this book! Bye for now!)
