I really hope that's how you spell it. 😝

Becca's POV

I took deep breaths as the crowd around us stood dead silent.

"Ah, you must be Becca." Red grinned, looking me over. "Gray is not a typical eye color." I frowned slightly and tilted my head.

"Judging from the fact that you're not answering me, I'm gonna assume that you're Becca."

He looked over at Jane, who had let Rachel go and was just holding her shoulder. "R-Red? H-How did you get here? Please tell me you aren't taking Becca again." Rachel quivered.

Red smirked and pulled his gun from its holster, twirling it on his finger. His men pulled out some AKs and cocked them, making everyone besides us jump back a good 5 feet. "Hmm...so your sister is still alive. Strange. Anyways...nice dimension and all, but I have my orders."

Orders? Red listens to no one. Why would he be taking orders from someone?

I was contemplating whether or not to run. Seeing as how they all had guns, I'd rather not risk those Minecraft bullets being harmful or not. I was seriously considering just going.

My friends and sister, though, had a COMPLETELY different idea. Jane and Rachel walked up behind me and Gerrin stood by my side. "You're not taking her ANYWHERE." Gerrin growled. I smirked slightly before glaring at Red.

Red just laughed. "I was hoping you would say that. She does need more test subjects."

What?

Red cocked his gun, but it wasn't to shoot us. It must've been some kind of signal because the 3 men ran forward and grabbed me, Gerrin, and Jane. Red picked up Rachel and slung her over his shoulder.

"AHHHH!!! PUT ME DOWN YOU CHILD ABUSER!!!" Rachel yelled whilst slamming her tiny fists into Red's back. My eyes widened as the man on me pulled my arms behind my back. A sharp but quick pain was in my wrist as my thoughts were...getting jumbled.

I struggled, but not as hard as I would've liked. My attempts were getting weaker for some reason.

"Becca?! BECCA!!" Gerrin yelled. I was snapped out of my daze to see him and Jane shoved through the portal, the men going through right after.

My mind became muddled again. What the crap? Becky, Rebekitah, what's wrong with me...?

I could feel my eyes starting to close. I felt myself slump forward onto the ground. The man picked me up bridal-style as I closed my eyes, the muddly feeling overwhelming me.

Help....

*LE TIME SKIP TO HER WAKING UP*

I gasped and sat up fast. The muddly feeling was long gone. I looked around frantically to see I was in a small bedroom with only the bed I was lying on.

I stood up fast before falling to my knees. I grunted on the impact, but it didn't hurt.

I pushed myself up and looked around. Cobblestone...wooden door...red bed with a white pillow.... These were all Minecraft items. They all had the same Minecraft textures.

I adjusted my glasses before walking up to the door and opening it. Wooden doors couldn't be locked.

I peeked out of the room to see a 2 block wide hallway. There were 3 other wooden doors in the hallway. I saw on each end of the hallway were iron doors. There weren't any buttons or levers, so I figured these other rooms were the only ones I could go to.

I walked down a bit to the door right next to mine. I opened it to see Gerrin still konked out on the bed. I ran up to him and got on my knees right next to him, holding his hand. A tear rolled down my cheek. How did I get them involved? WHY did I let them get involved?!? Becky! Rebekitah! Please, I need some guidance!

SORRY. THESE PEOPLE ARE CURRENTLY UNREACHABLE.

I nearly yelped out loud. Rebecca?! How?!?! You were in the Sub-conscious cage!

KEYWORD WERE. OR IN A MORE PROPER GRAMMATICAL TERM, I WAS IN THE CAGE.

...How...?

...Silence. She didn't respond.

Gerrin, however, did.

"Uhhhhh...wha...BECCA?!"

I nodded eagerly and hugged him. He pulled back and kissed me on the lips. I practically melted into it. (I...haven't really kissed anyone...for real. I've kissed, yeah...but it wasn't really real. What I'm trying to say is...scenes where they're kissing might be bad and cringe-worthy. :-\)

I pulled back and grinned widely. I beckoned to him to follow me as we went in the door just across from his.

I heard quiet sobbing as I opened the door. I didn't see anyone at first, but I then noticed a bit of brown hair poking out from under the bed.

I ran and dove down, skidding on my knees so I was right next to the bed. I bent down and looked under. Rachel!

I grabbed her arm and pulled her out. She began screaming. "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!"

I grabbed her head and forced her to look at me. She stopped screaming and just stared. "B-B-Becca?"

I nodded gently and pulled her into a gentle but tight hug. She began crying again, but this time, it was out of relief.

"Oh, Becca! I'm so scared! How did Red get to us?" Rachel asked as she backed up.

I shook my head and shrugged. I then stood up and grabbed Rachel's hand, helping her up.

Gerrin, who had been watching from the doorway, stepped back as I walked out, Rachel holding my hand.

We dashed into the final room and saw the one other person of our group. Jane.

She was still konked out, just like Gerrin was. I ran up to her and grabbed her hand. It must've been some kind of trigger because she bolted up, breathing fast.

"Whoa! Calm down, Jane! It's just us!" Gerrin exclaimed.

She looked us over and sighed a breath of relief. "Thank God we're all here." She mumbled.

I nodded and stood up, walking out the door and towards the iron doors at one end of the hall. I pushed on them as hard as I could, but nothing happened. I turned around to see the 3 pushing on the other set of doors with the same results.

We met up in the middle. "Locked?" I nodded. Gerrin groaned. "Same. How are we supposed to get out of here?"

I furrowed my brows as Rachel came over and hugged me around the waist. I unconsciously hugged her back as I thought. I hadn't seen any writing materials in the rooms, so I couldn't communicate. There weren't any items lying around that we could use. We were truly stuck in here until someone got us.

As if Fate had read my mind, both doors on the ends of the hallway opened.

2 of Red's men came from my left while 1 of Red's men and Red came from my right. My eyes went wide and I pushed everyone into the nearest room. I heard Red's laughter ring through the air. I backed everyone up as far from the door as possible before I stepped forward, prepping myself for a fight. I balled my fists and held them in front of me Taekwondo-style. One in front of my face and one in front of my heart.

Red entered the room first, a smirk on his face. For a millisecond, I thought I saw regret rush through his eyes, but it went so fast that I couldn't tell. All I knew was that Red was being the old Red again.

"So...you guys finally woke up. That's good. She was getting QUITE impatient to meet you all."

I snarled at him as I tensed up. She? Who's she?

Red's men took a step forward, probably to take us to this 'she'.

My fists went tighter as I swung at one of the closer men. He blocked it and grabbed my fist, causing me to flip onto the ground. (Don't ask how a blocky hand can grab a human fist. Just go with it.☺)

He placed his foot on my back to hold me down. I squirmed a bit before getting an idea. I sat still for a second before pushing up, causing him to become unbalanced and fall forward. I rolled to the right so he wouldn't crush me. I leapt up and away from him so he couldn't grab me again. I got back into my fight position as he stood back up. Instead of going towards me, though, he went back to his position by Red.

"Now Becca, don't be like that. We can do this without incident." Red sneered.

I snarled again and backed up. One of my fists came down as someone held it. I looked back to see Gerrin holding my hand. I frowned at him and tilted my head.

He frowned in that really cute way that wanted to make me giggle. "Becca...this is probably not a good time to be fighting the people who captured us. We're unarmed and we're just teens and a child. They're most likely armed and they're adults."

I sighed deeply, which scared Rachel a bit because she thought I'd turned into a zombie at that moment. I lowered my other fist and relaxed it, letting it fall to my side. I glared at Red before nodding at him once. Him and his men stepped out of the way as I led my small group back out into the hall. I looked both ways to see that the doors to the left were shut, but the ones to the right were opened.

I squeezed Gerrin's hand before walking towards it. I looked behind us to see Jane holding Rachel's hand. Red and his group were directly behind them.

I groaned and looked forward, walking to wherever we were supposed to go.

Many of the paths were blocked by Red's men, so the place we needed to go seemed to be more obvious.

Once we arrived at the place we were going, I looked around to see a cage. There was a zombie in it, but...it looked...familiar. I let go of Gerrin's hand and walked over to the cage, peering in. The figure turned around to reveal someone that I'd thought had died.

"W-Well. Look who i-it is. Becca, r-right? I bet y-you thought I w-was gone. You were w-wrong. I'm just a m-more controlled version of my cr-creations. My daughter is g-going to make a f-formula that will make m-me not want to k-kill her. Then, I-I'll be one w-with the new in-inhabitants of the E-Earth. I will k-kill all who w-want to end this n-new race." Ross stuttered.

I stumbled back into Gerrin.

"Hehehehe...So. You found my father."

I whirled around to see a female. She looked about 18. Her sparkly purple shirt had a bit of blood on it. Her brown hair seemed to be pulled back into a ponytail. She had black sports pants with...I think silver on the sides running down. She had fluffy purple boots on, too. Her green eyes shone with slight madness but mostly excitement. It terrified me.

Jane and Rachel got pushed next to us as the men had their guns pointed at us.

"Who are you?" Gerrin asked, trying to keep the fear from his voice.

"Ahahaha! Me? Well...."

She pulled something that looked like Wolverine claws from her pocket and whipped them on. Before anyone could react, she had her claws under Gerrin's chin, forcing him to look in her eyes.

"I'm Keona Owner."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HaHA! I have now fully...sorta...introduced the OC. I'm really curious as to where this series will be going.

If you remember back in book 1, I had said that I'd completely veered from my written draft. I've been reading the story right along you guys since chapter 2 of book 2. So honestly? All I have are some main points I want to have throughout this book, but I have NO IDEA when I'll introduce them. :P

Also...prepare yourselves for...like...20 something notifications because I'm giving names to all the chapters in my first book.

So...smash that vote button at hyper speeds, Hyperfans!
