"I'm kind of scared you know...? What happens to my life when we get back...? Airy kind of... Ruined everything..." Liam asked as he leaned back against the bush.

"I'm not sure... My life has sucked though... ever since my sister died." Bryce admitted, and turned towards Liam.

"Died? Sister...? Oh my god... I'm so sorry..." Liam mumbled apologetically.

"Don't be... It's been years I..."
Bryce paused
"I've gotten over it..."

Liam stared at him for a moment, before sighing and looking up at the bright blue sky. "I uh... don't... remember my family..." Liam sighed. "I think they died but...'it was so long ago..." Liam stared at the floor.

"Oh... Guess we have something else in common huh? Ahaha..." Bryce laughed awkwardly, and then laid his 'head' on the grass.

"Heheh... I guess so." Liam smiled.

Liam blinks a few times... and he realized everything changed. He can't move... but... hes staring at a screen... It's hypnotizing... but he could've sworn it's blank. He can't look away, he can't move. It's almost as if someone is holding him in place.

He stared at the screen, and his body felt like it moved on its own, as he reaches towards it... everything was so fuzzy. Only for a minute though... then it all went dark. The last thing he remembers is falling onto the stone floor.

Liam was startled awake, he gasped as he opened his eyes. "What... what the heck was that...?" Liam rubbed his eyes, and stood up quietly. He looked towards Airy's bed. He was asleep, he must've returned while Liam was out. Liam limped over to the door and opened it. He looked up at the inky black sky.

Liam sighed and tried to collect his thoughts... the dream was a bit fuzzy. But he remembers that he was talking to Soda bottle... He rubs his head, flinching at the splitting headache he was having. It was just a dream right? That wasn't real. But... it felt so real...! And... He said something about Airy... Ruining his life...? How could that be?!

Liam sighed and decided to search for the answers himself. He stepped out of the house and started limping towards the cave. So he could ask Soda Bottle himself. He made his way over to the computer. It always gave him an unsettling feel... Liam pressed the button on the microphone and began speaking.

"H—hey..." Liam mumbled.

There was a few gasps and startled responses from the objects on the planet. but they start talking.

"What the hell do you want?! You f*cking nearly killed Bryce!" Charlotte screams. Charlotte stomped her foot in the grass from pure rage and irritation.

"I need help..." Liam mumbled. He didn't dare to look at the planet... Not after what he did.

"Help—?!" Charlotte was cut off by Amelia.

"What do you need help with?!" Amelia questioned.

"Does..." Liam paused for a moment. "Does Bryce have a sister...?" He asked. Very nervously. I mean... it was just a dream right...? Surely... it wasn't—

"Yeah... I—I did..." Bryce answered weakly. He sounded like he was on death's door. Liam didn't bother to look at the planet. He felt bad for what he did...

Liam felt his heart drop... His anxiety sky rocketed. "What...?!" Liam said taken aback. It was real?! So does that mean... that Airy is... "N—no... nonono... no! NO!" Liam screamed. "You're Lying! you HAVE to be lying...!"

"Liam..." Bryce called from the small floating planet. "I had a sister... H—her name is Stella." Bryce said quietly.

"Sh—she's dead..." Liam said, with his head hurting more then ever.

"Y—yeah..." Bryce replied in a more sad tone. He was pretty upset as is, but with this topic...? It... wasn't helping...

"No... No! NO!" Liam shouted. That means that... That Airy LIED to him...! Liam felt like he was going to be sick, He began to look through the computer and found a file with his name on it. He opened it and found his information, which made him audibly gasp as he read it.

But then, Just like a light switch... It all made sense. And he saw another vision.

"What the—..."

"A—AIRY?! WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING?!" Liam screamed as he backed himself further into the cave. It was a dead end regardless.

"I'm... Making you.. Listen..." Airy replied as he took another step closer. "I just... wanna talk." Airy said sounding monotone, but stern.

"NO! GET AWAY FROM ME!" Liam shout as he tries to attack Airy. But his aim was terrible... He missed because Airy dodged.

Airy swiftly grabbed Liam's backpack handle and dragged him towards the computer. "It... Will only take... A minute... Th—then we can talk..."

"N—NO—! UGH! GET OFF!" Liam screamed as he tried to struggle out of Airy's grasp.

Airy clicked some buttons on his computer and swiftly turned away. He then shoved Liam to look at the screen.

Liam froze. He stared with anger for a few seconds before his face practically melted into a deadpan stare. He stared intensely at the screen unable to speak anything, but it seemed like he was attempting to do so, because his mouth occasionally twitched as if to talk. After a few seconds, Liam collapsed and as he hit the ground Airy stood over him. Waiting...

"Liam...?"

...

"Liam...?!"

"LIAM!!!"

Liam snapped back into the real world. He realized he had backed away from the screen. He moved his gaze away from at it and looked behind him.

Airy was stood there.

"O—oh... Oh no..." Liam whispered.

Airy...

Didn't look happy...
