Day 0 - And so it Begins

A/N: I'm only saying this once: I don't own anything but the plot and my OCs that will be making appearances much later on.

For in case you get confused:

mlgHwnT = Steven/Steve. He's usually not called by his username in the videos, so I'll mostly use Steve and Steven.

BurtGasm = Burt. He's usually called Burt in the videos, so I won't use his username too much.

FilmyzMC = Jeff. He's always called Jeff in the videos, so I won't use his username.

deliVince = Vince. I don't think we know his real name. Plus, the crew usually calls him Vince.

kuledud3 = kule/Garrick. All three names are used commonly.

Tim = Tim. Yes, he's Gortume in the videos, but I imagine them as two separate characters. Plus, it helps with the plot.

Gortume = Gortume/Gorto. Burt, in a few of his videos, called him 'Gorto.' This name will be used sparingly.

All the characters will look like their Minecraft skins. Tim's appearance will be based on the skin he used in his first livestream.

Also, I don't know if Burt's Minecraft skin is wearing a sweatshirt or a hoodie, so I'm going to go with a hoodie for now.

How old is everyone? And how old should Gortume be?

"Talking"

'Words on paper'

/Words on signs/

oOo = time skip

xXx = POV shift (Ex. "Meanwhile...")

Steven was running in a forest. He was running from something, but couldn't remember what. He just had to keep on going.

Twenty days...twenty days...twenty days...

Those two words echoed around in his head. Why? What was in twenty days? The end of school? A doctor's appointment?

The trees opened into a clearing. A few yards in front of Steve was what appeared to be a Nether Portal from Minecraft. For some unknown reason, the YouTuber just had to reach it, or something bad would happen.

Suddenly, the portal just vanished. Steven skidded to a stop, staring in disbelief. Where did it go?!

A deep voice danced around the clearing. Steven paled, recognizing who it belonged to.

Gortume.

He started to run again, trying to escape the orange-eyed menace. There were footsteps not too far behind him; Gortume always loved a good chase.

Then the treeline abruptly ended, and so did the word. Steve managed to stop himself from running off of the edge. He whipped around, scanning the dense forest for his pursuer. He couldn't see anything.

I ' , ~

He gulped, turning back to the void. Steven only saw black nothingness. From what he could tell, he had three options: jump now and probably die, wait for Gortume to catch up and definitely die, or run and pray to god that he didn't run into the tan-skinned man.

Steve yelped in surprise, feeling a rough hand clamp onto his shoulder.

"Found you," Gortume whispered into his ear.

Then he shoved the younger man off, and Steve was falling.

Down,

down,

down

into the dark void.

A/N: And that's the start of HIde and Go Gortume: 20 Days! Please let me know what you think, and what I can change, if anything.

To those reading this on Tumblr: I know, I promised to have this up last Friday (5/31/13), but what I had then was shit. This is why I don't set deadlines.

To those on Tumblr, , and deviantArt: I hope to have the next chapter out no later than the 16th. But I have some good news: I get out of school on June 18th! This means more time for my writing!

Also, I'm not accepting OC submissions. This might change, though. But don't get your hopes up.
