Fear

Note: this is my first story, so it may not be the best. I hope you like it anyways... So here you go!
Anika sighed and ran a hand through her hair as she finished yet another video. People just couldn't get enough of them, for some reason. Her username was WolfOfTheStars, nicknamed WotS. She made videos of herself playing RPGs and put them on YouTube. She preferred longer games with storylines, although she had played a few that didn't have one. Like Slender, for instance. It had been alright, but it bored her quickly. She'd liked The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess a lot better. She wasn't as popular as, say, UberHaxorNova or TobyGames, but that didn't matter to her. She didn't want to be famous.
As she slowly and steadily worked through the mountains of homework that she'd left until Sunday night, her Skype beeped. Or was it a bloop? Whatever sound it was, she answered and wasn't surprised to see a familiar, grinning face.
"Felix! Hi!" she usually called him by his username (PewDiePie), but that seemed both too formal and too casual all at once on Skype. "How's Marzia?"
"She's good. What are you doing?"
"Just homework."
"Left it until Sunday night again?"
"Maybe..."
"I did that all the time. Don't worry about it, bro." He leaned back in his chair slightly. "I had the weirdest dream last night..." His gaze wandered around the room, and his eyes settled on something that Anika couldn't see. They widened, and he walked over to pick it up. He stared at it for a second. Then he came back to the computer screen and sat down. He looked shocked. Showing the object to Anika, he said. "Do you recognize this...?"
Anika's mouth fell open. A single, wispy-gray feather with a white star on it was in Felix's hand. She remembered giving this to him... But it couldn't have been real... could it?
Oh, but you, reader, don't know what happened. We shall have to go back to the beginning for you to understand...
