Chapter 1

"Damn it!" Cry shouted and smacked the keyboard out of complete frustration. "Gawd!" He said while pinching the bridge of my nose, trying to calm down. Ever since he tried installing a new game called "Insanity" on his laptop, it kept breaking down. Whenever he tried playing it, it would either crash or make his laptop crash. Sighing, he adjusted his glasses and stared at the blue screen of his laptop. Being stubborn, he was doing all that was in his power to make the game work. "Let's try this again, friend" He said muttering to himself and set back to work.

About an hour or so later he was finally able to make the laptop work. "Yes!" He practically leaped for joy. He rubbed his blue eyes and combed a hand through his messy auburn hair. It was probably 3 in the morning but he didn't care. All that mattered was he finally might be able to try the game.

Humming, he clicked on the skull shaped icon. The screen turned completely black for a moment, he was almost thought that the laptop might've crashed again. Suddenly a loud piercing scream came from the speakers of the laptop. Blue pixels slowly enveloped the screen, until it was completely enveloped with it. White pixels started appeared, forming the word "Insanity". Below it the "play" button glowed with a whitish hue. Smirking, his hand slowly crept to the mouse. In the process he somehow managed to knock over his cup of coffee, which of course spilled its contents all over the laptop.

"Shit!" He instantly stood up and tried to salvage the poor device. The laptop gave out one last spark before dying. "No, no, no, no, no. Don't die on me." He pleaded but alas, the coffee covered laptop could no longer work. Groaning in frustration he kicked his dresser and flopped unto his bed. Sweet blissful sleep would've come if his phone hadn't ringed. He reached for the buzzing phone on the dresser. "What?!" He snapped. The person the other line seemed to hesitate for a moment.

"Cry? Bro, is that you?" Pewdiepie asked concerned.

Cry internally smacked himself for snapping at his friend. "Yeah, it's me. Sorry for snapping at you, friend. It's been a pretty bad night." He sighed.

"Why? What happened?"

"I broke my laptop trying to play a game."

"You tried playing Cat Mario?"

At that, Cry couldn't help but laugh. "No, just…" He combed a hand through his hair, embarrassed by what happened. "Everything just went downhill. Look I gotta go, friend. I need some sleep. It's around 3 in the morning here."
"Sure. Good morning Cry."
"Good night Pewds." And with that they both hung up. Sighing in relief, he collapsed in complete exhaustion.

*There's a bear inside your stomach. The cub's been kicking from within.*

The song played, almost like background music in a movie. Its chilling tone sent a shiver through Cry's spine. He was nowhere, literally. There was nothing around him but white blank space.

"I see you've come to." A familiar deep voice said behind him. He turned around to see a complete replica of himself. He was wearing the same green hoodie and baggie jeans. His equally auburn hair was in the same messy shape. The only difference about them scared him.

*He's loud, though without vocal chords. We'll put an end to him.*

The other Cry's eyes were just black. No Irises, but just one glowing blue dot in the center of each eye representing what should've been a pupil. "W-who a-are you? W-where am I?!" Cry stuttered out. His doppelganger cackled, his laugh sounded like static. "I am you and you are me. We're in the motherboard. Or at least you'll be." He laughed almost insanely. Fear ran up Cry's spine as he slowly backed away. He had to get away from him.

"Want to run? Be my guest." The doppelganger cackled. "There's nowhere to hide Cry. No one's here to save you now." His doppelganger grabbed the front of his clothes. Suddenly his hands started to disappear, breaking into small pixels and fade away. He opened his mouth to scream but no sound came.

*We'll make all the right appointments. No one ever has to know.*

Cry woke up with a jolt, his feet kicking the desk. Wait….. Why would there be a desk? He sat up straight. He was in his room, in front of his laptop. He glanced at the clock. It was around 9 in the morning. He adjusted his glasses and sighed in relief. It was all just a dream. He glanced at the laptop and saw that Pewdie was calling him through Skype. After stretching a bit he answered his call.

"Hey Cry, What's up? I thought you said your laptop's broken." Pewdie asked concerned.

It wasn't a dream Cry. The familiar voice rang in his ears; he turned around expecting to see himself. But all he saw was the blank wall of his room. He instantly paled.
"Cry? You okay bro?" Pewdie asked again more concerned than before.
"Yeah man, just tired is all." He answered after clearing his throat.

Tired or going insane Cry? The voice cackled in his mind.
