Crimson Dust: Danger
„..." I stare at the ceiling with my dead-like eyes, I just woke up after collapsing in Second Life and automatically logging out. I somehow know it wasn't a dream that I could talk... no the dream was those horrid memories that resurfaced so real. I experienced the pain of back than again and my body feels like it will collapse again the second I get up.
/I was talking back there... Does Second Life allow you to talk? It's not like my real body is in the game so my voice should function... But that sure was a shock! I never imagined I would hear my voice again after my throat was slit.
The doctors were able to save me in the last minute but there simply was no way to save my voice.../ I hit my head with my pillow and grab the phone beside my bed. I text school and continue to sleep.

„Why hasn't girly come back yet?!" Idiot screeches.
„Maybe she's sick?" one person suggests.
„As if" another snorts „That girl always wears a scarf here. I think she wears one in real life, too. Why else would she do that here? It may not be warm but it isn't cold either. Aaahhh!"
3 o'clock obviously found it too loud and scratches the poor man to the revival point. The other players make space around him in order to be spared. The cat came back two days ago without Dust, he didn't even seem to have told Kaikishoku or Flower something for the two were worried sick about their leader.
„Hey! I have news from the Central continent!" A girl waves to the group.
Kaikishoku stops his endless pacing „What is it?"
„The winner of the Central continents Adventurerers Tournament is finally decided! It's team Odd Squad!" she exclaims with a huge smile.
„I know that one! One of my classmates talked about it the day school started because Zita didn't know it" Idiot suddenly frowns „Zita's quite weird... no matter what you do she will never talk, only scribble on that notepad of hers"
„Ah, right!" One girl says „You are in my parallel class, so you surely mean Zita Yakira, right?"
„Yep, her" he confirms with his eyes to the sky.
„I heared she is highly intelligent and was often asked to work in big companys but she always declined. They say she stated that she will finish school and search for a job that suits her! She could go literally everywhere with her skills! Even though she never joined a company she helped them out and not only them, I hear she helped authors find ideas or gives them advises. She's like a star, most people know her! Right?!" she adresses the other players who nod.
Only the idiot frowns „I never heard of her before..."
„Because you literally live under a rock" one man says while he sticks his tongue out.
„I don't live under a rock!" Idiot throws a table at a poor victim.

Ring~ Ring~
I lift my upper body /Who rings at the door at such a time?/ I yawn and stand up. The ringing doesn't stop and I intent to shout out that I'll be there only to remind myself that I don't have a voice. I open the door and get pushed back forcefully. My dead-like eyes widen in horror.
There he stands with a sick grin on his face „Took you long enough... hihi!"
I start running into my room in order to grab my phone but a knife sizzled past me, destroying it.
„That won't~ work~ hihihi" he laughs as he starts to dash after me.
I run into my room and close the door as fast as I can. /That won't stop him.../
Creaks already form on the door „That won't stop me! It's just wood!"
I look around my room franic and discover my laptop. It's on and I quickly write a message down and send it.
I pull away from it just as the door gives in and he stands before me „There's nowhere you can run... hihihi... Your phone is destroyed and you won't be able to send a message from that laptop of yours since I will stab your feet... hihihi! Prepare to die, Zita Yakira... No, Chaos Devastation!"
Puzzles at his words, I try to evade the swing of his knife only to be hit by a second one in the side. Blood gushes out and I hold my side in pain.
„Won't do... hihi!" he stabbs me into my stomach and sclices good two centimeters to the side, I fall onto the ground „You will die faster this way!" He snickers crazy and stabs my feet, preventing me from getting up „Hope you like slowly bleeding out! Hihi...HIHIHI!" He runs out and closes the main-door.
I struggle to get my feet to move but all the bloodloss makes me dizzy. My body goes limp, I don't notice the light 'pling' of my laptop, I finally lose consciousness...
