Story: Digitized Away
Chapter 1: Moving
Zoe Orimoto sat in her car, with a boring look on her face. She had her belongings and presents that her friends had given her next to her in the car. Her mother sat in front of her and her father drove the car.
She didn't want to move. Zoe had gotten her first ever friend the week she found out that she was going to move. Her new friend gave her flowers and a card that said, 'I'll miss you Zoe!' She sighed and looked out the window. Her eyes paid attention at the clouds in the sky.
"Are we there yet?" Zoe asked impatiently.
"No Zoe. But we're almost there." Her mother replied. "Please cheer up, honey. You'll love it here."
Zoe grunted and looked out the window. The car drove onto a ramp from the freeway and was going into a forest tunnel.
"Hm...did I take the wrong turn?" Her father asked as he stopped the car before taking the tunnel.
"No, you can see the houses! Our house is the blue house in the middle." Her mother replied and pointed at it.
"Then we should be able to get to the houses on this path." Her father said and took the tunnel.
A few leaves fell on the car and the windows, and the ground was a little uneven. The car rocked back and forth as it drove through the path and nearby the houses.
"I think this shortcut is the wrong way Dad..." Zoe said.
"The house should be at the end of the tunnel." Her father replied but when the car reached the end, the wall's hole was not big enough for the car to fit. "Great." He said sarcastically and parked the car in front of the other tunnel. He got out of the car and began walking inside.
"Zoe, if you want, you can stay here. But you don't have to." Zoe's mother said and got out of the car and followed her husband.
Zoe just stayed in the car. She looked around at her surroundings and noticed a little statue next to the car. The statue was as tall as Zoe, but was the shape of a round animal-like creature. She wasn't sure of what it was, but it was made of stone. Zoe sighed and got out of the car and looked at the statue. All of a sudden, the statue's eyes began to glow red, startling Zoe and making her run to where her parents were.
"Mommy! Daddy!" Zoe shouted and caught up with her parents. "You should have seen it! That statue next to the car! It's eyes glowed!"
"You must have been seeing things, Zoe." Her mother replied as they followed her father into the building.
The building had many other tunnels in front of them. There were clocks hanging on the ceilings and a few benches were against the walls.
"This used to be a train station..." Zoe's mother noticed. "I don't think this station isn't in use anymore."
As they were walking, Zoe heard a rumbling noise nearby. She opened her eyes and heard the noise coming from ahead of them.
"I hear a train!" Zoe exclaimed. "I hear it coming from somewhere ahead of us!"
Her father smiled. "Then that means that we're close to our new house!" He began to run into one of the tunnels were the light shone bright at the end.
Zoe clung tight to her mother and followed her father through the tunnel. The wind was strong as they walked through the tunnel, but was not strong enough for them to not go through. Once they got through the other side, they saw a grassy field with the wind blowing peacefully. Zoe's mouth dropped at how pleasant being in this setting felt.
"This is wonderful..." Her father said and looked over the tall grassy field. "I see buildings on the other side of this field. I think it leads to our house!"
The three of them, together, walked through the field as if they were in the jungle or rainforest. Zoe continued to cling onto her mother. They continued to walk for about 20 minutes, not feeling the least tired.
"We've been walking for a long time, sweetheart." Zoe's mother told her father. "Are we lost?"
Zoe's father jumped to see where they were. He saw the buildings ahead of them. "No. We're just getting close to the buildings. Just a little more walking will do it." He started walking ahead of them again, but were still in Zoe and her mother's sights. About 5 more minutes later, they reached the buildings. They seemed as if they had reached a theme park castle. It was giant, and was made of crystal and diamond. In front of it were stores of some sort.
"It's magnificent!" Zoe's mother exclaimed. They walked through the path in between the stores and noticed a certain store that held baskets of gold and diamond.
"Honey! Look! No one's even here to guard these! Let's get some!" Zoe's father exclaimed and ran towards them and grabbed a handful of them and put them in his pocket.
"Fine, but only a little okay?" Her mother replied and joined her husband.
Zoe ran to them. "I don't even think you should be doing that! Stop! Mommy! Daddy!" Her pleads couldn't stop them. Zoe sighed and walked towards the castle as her parents continued stuffing their pockets. She looked up at the majestic castle. It was very tall and clean, with a bridge in front of it. A train passed by and rumbled the bridge while it continued driving underneath it.
But what Zoe also noticed was a figure looking beyond the bridge as he leaned against the side. He was about her age, a little taller than her, had brown hair, and was very cute. His cute brown eyes were concentrated on his thoughts, and didn't notice that she was nearby and sighed.
"Takuya!" A male loud voice roared from inside the castle. The boy sighed and stood up straight. His eyes widened as he turned his eyes to Zoe, who was almost on the bridge.
"Get away from here!" Takuya shouted. "Before it's too late!"
Just then, the sky turned dark and cloudy. "It's starting...hurry up and leave here before it's too late!"
Zoe gasped and ran back to where her parents were. But her eyes widened as she noticed that instead of her parents, she saw two tapir like creatures that were levitating. "Mommy! Daddy! Is that you?" She shouted, only to get the two creatures to just look at her, and continued taking the valuables. A small robot like creature then got a leash and started to hit the two tapir creatures.
"Stop taking the valuables!" The robot exclaimed, and the tapirs stopped and fainted.
Zoe gasped and tried to run back to where the car was. Maybe those weren't her parents. Maybe they were back in the car without her. Maybe she was dreaming. Zoe pinched herself, but she was certain that she was wide awake. She continued running to where the grass was, but then noticed that the tall grass wasn't there, but instead, a giant lake with train tracks over them was there. A few trains with faces appeared and came rolling in. They stopped, and even more creatures came out of them. They were not animals, but mutated versions of them. Frogs, dogs, cats, any animal that Zoe knew and didn't know. Zoe hid behind a trash can as she saw what was happening. She tried to cover her eyes.
"This isn't real. This isn't real. This isn't real." She repeated in her head. She opened her eyes, to not see her hands, but to see the trains and the creatures. But her hands were right in front of her though! How can this happen?
"Zoe!" A voice shouted. She looked up to see the boy from earlier. Wasn't he supposed to be with the person who called him? Zoe didn't know anything that was happening. All she knew, was that the boy's name, was Takuya.
