Chapter six: Other Worlds
Maya's POV
I woken up by the sounds of panic screams from outside, 'What is going on out there?' I thought. I looked around the room and I quickly realized that this is... Gill's room?
'Why am I in his room?' I then got up from the bed and walk up to the cauldron and splash water on my face. After the water dripped from my face, I then saw that Gill's face was in the reflection. My eyes widened and I screamed, "Aaahhhh!!"
"I'm in Gill's body?!" I yelled then quickly covered my mouth, "Oh great, I have his voice too."
I soon realized that if I'm him, then that means... that. 'Oh, no!' I thought as the idea went to my head. I quickly sprinted out of the room and ran upstairs to the room to the right.
I opened the door and saw my own body sound asleep in the bed. I lightly sighed as I started poking him, he slightly groaned and turned to his side.
"Five more minutes Aiden~" he moaned in his sleep drooling on the side of his mouth. I growled at his laziness and punched him in the shoulder.
"Ow!" he hissed, "Why did you do that?!" His expression changed to shock and confusion as he faced me. "Why-why is my body in front of me?"
"Umm... hi Gill," I said nervously, "This may sound ridiculous, but we have swapped bodies. I'm Maya."
Gill's eyes widened as he heard that, "What?!" he asked in surprise. I nodded as he got up from the bed and looked at me. "So, what should we do?"
"We should go and see Aiden if he swapped with anyone or not." I suggested. Gill nodded in agreement and we headed to Aiden's room.
Isa's POV
I opened my eyes as the sunlight entered my room. I straightened up as I rubbed my eyes and a yawn escaped my mouth, I then gotten off the bed and went to the cauldron to wash my face and also to wake me up with the cold water.
As I splashed the water on my face, I felt something... off over my lips. I glance over at the water as it showed... Milo's face staring back at me.
"WHAT?!" I yelled in surprise, then I held my hand around my throat. I-it sounded... My voice it sounded like his.
I continue looking at my new reflection, and sure enough, I'm really in Milo's body. His soft turquoise eyes stared back at me, and his blonde hair slightly sway as I leaned forward towards the cauldron to get a better look at myself... or himself so to speak.
'Wait, if I'm in his body then that must mean-' my eyes widen as the idea came to my thoughts. My face flared up as panic went through my emotions. "I must go back to my place!" I declared as I ran out the door and headed towards my house.
After a while, I got to my home. I opened the door, which I must have forgotten to lock it late night, and walked right in. I saw Benedict resting on the small bed that I made for her, she looked up at me and happily chirped at my presence.
I gave her a small smiled before continuing my way to my room. As I opened the door, I saw that Milo was still asleep. Thank goodness that he wasn't awake yet.
I walked towards the bed and poked at him, he slowly opened his eyes as he looked at me, "What, who is ther-" he stopped as he stared at me in surprise, "Why? Why is my body over there when I'm over here!?"
"Milo, I have to tell you that... I'm you and you're me. We somehow swap bodies." I explained to him, hoping that he won't freak out- what am I thinking, of course he'll freak out!
Milo stared at me confused before he saw his reflection in the mirror. His skin turned pale then he collapsed on the floor and pass out.
I sighed in disappointment but then I thought that he would've done that even if I wasn't here to show him his reflection. I waited for him to wake up so we can discuss this situation a little bit better.
Cassie's POV
"Aiden! Aiden!" A voice called out. I opened my eyes to see a girl with dirty-blonde hair and a red shirt with a blue E on it. My emotions were filling up with confusion and fear as she stared at me.
Wait- Am I in a...bed? But how? The girl looked at me with concern and asked me, "Aiden, are you okay?"
"Gill," a male said by the door, "We should have asked if he's himself or not." Wait, but isn't Gill a boys name?
"Oh, right Maya." the girl nodded at his statement and turned her attention back to me, "Are you Aiden or someone else!?"
I stared in confusion before looking down at myself. My eyes widen at what I saw; I wasn't wearing my white-pumpkin suit anymore, and instead I was having a black jacket, a light green shirt, and black jeans.
"Wha-What?!" I yelled in disbelief, but then I noticed that my voice sounded really different. I came to the conclusion that I've somehow swapped bodies with this...person.
But that should be impossible. The switch portal should've been the only way to get swapped around!
"Umm..." I mumbled, "I'm Cassie. Cassie Rose."
The girl's eyes widened in shock as I said my name. I looked at her in confusion but I also felt some concern about this. Dose she know who I am, somehow?
"Oh." The girl muttered as she looked at the boy, "Umm, Maya. What should we do?"
They seem to be talking about me. Have they heard about me from those 'YouTubers' or whatever their group was called. They stopped talking to each other before approaching me and the 'Maya' person had something behind his back.
"I'm sorry, but we have to do this." The boy said as the girl held me down on a chair. I struggled to get out of their hold on me but they manage to held me down and the male took out what he was holding behind his back. Rope.
They began to wrap the rope around my body as I continued struggling to get out. They tightened the knot to make sure that I didn't escape, I think.
The two took four steps back before looking at each other in concern. Then, they walked out of the room leaving me alone...
Alone.
Aiden's POV
I had woken up by the sounds of a cat's meowing. Looking down that myself and I saw a little orange, white, and black cat. The cat yawned before he looked up at me.
I yelled in surprise and stumbled backwards away from the feline. Then, I nearly fell down in a hole or pit and I quickly got back on the platform that I was on.
Breathing heavily, I briefly looked down at the hole and I saw tons of deadly Ender-mites below. I gulped as I looked at the monsters below and then I saw the surroundings around me; dirt and terracotta blocks, two iron doors at my sides, and a hole above me.
I looked back at the cat as he looked at it's paws and purred softly in my arms. 'I have to get out of here!' My mind declared as I slowly got up from my platform without falling, checking my inventory I had find a single Ender pearl.
I didn't have time to question why there was an Ender pearl in my pockets, but I needed it to try and escape and also to not screw up this one shot. I throw the pearl upwards as hard and far as I can. Then the teleportation started and I quickly grabbed onto the ledge with one hand and holding the cat in my other, I struggled to pull myself up before I manage to get me and the cat up onto the ground surface.
I huffed and puffed as I looked around the morning field filled with trees and a pond a few feet away.
"Now, where..." I quickly covered my mouth as I noticed that my voice sounded too high from my normal voice. It sounded like a girls. I looked down at myself and saw that I was wear a deep-dark blue suit instead of my leather jacket and green shirt.
I ran up towards the pond and looked at it's reflected surface. And in my horror, I saw a girl with long, red hair and glasses on her face, with beautiful aqua green eyes. The hair looked like the description that Lukas told of the horrible and scary Cassie Rose, the White Pumpkin.
"Am-Am I?..."
Someone gasped behind me in shock, I turned around and saw a man with a long sleeved jacket with a bright blue shirt and gray-black pants. He had blue hair and hazel brown eyes.
He shake in fear as much as I was. Did he knew this Cassie girl? And if he did, that would mean bad news for me, cause I'm now the murderous White Pumpkin.
I slowly walked backwards a few steps before starting to ran away from this man before he did anything. The cat followed behind me as I tried to find an area where people didn't knew about this woman. 'Notch have mercy on me!' I prayed in my mind as I continued running.
Harper's POV
I groaned as I opened my eyes and struggling to get up from the ground. I gotten my vision cleared up after a few seconds and I started to notice something strange... I was in the portal network or the portal hallway as Jesse's group called it.
My thoughts were filled up with confusion as I stared at the empty hall. Why am I here? How did I even get here? I was in my underground lab, how did I get all the way here?
As my mind was going around of questions and unknowing answers, I then notice something wrong with my sleeves... and my hand.
My hand was a little bit smaller and was a paler tone? The sleeve of my clothes were looser, longer, and a different color, red and black.
Panic started to fill up my emotions, as I prayed that this can't be true. I looked down at my body and saw the rest of the red and black dress with a silver cross by the hip line. Then I stroked my hand through my hair and saw it was a light shy blue. It didn't take me a long time to come to the conclusion that...
"I'm M-Mevia?!"
Her voice came out of my throat as I tried my best to calm my adrenaline and the shock that I'm trapped in her body, and most likely, that she's in my body as well. But why was she in the-
"Oh no." I mumbled, "That must have mean that she and Hadrian had escaped from that world that Jesse had sent them. And possibly, possibly they tried to do something back at the games. They failed, and Mevia was the first to get out back into the hallway. While Hadrian got left behind and got caught."
I quickly had to find my way to Otto and warn him about the two, and hopefully that he'll know that I'm me.
Mevia's POV
I woke up after that weird blackout that I had after coming in contact with the strange pink fog. Then I noticed that I'm in a underground sort of place, like a lab. I grumbled slightly as I gotten to my feet, then I started to notice that my body didn't felt like my normal one.
I looked at myself as noticed a... obvious difference. As well as that my skin was different and so were my clothes. They looked like Harper's.
"Mmmm" I muttered as I noticed what had happened to me. "I seemed to be in Harper's body."
I chuckled to myself in mischief manner, and Harper's chuckles in that tone was giving me chills. But, I did had a plan. "So, if I'm in her body. Then it will be easy for me to get on Otto's good side and get back the control over the games and for Hadrian to get him out of his possible jail time."
I smiled to myself as the plan seem to be very good in my mind and I started to head out of this place and head back to the Games.
Hadrian's POV
I opened my eyes slowly as pain went along my whole body. I groaned in agony as I gotten up from my knockout sleep, it was kinda... strange. One moment I was running away from Otto knowing that my plan fail and I need to get the heck out of there before I got caught, next thing I knew I was getting lightheaded after a odd fog came by and passing out on the snowy ground.
I then noticed that I'm in a nice bed in light green sheets. 'What?' my brain thought in confusion.
Why-why am I in this bed? Did someone nice who didn't know me came by and took pity on me or someone dumb mistook me for a poor old man. I couldn't tell.
Then I notice that this room looked a bit familiar, the books on the shelves, a few framed pictures, and bells. 'This is Otto's room!?'
"Otto, sir." a voice called out, I turned my body to face the voice and it was the gladiator, Slab. "How are you feeling? Any better?"
"Umm." I stuttered out, trying to think of something to say. "Yes, I'm feeling much better now. Thank you Slab."
Slab smiled pleasingly, "Well, that's great to hear. After seeing Hadrian a mile away from you when we found you unconscious. We thought that he had done something horrible to you."
"Yeah I-" I stopped my sentence as my brain process on what he had said. Hadrian? But AM Hadrian! Unless... I'M now Otto!
I put my new information to good use and I smiled to myself and then looking back at Slab and act concern. "Oh, right. Hadrian... he- I think he tried to poison me. Thankfully, he was stupid enough to not put a lot of it in the milk. But, it's a good idea to put him in salary until farther notice."
"Yes, great idea." Slab agreed and fell for my lie, before exiting out of the room and closing the door.
I sighed in relief after that was over. Now, time to see if it really is correct that I'm him. I got up from the bed and head to the full-body mirror. I saw Otto starring at me, his jade-green eyes, dark skin, white curly beard, and light green suit.
I really am in O-Otto's body.
It was almost a dream come true. A smile started appearing on my face as well as a streak of blush and my heart beat like a drum, looking at his gloved hands and...
No no no, don't get distracted. Now that I am him, I can get the Games back to normal. Mhmm haa haa hhaaa mhmm haaa hhaaa!!
Otto's POV
I woke up after that weird blackout that happened. I then noticed that I'm on the ground but it wasn't the same one where I passed out. It was quartz floor instead of the snow covered ground from outside.
I groaned as a wave of pain in my head struck me. Getting up slowly, I soon noticed the area I'm in now, the newly built jail.
Confused about this situation, I try to figure out what is going on. 'Why am I in here?' I thought as I walked in circles.
"Why-"
I cut off my words after hearing my voice, it sounded like Hadrian himself. Concern flowed through my emotions as I looked at myself. I wasn't wearing my usual green suit or my black scarf; Instead a purple suit was on my body and no scarf to be found, instead it was a yellow tie.
"Oh boy," I mutter to myself, fearing for the worst, "I'm Hadrian."
"Oh, looks like you're finally up." A familiar voice snarled from behind me. I turned around and saw Facemeat glaring at me from the other sides of the bars. "This isn't going to change anything, Hadrian. Facemeat's gotten word from Otto that you tried to kill him!"
I flinched at Facemeat's words as the tone sounded like it was filled with acid. I hadn't heard such a tone being spoken out to me... well, besides one other person, but that was a long time ago.
"Now please, let me explain some things." I said in my usual calm manner, hoping that he'll at least understand what was happening, "I'm not actually Hadrian. It's me, Otto. We've somehow swapped bodies, and I'm sure that this was his plan to retake the Games!"
Facemeat stared at me looking unamused before chuckling, "Ha! You really think that will fool Facemeat? You devilish lier!"
'For the record, I wouldn't believe me either.' I thought before trying again, "But I am Otto! Hadrian and I had swapped minds!"
"Nope, not falling for it." He shook his head, stubbornly. I sighed deeply in defeat before he spoken, "You can try as you might, but you're still the evil cold hearted person everyone knows. You aren't going anywhere." He then walked away from the prison before locking the building door.
I let out another sigh in defeat before coming up with a plan to get out of here, to warn Harper and get Hadrian to switch us back to our normal lives. I looked around the cell, then I noticed a loose block section in the top of the wall. Smirking to myself, I pushed the block to get out and it was a nice width for Hadrian's body to squeeze out of here.
I jumped to the hole and pulled myself up so I can wiggle my body out to the outside. I manage to get my upper body out but my lower body, mostly my hips, were still struggling to get out. After a few self pushes and wiggling, my body finally popped out tumbling out into the snow. I've quickly gotten up from the fall and ran towards the tower, hoping that Hadrian hasn't done anything crazy in my body yet.
(Well... that took forever. It was sooo HARD to get their mindset and how they will react to the swap. Also, do you people want a short chapter on the season 2 characters swap? This story is setin-between Episode 8 and season two, but I want to have fun with the season two characters reactions to the swap. Anyway, see what happens in the next chapter, bye.)
