(Fate Of The Lost Ones)

(Between the realms of "The World")

Countless bodies floated into nothingness and endless darkness. Bounded by invisible chains, unable to even move a single muscle, not that they could anyways. Each and everyone in that unholy place stare into space, not really focusing on anything. Their eyes showed their drain emotions meaning that floating in the darkness where only shells of the people they use to be. Each and everyone of them broken and laugh at by an unknown entity in the area. The only things coming out of there mouth was words discouragement, each spoken softly to themselves.

" I am worthless"

" I am nothing"

" I am useless"

" Nobody cares"

They all chanted this words and among others to themselves, eyes void of emotions. Only despair and pain remained. All of them use to be care free PC in "The World" doing there everyday business and among others thing people usually do in the game. They were just the unlucky ones who were caught by surprise by the sudden attacks on the city. Many tried to defend themselves from the infected monster while others were simply dispose off. After being pk they human bodies enter in a coma while their mind where send into this dark place, where even the light fear to enter.

Each and everyone were separated temporary from the others by an unknown force, unable to defend each others and themselves. One by one each were broken and turned into former shells of themselves and later place in the darkness to float for eternity.

Everyone was bounded by invisibles chains just in case one had a strong will, but that only delaid the inevitable. No one, that was pk, were save, no one was spared.

" My! Look at all these humans they sends us today." A female voice echo's in the darkness.

Suddenly the unknown force sense a disturbance in the area. " Hm? Whats this? Some ones is waking up from there slumber? Well then...let me greet him personally."

In another area of the unholy place a PC's eyes were beginning to open. It was a young male Steam Gunner. The first thing that greeted him was the darkness that surrounded him. He looked around and saw the other bodies floating lifelessly in the place.

"Huh?!" He said while trying to move but to no avail. " Where am I? Why can't I move? What's going on here?!"

" Well now, what do we have here?" the voice said, obviously amused.

" What the...? Who are you? What the heck happened? What is this place?!" The Steam Gunner said in desperation. By the sound of his voice one could tell he was young and scared.

" Why you are in the Dark Abyss my dear. An unholy place where even the beings of light fear. What happened is that you got killed by infected monster and now your here for your fate. And as for who am I, it doesn't really matters." the voice replied sweetly.

" My fate? What fate?" the boy asked in panic now.

" You are here because of your worthlessness and now you are here to spend the rest of your life in this God forsaken place."

" Worthlessness? Are you kidding me?" the kid asked in disbelieve.

" Honey, is there is one thing I don't do is kid around. And yes you are worthless. In here you are nothing, useless, inadequate, and among others thing, just like the rest." the voice replied while revealing the other floating bodies murmuring insecure words.

"What?! Me?! You have to be joking!" the boy was now getting annoyed.

A chuckle echoed through the darkness " You deluded fool. Haven't you ever heard what your so called friend say about you in your back, the things they say when your not around? Think about it."

" W-What? M-My friends doesn't say anything about me." The boy was now getting insecure at this point.

" Hehehe...When somebody is not around the true nature of the players is revealed. Such is human nature."

"They don't think that way about me !...Do they?" he started to doubt.

The voice made a fake sight " Oh well, if your not going to take my word for it then listen to what your 'friends' in your back."

Voices started to echo around the young PC. Each had a voice that he recognize and classified as one of the people he spent his time in the game.

" He's such a bother."

" Look at the time and items we wasted because of him."

"Aww men! Look at what he made me do."

"He's nothing but trouble."

" Why do we bother with him anyways?"

The young Steam Gunner was listening to the voices around him, not liking one bit what he was hearing. He felt tears behind his eyes but held them back, he refuse to believe what he was hearing.

" NO! You're lying!They would never say those things behind my back!" he protested.

"Tsk,Tsk,Tsk" the voice was clearly amused " Stubborn, aren't we? It's sad to see someone denying the truth about human nature. Everyone is the same child; your friends, close ones, and even your parents say this type of things about you."

" M-My parents?" the PC eyes widen.

" But of course child. They do it all the time while your at school, a friends house, and even outside for a short period of time. Why, just listen to what they say."

Voices began to echo in the darkness onces more, but this time he identified the voices as his parent's.

" They boy is useless I tell you. He doesn't do sport or any kind of activity except playing video games in his room for an extended period of hours."

" I know what you mean dear. All we ask is that he bring us good grades from school since he doesn't do any activity out. But no! He doesn't even do that. After all the things we have done for him, and this is how he pay us? What an ungrateful child."

" Don't worry honey when he comes of age we'll kick him out of the house so we can be rid of this burden..."

The voices faded away leaving their word to sink into the young PC mind. This time the tears were falling freely from his eyes, it was to much to take. One thing was his friends talking about him that way, but his parents? He simply couldn't take it.

" I'm a burden to them? To everyone? Am I really that worthless, useless...unloved?" He said before sobbing.

" Oh child, I know it's hard to accept the facts but you are useless. Stop resisting what you are and rest in ever lasting darkness." The voice replied faking the gentle words.

The boys eyes began to dim and loose its spark of life. " Yeah...rest in eternal darkness. A useless being like me...doesn't deserve to be acknowledge by others. I'm...worthless...useless...I am...nothing"

Soon enough the young Steam Gunner began chanting words of discouragement like the rest of the PC that were trap in the dark abyss.

The voice began to laugh " That's right human you are useless. Every human in this place are nothing but worms trying to make themselves notice, so don't feel that bad."

Once more the voice began to laugh even louder at her victims. Her laughter echo through the darkness until the entity vanish from the area leaving all the PC floating in endless darkness. Two being began to float toward the entity's recent victim and carefully watch him. Once they made sure he was broken like the rest, they slowly descended to the floor below.

The first figure sighted " Well another one falls victim to her webs of lies. It's sad really."

The other look at him without interest " Don't tell me your going soft on me."

"NO! Its just...I don't know. I just don't like it." the first responded.

The second sighted " Why do you even care for them. He was going to become like the rest of them anyways. So might as well take him out before he changed."

" I know but...maybe he was different." the first replied.

The second snorted to the first replied " Highly unlikely. They're all the same. The wear masks of deceit to lure one to a false sense of security before they stab you in the back. Such is their nature. But then again I have met one thats not like the rest, but that was along time ago."

The first looked at him " You mean when you were..."

" Yeah. But maybe he had change through the years." the second one cut him off.

" Well I guess your right. Still I remember some people were nice to me back in my days." he tried to reason with the second.

" But none of them log-in anymore." the second replied " Besides even if they did they wouldn't recognize you anymore and you know why."

" Do you have to have an answer for everything I say?" the first said amused.

The second simply shrugged " Of course. After all I'm the one who kept us alive from this 'things' around us. Now look at them floating in the endless darkness broken out of their minds, such is the fate of the lost ones to be forever left in darkness to be forgotten. How pathetic and yet a fitting ending for people like them." he said referring to the floating PC above them.

" You know at the beginning you didn't think of them in such a negative way. In fact you used to even associate with complete strangers." the first said.

" That was before! And you know why!" the second one snarled.

" Okay, Okay! Take it easy. I wasn't trying to push your buttons you know." the first put his arms in front to make his point.

The second took a deep breath and calmed himself " -sigh- I know, but you know how I get when we reach this sort of topic. Now lets drop it and get out. I'm getting bored here."

The second who was wearing a black cloak was engulf by black flame before he vanish from the area leaving the other alone with the floating PC's.

The one left alone, who was wearing a long black coat, sighted to himself " I don't know but I still don't agree with this. But he still needs me, so all go all the way to the very end. Maybe then things will get better for us. I hope." as he finish saying this he was engulf in a swirling blizzard before he two disappear from the area.

Well the change chapter is finish! I hope for those who read this enjoy it. Till the next time. And remember NO FLAMES!
