Underrated

This is NOT a true story (sadly). All characters are fictional and none of this really happened.

Good afternoon. Or, well, morning, or evening, depending on where you are in the world…
My name is Elenore. Let me tell you a story about a still thriving entity in the world-known game Minecraft. It’s scary, so brace yourself!
It was 2014. Minecraft was young. There were no Wardens or Copper. There were Creepers, pigs, cows, and regular animals and mobs. Nobody was really in a panic for that game. Except for some older tales like Herobrine and Entity 303. I thought they were made up for fun. I didn’t ever worry about them when my friends started yakking about them. They were going viral around the internet. I still didn’t care. I knew they were fake. That all changed when I was playing on a server me and my friends Hund and April made. Hund’s username was ASwedishMob, and April’s was SpringCreeper. Mine was Underrated. No, seriously! It was! We were building castles and cool homes to stay in. Of course, we were in creative. We were all on a Skype call. “Hey Elenore, I have an idea.” Hund said in her Swedish voice. Her mother and father came from Sweden. Her name meant Dog. She got named that because when she was born, she loved to cuddle and sleep with their dog. I yawned as I said, “What’s that?” She replied, “I say when were done, we turn on Survival mode and use the items we put in the chests to fend off the mobs we come tvärs över.” Then I heard her chuckle. “Oops, bad habit. I meant across.” I heard April chime in. “Sounds like a great idea!” I nodded in agreement. “It’s settled! Let’s finish then do it!” I heard Hund sipping her Swedish drink. Then a door creaking open from Hund’s camera. “Hello, Hund. Are you having fun with your friends?” I saw Hund smile. “Daaaad… you’re not supposed to be in here.” Hund looked playful. She didn’t mean it. Her father smiled then rolled his eyes. “Oh, I get it. You want to be in here ensam so you can play with your friends without me hearing what your saying?” Hund got up from her gaming chair and gave her dad a playful shove. I heard her speaking Swedish. I couldn't really hear what she was saying. I didn’t know what she said. It was probably something like ‘come on, you know I like being alone’. Her dad smiled and hugged her. He shut the door quietly and left. Hund sat back down in her chair. “I knew he would come in soon.” April smirked. “Family problems, huh?” Hund rolled her eyes. “Of course not, vän … only some joking around.” Hund told us that “vän” meant “friend”. I looked it up, and it did.
Five seconds later, Minecraft shut down. “What? My Minecraft shut off!” April said. Hund nodded. “So did mine!” I nodded with a worry face. “Same.” I heard the music of the game start up again as the game reopened. I could tell it happened to the others because their faces lit up. But as soon as it reopened, it reopened our world too. Strange. But this time, instead of where I was, I was on an end island. No towers, no Enderman, no Ender Dragon. Just an island made out of end stone, inside the end. “I assume what’s happening to you guys is happening to me too, right?” April typed into the Skype chat. “If you mean an end island, then yes.” I typed. Hund typed back. “Good, I’m not alone on this.” I heard breathing through my headphones, but we were all muted. I checked, and it was coming from Minecraft. Human. Breathing. Ohhh, god. Panic struck. Our faces were painted with horrified expressions. We all heard it from our own laptops. April was even more horrified than me and Hund put together. April unmuted. “I’m scared. Closing out the game now.” She said. Then I saw her get even more scared. She stuttered when she spoke. “When I press the button to close the game, something pops up saying “This window can not be closed.”. Is it doing that for you?” I nodded. So did Hund. April muted herself. 
A single second later, I heard talking. A man, so it wasn’t from any of us. Plus, we were all muted. “Are you sure you want to continue?” A horrifying voice said. All three of us automatically unmuted somehow as we all said “NO!!!” It was quite loud. This seemed to anger the voice. A dark entity showed his face in the game. Our cameras turned off. I wanted to close my eyes, but I couldn’t. It seemed impossible! I squinted at the entity. It was a dark purple with black and red. I couldn’t quite make out the skin. It was too dark to see anything. Then my power went out. The only thing on was my PC. I turned on my phone to check the time but the numbers were changed to the symbols on the side of an End Crystal in Minecraft. I’d need to know how to read the symbols. But nobody does. The letters are fake, so not even the creator would know! “Just… great.” I said. My mom and dad weren’t home. I looked out my window. Everyone else’s power was off. Then the Skype call ended by itself. On the tab it said, “ERROR; COULD NOT PROCESS. REASON: Your going to regret that.” I was honestly horrified as I watched everything crash while Minecraft stood alone, with horrible screaming coming from the game. I tossed the headphones off my head and heard it got louder. I kept hitting the exit button on the window holding Minecraft. But I kept getting an error message. “ERRORRR; COULD NOT CLOSE WINDOW.” I even heard the entity saying that, making the “R” in “Error” extra-long. I tried to open my door. It was locked from the outside somehow. My window as well. My computer promptly shut down, restarting as it noticed the bug. I calmed down because everything stopped. My heart was beating. I sat down on my bed, staring at the screen of my PC. Everything should be fine, right?
One minute later, my computer was on my lock screen. It was all normal. I breathed a sigh of relief. The power was still out. I pulled out my phone. The characters were now numbers, my phone being completely fine. I put in my password, clicked on the phone button, and called my mom. No one answered. I called my dad. No answer. Neighbors, still no answer. All of my contacts wouldn’t pick up the phone for some reason. But I realized I didn’t try my friends. I made a group call and put Hund and April in it. They each picked up. Their faces were filled with horror. “Everyone okay?” I asked. “Yes. I suppose.” April said shakily. “Jag antar...” Hund said. Good thing me and April learned Swedish. That meant “I guess”. I spoke quietly and held the phone up to my ear. “Come to my house.” April nodded. “Okay. My mother isn’t home. Nobody picks up the phone.” Hund chimed in. “Same here. Father is gone and Mother has been gone all day!” We all agreed to come to my home. We each sat on my bed, glued to the computer screen. I heard wind whoosh and thunder rumble. My laptop turned off. Thunder got louder. The three of us huddled up and stood in the middle of the room. I heard footsteps. We turned around slowly. Screams erupted from us as the black figure cackled and reached out his arms. Hund took my glass breaker off my desk and slammed it into the window. The sky was dark as the rain fell down. We jumped out the window and landed hard on the ground. We sprinted for our lives. The figure seemed to spawn in front of us. We skidded to a stop, only for the entity to break the ground below us and have us falling to our death! We screamed and screamed, hoping to grab attention. Then I blacked out.
I woke up to find myself in a shallow pool of water. Torches dotted the sides of the cave walls. Iron was tucked in the stone. Some glass was floating in the water. I swam with the last of my strength to grab it. I didn’t really know where I was or what I was doing. I hastily picked it up and squinted at my reflection. I had scratches and blood on my face, topped with a bit of gravel. I must have hit the stone walls on the way down. Everything looked… blockier than usual. Only my surroundings. I’m freaked out. I climb out of the water and hastily walk down the lit tunnel. I’m not even wet or hurt from the water. My legs shake a bit. The farther I get down the tunnel, the more I hear voices. They sound like April and Hund! I regain my strength slowly, but when I do, I run down the tunnel. I hear water dripping and black tinted glass lining the walls. I finally reach the end of the tunnel. There is a corner there, so I duck behind it. I don’t want to be seen. Hund and April are lying on beds, asleep. I can tell it was not intentional. I whisper, “Hey, Hund! April!” But they don’t wake up. I get closer. “Guys!” No response. They’re not even breathing. I notice the beds are old medical beds. My eyes widen. What could this mean? I feel heavy breathing on my back. I freeze in place, scared to death, feeling like my soul is going to leave my body. My voice cracks in horror. “What in the…” Cold hands grabs my shoulders and throw me to the ground. I struggle to get up. A black shadow appears above and I suddenly feel very tired.
It wasn’t long after I wake. Maybe about ten minutes. Last time I blacked out, it was close to an hour. My eyes open. My head is fixed to the ceiling. It’s all stone. I can’t move. I can tell that no ones in the room with me. Where is Hund and April? I hear more breathing. Great. Here we go again! “I didn’t think I would finally see the day.” A voice said. This voice sounded similar to the one in Minecraft. “W..what do you mean?” I struggle to speak. Cackling erupts from the voice. I close my eyes. Is this a bad dream? No, it’s not. I’m in too much pain for some reason. The voice fills my head. The cackling stops. I can only see a dark figure circling the bed. Who is this person? I can’t see his face. I don’t know where I am or why I cannot move any part of my body. Everything still looks blocky, like Minecraft. The figure is too. I want to be dreaming right now, but I know I'm not. 
"Insanity is key." The figure says. Footsteps intensify. "If you want to destroy someone, make them insane. Make them think what you want to think." I heard him crack a smile. "For example, you think this is a dream, right? Or you want to?" I gasp. I hear him chuckle. "Just what I thought." I see the figure walk in front of me. His face gets closer to mine. I finally see his face. It's bruised and scratched and his eyes are tinted red. Disgusting, I thought. I saw him sort of glitch. I was honestly confused. "You probably going to ask, "Where are my friends?". And here is your answer." I hear him flip a switch. I suddenly hear coughing and hacking. And voices! It was Hund and April! "What are you doing to them?!" I scream. "And who the hell are you?" I hear a low chuckle. "I, am an, well, underrated sort of person..." My eyes widen. He's referencing my username? "Give me a real answer." I growl. "Fine. I will." He says cockily. "My name is Asylum. I am a virus made from Minecraft. I found my way into the real world, and kidnap others who give me answers that I do not accept. They get put here, in my Insane Asylum for Minecraft Users, or my 'I.A.M.U', and they learn they're lesson. Simple." I suddenly understand it all. "You must have the missing people that I heard of, huh? They all play Minecraft. You took them." He laughed. "Obviously!" I rolled my eyes. "Elenore," he started, "Do you want to know the 'answers' I don't accept?" I was afraid to answer. I nodded anyway. 
He turned on a monitor and put it closer to me so I could see. It was camera footage. I heard speaking. "Hey guys? My Minecraft turned off." I saw the lights dim. "And my power went out!" The footage cut to later. I heard screams. "NO!!" I heard them all say at once. The footage cut again. Three people, one girl and two boys were all huddled up in the middle of a dim room. You could hear footsteps. The figure appeared as they all screamed. The figure grabbed them all and glitched out of the room. It ended. That's what happened to us, I thought. "Oh, revenge," I heard him say. "Sweet, sweet revenge!" He yelled. The monitor went back to it's regular place. "Listen," I said. "Let my friends go." He stepped closer. "And why would I do that?" I sighed. "Because I'll let you have me." He suddenly smirked. "Well, a talented user that can build me anything I want, verses a couple of noobs?" He nodded. "Sounds like a plan to me." The monitor came closer to me. It showed live camera footage of Hund and April. I saw some sort of fog clear from the camera. The beds released Hund and April. They slowly woke. "April... you okay?" I heard Hund whisper. "Yeah, yeah. I'm okay." Hund walked towards the exit. "Where's Elenore?" April got up and put a hand on Hund's shoulder. "I don't know. But I..." She was interrupted by the door creaking open, going to the cave exit. "What if Elenore's in here?" Hund shook her head. "She wouldn't be. She's probably waiting for us. I think we were the only ones who got put here by Asylum." 
Tears erupted from my eyes. I sniffled. "It was the deal." Asylum said with a laugh. "Don't take it to hard." 
To be continued!
