(After having pretty much a war with a gang, I would rather not deal with anything else. I feel like shit for what I did. But I did it so others didn't get hurt. I'm glad that nothing bad happened to Michelle but I am wondering what happened to the injuries. What happened to me during that gang war?)

We drove back to my house and I noticed that my family aren't home. Good, I would rather not have them see my shirt all bloodied. We get out of the car.

Michelle: "You can keep the shotgun if you want."

Y/N: "Really?"

Michelle: "Yeah, besides if you have it with you when you go into A.R.E. then you will have it there."

Y/N: "Alright, thanks. Aren't you going to need it for A.R.E.?"

Michelle: "Nope, I'm done with A.R.E."

Y/N: "You don't want the wish?"

Michelle: "My wish was to get revenge. You helped me with that. So thank you."

Y/N: "You're welcome. Just doing what I thought was right. But I do feel like shit for killing people."

Michelle: "If you feel like shit after killing those monsters, then how are you going to win A.R.E.?"

Y/N: "I guess you're right."

Michelle: "You better win."

Y/N: "My goal is to win. I want to get that wish."

Michelle: "What's your wish?"

Y/N: "I want to make everything normal. Not deal with all of this bullshit."

Michelle: "What may seem normal to you, isn't normal for others. Are you sure you want that as your wish?"

Y/N: "I mean, I do want my dad back."

Michelle: "Then win the game. You lose and you will be dead."

Y/N: "I know."

Michelle: "I'm going to head home now."

Y/N: "Alright. Bye Michelle."

Michelle: "See you later."

She walks away and I walk over to my back seat doors and open it. I grab my bloodied shirt and bring it over to the trunk. I open my trunk and wrap the shotgun up with my shirt. I head into the house and get to the staircase.

Skylar: "Oh Y/N, there you are. I was wondering where you were-- Why aren't you wearing your shirt?"

Gonna have to lie to her.

Y/N: "It got hot outside."

Skylar: "Why does your shirt have red stains on it? Is-Is that blood?!"

Y/N: "Be quiet please. A lot just happened and I almost died."

Skylar: "Did you kill somebody?!"

Y/N: "I said be quiet please. No, I didn't. Like I said, I almost died."

Skylar: "But you don't look injured at all."

Y/N: "Remember how my wounds were healed after one day?"

Skylar: "Yeah."

Y/N: "Seems like it happened again. I don't understand it. Just please don't mention anything to the others."

Skylar: "But--"

Y/N: "Please."

Skylar: "Fine, but I know you aren't telling me the truth."

Y/N: "I'll tell you later, okay?"

Skylar: "You better."

Y/N: "I just need to head into my room for a bit."

I go up the stairs and head into my room and lock it. I didn't know Sky was here... I look over at the helmet and grab it. I look at it and put it on.

*In A.R.E.*

I opened my eyes and saw that I was in my house still. It left me where I got logged out. A message pop up in front of me.

It's Down To The Last 100 Players! I Think Things Should Get More Intense. How about A VR War? Form Your Teams Or Go Solo And Let The War Begin!

What the hell is this? A VR War? I don't like the sound of this. I hear the front door open and I grab my pistol. Might as well eliminate the others. I peak around the corner of the living room and see three players.

???: "Are you sure there is XP here?"

???: "I got XP here before."

???: "How about we split up? I'll go into the living room, John will go upstairs, and Colby will go down in the basement."

Colby: "Of course I have to go down there..."

I watch them split up and I hide back into the living room and wait for the guy to come into the room. He comes in but doesn't see me. I hid on the other side of the couch and waited for the perfect opportunity to strike.

???: "It's not here this time. Maybe someone beat us here."

I see him look at the TV and I sneak up behind him and put him into a choke hold with my gun up to his head.

Y/N: "Stay quiet or I will shoot."

???: "Guys! Someone is here!"

I shoot him in the head and let his body fall.

Y/N: "Shit."

I run to the basement door and wait for the guy to come up and open the door. He opens the door and I am right there. I kick him back down the stairs and he falls all the way down. I shoot at his head to make sure he is dead. I turn around and hear the other guy coming down the stairs. I go back into the living room and sit around the corner. He walks around the corner and I go to hit him in the face with my gun but he catches my arm.

John: "You killed my fucking friends!"

Y/N: "This game is about being the last man standing. You fuckers have to die anyways."

I punch him in the face and he let's go of me and I shoot him in the stomach.

John: "AHHH! P-Please don't kill me..."

Y/N: "Log out and don't come back."

John: "B-But I want to win. You can't be serious right now..."

Y/N: "I'm giving you five seconds to log out or I will kill you."

John: "I don't k-know how to log out!"

Y/N: "What? How do you not know?"

John: "I j-just got ranked earlier today!"

Y/N: "You log out at a mirror. Now stay out of this game or you will end up dying."

John: "A-Alright!"

I see him get up and walk away.

Y/N: "Wait."

He stops and turns around.

John: "W-What?"

Y/N: "I don't trust you."

I shoot him in the head and walk away. Can't risk having him come back. I should probably try to find Ant and make sure he is alright.

A/N: Kills a gang and is now in a VR war... Eventful huh? Over 1000 Words!
