Chapter 1 – The Ring
This story is a collaboration with Clumsyfire701
DJ_Rainbowvalley and Oinkers_gaming peeked over the bush they were hiding in. Suddenly, DJ_Rainbowvalley farted very loudly. Both avatars' eyes widdened in fear as the revolting beast slowly turned towards them.
"RUN!" Oinkers shouted through fits of giggles, and the players stumbled their way through the forest.
"Bye bye beast!" DJ taunted. Finally, the girls got to a small clearing and heaved a sigh of relief. They could still see the red glowing light around the beast but they knew the beast couldn't see them.
The girls' had been adventuring on the map of homestead for days, trying to find computers to hack so they could escape. There were numerous computers that were very hard to find and if they did, they still had the trouble of hacking them. So far, they had only managed to hack one computer after five days. The girls' set up their tents and beast barrier quickly, after doing it for so many times and got ready to settle in for the night. Slowly both girls' eyelids slipped shut.
Thud Thud Thud.
Thud Thud Thud.
"Oinkers, wake up! There is somebody in camp!" DJ shouted desperately.
Oinkers sat up groggily, rubbing her eyes. "What?! How can someone have got in? There are no other players on the server and we have a beast barrier..."
All of a sudden, a dim red light shone outside the tent. Oinkers could only think of two words before all hell broke loose. Oh no.
"QUICK! RUN AND JUMP OUT OF CAMP!" DJ screamed as the beast came closer and closer
Crunch. Oinkers watched in horror as DJ got smacked by the beast's deadly hammer and lay unconscious on the ground but she didn't have time to watch because the beast was going to come running straight to her after. Oinkers had less than a second to react.
"I have to distract the beast to save DJ," Oinkers thought to herself as she fled the camp but she realised the beast was not chasing her anymore. DJ had bit his finger right before falling to the ground (don't ask me how she knew). Oinkers ran silently back to the campsite in time to see the beast carry DJ away towards an experiment tube. Oinkers followed them, hoping to be able to free DJ after she was going to be put into the experiment tube, however, around half way through the journey, DJ opened her eyes. She blinked a few times then realised what was going on. Silently, she tiptoed towards Oinkers and revealed a strange ring.
"What is that?" Oinkers asked.
"It was ring on the beast's finger. It looks like a tool to encrypt codes," DJ explained.
Suddenly, Oinkers gasped. "DJ, I've realised, how on earth did the beast get into our camp when we had a beast barrier? It's coded so that beasts can't get in!"
"I saw him looking at the ring right before he broke in. I was watching him to see what he was doing."
"Then it may help us figure out what is going on," Oinkers reasoned.
DJ nodded. It seemed like that was the only way they were going to get close to solving what happened.
