Death Of A New Era

Starting A New

Alice POV:

Waking up I got up from my bed stretching placing my stuffed toy back on the bed within all the pillows.

Giving him a small pat on the head before leaving the room seeing the bathroom door right across from my room, I want in and did my business, leaving and heading towards the stairway noticing that there really was no photos or anything in the hall or anything.

I noticed that the house was also very quiet and almost like no one lives there - just like my old home I thought sighing as I walked into the kitchen.

What do I see on the counter? A fresh pot of coffee calling my name - I walked over smelling the lovely aroma, but as I reached the pot I had no idea where the mugs where kept.

I started to look through the cabinets looking for anything I could use when I reached the third cupboard I was surprised to see my beloved coffee mug sitting right there waiting for me.

As I reached for it wondering how it got there in the first place I heard footsteps walking into the kitchen.

"I see your already awake - how did you sleep?" I turned to see my father standing there.

"Good - how did this get here?" I asked confused how it got here, last I saw it was still at school along with my bag.

He yawned walking over to the same cabinet grabbing a mug and pouring himself some coffee and knocking it back in one go and pouring another cup.

"Yeah, I just teleported it here along with you bag which is by the door", he said nonchalantly.

"Thank you", I said hugging it slightly as he patted my head before taking another swig of his coffee.

"Relax today - but only inside for now - help yourself to whatever in the house or feel free to take a shower or whatever", he said as I was pouring my own cup of coffee then adding some creamer from the refrigerator and adding it before putting away.

"I may game - I did not play anything yesterday", I said stirring my coffee thinking aloud.

"I will be heading out - I don't know when I'll be back though", He said placing his mug in the sink.

"And if I try to leave?" I asked wondering if I could leave the house to look around.

He laughed as he started to head out, "The house will lock you in".

I stared at the way he just left holding my cup up to my mouth stopping from taking a drink and blinking in confusion.

Alice POV:

It's been over three hours since my father left and now I was just sitting in my new room annoyed - once he left the kitchen I tried the back door - then the front - I even tried the windows and nothing.

He was gone after he even left the kitchen so I never got a chance to ask him. Sighing I ended up taking a long shower and had returned to my new room - it was going to take me sometime to get use to this room - house even.

I sighed pat drying my hair before seeing on the vanity table a hair brush and started brushing my hair before tying it up into a ponytail.

I walked over to my computer turning it on and pulling out the chair sitting down putting my game headphones on.

As it started up I pulled out my phone from my bag which I had grabbed before giving up on the windows.

Turning it on as my computer went to its lock screen I put in my password letting it hock up I turned my attention back to my phone seeing several missed calls and texts from friends and from...wait James?

I opened the first message I saw and read it seeing he heard there was an explosion at my school and wanted to see if I was ok, another was him worriedly wanting to know where I was.

As I read on I saw that it continue along those lines, even with my friends - so I pulled up my social media apps and posted on my timeline, "Hey everyone - so sorry I missed your messages - I'm totally ok and safe, my heart goes to those who may have been hurt at school, I send you all my loves" hearts like crazy after that before posting it.

Then I sent James a message, "Hey James - sorry for not replying, my father just showed up then s**t happened at school - now I'm somewhere else...says I'll be safe".

I sent that messaged him another response, "Thank you for checking on me".

Placing my phone down pulled up my gaming platform and saw a couple of my gaming friends on messaging them to see if they wanted to play.

As I waiting for a reply I pulled up starting my live stream, "Hey Rabbit community!! Hope you have been well, love you and will hopefully hoping into a game while waiting to get a reply.

I pulled up my favorite horror killing game and clicked on survivor - I can play the killer - but like to survive - it's much more fun.

Looking at my live chat seeing some new followers and some old I started thanking them and saying hi, how where they doing - you know the normal gamer stuff - as the game loaded into a match.

Once I got into a lobby and it started up I resived a group message telling me that they where playing in a match and and I could join them after - I messaged them back tell them the same.

Fighting to horrible killer with just as horrible team mates I somehow managed to survive that round entering into my friends group chat.

"HEY BunBun!! " One of my friends yelled in my ear - which I knew to turn her down before she said anything.

"JAYJAY!!"I yalled back spinning my character around in circles.

This was normal for the two of us, we ended up playing for almost five hours I was streaming the whole time chatting with my friends and my chat before I started to feel tired and headed off thanking everyone and stretching.

Getting to my feet stretching some more before noticing that it was dark out but the room lighting was dim but started to brighten the lighting in the room.

"Huh? That's odd", I said in a low whisper to myself before heading towards the bedroom door hearing nothing but silence as I walked down the stairs.

Heading into the kitchen and grabbing a quick snack before heading into the living room noticing as I went the lights would turn on and when I left the room they would turn off.

I looked for the remote to turn on the television it turned on be it's self to the cooking net work, "Wired", I mumbled heading over to the couch sitting down and pulling out my phone which I had grabbed before coming down looking through it.
