[Thanks to Dogz. She created this thumbnail and it perfectly fits the vibe of... Being unsuspecting... Anyways, here's the writing.] [btw, messages from me appear in brackets like this.] 1 Niko stood in the middle of a train station, alone, scared, and confused. There were no exits. There were no people There was nothing except a soundless, endless, dark train track. She stood closer to the edge and peered sideways. The tunnel seemed to last forever. Her jacket was crumpled and had a red stain, probably from a glass of juice. Her head hurt as if a struggle had happened inside of the train. Her head spun. She could not remember anything about being on a train. She could remember her older brother Nova. Things like this just could not be comprehended by an eight-year-old. As Niko was. She sat at the edge and cried. Tears of fear poured down her cheeks. It took three hours for the search party to arrive. This girl was the only survivor of a fatal train crash. Her mother and father were very happy to see her, but terrified and worried about Nova. His body wasn’t found in the wreckage. Niko wished she would see Nova again. Ten years passed. 2 Everything Niko had in her room had once belonged to Nova. Her books included popular titles The PZ, and other books usually related to Sprite. Her video games included the game version of the bestselling series Piggy: Onward (The tenth chapter hasn’t been released yet), and the only copy of the old version of Insolent Sins. Her laptop also belonged to Nova. Sadly, this goofy ahh ‘puter didn’t have the memory to run Piggy: Onward so she modded it to be playable on Console. One day while cleaning up the attic, she stumbled across an old USB drive covered in dirt and dust. On the USB it said a sentence: Monova’s drive. “This must be some old video game,” she spoke to herself. She brought it to her bedroom and plugged it into the Mac. Suddenly, the laptop burst into life as it was locked into a fullscreen scratch game. Lazily, she clicked the green flag. Upon seeing the first image Niko felt a shock in her bones. It was a picture of… Nova. But not Nova. He was younger, had white eyes and was wearing a white suit with a white fedora. It was the title screen of a game, like all other Scratch games. Niko clicked start. The screen cut to black and a text box appeared at the bottom. *Hey. *I don’t know anyone who would want to play this game again. “What second time?” Niko said out loud. *You know, you look a lot like Nova,” “What!? Who are you” *Alright listen. I don’t exist. Nova was no help to me. “Like I said, who the heck are you?” *My name is Monova. Nova is my brother. “Nova doesn’t have a brother,” Laughter. *Listen kid. Do you think that your reality is the only one? In my universe, Nova is dead “I don’t buy any of this,” *Trust me, kid. “I am not going to,” *Listen to me for one second. *Go to the Kingston ruins. place this USB drive onto that portal control thingy. Niko was confused. *I have no idea if that exists where you are, but go find it. "But..." *You want Nova back? “Yes…” *Just trust me.
