Massacre

Jesus Christ, I never imagined that the Blind Man's prediction would have led to what happened yesterday. The Wonderland Core scientists attempted to gain entrance to the Empty City again, and by some miracle they managed to open a portal into it. When they brought me to it I almost cried, but our sudden stroke of luck was short lived.

As I approached the portal, the faceless abomination that attacked a few months ago appeared on the other side. It stood there for about a minute before it jumped into the portal and was transported into the facility. As it started tearing people apart with the branches coming out from his back, more monsters entered the facility and attacked everything.

As I attempted to make a run for it a feminine creature made out of wood wrapped strings around me, making it impossible for me to move an inch.

"Sorry sunshine" The creature made of wood said. "But so long as you have that tasty fraction of the Vision's power, you aren't going anywhere."

I was moments away from being killed when a man in a gas mask started shooting her with a sniper rifle. This distracted her long enough for her grip on me to loosen and allowed me to escape.

"You idiot, I had every right to claim him!"

"And I had every right to stop you, you pathetic excuse for a figurehead."

The Fears were now less concerned with killing me and focused all their attention on fighting one another. Before I took the chance to think things over, I ran towards the portal and jumped straight into it. But instead of ending up in the Empty City, I was transported somewhere else.

From the looks of it, this place is some sort of endless forest with absolutely no life in it. I don't have high hopes on escaping this place but if there's a chance of getting to Poet I have to keep moving. 

So little time

As happy as I am that Poet is still alive, I can't really focus on that right now. According to the Blind Man, or whatever his real name is, I only have eight days to find a way to escape this facility before the Fears little game starts. I've been here for five months now and the only place I really know is my room.       

I'm always blindfolded by an agent when I have to eat or when I'm brought to someone that wants to interrogate me, so I have next to no knowledge about this place. I've been begging the Vision to tell me how to control my powers, but even when I offered to become her servant she refused.

"I'm sorry my little Scion, but the Fears aren't not allowed to give champions unfair advantages outside of preventing other Fears from killing them. Besides, you would just use my power to betray me and save your girlfriend."

"For the last time we aren't the star crossed lovers you and the rest of the Fears are making us out to be. We're friends that live with one another as roommates, nothing more."

"Yes, that must be why you have to defend yourself whenever I hint at you two being closer than you want to admit. Face it Romeo, you're obviously in love with her and it's obvious to just about everyone but yourself. Even Poet is aware of your crush by the looks of all that blushing emoticons she used in her last post."

"Why are you even talking to me about this? You're one of the Fears opposing me after all."

"And that's supposed to mean I can't talk to you until the game starts? You should really focus on more important matters my little Scion."

"Stop calling me that already!"

"Must I really remind you that you are in no position to demand anything again?"

Looks like I'm going to have to find a way out of here own...

Talk with an aged god

I'm sorry for not reporting in such a long time...I just didn't feel like it. That agent girl left, like I said before but also fake!Memphis, leaving me all alone in this wasteland of a city for what seems like a year, but I think its more closer to a month or two in reality. Around what I think was July, I met a man wandering this empty city. He was really old and disoriented for the most part. From the looks of his shaded glasses & stick, it appeared like was blind.

"Mister?" I asked, being really relieved to be able to talk to someone again.

"Yes...why hello there Poet" he said and turned into my direction.

"You know my name?"

"Of course...In fact there is not a single thing I don't know"

"Alright, so can you explain this situation then?"

"It's a game, my dear. See, we the gods, fears, abominations...whatever you want to call us, tend to remain in a constant fight. There are no sides, just chaos...so in order to keep calm between us all, we invented this game as a sort of distraction.

"So what is the game?"

"Well young maiden. We pick two lovers that are chosen to be champions. Some oppose one of the champions others help. The game then starts August 27th, 2013. This is simply pre-planning"

I looked at him confused, since I wasn't understanding any of this.

"But...Memphis and I aren't lovers!"

He looked at me and with his crisp, yet deep voice answered me.

"You say that...but yet, me...an all-knowing god say otherwise. So that means that it's likely that you're acclaim is simply untrue or you have not acknowledged it as such yet"

My face blushed instantly. It was lucky that he was blind, otherwise he'd see it  >////<

"My name's Blind Man or Sam if you prefer. Wonderland calls me The Aged Aged Man, but I've never liked their nonsense naming system. But I'm here, at your service young maiden"

"So, you are on my side?"

"Yes, usually I remain as an observer. A neutral party along with the empty city, which we are currently standing in"

"Oh...why take a side now?"

"Times are changing maiden...There's a certain variable that is threatening even me. And I foresee if I don't step in, I will perish"

"But you are a god, what do you have to fear?" I asked.

He faced down and sighed.

"Everything, my dear...everything"

He then slowly walked away from me, after double tapping the ground with his stick. In a few moments a house formed around me, fully furnished with beds, food and everything.

I guess I'll have a place to sleep tonight.
But I don't like the sound of this game.
