"We are bringing you news from around the world. The new virus outbreak has caused panic among many. Governments around the world are instructing their citizens—"
I cut the TV off in annoyance and threw the remote on the sofa.
We practically live in an abandoned town; what virus do we have to worry about! I exclaimed.
GROWL
Just then, my stomach growled in protest; that's right, we hadn't had breakfast yet!
I looked at the stairs to my right and yelled, "Mom! I'm hungry! Can you make me something?"
I waited for her reply, but none came. I frowned at this since mom always replied, "Mom! I'm hungry!" I yelled again, this time a little louder.
But then again, no reply. My frown deepened; what has got to her? Perhaps she is wearing headphones?
"Lailah!" I called my big sister as I walked to the stairs. But she didn't reply either.
BADUMP
My heart thumped as I imagined the worst; did a burglar invade the house? What for? We do not have a lot of money!
I shook away the negative thoughts as I slowly started walking up the stairs, making sure I didn't make a lot of noise.
My heart felt heavy when I didn't hear my little twin sisters' usual banter.
I clenched my fists, trying not to think of the worst as I increased my pace.
I soon reached the floor; to my right was the twins' bedroom while opposite to it was my big sister's, beside hers was our mother's bedroom, mine was on the ground floor.
CLICK
I slowly opened the twins' room with my sweaty hand. But my eyes widened when I didn't find anyone in the anime themed room.
Where are they? I thought to myself as I turned around and walked towards my big sister's room.
CLICK
I opened the door, and just like before, it was empty; my sisters weren't there!!
BADUMP BADUMP
My heart was now banging against my chest; something is very wrong!
No! I yelled in my mind, trying to get rid of those horrible thoughts; there's still mom's room left!
I then began to walk towards my mom's room and
CLICK
My breath hitched as I opened the door and looked inside.
"Oy! What the fuck are you doing when I was calling you guys!?" I yelled at my family who were in our mom's bedroom.
They were standing in a circle, looking down, "Hey guys, answer me! What the fuck are you staring at!?" I said as I walked over to them with a big frown on my face.
But as I walked over to them, my eyes caught a glimpse of a white ball of light, hovering just above the ground.
"What the…?" I exclaimed as I stood beside my big sister, my hand already reaching hers.
FLASH
But the moment I touched my sister's hand, the white ball of light flashed brilliantly, blinding my eyes and forcing me to shut my eyes.
….
I opened my eyes again, but I couldn't see anything…
No, it's not that I couldn't see anything; it's just that there's nothing to see. Everything around me was black, except for the distant lights that were shining like stars.
Are we in a void or something? I wondered. Wait! My family!!
Ughh! I tried to look around but no matter how much I tried, I couldn't move my body. It wouldn't even budge an inch.
What the fuck!?
But just then,
"Hohoho, looks like I have succeeded this time!"
A voice echoed in this void; how? I don't know. But the voice sounded like a thousand babies were all talking together, disgusting!
"Oho, looks like we have quite a feisty one here!" the voice exclaimed.
Wait, is it talking about me!?
"Yes, I am, Max!"
What the fuck!? How the fuck do you know my name!? Who the fuck are you!? What the fuck have you done to me and my family!?
"Ahhh, seriously!?" the voice said, "You ask too many questions! Tell you what, ask one more question, and one of the twins dies!"
BADUMP
W-What!!? O-Okay, I will not ask you any questions! P-Please, don't hurt my family!!!
"Bahahaha!!" The voice burst out into laughter before it added, "Ahh, I'm just kidding, man! Chill out! Anyway, let me explain to you what's happening."
I let out a sigh of relief inwardly while the voice continued.
"The thing is, you guys are getting transmigrated…. Yes, little girl, you really are getting transmigrated, awesome, right?" the voice said.
Who's it talking to? ...Wait, is it talking to Sarah?
Sarah is one of the twins who is obsessed with anime.
"Anyways, where was I? Ah, right! You are getting transmigrated! Oh! And don't think I have some divine mission for you or something! Man, those fuckers are hard to deal with!" the voice exclaimed.
"I am doing this for fun! So, you can have fun too! The world I am sending you is a fantasy world; ask the little girl; she will explain more. I have taken care of your bodies and changed them slightly to fit into that world, and also, I have given you guys a little gift! Tell me, am I not generous!?" The voice continued.
"So, have fun. I don't care if you guys laze around or rule that world or destroy it. Like I said, I don't care. Anyway, I am sending you guys over. Bye bye!!"
…And everything went black once again!
