Should Have Let Me Die

I laid in bed, just realizing that this was my room. I could see my black clothes hung up in an open wardrobe, and my sunglasses sitting on a shelf. There was nothing special, but it wasn't the bed that made the place special, it was what happened in the bed that made it a great place.

Personally, sleeping was for the dead, my brother was a slacker, always staying up late, and sleeping half the day away. Then this all happened, and we both changed; his laziness and my ability to make light of everything were sucked away. The moment he got that email on our way to go see her, damn, this even still hurts now. 

Dave had never forgiven himself, no matter what we all tried to tell him. One hundred and thirty-six girls were murdered that day, and in truth, he was the only one that could have stopped it. That didn't matter, it still wasn't his fault, but no one put more time into creating a home for all of us to live, love, and play.

It was time to get up, all this thinking of Dave was starting to bring me down, but I hoped she was kicking ass now that I had Reggy chasing me. Now that I knew who it was, the little ass-kicking I had given him on my first run would be nothing to the hell and pain I would bring down on him. No one got away with hurting my family, and what he did, and was doing…

I stood up, and I had to force my Gates to stay close, I didn't want to wreck the place before we even left. I would hold onto this feeling, and I would tuck it away for the day that needed it. That fury wouldn't go cold, but I wasn't about to let it start to rule me, plus, it was time to go.

I got dressed, and hit the button, waiting for the door to open, but then I remembered to take the block off the girls. I actually paused thinking I might interrupt something, but then I got a feeling from Eva that it was alright. I removed the block and waited to see who would take first, but both stayed silent.contemporary romance

'Are you okay in there?'

'Yes nosey, why don't you come in and see?' -Trinity.

'Hey, I was just checking up on you!'

'We are fine, I took good care of your little blue girl, she will keep the place from getting boring!' -Trinity.

'Griptons' is pretty lenient, but don't you think you are pushing him a little far with this?'

'Listen here mister. Gripton is not my husband nor do I belong to him, I have fucked him, but all of the girls have. Still, I am my own girl, even if I am just an A.I.' -Trinity.

The door was open, but I was still. Trinity was another A.I.? I thought that Dave only made Three? 

'Wait, who made you?'

'Wait, you don't know, do you? Like seriously? Gripton made us, but we don't belong to him, we just only knew him, well until we met you. Hard to believe I am In your head now, you're a pretty intense player, we all watched your first rounds through the gameworlds, but then some of us had to come here.' -Trinity.

'Hold for a minute, how many of you are there?'

'I don't know exactly, I haven't been to the world yet, it's a surprise that he has been working on it since you entered the game. I won't say anymore, win and you get the surprise.' -Trinity.

I walked out the door, not sure how to take this new information. What was Gripton building an army of A.I. for? I should have got Trem to come with us, but she was needed in Dreams far more than I did. 

Suddenly, I felt the ship lurch forward, but then the motion stopped, but I could still feel the forward moment. I looked over to see Kyla and Krya already playing in the sand. Not only did we have a nice pool, but half of it was a beach, and there was even a massive set of windows that were half cracked open. 

"You looked like you weren't satisfied," Kyra said as I came over to sit with her and Kyla in the sand.

Our little girl was getting big so fast, she was already running and she said mom yesterday. It was like watching my kid grow up if fast-forwarded, and it was a bit surreal. I still got twinges that I was somehow causing this with my magic, but Kyra constantly reminded me that this was normal and once she reached a teenager in a year's time, she would slow down.

Less than one year, until I had to start carrying around a big stick. This was like watching life fast-forwarded, but then another thought bit at me. What was Kyla? Was a new spark created when she gave birth? Or would she disappear after she died?

This was another thing on my to-do list to find out. Fuck, this damn list was starting to get out of control, but I would use the next couple of days to tie up some loose ends. There would be plenty of time for that tomorrow, but today, I just wanted to roll in the sand with my wife and daughter, and any others that came to join.

Today was the first day of a new adventure, but that didn't mean we could enjoy our time. We had miles to go yet on this journey. I looked at my beautiful wife and child and kissed them both. 

"Dad, ooo kiss ots of dirls," Kyla sounded out making weird faces, and then she glared at me.

I put up my hands in defense, but that made Krya burst out in laughter. Great, daughter's first words to me translated into, dad, you are a lecherous beast.
