???? POV

"Mommy, mommy," Jenn says as she wakes me up.

"What is it?" I ask her

"You were crying again," She says before I feel that my face is wet.

"What did you dream about?" She asks as she climbs on to my bed

"Are you sure you want to know?" I asked her

"Yes, It needs to be fixed somehow....mommy can't be crying every night, it's bad," She says as she rests her head on my lap

"Well, it was pretty bad. I dreamt that you were killed and me and (U/N) were separated," I gave her the summary

"Mommy, I'll love you no matter what, and (U/N) will find you and me as soon as this game ends," Jenn says innocently.

"Yea, I'm sure he will protect us to the end and then track us down. That's just who (U/N) is," I say brushing her hair

"Yeah," she says before I suddenly thrust awake.

A dream, if only it was real. I'd give my life to be back in SAO with (U/N) and Jenn.

Tears started to fell on my lap.

But I'll never see Jenn again and (U/N), well he hasn't found me yet. I just need something to take this pain away, I think as I look around my room.

My eyes rested on an object that I knew from the past would take the pain away.

My eyes found a knife

(Y/N) POV

I have been sneaking around the school for a few days now. Anything to avoid that guy, of course, I still meet up with the others.

I'm certainly more cautious then I was before. I'm not sure that I could win another fight against him, he knows what to expect now.

I was meeting up with the others. They know the situation, so we have been trying to limit our meetings to only online. The meeting spot was outside under some trees

"(Y/N) over here!" Himiko says quietly

"Here," I say once I arrived

"So what's up?" I ask

"Ok, we all decided that we are gonna play Alfheim Online. The only person here who hasn't said anything is you," James says

"Oh right..about that, I guess my sister plays that game," I tell them

"You have a sister!" They all say surprised

"I haven't told you?" I ask them

"No!" Carter says

"Oh"

"Anyway, are you gonna join or not?" May asks

"I will soon, but just not right now," I say looking down

"It's all good, we all understand what your going through," Carter tells me

"Thanks, but I'll give it a try soon," I tell them

"Right on," Logan says before we part ways

I was walking the halls when I saw an emo kid. He wore black, just like James, but way more shadier. I know who this guy is

"Shade Lord!" I call out teasing him

"Huh?" He says confused. He looked at me with a strange face when suddenly it clicked

"(U/N)!?" The kid says

"It's (Y/N)," I tell him

"Oh, I'm....Kazuto, I'm Kirito but you already knew that," he says scratching his head

"Hard to miss you in these bright halls," I say

"Ha," he says

"So what's up, you and Asuna have surely met up already?" I ask him

"No, she is still in the game," Kazuto says grimly

"Wait What?" I ask

"Yea, 100 players are still sleeping, we don't know the cause, they just haven't awoken yet," Kirito says

"I didn't know about that, then maybe....." I trail off..what if Liz is one of then?

"Seeing how you are now, I'm guessing you don't know where Liz is," Kirito asks

"No, we never shared names, so I don't have a clue where to look," I tell him

"Yea, that is hard, me and Asuna shared names that's the only way I found out that she was still sleeping," Kirito says

"We were about to, but....the game ended to fast," I tell him

"Me and Asuna actually watched the game crumble apart," Kirito says...lucky

"What I would give just to see her for a minute," I say leaning on a wall

"Yeah, at least I know where Asuna is," Kirito says with fire in his eyes

"Do you now?" I ask

"Yea, Agil showed me a picture of a fairy that looked like Asuna trapped in a cage in Alfheim Online,"

"Wow, this game just showed up from nowhere, first my sister plays it, then MindSword members what to play it and now Asuna, wow," I say

"Yea, I know--" Kirito starts to say before I see a certain thug walking around a corner

"I better go," I say as I run away.

The rest of the classes ended and I headed home. I guess I couldn't help it, I went to the nearest game shop and bought the new full dive VR called AmuSphere and a copy of Alfheim Online.

I don't know when I'll play it, maybe I'll help Kirito with his quest.

......Little did I know what would happened tomorrow....
