Part one

"I mean he hardly spoke in the last recording of whale lords- thank you." Simon said as he and Mark got their drinks from the till. "And almost everyone even asked if he was ok. He doesn't usually let anything effect a recording." They walked to the door and out into the street. "We're just all worried about him."
"Well I can see where you're coming from, he hasn't asked me to do a lot recently. I mean he hardly ever leaves his room when everyone else is around." Mark answered, sipping his drink.
"He won't even let me talk to him anymore unless its through a recording, and he knows I can't ask him what's wrong in front of the audience." Simon said.
They continued their conversation, making their way towards Yogtowers. Not noticing the black figure that loomed in the alleyway next to the coffee shop, watching them.
------------
His door was locked again. Paul noticed as he walked past his bosses door. He shook his head slightly and went into his room, he didn't feel like getting shouted at again.

Xephos - send it me then.

Dark - don't get bossy. Or I might just have to attack some of your friends.

Xephos - don't. I'm doing what you tell me here. Just send me the file.

Dark - its already downloading.

Lewis blinked at the words, and then alt tab-bed out of his minecraft screen. On his desktop was a folder, where different files were being downloaded into. He went back to minecraft.

Xephos - I won't ask how you're doing that...

Dark - no. You shouldn't. You let me worry about that sort of stuff. Don't worry, there's no viruses.

Xephos - what a relief.

Dark - are we getting sarcastic again?

-honeydew joined the game-

Xephos - no.

Honeydew - lewis? Who you talking to?

Xephos - no one.

-Sjin joined the game-

Sjin - hey guys, what's going on?

Honeydew - getting ready to record the next session

{Dark (whispers) - don't forget the files Lewis. I'll speak to you later.}

Xephos - should we get going then.

Honeydew - Duncan and sips aren't here yet man

-Sips_ joined the game-

Sips_ - what's up motherfuckers

Sjin - speak of the devil

Xephos - so were just waiting on Duncan then

Honeydew - pretty much...

There was a moments silence.

Honeydew - so you feeling any better lewis?

Xephos - I'm fine Simon. Can you just stop asking me that.

Honeydew - just checking...

The silence returned. At this point Paul got on his phone and text Duncan to hurry up.

Sjin - I've just text him, maybe we should get onto mumble?

Simon - good idea

They all went onto mumble, and said their hellos. Everyone except Lewis.
"Lewis?" Simon asked, no response. He checked the mumble server.
"Yeah he's not online simon." Sjin said.
He was right, Simon checked the server list and saw that lewis was still not online.

Honeydew - lewis? You coming onto mumble?

Xephos - I will.

Sips_ - when?

Xephos - when I want to sips.

Sjin - don't get so defensive lewis, he was just asking

"What's his problem?" Paul asked over mumble. Everyone began to moan and sigh.
"Just ignore him..." Simon said.

Xephos - don't start this all again. We need to record and if you all piss me off then that's not gonna happen.

Honeydew - woah... Lewis chill. We're only havng a laugh, just come onto mumble.

Simon watched the server list and the little red circle that was next to Lewis' name. It turned green, he was online. He didn't say anything, but he was definitely online.
"Lewis?" Simon asked.
A static noise came through the speakers on his headphones and he suddenly heard a shout.
------------
"Ah!" Lewis said, jumping up from his seat and throwing his headphones onto the desk. They had made a screeching noise in his ears. "Fuck..."
He heard a knock on his door. "Lewis? You ok buddy?" Simons voice came.
"Yeah... I'm fine." Lewis answered.
"What happened?"
"Headphones are faulty. I have some others. Just leave me to it." Lewis said.
Simon sighed and went back to his room.
"What happened?" Paul asked.
"Something to do with his headphones, he's getting some others. Is Duncan here yet?" Simon responded.
"Not yet." Chris answered.

-Angor joined the game-

Honeydew - tom? What are you doing online?

Angor - lewis just came upstairs to get some headphones and was acting pretty weird.

Sjin - how so?

Angor - is he still online?

Sips_ - yeah, he'll c this.

Angor - well, basically he came upstairs and walkd straight past everyone without saying anything

Angor - and then he got annoyd when some of the headphones were tangled together, and then he slammed them down once he'd gotten a pair.

Honeydew - we don't know what's up with him at the moment...

Sips_ - I think we should just put a bunch of random crap in the chat so that he can't see we were talking about him?

Sjin - oh yeah gd idea sips

They typed random stuff into the chat, making it look like a normal conversation, and then Lewis was back on mumble.
"Lewis?" Simon asked.
"Is Duncan here yet?" The raven haired mans voice came back.
"Not yet mate." Simon answered.

{Dark (whispers) - lewis~}

He ignored him because of everyone else.
{Dark (whispers) - Lllllewis~ don't ignore me. You really don't want to ignore me.}

He didn't exactly have a choice at this point.
Then he heard it, a sigh, through his headphones. And it wasn't one of his friends. He figured the others hadn't heard it, as they got on with their conversation.

{Dark (whispers) - xephossss~}

Lewis was getting frustrated. He couldn't answer in front of his friends.

{Dark (whispers) - lewis.}

Xephos - WHAT?!

There was a moment where everything went quiet.
"Lewis? Who you talking to?" Simon asked, worried that he'd seen the conversation from before or something.
"Wrong tab..." Lewis mumbled.
"Alright..." Simon answered, not fully convinced.

{Dark (whispers) - temper temper. Check your files~}

Lewis raised an eyebrow and opened the folder of files he'd been sent. Most of the files were locked for some reason, but one wasn't. He sighed and opened it, looking at the picture once it had loaded. It was in minecraft chat... With Angor? He read through what his friends were talking about. Him.
He sighed and closed the picture. Going back onto minecraft.
"Is Duncan here." He demanded.
"Yeah he's setting up now." Paul answered.
"Tell him to hurry up." Lewis said, moving Xephos around in minecraft.
"A-alright..." Paul said, and Lewis heard him get up and walk past his own door towards Duncan's.
Lewis looked back in the folder to see that all the files were locked. He raised an eyebrow and closed the folder again. He looked at his screen, it was pure black. He was on the minecraft tab, but it was pure black. He leant forward, noticing a tiny white light in the middle of the screen. He noticed it getting closer, and pulled a confused look to no one in particular. He took off his headphones and continued to look at this dot as it got bigger and turned into two dots.
As he finally realised that it was two eyes, he had to jump back. The blackness bounced from his screen, rising up and then sinking back into the screen, turning to an 8-bit style, a small speech bubble popping up saying 'ha ha' and the sound of 8-bit deep laughing came from the headphones on his desk.
He gave himself a moment to breathe before his screen turned back to minecraft and he noticed that Xephos had died. From falling?
"Did... Did someone push me off?" He asked.
"Mate what happened?! We were just stood here letting Duncan get ready and then suddenly your character started freaking out and flailing and punching around and then you sorta... I don't know you kinda turned like blue and black colours like when you edit a picture to be like opposite or something... And then you were like thrown back off the side of the whale!" Simons voice came, along with a few mutters from the others.
"Yeah what happened silk shirt, It was totally freaky!" Chris' voice came through.
"I don't know I was tabbed out. Probably a glitch..." Lewis said, looking back into the folder to see a note that was unlocked.
He opened it.

'Don't worry, I won't get you that easy. Just wanted to strike a little fear through you.

Your next task is simple, unlock the rest of this folder and go through the files.

And Lewis. Don't try and get help, if you do that person will be hurt.

Kind regards~

Dark.'

"Nothing to worry about..." He finished off. "Everything's fine..."
"Right so are we ready to record?" Duncan's voice came through.
"Yep!" Everyone said back. And Lewis still stared at the note, before it disappeared from his screen, and left him staring at his minecraft character. But instead of the blocky pixel face looking at him, it was a realistic face, like Xephos had come to life.
He blinked, and the image turned into his reflection. Like he was Xephos.
And then, after another blink, everything was back to normal. And everyone was getting on with the recording session...
