The Sinking Server

Prologue
Long ago, an animal, specifically a tiger, found a server. Surprisingly, it was in contrast from the others. While they were all full and took forever to get into, this server loaded easily. It was empty. Of course, back then, this was extremely rare. But one thing was different about this supposed 'world'.

What was that, exactly? Why, that was that it was May and everything seemed to be decorated for summer already. This would've been lucky except for the player could feel the burning heat on his animal's fur as he was sucked into the game.

Moving his animal as usual, he noticed he'd become... wait. He himself was no longer a human, or a 'Player', as they now call it. They meaning the same victims. The ones that lost their lives to the wrath of the server.

The server that only let you go to certain places at certain times. That put a disaster each time you'd have to survive. Easily, the worst possible. And it only had room for 3 at a time.

So, who dies and who lives?

Chapter One
Liliana. She was a lonely, background girl. She wasn't noticed at school. Her parents didn't care about her. She was randomly squeezing herself into the same thorny bush in attempt to hide from her abusive dad and helpless mother's expression.

Another girl with freckles and brown, wavy hair passed by. She looked Liliana's age, though Liliana probably looked the age of her baby sister. Frowning, she struggled deeper into the bush, opened her computer, and logged onto her only source of sanity: Animal Jam.

Remember how long ago this was. (But pretend we had all the stuff we do today, lol) Animal Jam was new and fresh, just as she was ready for the same in a start. Excitedly, she joined a new server she spotted at the very bottom. Soon, it was covered up in one square.

She arrived quickly at the place. Looking around, she noticed she spawned in Sarepia Forest. But her World Map button was gray and unclickable. Confused, she shook her head... as she got sucked into the game and she was now just a poor penguin standing in the burning sun.

No, she thought. ''This can't be happening! ''The rest of the squares filled up as a wolf and a leopard joined the group. She observed them, thinking hard, until the wolf lunged at her and attempted to bite her neck. Liliana jerked out of the way, surprised.

Aren't these my allies? She wondered with a twang of saltiness run through her. At once, she held the wolf's hard glares back and turned to the spotted leopard.

"I'm Abby," The purple-furred leopard explained shyly. Liliana waved happily. Somebody new here talked to her. "Are you as confused as I am?" Liliana chuckled slightly. Then she noticed Abby's expectant look and she coughed. "Where are my manners? I'm Liliana, but I'd prefer Lily."

The wolf growled a final time before she spat, "Tiger."

"You look like a wolf to me," Abby said, clearly showing a confused tone.

"That's my name, idiot!" Tiger screamed angrily, waving her claws threateningly in the air, narrowly missing Abby's face. She jumped back, clearly shocked anyone would possibly dare to harm her. Neither of the other animals expected Abby to lurch forward, grab Tiger, and lift her into the air.

No matter the efforts Tiger used and tried not to show, she couldn't struggle out of Abby's strong grasp. She cursed under her breath in angered tones. Why was it not weird that Lily knew exactly what she was cursing about? With a slight shift, she uttered away from the raging wolf.

"What is this place?" Abby switched to admiration as she peered around, ignoring the wolf practically thrusting herself away in order to be released.

Abby set her down and she growled. She pulled back, apparently deciding not to strike at this very moment, but that she definitely would when the time was right. Her expression said it all as hatred filled the room.

"Not sure," Lily replied, studying her surroundings. In a blur, the place switched. This time, they were in
