The Lost Liza

The Lost Liza

By Ellie Chow

So it was a boring day, and I went on my computer to play Animal Jam. Pandas were endangered, not so surprising as they live with bamboo and trees, people don’t really care because pandas were not the best looking animal in Animal Jam. I was going to level up my wolf because its my second animal, and I’ve only had it for a few days. I only started playing Animal Jam so theres more to explore. I went onto a server, I don’t mind so I just pick a random server, I hate crowded servers. So I clicked on an empty server, and clicked on the Adventure Tutorial in the Adventure Base Camp. It loaded but, there was something not right about the tutorial, Liza was not there at the start. I thought it was just lagging but when I waited a few more minutes she didn’t pop up. I thought it glitched. I was curious of what would happen next and instead of exiting the adventure tutorial I stayed and looked around.

That’s when the wall of vines just automatically opened. So I could go through. But this was not right, even when I only started playing animal jam a week ago, I knew the basic story and what to do. To my horror, inside the fence, there was a panda. It cried for help. I didn’t know what to do, I saw a phantom with it, the phantom came over and started attacking the panda. I thought that if the phantom attacked three times, the animal will respawn back to the spawn point. I was wrong. The panda was still getting attacked, and it was forever tortured. In its eyes it looked like it wanted to kill itself, I didn’t blame it. I wondered why the panda was in there, so I asked how it got in there. The panda said, “I am Lost Liza.” Liza? That was the name of the Panda Alpha! Why was it inside of the fence, surely she could attack the phantom and teleport out of the fence! But she then said, “ I have no more power, please help me..” so then I walked over and through the fence! I was see through, like in the Spooky Party, I started playing Animal Jam in October, so I have seen the Halloween in Animal Jam. I was see through for a second, and I went back to normal. What I wasn’t prepared for was that I was falling for a trap. Suddenly Lost Liza said, “you fell for my trap, what a fool!” her eyes were evil, and looked like laughing at me. I was terrified, not knowing what to do now. Then she said something, “I  am  Lost Liza,” she said again, “I am the real Liza, they made a copy of me!” she continued, “sometimes if your lucky, you will be tutored by me!” said the Lost Liza, “I select five jammers, if they play this adventure tutorial they won’t get the copy of me, the one who is a computer, they will get me! I am far better at being an Alpha,” “and I want revenge!” she had an evil grin on her face, her eyes were blood red. “you can never escape, because now you are a phantom!” she said, “remember that phantom that was attacking me? That was one of the jammers that I selected” she went on, “when that jammer phantom attacks you three times, you will be a phantom.” I started to panic, because i couldn't move, and the jammer phantom charged at me, already starting to take my wolf’s lives away. Then I was dead. Instead of the sign that pops up with you have fallen asleep by a phantom, it said you have died by a phantom. I watched the screen as my wolf switched into a phantom. I tried to click ‘switch animals’ button but it was grey. I was a phantom, trapped in a cage. Just like that other jammer. I was transported to another fenced area, by myself. I saw the other jammer phantoms and I was the fifth jammer selected. I was thinking of talking to the other jammers phantoms of making a plan, but my chat was restricted and there was no chat box or the bubble chat. I had no hope. There was nothing to do but get controlled floating around in the fenced cage.

Then someone came into the adventure, it was a normal Animal Jammer, and I saw Liza saying the things of tutoring, it was not the Lost Liza, it was the copy of Liza. I tried to communicate to her, but she was a computer, not set up as a real person. The jammer came and I felt attracted and a psycho, it was like a moth that was attracted to a light. I charged at the jammer, restricted in the cage. The jammer then lead me to the chomped plant. I knew I was going to be dead. I thought I would be able to get out by killing my self, but I was wrong. When I was killed by the chomped plant my screen went onto the loading screen and I went to another adventure tutorial. It was a single player adventure, so there I was again, I tried and tried to think of ways to get out, but it was no use. I pass this word onto the jammers who play adventures, “think about the phantoms first before you kill them.”
