2- Ian Somerhalder

Ian Somerhalder and you were the talk of the town. Every website, every magazine, every interview talked about you. The movie you starred in together—an adaptation of a famous zombie video game—had catapulted you to new heights of fame. Ian, with his natural charisma, quickly bonded with you. He found you... endearing.

After a joint interview, each went their own way. Ian, already in bed, let himself be enveloped by the softness of his blankets and the irresistible pull of his pillow. He closed his eyes, awaiting rest. But what he found was not sleep. No, this was something else.

"What the heck?"

He murmured, disbelief marking each syllable. Around him, the world he knew only from scripts and cameras unfolded with an impossible harshness. The post-apocalyptic set of the film wasn't a set this time. It was real. The air smelled of ashes, the ground crunched under his boots. He looked at his clothes—the same costume as his character. But the weapons he carried weren't replicas. They were authentic.

Somehow, both had been dragged into an alternate reality, one they knew all too well. But this time, there were no cameras, no scene cuts. It wasn't a game or a performance. It was reality itself.
