[size=10pt]         Steve sighed in exhaustion. He had been down in a mine for a couple days now. He was trying to mine a gold ore block when he heard a familiar sound. He turned around to find a spider and a zombie a block away from him. Steve swung his iron pickaxe and knocked the monsters back one block. Suddenly, his iron pickaxe shattered into small iron pieces and wooden splitters. [i]Oh great[/i], he thought,[i] I must go grab my sword[/i]. Steve ran past the monsters, which were trying to regroup after the attack, and headed towards the ladder ... that wasn’t there.[/size][size=10pt] The monsters turned to face Steve and started to creep up towards him.
         He slowly backed up, one block at a time. In no time at all, he was one block away from a pool of lava. [i]So this is how I end?[/i] Steve asked himself. He sighed, accepting his fate when an arrow whipped by and hit the spider right in the back of its head. The spider flew into the pool of lava and burned to a crisp. The zombie glance followed the spider as it hit the lava. Another arrow zipped by, hitting the zombie and sending him into the lava too. [/size][size=10pt]     
     “Your welcome.” A figure said, holding a bow. The figure had blond hair that when to her chest. Her green shirt had been burned and torn and her brown pants were too much better. “The name’s Alex.” [/size][size=10pt]     
       “Isn’t that a boy’s name?”
