My eyes opened and then I looked up and screamed in horror. I stood up and instantly a billion questions popped in my head, but all that I could get out was, “where am I?”

I walked around a bit, but all I could infer was that I was in a deep, dark, oak wood forest. There was not much I could do, the black of the frigid night was creeping in. It was so dark that- I couldn't even see my hand in front of my face. I sat down and began to wonder “what should I do?”. I began to think, “ this must be a dream”, but I knew that sitting around thinking wouldn't help so I did what I do best. I didn't know if it would work, now that I'm In this world...instead of seeing this world on a screen in the comfort of my home. As I began to punch the wood with my hands, I grew tired and sore; after a little while I had amassed some wood logs. As the sun was setting and the sky darkened, I started to make a shelter, well that was until, until I was about halfway done and I heard a faint noise behind me. I quickly turned around, but to my surprise there was nothing there...just the rustling of leaves and the soft gowl of the wind… I briskly returned to my makeshift shelter, placing each log after another, I didn't want to be outside, unsafe, and unprotected, at night, especially with the mobs that just began to spawn. Once I finished my job, I quickly created a crude bed and fell into a less than peaceful sleep.

I was awoken by the sound of the thunder clashing, accompanied by what seemed to be... a scream? I've only gotten what seems like an hour or two of sleep when I was awoken. Shocked, I stood up and was about to go look around for the source of the scream until another blazing flash of light, accompanied by a ear piercing bang landed to the left of my shelter. With the flash of light from the thunder, I saw what I swear I thought was a silhouette with pure white eyes, glowing eyes, looking back at me looking at me. I said," Hello, Is anyone there?" But no one answered me, the only reply I received was an inconveniently placed bolt of lightning, which came down at full force from the sky right in front of me. I was knocked unconscious and when I came to, I ran like hell. I saw that there was minimal damage, but I'd have to replace a few logs that were set on fire.

With the faint glow of the crackling fire, I could see the shadow of an old broken down house in the distance. It looked decrepit, almost as if it had been struck by lightning several times over. I had to venture into it, my curiosity pulled me in as if it had a rope tied around my waist… but that was also the direction in which the scream had come from, I was frightened, but at the same time I wanted to help whomever made that scream. I picked up a stick and set fire to, I decided to use it as a torch,but as soon as I picked it up the fire burned uncontrollably as if it were possessed, I dropped it. I went back down to pick it up, but I felt a chilled breath on my neck along with a hushed whisper in my ear, "Don't Go", it said. Again, I turned around and saw no one behind me. At this point I was so scared that my hands were shaking frantically. Most people would just run away or sit down and cry but I wanted to save that woman, the invisible rope was pulling me in. I picked up the torch and began to walk towards the house. With every step forward the lightning struck unpredictably around me, getting closer and closer to me with every step forward. I started to run with the lightning close behind me, it seemed as if it were chasing me. When I finally reached the house I saw that it was on fire, it emitted an orange tinge, along with a eery feeling. Everything told me to stay away, all of the signs to me “Do not enter!” but there was a girl was trapped inside. How could I just abandon her? I didn't know what to do or how to help so I just followed the tugging, it tugged, tugged, and tugged, with each I could feel the tug growing stronger, something was calling me to the girl. I eventually lost all control, running through the blaze and eventually carrying the girl. Everything began to blur, all I know is when I got out I collapsed and fell to the floor-everything went black...

I woke up, who knows how long later and I slowly sat up. The first thing I noticed was that the sun was out, but it seemed to have a cover of... what looked like black liquid, it, it was engulfing the sun to the point that almost no light emitted from it. I thought to myself, "What is surrounding the sun?." My train of thought broke when the girl came from the forest and sat down next to me. She handed me a...she handed me a, a, an iron pickaxe and looked straight into my eyes and said, "Thank you for saving my life." She then kissed me on the cheek, blushed and looked away. I looked at her and asked, "How long have I been asleep?" "You have slept for 2 days now," she replied. She then asked me, "did you get transported to this world as well?" "Yes”, I replied, “ I was just playing some Minecraft on, and then suddenly I appeared in this world," She told me that something similar had happened to her, but that story is for

another time. I asked her if she had any clue of what was going on, or how this happened and she told me that she had found only a couple of things so far. She had gotten out her notebook and opened up to a page then handed it to me and this is what it said:

-We are in a random Minecraft world.
-The same rules of Minecraft apply.
-We are not alone.(There are many half built houses from other players)
-The sun is surrounded by a black eery liquid
-Herobrine is chasing us...

I was turning pages of the journal to see if their was more but all I read was, I met this cute guy today, before she snatched the book out of my hand. She snapped at me, "Don't read that!” She introduced herself to me, "my name is Emily, what is yours?" "My name is Cody," I replied. I then asked her who Herobrine was and she said that all she knew about Herobrine was this, this old Minecraft folklore that her dad used to tell her about.

She started to tell me the story that her dad told her; A long time ago there were two brothers named Steve and Herobrine. They were the best of friends and did everything together. They shared toys and played games together but they were getting older and began to drift further and further apart until one day, Steve met this girl named Alexa. Steve would always hang out with Alexa, play with Alexa, but not with Herobrine. At first Herobrine was sad but then he began to get angry at Alexa for taking his brother away from him. Herobrine wanted to see Steve, so he would sneak into Steve's room every night and stare at him. He refused to blink because he wanted to look at Steve as much as he could. Soon Herobrine's eyes began to turn white. So one night Herobrine went out into the woods to think, to think about what he was going to do when he was approached by a man. The man said mysteriously “I know everything about you Herobrine” and handed him a potion. He then says, with a malicious grin, “ drink this and all your problems will be solved.” Herobrine reluctantly drank the potion and the man suddenly disappears. Herobrine starts to shake and all of a sudden he feels... different. He takes a step forward and suddenly teleports, He waves his arms up and lightning strikes out of the sky, he puts his hands down and lava spawns were his hands are pointing. But with every time he moves he feels a bit of himself going away. He teleports to his home and looks in the mirror and to his horror, his eyes are completely white. Herobrine begins to laugh. “Ha Ha Ha Ha HA HA HA HA HA HA HA hahahah”. He feels himself slipping and all of his emotions start to fade away, all except for Steve, for Alexa and for Revenge. He lost his mind and he teleports into Alexa's house...


Just as the story comes to a conclusion, lightning struck at the place where Emily was sitting, I quickly dived and pushed her out-of-the-way of the lightning. The lightning materialized down next to me striking the ground with a ground shaking blow. The fearsome lightning caused a booming sound that made my ears ring. At this point I was just lying there panicking, My ears were in pain from the sound of the roaring lightning and for some reason it was extremely hot. I felt like I just wanted to give up, Just lie there and let the lightning deliver its final blow to me. Just as I was about to give up all of my hope I felt like I was moving. I looked back and Emily was dragging me with all of her might. I looked into her emerald green eyes and said,"why are you dragging me"? She said something but I couldn't hear her , all I could was the ringing in my ears. What did you say!", I replied. At this point she figured out that I could barely hear so she pointed behind me. I turned my head to look and there was a huge fire were the lightning had struck. Thump! My body fell along with Emily. She got back up and tried to pull me away from the fire but she couldn't. Thump! Thump! Thump! She kept trying to save me, risking her own life, by trying her hardest to get me out of there. She fell down again and then I looked at her and thought to myself,"If I give up will she? She is trying with all her might to help me and i'm just lying here. I can't give up because I have to help her. I have to make sure she is safe. I stood up and picked her up from the floor and put her on my back. As I ran, I felt a strangely familiar tug, and a whisper in my ear “I told you to stay away”. I tripped, screaming in pain and fear I muttered “Hold on to me i'm going to run, " as I picked her back up.
