This might just be a one off, I have been busy lately so I might not be updating any stories. LIMU, WHN, and stuff on fictionpress.

This story was going to have a video trailer(still might) that shows what happens to Sam. But I did not have the time. Read and review. ^_^

Sam cut and slashed through the dense leaves of the forest with his wooden sword. Thinking it was easier and safer than trying to stay on the top of the forest ceiling, but how wrong he was. He was getting tired in more way than one.

A tiny, almost squeaky female voice came from the small body hanging on Sam's back. "Hey, listen, I said that we should have stayed on the top..."

Sam sighed. "Yeah... I guess so. I'll work my way up from here."

"Where is 'here' anyway..?" The girl asked as she rested her head on Sam's shoulder.

"I don't know. And I don't know what time it is, who you are, what happened to me, or even why I am here!" He shouted in frustration. "An hour ago I woke up in a tree made of cubes in a world made of cubes with a green thing hissing at me, next thing I know I am flying from an explosion, landed in a pond and then after I get out of the pond, we meet. I don't know why you chose to come with me; I don't even know where I am going."

The girl sighed softly. Sam put the sword away and pulled out his axe and started to chop his way up a 2x2 forest tree.

"Look, I'm sorry that I snapped at you, but I need to get home." His voice was heavy with worry. "If home still exists..." He quietly added as an afterthought.

"Did you leave something behind?" The girl asked.

"I left nothing behind, I was … Was brought here I guess you could say."

"No one knows their true fate, they won't till the very instant they die."

"What do you know about fate?" Sam asked as he started to cut through the thick leaves of the canopy.

"I know that I help a stranger to find the right path. But I don't know how it ends."

Sam smiled at this. "Sure." He gave the axe one last swing and light shined into both their eyes. Sam pulled the girl off his back and placed her above him on top of the canopy. She leaned down and offered her hand to pull him up; Sam just shook his hand and pulled himself up. After he did, He heard something, it sounded like a popping noise and then a twang right by his foot. He looked behind him too see a skeleton drawing back another arrow from the shady spot under a branch.

"Come on." He picks her up and started to run away from the now oncoming arrow.
As he ran with the girl in his arms, he saw more skeletons getting ready to fire at him. He pushed himself and ran faster than he thought he could. His only concern was that the girl was safe; he knew why he was not going to stay and fight. The girl reminded him of his sister back home; his sister was autistic and could not really function without Sam by her side. The girl and Sam's sister looked very alike, both around the age of 10 and have long bright blond hair, green eyes, and the same voice. He had mistaken her for his sister at first look.

As he ran, he saw an opening in the forest canopy, he ran for it while dodging multiple incoming arrows. They were surrounded, and Sam was about to panic, when they reached the edge, Sam saw that there was a pond on the forest floor.

"Breath deep and hold it." Sam tells the girl.

He turned his back to the opening and let himself fall over; his back would take the impact and not harm the girl that was now curled into a ball in his arms.

The feeling of falling always left a bad feeling in the pit of Sam's stomach, and today was no exception. The rush of wind tickled his ears, and it lifted the girl's hair. Anyone on the forest floor watching the event would see a flash of gold, followed by about fifteen arrows, and a big splash.

Under the water, arrows slowly drifted past the odd pair. Sam started to swim up to the surface when the girl tugged on his shirt; he looked at the area where she was pointing. He saw a yellow flickering from a torch. There was a glass room under the water without a bottom. Sam pulled himself and the girl down under the bottom of the room and then he swam through the hole and onto the floor.

The girl coughed for a minute and then breathed a sigh of relief. Sam just fell onto his back and for a reason unknown to Sam, he passed out.

~x~

Sam kept his eyes closed and prayed that his nightmare was over. The sound of hushed voices and a fire crackling. There was the smell of mushroom soup, incense and other burning things.

"Sam?" He heard a woman's voice ask.

He cracked his eyes open and saw that he was still in the strange world of cubes and monsters. He was on a bed with only a sheet covering him; he looked around starting from his left. There was a window overlooking a valley, a chair. In front of the bed was a table, fireplace, and a few more chairs. On his left was a woman in dark blue and back striped shirt and a tight pair of jeans.

The woman had Blond hair, green eyes that look like they have not been sleeping in a long time. The woman must have been in her early 20s. In Sam's eyes, she was beautiful.

"Where am I?" He asked.

"Somewhere safe." the woman said. "You took quite the fall."

"Where is the girl?"

"Girl?"

"There was a girl with me... I don't know her name."

The woman smiled. "I'm sure that she is safe, now... WAKE UP!" She slaped him.

Sam felt the hand connect, heard the smack, and then his vision blured and morphed from the warm room of the house by the valley, into the cold glass room under the water. The slap came from the small blond girl sitting on his chest.

"You passed out." She said.

Sam rubbed his cheek. "Thanks, I guess."

She nodded and got off of his chest. He stood up and looked around. There was a torch on the wall that was made of stone.

"So why did you want to come down here?" Sam asked as he ran his hand over the smooth stone.

"I thought it was a better place then out there with the monsters." She looked at the surface through the glass. "Besides, the sun is going down, so it's safe down here."

Sam looked at the surface and nodded as he saw that it was getting dark. "So we just are spending the night down here?"

"Unless you have a better plan." As she said this, Sam leaned against the stone wall and heard a click. The wall slid back and Sam fell down the hidden stairs. "Like finding a passage way." She shouted as she ran down the stairs to make sure that he was still breathing.

"Ow…" Sam quietly because his back took the landing.

"Greetings." Sam looked in the direction of the voice and saw a monk standing in a doorway. The monk had a loaf of bread in his hand and a bucket in the other.

The girl reached the bottom of the stairs and looked at the monk. "Ah, now I know there was a reason for that room."

"That is our secluded room, for anyone seeking a place to think." The monk said as Sam got up off the floor. "Come, I think someone would like to meet you."

"Who?" Sam asked.

The monk just gave him a strange look and replied. "Notch of course."
