The Old Builders' group was cracking. Soren had left first. Harper after him. They were always fighting, it seemed. Finally, Cassie Rose thought, enough was enough. So when Cassie left, did she just go ahead to the youtuber's dimension and just build the Mansion to plot to get the Portal Key? Or, was it much more? I don't own MCSM or Minecraft, but Telltale and Mojang do.

1. Chapter 1

~ Chapter 1 ~

Cassie Rose walked down the hallway of the Portal Network, her sneakers clopping against the cold stone floor. As she walked down the hallway, the multi-colored portals lit up her face as she went by. Red, Blue, Green, Purple… She was like a human rainbow. But if you looked closely, you could see the colors weren't just reflecting her black square-rimmed glasses, but the tears that were streaming down her face as well.

Cassie was just trudging along the hallway, so miserable, until she just slumped down against a polished andesite pillar. She cried silently, against that pillar for a short while, until she sniffed and got up, then dusted herself off. Get over yourself. There isn't any point in crying, they aren't even good friends, Cassie thought. And she was right, they weren't good friends. But they were her only friends. But they had a reason.

"LAAAAADIES AAAND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO SPLEEF, ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE GAMES! NOW, AS THE GALDIATORS ARE READY, LET'S BEGIN. ON THE COUNT OF THREE, ONE… TWO… THREEEEE!" Hadrian commentated. The players were going at it, and at only a minute three people had already fallen off the platform and into the people-crushing pistons below.

Cassie had sat down in her chair next to Hadrian, and she had gotten every word yelled right into her ear. She was grumpy already, and Mevia wasn't helping. "Cassie, you left more of your weird pumpkin seeds on the couch again, get your crap together, you slob." She said in a rude tone. Cassie snapped back, saying "Oh shut up Mevia, know I went out of my way to clean up after myself yesterday, so just stop." It had just gotten worse from there.

It all resulted in Mevia shoving Cassie, and Cassie shoving her back, which made Mevia fall back into Otto, who was standing at the edge of their commentation platform. He fell off, all the way down into the pistons, where he was crushed, his inventory flying everywhere.

Hadrian had stopped the match, and Mevia stormed off to the palace. Cassie had watched Otto fish his inventory out of the piston's reach. Afterwards, later that day, they had a meeting at the top of the quartz stairs that led to the Portal Network. And by meeting, I mean they kicked Cassie all the way down the stairs, where she landed with a thud, the stair entrance closing off behind her.

So there she was, with only her inventory on her back, walking along the hallway, trying to decide which portal to go through to start her new life. She passed all kinds of portals, her head swimming with multi-colored swirls. But as she tried to decide on a portal, she felt despair creeping into her mood. Here, in the cold stone hallway, she had never felt so alone.
