Whit POV
You know, I never thought I would be here. This land of fire and red, creatures I've never seen before. I thought it was all a myth, a fairy tale told by parents to keep children on their toes. I never thought I would actually go to the Nether. I look around in circles, taking in the scenery of netherrack and glowstone, as somewhere, in another dimension, a girl sits at a computer, moving her mouse. I've heard all about the Upperworld of course, everyone has. It's kind of hard to not know that you're being controlled.
Something was wrong, I could feel it. I was about to brush it off as the post-teleportation wooziness in this new dimension, but then I did something I hadn't done alone in a while.
I took a step forward.
You might not think that was such a big achievement, but with my 'player' always controlling me, I hadn't done that in about a week.
I felt my connection to the Player vanish and everything went black.
Whitney POV
I frowned, punching in commands on the keyboard. Nothing seemed to be working. I sat back and let the game crash, sighing. It had never crashed before... Just as Minecraft was about to close, I saw every Minecrafter's nightmare.
Two glowing white eyes, staring straight out of the screen.
whit003 Has Fallen Out of the World
Paxton POV
I snapped the headphones on and nodded over at my sister, Abby. She started up the recording software and we did our signature video introduction.
"What's up, guys? This is PXPGaming here, along with my sister, HeyoItsAbby, and today we're on the Hive playing some Hunger Games!"
Abby introduced herself to the viewers, promising a link to my channel in the video description. This video was kind of special, the 200th one to be uploaded on my channel. I had a list of wacky challenges laid out on the desk beside my mouse, including
-Make a gold block
-Make a golden hoe
-Go to deathmatch with a wooden axe and a leather chestplate only
and the list went on. I was going to make this episode a double feature, a surprise for my 75,000 subscribers.
The game had barely started when I started getting a bit of lag.
"Okay, what the heck?" my sister made a noise of agreement, she didn't talk much.
We made it to spawn, I got a wooden sword and Abby got three apples. We continued the commentary, the lag was still happening. Weird, the Hive almost never lags. We were a good distance from spawn, with pretty decent armor, and stone swords each, when the recording suddenly shut off.
I went to turn it back on, but I couldn't get it to start, for some reason. Looking back at Minecraft, I saw the game about to crash, and tried to disconnect from the server before it did so. I wasn't able to leave in time, and the game crashed. The entire screen went black, and I sighed. I mentally told myself to fix the computer in the morning, and went to get ready for bed.
As soon as I was asleep though, the dream hit me full force.
At least, I thought it was a dream.
I sat up, groaning. It was dark, and I could hear faint sounds of an argument. I struggled to my feet and looked around.
I was in a small room, maybe ten feet by ten, no light at all. I stumbled around a bit, trying to find a way out. The arguing was gradually getting louder, so I figured I was going in the right direction. I could make out voices now, both male, and definitely angry.
Slowly, I started to hear more and more words.
"You're really going to do this again? Notch, you've already done this so many ti-"
"I can do what I want to, Herobrine. I can do anything. Except for one thing. Remove you." Footsteps creaking on wood "Why is it that I can't do just that? I created this place. I created you."
I recognized the names, and freaked out a bit. I hadn't heard much about Herobrine, but I did know that he was bad news, he had crashed Abby's computer once. He was pretty creepy-looking as well, with eyes that literally glow.
A few steps closer, and I started to see a bit of light. It was a small, slightly square candle sitting on top of a steel table. Two shadows were outlined by the faint light, both about the same height, in their early 20s maybe?
One of them seemed to hear my footsteps and turned. I knew exactly who this was at a moment's glance, and it was definitely not who I wanted it to be.
Two glowing rectangles, staring straight at me.
