"Jesse help!"
Petra waved her arms wildly as the purple beam of light pulled her farther into the sky. Jesse ran forward and stopped looking wildly from Petra to Gabriel, who was also caught by one the wither storm's beams. She could only save one of them. After a moment of hesitation she jumped up and grabbed Petra's hand, pulling her down. The two girls fell with a thump onto the obsidian ground.
"Gabriel!" Jesse yelled
"Jesse, go!" Gabriel shouted as the beam pulled him out of sight.
Jesse ran forward, but a tentacle came through the door, going straight for Jesse. It hit its mark, sending Jesse flying backward into Lukas and pushing them both into the nether portal. Petra turned and ran toward the entrance, trying to keep the tentacles back and give her friends a head start. She felt someone brush past her. With a glance she saw it was Ivor. There were a lot of things she would like to say to him, but right now there were more important things to do.
However, her glance cost her. She tripped over one of the tentacles and scraped her arm on the hard floor. Franticly she scrambled up, but not soon enough. A tentacle wrapped its self around her arm, right over the cut. Pain jolted up her arm like a lightning bolt, and she tugged as hard as she could to break free. A black wave of unconsciousness was sweeping over her, but she couldn't, not now!
As she fought to stay conscious, the wither storm was lifting her higher and higher. Reaching out with her free arm, she grabbed the roof and held on with all the strength she had left. She was just able to pull herself onto the roof, and then she ran as fast as she could, jumping onto the trees and then to the ground. She ran until the Wither storm was no longer visible, then finally out of strength, she collapsed as the stars shone above her.
