Author's Note: This is my very first fanfic and I would appreciate it if you would leave a review or send in ideas. I already have the beginning of this story planned but if your idea is good I'll use it later when I'm passed the introduction and all that stuff. Please read and review! Thanks!
Disclaimer: I don't own Minecraft or anything in it. I do own my own original characters though.
The first thing I notice is the rain. Soft, wet raindrops falling onto my face every few seconds. My eyes are close, why are my eyes closed? I can feel myself breathing heavily, like I'm tired. Am I tired? I feel tired.
Plop, plop, plop. The rain falls on my body in a rhythmic beat.
Raina. That's my name. I know it, I can feel warmth spread all over my body when I think the name in my mind. Raina. This name must mean something...but I can't figure it out. Hell, who am I? This isn't good at all.
Frustration spreads through my veins and I open my eyes. A raindrop falls into it and I instantly sit up and rub it out. My hands are sore, calloused, and raw. Great, just great.
I look around and try to figure out where I am. A beach, that's for sure. There's sand coating my clothes in a thin layer and on my face. I wipe it off and blink several times, just to make sure I'm not dreaming.
Idiot, I think. Of course isn't a dream. This is anything but a dream.
I take deep sigh and look upwards towards the gray, stormy sky. It's about to pour, I can tell, and my gut tells me to get somewhere safe. But where the hell is that?
Think. Think. I study my surroundings more and realize that there's a huge forest behind me.
Lucky, I think, then stop. If I were lucky I wouldn't be here.
It takes several tries to stand up. My legs feel like wood, stiff and unmoving, while my arms send courses of pain when I try and bend the main joint. I finally do manage to get upright and take a deep breath.
One step for Raina, one giant leap for my life. I tentatively take a step forward and, when seeing it doesn't hurt that much, I take another. Soon, I'm rolling and the beach disappears as I enter the dark forest.
This is nice. Just me, alone...in a totally not creepy forest. Shut up, Raina. You've got to focus to find somewhere safe.
I glance around, but there's nothing but wood. What am I supposed to do, punch it and hope is somehow magically falls over? I may have no memory but I know that that's not gonna work.
So instead, I make it my mission just to try and get up into a tree, hope it won't break under the pressure, then heal up and get some food.
Nice plan, Raina. Except that it's severely flawed.
So...I'm that kinda person, aren't I? The sociopath who thinks to herself a lot. This is comforting.
I push these thoughts out of my mind and try to put my foot on one of the trees branches. I'm not used to forests I think, or climbing. Definitely not climbing. My hand reaches for another branch and I jump, hoping to be able to grab in time.
I'm wrong, but not on my prediction. Instead, a sharp pain jabs my shoulder and I fall to the ground. I then I stare at it in shock.
An arrow. Point embedded into my skin. The only thing that makes me keep silent is the sound of a bowstring being pulled back. I whip my head around and one word comes to mind: Shite*.
A skeleton, bones creaking with every step towards me. I gulp and put my hand over the wound to keep the blood in.
Maybe if I stay silent he won't see me, I think.
The skeleton pulls the bowstring back and aims.
Bloody hell. I scurry away just as the arrow jams into the wood where my head just was. Ignoring the pain coursing through my still sore body I run as fast as I can into the thick trees.
Phew! The sound of more arrows makes me turn around and find five more boned monsters following me. I gasp and turn again to run. Suddenly my mind starts to reel as I trip over a grotesque looking green foot: Zombie. The word makes my mouth open and I stare into the eyes of the dead. It's arms flail towards me and I duck.
Phew! Another arrow it shot and I duck behind the dead being, The arrow barely goes through and I start to sprint again, not pausing to see what other things are coming after me. My eyesight goes foggy from blood loss and I bite my lip to keep my awake. Too hard. More blood covers my chin and I curse silently. Another sharp jab of pain goes through my leg and I fall. The world spins as my head lands on the hard ground and I feel something grab onto my ankle. I instinctively kick upwards out of it's grasp and use my good arm to push myself up. The sound of moaning fills the air and fear rises inside of me.
You idiot, I think. Do something. Don't just die. Another arrow hits my leg and I cry out in pain. It hasn't even been thirty minutes and your dying.
"Shut it," I say between gritted teeth, and look behind my shoulder. Blood is pouring out my leg onto the ground, making the grass now a crimson color. My stomach churns and I take a deep breath. I can see them, monsters, coming at me.
Do something! My mind screams. I glance around for something to use as a weapon, but it's no use. I am going to die and there's nothing I can do about it. I am going to die. The rain that had died down so abrupt earlier has now decided to reappear. I can feel the rain go down my face and my legs.
Do something. They're closer now. I look to my left and find nothing but shrubs. My right is the same.
Do something. I start to back up, slowly. My vision is getting blurry again and I don't bother to shake it off.
One step, two steps, three steps. Maybe I'm not Raina. Maybe I'm not anybody. Four steps, five steps, six ste-my foot steps onto nothing and I find myself falling backwards, arms desperately trying to reach for something that isn't there. My back arches downwards and the last thing I see is another arrow hitting the side of my head.
Thanks for reading!
