Helloooooooo everyone! :)

Welcome to The Labyrinth! This is my second story, and I will be doing both this one and Herobrine's Shadow at the same time, though they have no connection to each other. Don't worry, uploads will still be on time.

I don't need any OC's yet, though I may in the future.

I hope you enjoy this FanFiction! Follows, Favorites, and Reviews are much appreciated! I love feedback :)

"It looks like we are getting low on food. I'll have to go out hunting today," I told my brother.

"You go out hunting every day," Alex muttered, almost half to himself.

"No, I go out mining every day. There's a difference. Though sometimes I am collecting more wood so I can finish building that bedroom of yours."

"Chloe, stay home today, please."

"I can't, not if you like to eat."

He sighed and left the stone table, heading to the bedroom we share. Alex doesn't like the fact that I have to leave every day. One would think he'd be used to it by now since we've been living this way for a half a year now, but he still doesn't want me to.

I cleared the two slices of cake he left. The small kitchen is made of the same blocks as the two other rooms in this house-cobblestone for the floor and jungle wood planks from the trees in the forest we live in.

I felt hungry as I searched the chests and the furnaces for food after eating the rest of Alex's cake, though they were all empty. I didn't think we were that low. At least Alex was able to eat.

Finding nothing, I decided to leave right away. I called a "Goodbye" to Alex, though I only got a mumble in reply.

I grabbed my stone sword and leather armor from the chest next to the door. Iron is scarce around here. I've only found on vein of iron in my life that gave me an iron pickaxe I use for mining. I would have made a sword, but I had hoped to find diamonds in the cave nearby and knew I would need and iron pickaxe if I found any.

With my sword gripped in my hand, I looked left and right as I shut the door soundlessly. Seeing nothing, I ran around the back of my house and continued to run without stopping.

That's the problem with living in the jungle-the mobs. Because the dense coat of leaves blocks the sun, the mobs multiply quickly and it is dangerous to be outside. Despite the complication, it was the best place to stay hidden from the city.

Finally, my eyes were filled with bright light as I passed the last tree and burst out into the meadow. Flowers of all colors stretched across the generally flat plains. The tall grass reached around my sandals the color of gold and tickled my ankles. I squinted as my vision adjusted to the surge of light. It was a clear sky today. The soft rustling of the grass was the only thing that kept the air from silence.

In the distance I could see the city, Minelias. I used to live there before my parents were murdered. After that, my brother and I left to live somewhere where we could be away from that place. The only downside is that we cannot buy supplies. We have to get everything ourselves, or rather, I do. I take care of the both of us-I hunt, mine, dig, chop, and craft. Alex keeps asking if he can come with me, but I refuse. It's too dangerous with all the mobs and the lava in the caves and the deep ravines that swallow you up if you slip. Alex is what I live for. He wouldn't survive without me, and I love him too much to put him in that kind of danger.

I spotted a group of pigs a little ways away. As I got closer, choosing careful footsteps as not to cause them to be alarmed, I saw that there were four of them. The creatures remained calm until I attacked. Two of them sprinted away, and the other two had no clue what was going on and just ran in circles.

However, I was faster than all of them with months of practice. I killed them easily. Great! We have...dinner.

I sighed. This will be a long day.

I crashed through the door and collapsed on the cobblestone floor, too weak to call out. However, he must have suspected something was wrong, because he came out of the bedroom. His scream filled my ears when he saw me laying there.

Head spinning...dizziness...pain…

He was by my side in a second. "Chloe! What happened to you?"

I'm sure he was yelling, though his voice sound so far away. "Spider...came behind...poisoned me…"

And then everything went black.
