Sophie woke up in the middle of the forest, with no idea of how she got there. She had a British accent and wore a black hoodie, skinny jeans, biker gloves, and a beanie; she also had very pale skin, bright turquoise eyes, and long brown hair with the ends dyed blue. She was short and pretty skinny as well. She tried to stand up, but her muscles were so weak, and her head seriously hurt. She took in her surroundings, and at the corner of her eye, she saw a tree with a ladder on it, leading up to a trapdoor. She recognized the ladder, and almost immediately realized it was the ladder for Jesse's treehouse.
Am I in the game? She thought, but that's impossible. She tried to stand up again, only to jump out of her skin and fall back down.
"Well, I see you've already woken up." A mysterious voice said.
"Holy crap, what was that?!" Exclaimed Sophie; she was always too easy to scare, well, after all, she is only a kid.
"No need to worry Sophie, I am Notch, god of Minecraft."
"No, that's impossible, my friends are just pranking me right?"
"No, this is real. I sent you into this game for an important reason."
"Wait, so you're saying that I'm inside of my favorite game?"
"Yes, now please listen to—"
"Wait, I have more questions: so are you like talking to me through my head or are you like somewhere here?"
"I'm in your head, now lis—"
"Wait are you like the god of this world or just normal Minecraft?"
"Both worlds are connected so I'm the god of both, now shut up and listen to me!"
"Okay, what's up?"
"I have sent you here for an important mission, in order to help save this world."
"Cool, what's the mission?"
"Herobrine, my brother, is to be banished from this world many years from now by the team that Jesse will lead, but because of that, he rewound the timeline and has sent someone here to make sure that Jesse and his friends will never become the heroes that save this land. What you have to do is stay with Jesse and his friends and make sure this person my brother sent here doesn't do anything to disrupt the timeline."
"So all I have to do is hang out with the main characters?!"
"Not exactly. What you have to do is make sure their fates stay the same in order for them to become heroes, but this means even you have to be careful not to interfere with too much, or that will hurt the timeline even more."
"Can I make Jesse and Petra fall in love?"
"No."
"Damnit."
"The first thing you need to do is make sure Jesse enters the building competition which is in two days. I heard that the person my brother sent has convinced Jesse into not entering. Make sure he enters!"
"Got it!" With that said and done, Sophie walked over to the treehouse Jesse lived in and was about to climd up the ladder when she heard two people talking, and it seemed to be coming from behind her. She ran into the bushes to make sure she wouldn't get spotted.
"You sure you don't want to at least go to Endercon?" Asked one of the voices. Sophie recognized it immediately as Olivia's voice and started fangirling silently.
"It just doesn't seem worth it." Another voice replied, obviously Jesse.
"Well, let me know if you change your mind." Olivia said.
"Alright, see ya tomorrow!" Jesse yelled as footsteps were heard becoming quieter, "Come on Reuben." Sophie had forgotten about Reuben dying in episode four, it hit her like bullet to hear his happy oinking. Sophie jumped out of the bushes and landed on her face right in front of Jesse. As she looked up at him, her face lit up.
"Yo." She said, as she raised her hand for him to fist-bump her. He obliged and lowered his fist so the girl could get the fist-bump she hoped for. As she felt Jesse's knuckle on hers, she tried to hold in the excitement that she felt. She stood up and opened her mouth to speak.
"Hi, um, hi," Sophie was lost in words, but she knew she had to do something in order for Jesse to enter the building competition, "I'm Sophie."
"Jesse, and this is Reuben." He replied in a very puzzled tone. Sophie really badly wanted to tell him that she already knew who they were, but she was afraid that might blow her cover.
"So, uh, I'm a big fan of your buildings you've made in the Endercon building competitions over the years and, I heard that uh, that you're not entering this year, is that true?" She said.
"Yeah, it's true." He replied, kicking the dirt as he talked.
"Well, that's a shame 'cause I was hoping I'll get to watch you build."
"Well that's a first."
"Hey, how about I'll help you, how does that sound?"
"Sophie, be careful, remember not to change too much."
"Uh, sure, why not!" Jesse replied, not taking a second thought on the situation.
"Awesome! So, how about we meet up sometime tomorrow to come up with ideas for something to build?" Asked Sophie.
"Sure."
"Cool!" They both stood there, not knowing what to say next, but then, Jesse broke the awkward silence.
"Where's your parents?" He asked.
"Sophie, just tell him they're de—"
"I was born in The End."
"Woah, does that make you part Enderman?" Jesse was shocked by where she was 'born', but on the other hand, Notch was quite angry by the sudden outburst.
"Nope, I'm all human!"
"Cool beans!"
"Yeah, cool-o-rama!" Once again, there was another awkward silence, until Sophie spoke up again, "Well, I'm just gonna go, um, look around town then, and I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay, see ya." And with that, Jesse picked up Reuben and went up the ladder to his treehouse, and Sophie was left with nothing to do, that is, until it's time to find somewhere to sleep.
"Good job with that. Now all you need to do is make sure Aiden sets Reuben's costume on fire in two days." Said Notch, obviously lying a little bit when saying that she did a good job.
"I'm gonna go stalk my favorite characters." Sophie joked, running off in a random direction. She ran around for a few minutes, trying to find a familiar direction, and eventually found a very familiar cave. It had a large opening and fences surrounding it, and there was a ladder leading down into the dimly lit cave; it was Petra's home.
"Sophie, I know what you're thinking, don't intrude in her private property." Notch said, having the feeling she was going to sneak into her cave.
"I'm not gonna steal anything," She replied, "I'm just gonna look inside." With that, Sophie slowly climbed down the ladder, into her favorite character from the games home.
"Sophie, you better get out of here." Notch commanded, but Sophie didn't listen.
"This is so cool." She said, looking around at her surroundings.
"This is a cave, you can get killed in here!" Once again, she didn't listen.
"I'll be fine Notch." She was wrong; at the corner of her eye, she saw a zombie coming towards her, "Crap-crap-crap-crap-crap!" She started to run, but ended up running into a dead end.
"Shoot!"
"Hold on child, hold out your left hand!" Sophie did what he told, and her all her fingers fused together and created a giant spike.
"Awesome!" She swung her spiked hand at the zombie, slicing it in half and killing it instantly.
"Now get out of here before Petra comes back and sees you!" Notch said, and this time, Sophie did what he told, but then stopped once she saw that it was too late; the badass redhead was already home.
"Crap." Sophie whispered, hoping that Petra hadn't seen her yet.
"Sophie, go the other way." Notch commanded. She obliged, and ran the way of the bridge from the opening credits in episode one. She stopped on the bridge, and looked back into the cave, where she saw Petra walking over there, her iron sword out at the ready. Sophie felt like this was exactly the same as the opening decision, fight or jump, but this time, her only choice was to jump and stay hidden, so she jumped, just in time before Petra saw her.
"Why the heck did I decide to go in there?" She asked herself once she had made to the bottom of the bridge.
"I don't know, just stay out of sight until it's time to see the characters at the competition." Notch told her.
"Yeah yeah, I got it." Sophie replied to the voice in her head as she swam off to shore.
"Hey Notch?" Asked Sophie, walking through the village in which Endercon was going to be held.
"Yes?" Notch replied.
"So, back when you turned my hand into a massive spike thing, can you do that like, when ever you want?"
"Yes, I can, but I'd prefer to do it when you're actually in danger."
"Does that mean I can die here and then I'll die in real life?" Notch didn't answer that question, which most likely meant yes. The sun was starting to set, so Sophie had to hurry up and find somewhere to sleep. She decided to sleep somewhere near the treehouse. On the way there, it started to rain, so she decided to sleep underneath the treehouse.
"You could just ask Jesse if you could sleep there." Notch told her, having a pretty good idea of what she was thinking.
"I don't wanna go through the hassle of telling him that I have nowhere to sleep." Sophie replied, trying to get comfortable at the bottom of the trunk of the treehouse. Thunder was then heard, which was a good reason to sleep inside, and not outside, "Yeah, I'm gonna go inside." Sophie climbed the ladder up to Jesse's treehouse, to see the underneath of a pig laying on the trapdoor.
"Hey Reuben!" She called to him. The pig jumped up at the sudden voice, looking around the room to see where it came from, "I'm underneath you!" Reuben looked down and saw Sophie and started squealing to try and get Jesse's attention.
"What is it Reuben?" He asked, walking over to him.
"Yo Jesse!" Sophie called to him. Jesse looked down to see Sophie there.
"Sophie, what're you doing back here?" He asked.
"I, uh, kinda have nowhere to sleep tonight."
"See that wasn't so hard was it?"
"You can stay here if you want." Jesse insisted, and Sophie was happy to accept his offer.
"Thanks." Sophie replied, pushing the trapdoor open after Reuben had moved out of the way for her. Sophie felt so excited to be inside of the treehouse from the start of the game. She looked over to Jesse, who was doing up the bed for her to sleep on, and started asking him a few questions.
"So, how long have you lived in a treehouse?" She asked.
"My parents left me with this place after they sold their house and went off to a place where they'll be looked after until… you know." Jesse replied, cleaning the bed off of dirt from Reuben's feet.
"I'm so sorry."
"Don't worry, it happened years ago." Jesse then motioned towards the bed, showing that it was now okay to sleep on it.
"Thanks." Said Sophie, hopping into the bed.
"How old are you?" Asked Jesse, slightly curious.
"Twelve." Sophie replied.
"So, are your parents in The End right now?"
"Yeah."
"Alright, well, uh, why are you here then?"
"Um, I'm here 'cause, Endercon."
"Okay, well, have a good night sleep." Jesse bid goodnight as he laid down on the floor.
"You sure you don't want to sleep in the bed?" Sophie asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure."
"Alright, goodnight." And with that, the second Sophie's head hit the pillow, she fell fast asleep.
Sophie woke up with a bright light shining in her eyes. She was strapped to a table and was wearing a mussel. She couldn't move, but she didn't need to see around her in order to know that this wasn't a good place to be in. The table started to move upwards so that Sophie was up straight, staring forward. There was an eerie and disturbing feeling, laying there, strapped to a table that looks like it was one used for testing and surgery. She tried to squirm around in the straps, seeing if there was a possibility that she could escape; nothing. The straps wouldn't even budge. A strange voice was then heard laughing insanely. Whatever was going on, Sophie didn't want to be part of it. All of a sudden, multiple mechanical arms swung round from the back of the table, all holding buzzsaws, tweezers, syringes, and all sorts of other sharp devices and objects.
"My brother sent you here huh." A deep voice said, "Well, looks like I've got a little competition on my hands."
Sophie tried again to escape, but it felt like the straps were tightening themselves. One of the buzzsaws started to get dangerously close to her eye, it even started to dig into her skin. She tried to move her head away from it, but it ended up making a bleeding gash underneath her left eye.
"You must be careful what you do here girl, things that hurt you here will damage your body in the real world, and plus, if you aren't careful enough, you might just run into a former friend, and you don't want that. Stay out of my way." Allthe sharp objects came flying at her.
"Wake up."
"Is she okay?" Asked a tall large man, obviously Axel.
"I don't know, she's spazzing out for hours." Replied Jesse.
"Have you tried waking her up?" Asked Olivia.
"Yeah, I have."
Sophie then flung out of the bed and landed face first on the floor.
"Now she's awake." Said Axel.
"Are you okay?" Asked Jesse, leaning down at her. She didn't answer, she just crawled over to the trapdoor in the middle of the room and leaned her head over it. A large cut in her face started to open up, and it started to bleed heavily.
"Even the dreams are real?" She asked herself.
"Sophie, are you okay?" Jesse repeated.
"I-I'm fine." She replied, wiping the blood from her face while standing back up.
"So, uh, this is Sophie," Jesse introduced her to his friends, "She said she could help us with the building competition."
"Oh so now you want to build something." Olivia mocked.
"Uh yeah, well, Sophie, meet Axel and Olivia."
"Hi guys." Said Sophie, waving at them.
"Your face is bleeding." Axel told her.
"I know." Sophie replied.
"Yeah, what happened?" Asked Jesse, just realizing the blood all over her face.
"What nothing happened what were we talking about?" Sophie blurted out as quickly as she could, "Look! It's Soren the Poopy-Face!" Sophie pointed behind them and then ran for it, running straight into a wall; they didn't even fall for it.
"Sophie, what in my name are you doing?" Asked Notch.
"That was a wall." Sophie replied. Axel leaned in to whisper something to Jesse.
"She's crazy." He whispered.
"So um, I was thinking that maybe we could build some sort of fireworks dispenser." Said Olivia, trying to ignore what just happened.
"That sounds pretty awesome!" Axel exclaimed.
"I like it." Jesse also agreed on the idea. Now all they needed was Sophie to agree on it. She then walked back over to them, her face red from running face first into the wall.
"Sounds good, but what if we made it a themed fireworks dispenser, like if we built something over the front of it." Sophie suggested, knowing how the storyline went.
"Yeah, and I say we build a Creeper!" Said Axel.
"I was thinking more of an Enderman." Olivia suggested.
"I was thinking that maybe we could do a zombie." Jesse said.
"Or a skeleton!" Sophie exclaimed, "I can build the ribcage!"
"Sophie, a skeleton isn't one of the options, and plus, this part isn't supposed to happen until tomorrow." Notch said.
"I like that idea." Olivia agreed on the idea of the skeleton.
"I think it's pretty sweet." Said Jesse, also agreeing on the idea.
"I guess so." Axel kind of agreed. He wanted to do his idea, but he still liked this one.
"I guess we should probably start collecting supplies." Said Jesse, scratching the back of his head, not entirely knowing what to do next.
"Sounds like a plan!" Exclaimed Sophie, doing finger-guns at Jesse. And with that, they all ran off to climb down the ladder to start with the boring part of building: collecting supplies. While climbing down the ladder, a shadow in the woods caught Sophie's eye. For a split second, she saw their face. She recognized them, but she wasn't able to get a good look at them, since as fast as she saw them, they had vanished. Who was that guy? She didn't really care right now, since all she really cared about was going through the storyline and forcing Jesse and Petra to make out. They all ran off in different directions to collect materials for their build, and with this, our heroes adventure begins, but it might not be as fun as she thought it would be…
Authors Note: And with this, a new story has started! For those of you who are waiting for the sequel to Friendship Never Parts, but Motives Seep in, this is, unfortunately, not the sequel. This is a completely different story, but don't worry, the sequel to Friendship Never Parts, but Motives Seep in is still happening. So, what do you think of Sophie so far? Why don't you tell me in the form of a review if you feel like it. Hopefully, I will see you in the next chapter!
