Hello everyone! Sorry about the lateness I just had a lot of work to do and my weekly switch parents houses. Here we go with chapter 2!
They stood there for a few awkward moments before jet finally said "would you like me to show you around?" she agreed and he gave her the grand tour, they walked around the house, Thalia noticed the detail in the house; the walls were made of wooden planks but the corners were logs stacked perfectly even, the roof was diagonal planks making a pyramid at the top. As the tour continued jet explained everything, a diagonal tunnel going into a hill nearby: "my mine, where I get my resources" a fenced-off area of plowed dirt with stalks of wheat growing in it: "my wheat farm, of course it's really only for emergency" and last a VERY long ways away from the house, a strange oval-like shape with strange noises coming out of it that scared her so much she ducked behind jet until he explained "that's a nether portal made of obsidian, its very dangerous" the sun began to get dark so they went back inside, as they sat opposite each other by the fire they talked about their experiences, thalia started with "I woke up in a tree, not knowing how I got there or who I was, I began to explore around the forest when it began to get dark, that's when you came along" jet was shocked, did this happen so very recently? He thought for a moment then told thalia "I came to on a beach, I was scared and frightened, so I got to work on instinct, where or how I learned what I knew but I knew how to survive. So I made my first home, after a long time it got boring so I moved to this plain. I settled and began work, I had done all I knew I could and more, but it became boring too. So I began fighting monsters, it helped a little but that got easy too, then I found you" he stared at her and once again noticed how blue her eyes were, like the sky. Thalia said, looking at the floor "I guess it won't be long until you get bored of me, huh?" Jet was taken back and said "no! Of course not! You are the best thing so far to happen to me." Thalia tried to hide from blushing "well" said jet "until I can make a new bedroom you can sleep in mine, im fine on the couch" Thalia reluctantly agreed and as she drifted off into sleep she wondered what would happen next.
Jet woke up on the couch to music, he had a music box but he didn't turn it on, who did? Then he remembered last night. He got out of bed to see Thalia sitting in a chair by the music box by the fireplace, she looked up and nearly made the chair fall back "im sorry" she said quickly "I just was curious" he got up slowly and stretched "its fine, I rather like it really" and her panic went away. They sat at the table eating cooked pork for breakfast, he was hungry since he had to make another seat for Thalia, and so he ate it all. "So what do you normally do?" asked Thalia, jet replied "what I feel like, maybe mine or hunt or fish, what do you want to do?" she thought for a moment, the said "I'd like to see how you mine" so they went down the long shaft deep into the earth, jet stopped at a piece of coal ore "coal can be harvested with any pickaxe, as can stone" he broke the coal and took out the dark substance, the broke the stone and took the pieces, as she watched, he put them together to make cobblestone "other ores need other picks, like iron can be harvested with stone, gold, iron, or diamond" they ventured deep into the mine until they reached a cave obviously not made by jet "want to explore?" he asked "yes" said thalia, and together they went into the dark unknown cave.
They wound through the twisting caverns, as jet placed torches along the way Thalia thought to herself, here I am wandering a cave with a boy I only met a few hours after I came to, well at least I have somewhere. They walked through silently, breaking ores as they went until they decided to go back up, at the surface the two went inside and watched the sunset from a window by the doorway, Thalia said "you look like you've put a lot of work into your home" he replied simply "you mean OUR home." Then went to bed, leaving Thalia in stunned happiness.
The next few days were spent on Thalia's new room; jet made sure it was comfy with room to decorate. As soon as it was done they stood back and admired the new improvement to the house, Thalia's first night was peaceful lying in the bed, the sounds of the night lulling her to sleep. That morning jet and thalia decided to eat breakfast outside on the porch and as they stared at the horizon they saw a zombie burning on the plain, they laughed and ate until they saw something in the distance, Jet's mind wandered for a moment the dismissed the subject and went to go check the wheat while Thalia went fishing, thinking.
What was out there?
