A/N: OK! OCs are done! When I saw all the entries for the OCs (recent and earlier), I was like…holy crap you guys! I am happy to say I can contain all (13) of the OCs, and to celebrate here is the second chapter! And before I head off to sleep from this exhausting day, I have some replies to give. See you at the end!

'~ CHAPTER 2 ~'

Sky's POV

"What?" TrueMU questionably asks, cautiously touching the oak tree in front of him, "It feels the same. How?"

"Ok, this might be a stupid possibility," Bajan holds his hands outward in a position, "But I'm…sort of thinking we haven't gone through the portal, but just flew through the frame."

"You know what, BajanCanadian, you are right, that was a stupid possibility," Deadlox snappishly says, "Because I don't see the city anywhere!"

"Are you calling me and idiot?" Bajan shoots back.

"Whoa, guys, calm down!" Sky stands between the two bickering Minecrafters before Bajan could swing a punch at Deadlox, "Now is not the time to fight. We have to find a way to get back."

"Sky's right, but how would we know if we don't know where we are?" TrueMU asks, looking around yet again.

"Well…I guess we first have to find someone to see and find out what the Nether is going on," Bajan says, lowering his balled fist.

"Guys!" Jerome yells, gaining everyone's attention, "There's a village over here with villagers and other people who look like Minecrafters."

"Great job, Jerome, but remember we don't know how these people are like. So we must proceed with caution," I pep talk with them once we stood in a semi-circle on top of the hill Jerome stood at.

"Right…lezzz goooo!" Bajan cheers running down the somewhat steep hill, down to the bottom of said structure unharmed. Everyone's eyes, including mine, were wide open as we stared down at the crazy Minecrafter.

"Come on!" he yells waving us down the hill. TrueMU and I looked at each other both of us having puzzled expressions but shrugged it off anyways. The last of us four went down at a moderate pace, not wanting to take the risk of hurting ourselves.

"You guys are so pathetic," Benja playfully scoffs at us, "I could have walked to that store down the street to get raw fish before you guys even touched the ground."

"There's raw fish?!" Jerome asked excitedly, going down said path that Bajan pointed to.

JeromeASF's POV

I sprint down the gravel path, the scent of raw fish hitting my nose. Making a sharp right turn, I slow down walking into the store.

"Get over here, Bajan!" I call over while still walking, "Or you aren't getting' any-ow!" I rubbed my head, holding myself up with a book shelf. I open my eyes, seeing that I had knocked not a thing but a person.

She had straight black hair with white tips. 'Never seen that type of hair before' I furrowed my eye brows mentally while looking at her other features. She wore a bright red, v-necked shirt along with short white shorts and some black knee-high boots matching her leather fingerless gloves. Her eyes were a soft blue until…

"Hey, I'm really sorry about kno-" I start, helping her up from the ground, but she slapped my hand away.

"Save it, fur ball!" she angrily yells at me, her eyes turning a fiery red much like her shirt, "You won't believe how many times you stupid males have done that to me just to get something out of me. Now out of my way!" her expression and her eyes turned back to a dark sea blue, as she storms out of the store, roughly pushing past Bajan on the way out through the entrance. He and my other four friends sent me shocked and somewhat angered looks…along with a few other people within the store.

"Jerome, what was that?" Sky hisses at me walking over to me and dragging me out of the store, the others, I assumed, following behind.

"I don't know, one minute I'm walking towards the fish a-a-a-and next thing I knew, I had bumped into her," I broke down in front of Sky. What more did he want from me?! I looked up just in time to see her make a turn pass the next building. I sighed and slumped my shoulders jogging said direction, and slowly turned it down to a stroll once I got past the building. I glanced to my left then to my right, and I saw her curled up against the building's wall softly crying, her knees cuddled towards her chest.

"Look, I'm really sorry about that back there," I slowly went over to her, crouching down till I was on my knees my side leaning against the wall, "I don't care if you don't talk to me ever again, just please forgive me?"

Her crying turned to sniffles, as her eyes peeked out to look at me. Despite how much I couldn't see her face, I still could tell that her now sapphire eyes were red probably from crying so hard. All it did was make me feel guiltier.

"Do you mean it?" she hopefully asks, raising her head a bit more, lifting my spirits.

"Yeah, I think it's horrible what those guys did to you. They should have used pick-up lines instead," I raise my right eye brow, making her laugh, "So…do you forgive me?" I ask her, helping her off the ground.

"Yes…I do," she smiles my way, "I'm Catalin."

"I'm Jerome, or Fluffy, if you hear my friends call me that," I smiled back, shaking her hand.

"I can see why," she giggles, looking me up and down while wiping her eyes till they were dry.

"Speaking of friends, could you come and meet with them? If they still think I didn't apologize I…just might get my ass kicked. Please?" I nervously ask, putting my hands together like I was praying.

"Of course…but to make it more convincing…" She then took her hand in mine, making me melt on the inside. She smirked and chuckled at me before we walked out from behind the building to where my friends and…another girl stood.

"Hi guys, I-"

"There you are, Catalin!" the new girl cuts me off, going up to Catalin and embracing her, making our hands break apart. For some reason, I was happy and sad our hands separated. I was glad because I swear my hands we getting sweaty, but sad because I felt something drop inside when I wasn't near her…

"Hey…Hope."

"I heard what happened, who did it to you this time? He's gonna be in shreds in seconds," the girl…named Hope threatens, sending me and my friends a step backwards.

"It's ok, Hope," she calms the enraged girl, "Jerome and I are cool, right?"

"Yeah, we are," I nodded rapidly, still afraid of Hope who still stands in front of me.

"Ok then!" she says in a hyper way, scaring me even more, "I'm Hope."

"…J-Jerome," I cautiously shook her eagerly stretched out hand.

"I'm sorry 'bout…snapping at you earlier, it's like you can't trust anyone these days," Hope explains, looking downward.

"It's ok, Hope," Deadlox walks forward to her, "And…what do you mean by 'you can't trust anyone these days'?" Catalin and Hope looked worried at each other.

"Well…I'm gonna have to tell you somewhere private," she whispers into Deadlox's ear, "Come on, I have a place we can talk along with others too."

A/N: AAAAAND here we go…

AxelMC131: Thanks for your advice, reading out loud those sentences really helped. I can see how you might be confused, and I have updated the chapter along with this one. Ps, you didn't sound mean at all. I really appreciated it! :D

crazykatz430: So, I thought about yours (OCs) and I wonder if I can use Ray and Katz as brother and sister rather than BF and GF. I feel that they will fit in better like that. And I was, tbh, was confused at your second post. Since when was submitting OCs hard…? O_o

Catalin (guest): When I saw your OC, I immediately fell in love with it! It was a unique one in my eyes. I hope you enjoy where I have set your OC! :D

21Kittens: Glad you liked the first chapter! And I actually have you, mysteriously, paired with one of the members. I just felt it'd be better if you found out through the story. XD Thanks again!

And to everyone else (that has already submitted), I will slowly get your OCs in as the chapters are written. I promise at one point in the story your OC will appear. Have a good day/night!
