*Authors Note*
Hey everyone Pineappleman here again! I just couldn't wait to update the story. I had so many great ideas swimming around my head. Also I decided to change the format to be more readable so here we are chapter 2!
*End of Authors Note*
"Alex...Alex" A voice from the dark void calls out "hmmn?" the gears in my brain start turning "Alex...your time is not yet" the voice grew louder "What?" Is all i can muster before the memories of the day started to flood back to me, Richie hitting me and me coming home to the white void. I can all remember it. As my mind begins to function properly I start to feel something else. Wind! it tears at me with daggers of ice. I feel as if i'm falling? That can't be right...But finally my eyes have caught up with the rest of the body and they open to reveal
Yep i'm falling all right, panic starts to set in and but I do my best to suppress it. "Think!" I urge myself, using what precious little time I have I start to formulate a plan. "Water!" It wasn't the best idea but it will have to work. I try my best to glide towards the sea of blue. "If minecraft taught me anything landing in water saves you from falling to your death!" In my panicked state I completely forgot water can act like a solid surface but It was my best course of action. So only meters away from the surface inhale as much as my lungs can hold and brace.
*SPLASH*
The water was freezing it made the winds daggers seem like butter knifes. That coupled with my limited air supply made me swim faster than iv'e ever swam, I practically flopped onto shore. *COUGH * *COUGH* "Oh-COUGH land Please-COUGH don't ever leave me." I said practically smothering the sand with my affection. The very course and smooth sand. In fact it's very smooth... almost, unnaturally... smooth. My eyes once again shoot open.
"whaaaat?" it's all blocks, the sand the trees the grass. Looking up I then see that even the clouds are blocks! Like a freight train of bricks it hits me hard. "I AM IN MINECRAFT" a mixture of joy, intrigue and wonder starts to well up inside. I am in my favorite game, the game I have spent over 3000 hours in, the game that pretty much became my life and now I'm here living it! Feelings of disbelief start to come. "I have to be dreaming" I say out loud. I try pinching myself and to my surprise i felt it, I'm really here. I am feeling ecstatic like I can run a marathon.
But then suddenly a deep feeling of dread slowly creeps in. "This isn't a dream, I'm really here." Thoughts of my friends and family come, what will mom do when she get's home? Will Liam be the first to find out? "LOLA!" I yell, no ones going to be at home to take care of her. What if I never make it back? I'll die here! I wanted change to my life but this? It's to much! Tears try to well up but I force myself not to cry, I need to be strong in these types of situations. That's what my dad told me before..."Enough of that, I need to focus at the task at hand" I say out loud."
"If I am in Minecraft I'll have to use the terrain around me to survive" By now I have gotten off the shore and have been surveying the environment. there's a small forest in front of me with some sort of trail in the middle a hill to the right of me and some sort of shore line to the back and left of me. I decided to follow the trail later but now I had come up to a tree. "Oak, hmmmm" I reared back my right arm and with a mighty shout thrusted it into the tree with a mighty fist.
*CRACK* My arm set ablaze with pain for a brief few seconds "OWWW" I say as I shrink down to the ground in pain. For all my efforts a small crack appeared briefly and then diapered, it seems I need to take a different approach to this. I then get up again and try hitting the tree with my left a bit more softly. Finally after several seconds of hitting. A small wooden block popped out. "Interesting" I say, it seems that I had no inventory so I put it in my jeans pocket.
While putting it in my pocket I had felt something else. My phone! I had forgotten about it, I quickly fish it out of my soaking whet pocket, to my surprise it turned on. But it had only 10% battery, I silently cursed myself for not charging it. Seeing as I get no service though there isn't much point. I then empty my pockets for any of my other possessions. Finding my wallet I quickly look through it, wallet, credit card, 40$, license, nothing that can help me.
By now my soaking whet clothes were starting to bother me, I had to find a way to dry them, and I also had to find a shelter soon because the sun was getting close to the horizon. So I broke a shrub got a stick and then headed off on the trial. A slight paranoid feeling started to build up while walking on the trail. Almost as if I was being watched, the feeling started to get magnified with the fact that darkness started to overtake the land. So my leisurely stroll turned into a full on sprint soon enough, the run became faster with the sound of branches cracking and a set of unnatural sounding footsteps. Suddenly though there was a one block drop off to the path and I tripped.
I came down with a resounding *THUD* and once again pain started to well up but was subdued by the adrenaline pumping through my veins. I got up to my feet stick in hand ready to take on this foe. But out of the shadows came a thing of nightmares. An eight legged demon spawn, of course I knew spiders existed I just always hated them. Seeing the beast made me falter a little bit and consider running, but with stick in hand I decided against it and charged at the beast.
It was startled that I took direct action against it, so I used that to my advantage and plunged the stick straight through the arachnids head, dead within seconds. I took a step back and looked at my work, except the body vanished without a trace. Leaving behind just some string, "Right...Minecraft." I thought. Then looking around my environment and realizing that it's dark I set off on the trail again. This time more cautious and at a faster pace, finally I see a light.
At first I thought it was a village but on closer inspection it just seems to be one house. It seems to be some sort of farmhouse, but it also looks abandoned since there's nothing growing in the field and there's no animals insight. I go up to the door and nock...Then nock a second time and then finally a third. "Must be abandoned, In that case!" I open the door peeing my head in, the interior is slightly ransacked with not much left except. Bread! A loaf on delicious bread, I scarf it down in seconds. It was slightly stale but that didn't matter, food was food. Looking around there wasn't much else in the house except a chest with nothing in it and a bed. I decide to rest there for the rest of the night, stripping out of my wet clothes and hanging them to dry, I then sit down upon the bed letting myself slip away into the land of dreams.
In the cover of darkness there was a pair of purple eyes illuminated in the shadows, staring at the abandoned farm house but more importantly at its occupant. "He's more resourceful and resilient than I first expected... Perfect. The eyes then slowly disappear into the forest "Sleep now my Toy for the journey has only begone!"
With that complete silence falls on the forest for only the heavens Know why
