Hello all, Dev's back with the next chapter for Missing in Minecraft. It took me awhile, I'm sorry, but coming up with ideas can be tiresome quickly. But, I did it, so I hope you enjoy the next chapter.
The Village
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
Analisa felt herself falling through the sky quickly. She tried to open her eyes, but the wind kept them closed. Suddenly, she hit the ground with a thud, sending a pounding headache shooting through her skull. She laid still for a few minutes as she heard two other thumps around her. After a few minutes, she started to get up, but something immediately caused her to stop for a second. As she tried to push herself up, she noticed that her fingers felt a little square, instead of rounded. Lisa began opening her eye as the light flooded her vision. Once her eyes settled, she looked around her, and she paused.
The environment around her was completely blocky. The grass was even pixilated and looked almost 2-D. She began to stand up, and she finally saw her hands. They were square as well, along with her arms and legs. She tried to spread her fingers, but the block that was her hand just expanded a little. She looked over her body, realizing that she was completely blocky.
"We can't be, can we?" Lisa asked herself, hearing someone groan behind her.
Lisa looked over to the right to see Tia and Nicole lying on the ground. Lisa ran over to them and knelt beside them as they started to stir. Tia was the first to wake up, seeing a blocky Lisa kneeling in front of her.
"Lisa? What's going on? Why are you a block?" Tia asked as Nikcei woke up as well.
"To be honest, I have no idea." Lisa explained. "One minute I remember being at the front door, the next, I'm falling from the sky."
"Are we in a dream?" Nikcei asked, looking at herself. "I mean, we're blocks."
"Yeah, we are." Lisa said. "I think we're in Minecraft."
"The game the guys were playing earlier?" Tia asked, confused. "How are we in there?"
Lisa stood there thinking for a second. She tried to remember everything that happened at the house just moments before. She remembered the boys playing Minecraft on the Xbox, the random knock on the door, and...
"Herobrine." Lisa finally said suddenly. "Herobrine appeared on the TV just before we all blacked out. He must have sent us here."
"How could he be that powerful?" Nikcei asked. "He was a video game character, there's no way he could have broken the fourth wall and teleported us here."
"I have no idea, but honestly, I don't think we have the time to figure it out right now." Lisa said, looking up into the sky.
"Why's that?" Tia asked.
"This game does have night and day. Night is the scariest time, since we have to deal with this world's monsters. The creeper at the front door is just one the many different monsters we'll have to face in this world."
"What do we do?" Nikcei asked, a little scared.
"We need to find shelter, and there's one place I know of that is guaranteed to have some buildings to stay in."
"Where's that?" Tia asked, standing up.
"The village. The first place I look for in a new world is the village; it always comes with a house where we can set up a base camp." Lisa said, looking around. "We're in the plains region, so it's probably this way. Come on girls, let's go."
The others nodded as they stood up and followed Lisa off into the distance, looking for the world's village.
The girls walked for what felt like miles, all of them starting to get tired. The sun was starting to set, causing Tia and Nikcei to start to get scared.
"Hey Donut, it's starting to get dark." Tia said, a shiver in her voice. "What do we do?"
"We'll have to make a small home to hide out the night. We'll just dig a hole in the ground and hide out. Follow my lead."
Lisa looked down at the ground below her and punched it. Instead of breaking her hand, however, a hole replaced the piece of dirt and a small brown block appeared in her hand. Tia and Nikcei both looked in awe as Lisa continued to hit the ground, making a large hole in the ground.
"Come on, get in the hole." Lisa said, Tia and Nikcei filing in as the stars started to show in the sky.
The girls piled into the hole and Lisa popped the dirt pieces above them, locking them in complete darkness. Tia was about to speak when a growl was heard above them. They could barely see each other, but Lisa was visible enough to tell them to keep silent. They waited in silence as time slowly passed. Eventually, the girls fell asleep against the walls, not knowing of the battle going on above them as a diamond blue sword cut clean through the head of a zombie.
Lisa eventually woke up first and punched a hole in the ceiling, flooding the hole with light. The others woke up and waited for Lisa to fully open the ceiling and placing a block so they could get out safely. They crawled out and saw a couple holes in the ground, but no left over monsters. They continued to walk into the distance, but not before Nikcei picked up a strange looking piece of meat. She placed it in her pocket, she thought, and continued after the others.
They kept walking, keeping an eye out for anything that looked like a building. They kept walking as the sun began to lower once again.
"How is it dark already?" Tia asked. "We've only been walking for a few minutes."
"Time here moves faster than in our world. A week to two can go by in this world before a day goes by in the real world." Lisa explained, still walking. "It's normal for the days to go by extremely fast, especially if we fall asleep."
"What are we supposed to do about food?" Nikcei asked, thinking to the food she had in her pocket.
"We have to find either the cows, chickens, or pigs in this world for meat. After they are killed, they'll drop meat for us to eat. Even if it's raw, it'll fill our stomachs for a while."
"We could be in trouble then, huh?" Tia asked. "I mean, we haven't seen anything for miles."
"I know, which is strange. We're going to have to hurry before we get too hungry."
Lisa dug another hole in the ground and everyone crawled inside. Once it was closed up, Lisa and Tia quickly fell asleep against the wall, but Nikcei continued to stay awake. She pulled out the piece of meat and stared at it. It was shaped kind of weird, and it smelled a little funny, but she was hungry. She began to eat the meat, which tasted normal to her. After it was gone, she quickly fell asleep as well, not knowing what she had done.
The next morning, the girls got to the top of a hill and looked off into the distance. Lisa squinted a little and sure enough spotted the wooden roofs of the buildings of a village.
"I see a village!" Lisa exclaimed, jumping with excitement.
"Awesome, now we can finally rest up and figure everything out." Tia said, smiling.
"Lisa, I don't feel so good."
Lisa and Tia turned around and stood shocked. Nikcei's face was a pale green color and it looked like she had green bubbles around her. She was holding onto her stomach like she was about to throw up and she looked half dazed.
"Nikcei, what happened!?" Lisa stammered, running up to her.
"I ate a piece of meat I found after our first night. I was hungry, so I ate it. I've felt sick since then."
"What did it look like?"
"It was shaped kind of funny, and it had kind of had spiky things on the top." Nikcei explained.
"Oh no."
"What did she eat?" Tia asked, terrified.
"Rotten flesh. It's dropped by zombies when they die. It poisons you for a few minutes, but it can be bad later on. We need to hurry to the village, now." Lisa directed, grabbing a hold of Nikcei.
The girls started to hurry down the path towards the village in the distance. They didn't notice the shape of a person appear on the hill behind them.
The girls eventually made it to the village, seeing the inhabitants scurry around. The villagers were a brown skinned people who wore dark brown cloaks and had their hands together most of the time. Their faces kind of reminded people of Squidward from SpongeBob, which created tons of jokes about the peaceful people. One villager looked over and noticed the girls and walked over.
"Hello there, travelers, what brings you to our village." He asked, his voice making Tia giggle silently.
"We need help first of all; our friend accidentally ate some rotten flesh. Can you help her please?" Lisa pleaded.
"Of course, just hold on." the villager said, turning around. "Hey! I need food, now!"
Suddenly, two more villagers came running out of some houses carrying loads of food in their arms. Tia and Nikcei lit up as the food was set in front of them. Both began to eat, Nikcei's color beginning to return to her skin. Lisa looked up at the villager and smiled.
"Thank you so much. I'm not sure we could have stayed out much longer."
"It's alright, we get adventurers coming in all the time, especially one who always seems to help us out. We agreed to always help out when we're needed. Is there anything else we can help you with?" the villager asked, looking towards the sun.
"Could we have a place to stay for now? And maybe be near a library? I'd like to do some research of the world." Lisa said.
"Of course, follow me."
The girls followed the villager into the village. They walked up towards a large building filled with bookshelves. Lisa smiled as he opened the door to the library and she immediately went to grab a book. The others looked around as the villager began to leave.
"I'm going to check on other aspects of the village for now, I shall return."
When he walked out and the door closed, Tia began to laugh, causing Nikcei to raise an eyebrow.
"What's so funny?" Nikcei asked.
"I just remember the guys making fun of those guys all the time, I couldn't help but laugh. They're so nice though."
"That's the best thing about the villages, they always nice people to help out when it's needed." Lisa explained, as the door opened behind them.
Lisa half expected to hear the voice of a villager by the front door, but instead, she heard a normal human voice speak out. It caused her eyes to go wide.
"More humans, huh? Well, maybe we can help each other out."
Another person in the story!? I wonder who it could be. Maybe we'll find out next time. Well, send in them reviews and give me some new ideas for stories. I'm always waiting. Deverell22 signing off.
