"I'm in a miiine shaft, trying to get home, mining some diiiamonds for yooou…"
What the… Where am I?
"Oh, good, you're awake! I thought I'd have to give you mouth-to-mouth, though I don't think Flint would like that very much…" a girl's voice laughed, and I sat up.
"Who are you?" I asked, realizing how rude it sounded, but not really caring. My head hurt slightly as I took in my surroundings. Wow, this girl must be obsessed with Minecraft, I thought, and then looked at her and my jaw dropped. I quickly shut it as I shook my head and laughed nervously.
"You can call me Steel, um…" she replied, and I grinned.
"Jade."
She smiled back and gestured behind her. "This is my humble abode; make yourself at home, my queeeen," she joked and I laughed again. I didn't fully realize that I was sitting in a cave.
"Well, I think my friends might be around here somewhere. Care to help me find them?" I asked, standing up. Walking over to a stream running through the cave, I looked at my reflection. I look like a Minecraftian!
"Jade, this is my acquaintance, Master Rex, god of the wolves," Steel said, and I turned around to see a boy about fifteen or so.
"You can call me Rex, Miss Jadie," he said, and I didn't hesitate to correct him.
"Just Jade, and it's nice to meet you, Rex," I replied and we shook hands. He walked out of the cave, and a chill ran down my spine.
"Ry, this is Jade. She's not gonna hurt me," Steel said in an annoyed tone, and I turned around to see a silver-eyed enderman with a cloth around its left eye.
"Alright. I'm just being careful, Steel," she said. "Pew and I are going to check for some food, and Flint said he'd be back in half an hour."
"Alright. Don't have too much fun, now," Steel said, and the enderman- well, enderwoman, teleported out of the cave, leaving a thin purple mist behind.
"Who's Pew?" I asked, trying not to laugh at the name.
"My spider-friend," she replied, and chuckled. "He always calls me 'master'. It's quite funny, actually."
"Speaking of friends, want to help me find mine?" I asked, and she nodded.
"I've got nothing else to do. Why not?" Steel responded. We walked out of the cave together, and I instantly stopped.
"Fish! Come here, boy!" I shouted, and the yellow dog rushed over to me. "Fish, oh man, I'm so happy to see you!"
"Jade? That's a dog, not a fish!" Steel laughed, and I rolled my eyes.
"Fish is his name, Einstein," I replied, picking the puppy up in my arms.
Steel stopped laughing and tilted her head. "Who's Einstein?" she asked, and I broke down into a laughing fit.
"Oh, come on, you have to be kidding me! You don't know who Einstein is?" I said, and she shook her head. I sighed. "Never mind, then."
"So, uh, who are your friends?" she asked as we walked into the forest.
"Allie J. and Eleven. His real name isn't Eleven, but it's easier to call him that," I said, and Fish hopped down and barked. "And this is Fish, my dog. He's very intelligent," I added, and we both laughed.
"You never answered my question," I said.
"What ques- oh, right," she responded. "You're in the northern Bajan Forest, Minecraftia, planet Minecraft."
I sighed. "That can't be right, I'm not-" I stopped myself and Steel looked over at me. "Let's just stop talking for a while."

"Jade, where the hell are you!?" I yelled again. After I had gone back into my own room, the server that she was playing on had been shut off. I went back in her room and found her chair empty, with letters on the screen. I hurried over and my heart skipped a beat when I finished reading it.
Only God can save you now.
That's when I panicked. Those words- no one had said them in hundreds of years, they were practically forbidden. And here they were, plastered on my little sister's screen, and she was nowhere to be found.
My parents had left during the night to go on a week-long business trip, and if they came home to find that I had lost my sister, I wouldn't be trusted ever again. If it was true, if He wasn't gone, then what would I do? Jade could be anywhere, hell, she could be dead!
Shut. UP. Get it together, Alex! I yelled in my head. I can do this. She had been playing with her friends, right? If I call their parents, surely they'll think I'm insane. "Oh, hey, did your children magically DISAPPEAR recently?" I'm just going to have to deal with this myself, I guess.
That can't be that hard, can it?
A/n: The long-awaited chapter four! I'm sorry it's been so long, everyone. I can never get a lot of time on the computer :/ QOTD: PewDiePie or Tobuscus? Please don't fight about this; it's just a personal preference. See you in the next chapter!
