Loud footsteps thunder through the snow behind me. The sound of a girl screaming. Blades whipping through tree leaves. I hear another scream, much more familiar, from not far away. White, glowing eyes illuminate the ground as Herobrine appears out of the pale dawn, blood dripping from his diamond blade, and, to my horror, Damian's head hanging from it. Herobrine smiles evilly, drawing out a new diamond sword, slowly advancing upon me. Aw shit! I really couldn't believe I'd die like this. I had been sure I wouldn't. I had always thought I was somewhat "immortal", since I'd always be able to slip our of near-death situations in the real world, so much that I considered my only way out as old age. Then I look back to Herobrine. And realize I was wrong. He advances still, sword raised high above his head, blade gleaming in the early sun. And charges. Suddenly, a vine-made lasso flies through the air, catching onto Herobrine's neck, choking him. A somewhat younger girl, covered completely in blood, jumps down from a tree, reeling the lasso in, tightening it around Herobrine, who gagged and spluttered, arms flailing. I looked at her and we exchanged happy glances, me sighing in relief at the knowledge I would live another day. Herobrine opened his mouth, screaming the most terrifying thing I could've known, bringing it to reality; "Y-You do realize," He screamed, "If I die here, I go back." Then he spoke no more. He flailed weakly, emitting eerie gurlging sounds, and opened his mouth once more, as if trying to say with that, he fell limp.

Herobrine falls to the ground, a continuous rain of green orbs erupting from his body. Experience orbs. The other and I stare in horror at the blood on the ground, and at ourselves, covered with the same substance, from our kills and from our wounds. We look at eachother, and I know the same question rings in his head. What does Herobrine mean by "Go back"? Did he mean...back to the real world? The question bared with me for the rest of the Minecraft day.
