I am very very sorry about the delay on Chapter 7. With the end of the school year coming in two days, I have been pretty busy. Also when I tried to update the story, The computer had a problem so I couldn't. But I am going to make it up to you. I have made chapter 7 a very long chapter and I will possibly start writing a new story sometime in June. So I hope you like Chapter 7.
Chapter 7: Cave Dwellers Part 2
I was still recovering from being poisoned by the raw chicken I ate, but I am starting to feel a ton times better than I did a day ago. Rooster has been out collecting mushrooms for stew so I can eat and get my strength up. Today I had my first real meal, a baked potato. I felt glad that I could eat better. I am also starting to get my strength up by walking around our house, and chopping wood.
My nightmares are also gone. I am starting to dream regular dreams like me playing video games (and how ironic it is that we are stuck in a video game) or me watching TV. I don't really dream about exciting stuff. Rooster said that in no time, we will be back in the cave to mine some more. I was very excited about that.
And so it was after a couple hours have past, Rooster told me that we were going to go to the cave, if I felt like it. I was so ready to go. I wanted out of this house and I wanted to go have fun.
"YES"! I told him, "I want out of this house and get into some action".
"Are you sure your feeling up to it, I don't want you pushing it so far that you pass out", Rooster told me sounding concerned.
"Dude I'm not going to pass out", I responded, "I am feeling a lot better. I can eat real food, I can get up and walk around, and my nightmares are gone, I know I can do this". I was not going to let this offer go away so easily. Rooster smiled.
"Good, because I have been dying to go to that gave too", he said, "every time I went out for you, I have decided to go to the cave, but I didn't because I knew you were sick, and I wasn't going without you".
"Then why are we standing in here and talking, let's go", I said. Rooster nodded and opened the door. The wind upon my face felt like a nice cold drink of water after you've been running for miles until you have finished. I felt free. We started to walk in the direction of the cave in silence. We were both super excited to go to the cave again, we were speechless. We then came upon the cave with the two sides going right and left.
"Same plan?" asked Rooster.
"You know it", I responded. We both entered the cave and took our paths. I kept on running until my torches stopped and it reached the big waterfall of molten rock coming down slowly. Very carefully, I placed cobblestone on the lava so I could get across. Inch by inch I went hoping not to fall. Then I had finally made it across unscathed, but hot. I started to place more torches to light the way. Then I had finally found what I was looking for. Diamonds.
Roosters' pov.
It was nice to be in the cave again. After so long I would be back in here looking for precious minerals. The only thing I had found was a few pieces of iron ore, but that is a good start. I knew there was something deep within this cave, I felt it. I came to the place I had stopped to call MetalGamer to tell him I was starving. I started to go through more of the cave, placing torch after torch.
So far I found nothing but stone and some dirt. I really wanted to find some diamonds or at least some gold. But what I really want to find is a mineshaft. I would always explore my heart out in a mineshaft when I would play the game. I would always look for hidden chests and mine carts. Sometimes, I would literally spend hours in a mineshaft. I don't know why I like them so much, I guess everyone likes them too.
It had been about fifteen minutes since we've been inside the cave. I found some more iron ore and made another iron pickax. I am actually surprised that I have reached no dead ends or ran into any enemy mobs. This was going pretty well. I wonder how MG is doing I thought.
My POV.
I was so surprised how fast I had found diamonds. I started to mine them. Looks like I chose the right way to go I thought. I could not wait to rub my new diamond sword in Roosters , I had found 5 diamonds for a sword and pickax. I crafted my sword as fast as I could. I then looked at it. I felt so powerful. It was like I could already take on the Ender dragon.
I was about to craft my pickax when I thought about something. I started to feel bad. So I kept my 3 diamonds for something useful. I then started to go through more of the cave looking for more minerals, but then I saw something I didn't want to see. A creeper was starting to come towards me quickly. It caught me off guard. I started to run hearing its evil his behind me. I then waited for the explosion, but I didn't hear anything. It started to calm down.
I then quickly pulled out my diamond sword and started to chop it down. Every time I hit it, I backed away so it didn't explode. I kept on doing my technique until he was dead. I collected his gunpowder inside of him and went on. But my troubles weren't over yet. There was something else I didn't want to see. A dead end In front of me.
Again I am so sorry about the delay, but now you guys can look forward to a new story I am going to write. It is going to be very awesome. Hope you guys review.
