I am in such a bad mood :( Has anyone ever seen the movies Cyberbully or Trust? I suggest checking them out (I warn you that Cyberbully has strong language and Trust is a very adult situation.) They're both pretty good, but they make you so sad! I legit never cry after anything, but I teared up at these. Never watch a sad movie at night, especially when you have to rage over the main character's stupidity *cough Trust cough* Seriously, here's a lesson: If a guy you met online constantly says he's older than what he originally told you, asks to meet you in public, and then buys you... Revealing clothing, you never get in a car with him, right? Not according to this movie.

Oh wait, I was supposed to be writing an A/N for this chapter? Um... Disregard the first paragraph and enjoy.

We walked for half the day before reaching what Mike called a cave. I looked into the dark room and frowned. "You want me to go in there? It looks so cold and clammy and gross."

"Man up." Sky said. "You can't obsess over how weird things are here forever."

"I'm girl with no intention of turning into a man, thank you very much." I snapped.

Mike rolled his eyes. "It's an expression, but that's beside the point. C'mon, we need iron if we're planning on getting to the End." He entered the cave and I sighed.

"Don't we even have anything to light it up?"

Sky hesitantly walked into the cave. "C'mon, I'll teach you how to mine and then make some torches."

"That's a bit dangerous..." I muttered quietly enough that he didn't hear me. I cautiously walked behind him, my head swiveling back and forth to check for monsters. It seemed safe, so I followed him to a patch of black flecks on stone. He pointed to it with his pick.

"This is coal. Now, you don't need to mine too much of it, but grabbing a stack would be great."

"What's a stack?" I asked. What was it, like, the amount I could carry in my hands?

"A stack is 64 pieces. We needs lots of it for smelting." He answered. "Oh, and smelting is where we extract iron from the iron ore." I closed my mouth, he had answered my question. "Alright, iron is like this but tan. Look around on your own, don't die, and shout if you need us."

I nodded and went on my own way. Looking around, I saw gold, red, and light blue flakes, but no tan. My eyes scanned the cave but found nothing of use. I sighed as I turned a corner, but my eyes hit the wall and lit up. Tan flakes were stuck in some stone. So this was iron... Interesting. "I found some!" I called out. Grasping the stone pickaxe, I began mining like Sky had shown me. My arm tired quickly and my grip was awkward, but soon I saw the little cracks in the stone until it flew towards me and disappeared. A smile swept my face. I wanted to be good at something, and this seemed pretty easy. I went to work mining the other blocks.

A faint hissing noise echoed through the small cavern I was in, but I ignored it. It was probably just me going crazy. I got to the last iron block and stretched my torso to reach it on the ceiling. "Elle, I'm bringing you an iron pick!" Mike called from somewhere far behind me. I lost my place and had to start again. As I continued to break it, I heard his footsteps come closer. The piece broke and suddenly a glowing orange liquid seeped through the hole. I gasped at the heat and stumbled backwards, but strong arms caught me. "I see you found a lava pool." He said in a low voice, almost like my discovery was a secret.

I blushed at my clumsiness. "Yeah, apparently I did." He didn't seem to be letting go of me, so I pushed myself back onto my feet. "Do you want the iron I got?"

"That depends." He laughed. "Are you planning on burning to death in lava?"

"No." I said, feeling irritated. "Just in case, though, here's the eight pieces I got."

He traded me an iron pickaxe. "This will mine faster."

I nodded. The sooner I was out of this death trap, the better. After looking around the cave, I found what Sky called a "stack" of iron and a stack of coal. I found out that the blue stuffs was mineable; In fact, it was something I could use.

"They have gemstones in this game?" I yelled as the word diamond flashed before my eyes.

Sky came running over. "What were you yelling about?"

I showed him the diamond. "You never mentioned gems."

His eyes were wide and focused in the sparkling gem. "You actually found the first diamond."

"There's more?"

He gave me an are-you-dumb look and I cringed. "Of course there is. I just can't believe you already-"

"What's that gold stuff? Is it actually gold?"

He clenched his teeth. "Budder. It's budder."

"Oh." I said simply. "I was going to make a golden chain for my diamond necklace."

"You were going to make a diamond necklace?" He yelled. "Are you dumb?"

"Whoa." I said. "What else do you need it for?"

"Tools! The End! The Nether! We need every single diamond we can get!"

I sniffed. "I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

"Maybe you shouldn't have been playing the game, then, noob."

His hands immediately went up to cover his mouth, but the damage had been done. I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyebrows. "Oh really? I'm a noob? I wouldn't want to be a burden or anything."

"Elle, wait-"

"If I'm such a noob I should just leave." I said angrily.

"Elle, I didn't mean that."

"Goodbye, jerk." I said as I walked towards the entrance to the cave. As a second thought, I stopped and looked over my shoulder. "And I'm taking your stupid diamond with me!"

My head peered outside into the darkness that was night. I saw a skeleton in the distance, but my only weapon was a pickaxe since they didn't fully trust me with one of our two swords. I sighed, trying to think of somewhere to wait out the night. I looked around at the endless row of trees. Some of them had vines... I could climb those. I tested it out and I was right.

I reached the top of the tree and looked around. I saw a swarm of zombies... All headed towards me. Soon enough there were all sorts of mobs at the base of my tree. What had I done?

Next chapter may be longer since I actually have a plot. New characters, if I go with my plan. Tell me in the reviews how you think Elle's relationship with the boys is going (prior to screaming and leaving, that is.)
