SO I'M NOT DEAD! Hurrah! I am sorry for the gigantic gap between chapters. I got really lazy over vacation, but I'm back to my good ol' hardworking self. Expect to see chapters more frequently, but I'm still getting back into balancing everything that I have to do. It's really challenging, but it shouldn't be too long till these are coming out every two or three days again.
Leo: You seriously need to update this more often.
Me: I KNOW. DON'T RUB IT IN.
Zoey: You know, watching you two argue is extremely hilarious, but I think that we should probably stop now.
Me: I'MA KILL YOU
Leo: I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY
*Ryan Jumps onto Leo and the two start fighting*
Zoey: Oh god, if you wont stop this, then I will. Everyone, enjoy chapter 11! :D
*Goes to pry the two of them apart*
Chapter 11: Leo
"Zoey!" I sat up in my bed, yelling to no one in particular. It was still the middle of the night, and everyone was still asleep. I was glad that I hadn't woken any of them up. While I wanted to try and sort out what just happened, my brain was too tired to think at the moment. I laid back down and closed my eyes. I immediately drifted off.
The next morning, I got out of bed and went downstairs. My head was still throbbing from my dreamtime experience, and I was trying to figure out if it was actually real. I honestly hoped it was, because that would mean Zoey was ok. Now that I think about it, Zoey had those dreams a while back that sort of predicted what was to come in the future. Maybe we had communicated through our minds. Anywhere else I would think that the idea was crazy. But here? Not so much. I was the first one awake, so I got some bread and ate my breakfast. It was around 8 before anyone else came to. Snowy dashed downstairs with an excited look on her face. "Oh Boy! Today we get to go mining! I'll finally get to do something exiting!" Shit. I had been so busy thinking about last night's experience, that I had completely forgotten that today was the day we were going mining. UGH.
Well, I was ready to go, but no one else seemed to be besides Snowy. It was only like 8:30, so it's not likely they'll be up anytime soon. I laid down on the couch and closed my eyes, figuring that I might not get sleep for another day or so. I was woken from my nap by Porkchop, who also seemed exited to go. They really don't get to do much, so I guess it makes sense. I pulled myself upwards, and saw that everyone else seemed ready. Herobrine held his pickaxe in hand, no expression on his face. I still don't what to think of that guy. His eyes really creep me out. But he seems OK. We walked out of the house and over to the planed cave. It was quite a long walk, but seeing as Herobrine already had a full set of Diamond armor, I trusted his judgment on where we should mine. Finally, he stopped walking.
"Here we are." In front of us stood a gigantic entrance to a cave, tunnels branching off in all directions. It was impossibly huge. I had a hard time believing that this was naturally formed. I could see the shock and awe on everyone else's faces, examining the amazing formation. After we had gotten over the fact of how magnificent this cave was, we split into teams. I told Snowy that she had to come with me, so naturally Porkchop wanted to tag along too. The two of them liked to annoy each other here and there, but they mostly got along well. That left Herobrine and Paige to go explore together as well. There were two tunnels that were distinctively bigger than the rest, so we went one way while they went the other. We found quite a large amount of Iron, but that wasn't really that important anymore. We have plenty of that, what we need are diamonds. They really were rare, but we had some pretty good luck. By the end of the day, we had collected around 20 of them. We also had pretty good luck with monsters. We didn't encounter that many, just the random zombie here and there. Feeling satisfied, we sat down to take a break. While Snowy and Porkchop were enjoying this trip, they were realizing just how laborious mining is.
I nommed down my sandwich, along with about five steaks. I should have realized earlier that a piece of bread was not going to hold me over till dinner. Of course I had a bunch of other food, but the bread was tasteless without something on it. Nobody really said anything while we ate, because our mouths were stuffed with food most of the time. Finally looking up from my now non-existent meal, I saw something green sneaking up on Snowy. It was something I had never seen before. It sure didn't look friendly, so I grabbed my sword and sliced it in half, startling both of them. "What the hell was that thing?!" Snowy was pretty creeped out by the fact that something had been sneaking up on her. I decided to check the book. In the Mobs section, there were four monsters. The zombie and skeleton, the enderman, and… the creeper. The fuzzy green beast sneaks up on you soundlessly from behind, and blows you to bits. It's a good thing that I caught it before it got to Snowy. But why haven't I ever seen one before? Then the last sentence catches my eye. Has been extinct for 20 years. Well that doesn't make any sense. We just saw one with our own eyes! This could be bad news, if there are more of them. We should probably go warn the others, if they haven't already encountered one themselves. I grabbed Snowy and Porkchop, and we ran towards the exit to the cave. Herobrine waits outside, a grim look on his face. I looked at what was in his arms, and saw why. He held a limp looking Paige, scratches and bruises all over her body. My eyes went wide. I ran over to them. "What happened?!"
"We were mining, and having pretty good luck. We found a total of 50 diamonds." Holy Crap. "We were just getting ready to head back up when a bunch Creepers ambushed us and Paige got caught in one of the blasts. She was thrown into the air, and she slammed against the wall with a great amount of force. I don't really know what to do. I don't have any golden apples, and I'm pretty sure her ribs are broken." Wait, golden apples. We had found some gold down in the cave.
"Does anyone have an apple?!" Snowy tossed one to me and I quickly grabbed a piece of gold ore. I placed it down, and grabbed a large chunk of it sticking out of the stone. I closed my eyes, and concentrated with all of my will.
"What are you doing? You would need to smelt that, and I don't think that Paige has that long." Herobrine sighed as he watched me, surely thinking of how stupid I'm being. But one purple flash later, and I held a large chunk of gold in my hand, with everyone looking completely surprised. I threw together a golden apple on the crafting bench, and threw it to Herobrine. He fed it to her, cutting off small pieces and placing them into her mouth. After about a minute or so, she started to move. A sigh of relief was heard among all of us. I was glad that I had thought so quickly, because another minute or so and she most likely would have died. She started to speak.
"Wh-wh-wh-a-a… What happened? All I remember are explosions…" Herobrine placed her down and brought her up to speed on what had happened since she'd been knocked out. She nodded weakly, still partially healing from the damage she took. While he did this, I counted up our diamond total, and he wasn't lying. We had a total of 70 diamonds. How the HELL did he find this many of them. It seems impossible, yet I hold the captivating blue gems in my hands. I'll have to ask him how he did it later, because right now, we have other things to deal with. Like Creepers.
Review! Please! Still need feedback from all you good people! o3o
Leo: Aren't you kind of begging?
Me: No, they wont even think to review otherwise. Everyone has a two second attention span nowadays.
*Looks Guilty*
Me: Including me...
