Stuck In A Hole

Steve paced back and forth in the small hole. I never should have gone mining. He thought, glaring at the wall. I should have listened to Alex, and gone in for the night. Now I'm stuck in this stupid hole, and Alex is probably at camp, eating pork chops. His stomach grumbled. Without me. She probably doesn't even know I'm gone.

He glanced up, and dug another hole in the roof, saw it was still night, and quickly covered it again. He placed a torch, and watched its pale orange light bathe the hole. This stupid. I'm stupid. That zombie is stupid. Wait, zombie?! He pulled out his sword, and faced the green monster.

"YARRRRGGGHHH!" He screamed, charging.

"Burrr...?" The zombie groaned, turning to face him. "BUURURRR!" It shouted, shambling towards Steve. Steve jumped, and drove his iron sword through its head.

With the zombie laying dead at his feet, he looked around the cave. It had an opening in its left side, which led into Steve's makeshift shelter. And pouring out of the hole was an army of mobs. Steve gripped his sword. It was going to be a long night.

Alex liked pork chops. But she liked pork chops better when Steve was eating them with her. I wonder where he is? She mused, biting into the meat. He's usually back by dinner. Maybe I'll go look for him. She stood up, and began marching towards the mining cave.

Then she doubled back and grabbed her sword.

No use not going in prepared. She thought, grinning as she looked at her trusty blade.

She began running, killing a few zombies before Alex finally reached the cave. "Hello?" She called out, peering inside. "Steve?"

She stepped forward... And fell into darkness.

"ARRGGGGHHHHHH!" Steve looked up... Just in time to see Alex fall on top of him.

"ALEX?!" He shouted, scrambling out from under her.

"Ow... Everything hurts..." Alex muttered, rubbing her head. "Hi Steve!"

"We will chitchat later, right now we gotta beat some mob but." Steve said, helping Alex up.

"Got it, solider!" Alex saluted him, before Charing into battle. Steve shook his head fondly, before attacking the mobs with Alex.

"It has been hours. Steve, check the light?" Alex said, smacking a spider away with her sword.

"Got it." Steve said, breaking the dirt block above them. Sunlight poured in. Alex grinned at Steve, watching the zombies unfortunate enough to be standing beneath the hole burn.

"You go ahead!" She shouted, stabbing the remaining zombies. "I'll catch up."

"Alex-!" Steve started protesting, bit Alex pushed him towards the hole.

"I promise." She said, smiling at Steve.

"Ok..." Steve placed dirt blocks underneath him, building a tower to the roof. As she was closed in, Alex heard Steve shouting to her; "I'LL COME GET YOU! I PROMISE!"

It had been three weeks since Steve had last seen Alex.

Knowing her, she had fought to the death, and forgot to place her bed. It had happened before, when they had first set out from Player Village.

That was when they had only traveled a days journey. Now they had been traveling for two months.

Steve hated it, but he knew he probably never would see Alex again. And before I told her how I feel...

"Steve...?"

Steve stood up, clutching his sword.

"STEVE...!?"

"ALEX!?" He rushed towards her, wrapping her in a hug. She crumpled in his grasp, unconscious.

"It's good to see you," he murmured, placing her in her bed. "We have a lot to talk about."
