There has been some debate about the subject of my updates on this story, and I just want to put some rumors to rest. I am still updating this story. Just because it's not as often doesn't mean updates won't happen. Sure, other authors will stop writing, but as we all know I'm not like other authors. I've just had a lot on my plate recently.
After a little planning, our team decided to split in two so we could have some beds. We were all getting low on health and Ben really didn't support killing animals for food. I still had the wood planks from when I found out I was an enderman, so all we needed was wool. Ben and frank went with temperance to find some sheep while scree and I went mining for some iron. Ben didn't want to kill the animals, so we needed to make some shears.
Scree and I were in a cave with some pickaxes searching for iron. "So, Kate, I've been wondering about something for a while." Scree said while digging. "Oh? And what would that be?" I replied. "Do you think you'll ever be a player again?" scree asked. I was a little stunned; I hadn't really thought about it since the meet. "I'm not really sure." I said. Scree didn't reply. "Ender said I need to ask the ender dragon and we really don't have any way to get to the end." "Yeah, I guess we would need a portal for that." Scree said.
We went on digging for a while until I heard scree say "got some!" "Iron?" I asked. "Yeah, we can get the shears now." So we went back to the surface to get to the crafting table. I went in the base and made the shears. Now all we had to do was find ben, frank and temperance. Of course, it's pretty easy to find someone when they jump out of a tree at you. And that's exactly what temperance did. "Finally! I thought I'd never find you. You have the shears, right?" she asked. "Don't worry, we've got them." I replied. "Good, you won't believe what we found!" she said as she hopped back up into the trees.
Scree and I followed her from the ground until we caught sight of ben and frank. "Hey guys! Check this out!" he yelled. As we came closer, we saw what he was standing in front of. Someone had dug a pitfall trap and there were a bunch of sheep inside. (Note: a pitfall trap is a 2 block deep hole that animals fall into and can't escape from.) "Cool, this should be plenty of wool!" I said, jumping in. a few minutes of snipping and I had enough wool for four beds. I built up and hopped out. "Well, that should be enough." I said. The others all agreed and we headed back to the base.
By the time I placed the beds, I could tell through the leaves that it was night. "We may as well use them now." Temperance said. "Yeah, I'm almost out of health." Ben said. So everyone headed to bed. I laid in my bed for a while until I had full hearts. Once I was sure everyone else was asleep, I got up and went outside. I hadn't seen the sky for a while, so I built my way up on top of the trees. I could see all the way across the forest from up there. In the distance, I could see the light of someone's house. Even further away, I could see the desert where the meets took place. Wondering when the next one would take place, I looked up at the moon. "Waning crescent" I thought to myself. We had been learning about the moon before school ended for the summer.
"You couldn't sleep either?" a voice said from behind me. I turned around to see scree had followed me. "Oh, hey." I said, turning back to the view of everything. He came up beside me. "What's on your mind?" he asked me. "Nothing, I'm just glad I'm not missing any school." I replied. "What's a school?" scree asked. "You mean you really don't… well, I guess you never went to one."
"No, I didn't. What is it?"
"It's a place where people go to learn things." I replied. "Is it fun?" scree asked. "Only when you get to drop eggs in parachutes off of a balcony." I replied. Scree giggled a little bit. "Why would you do that?" he asked. "I dunno," I replied, "I was in a strange science class. Everything was either about Tahoe's or blowing stuff up." "What's a Tahoe?" scree asked. "It's a kind of truck." I replied. "At least I already know what a truck is." Scree said. "How?" I asked. "I overhear players talking about stuff." He replied. "Oh, so that's why you knew what a kirlia is." I said with realization. We both laughed.
No one said anything for a while after that. We just silently looked at the view of the world until scree asked "Kate, do you miss being a player?" I thought for a moment. "Well, I guess-"I was cut off by a strange sound coming from the trees below. It sounded like a pig, but lower and more drawn-out. Scree and I both looked down through the trees and saw the moonlight glint off of several golden swords. "Oh crap cookies!" I thought. Scree entered my mind and thought/asked "were those zombie pigmen?" I nodded. "Yeah, and I'll bet you anything they're headed toward the base!"
P.S. thank you XEnderAwesomeX for giving Dragonblooded a tribute, she told me to thank you for her. ;)
