Hey there, my Endies! I just posted the first chapter in To The Nether (the first one was just the prologue), and I'm happy I finally got a chance to sit down and type. QUESTIONS!

PinkyPops12:

No questions today, just wanted to let you know that this is awesome.

Me: Thx! Awww… no questions… oh well.

Silverfang493:

I feel like squealing right now. I don't normally do that. Screw it, I'm squealing. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKK! All right that's my version of squealing on the internet. I love the story. It's amazing.

Me: thank you sooo much! I never expected people to like this little story I came up with!

Pinkittwice54:

this is awesome, but why would Emma take Ty seriously and kiss him (besides the fact that she likes him)?

Emma: *blushes* ummmmm… well, it's beause I like him (what other reason do I need?), but also because I might be starting to LIKE like him a lot, and I don't know if he feels the same way, so now I get to kiss him and there probably won't be that mush post-kiss awkwardness.

Me: Thx for the review! AND THE QUESTIONS! You get candy! Happy Halloween! (throws MnMs at your face) sorry, I couldn't help myself! XD

Emma's PoV

Ty pulled away first. I blushed a deep red, and he had this huge, sincere smile on his face, eyes focused solely on mine. We each looked away, and he broke the silence first. "So, umm… should we go in?" he pointed to the cave. I blushed deeper and nodded, too embarrassed to speak. And shy little Deadlox laughed his shy little laugh…

No One's PoV (Third Person)

And so, the girl who has just begun to like the boy, and the boy who has just begun to like the girl, walked into the cave. They would soon grow much closer. The boy has secrets, though… Dark Secrets…

(A/N: BOOM! The title of the story makes some sense!)

Emma's PoV

As we began to walk through the beginning of the cave, it grew darker. I took out my torches, and began to place them every 15 blocks or so. I spotted my first vein of coal, and hurried over to it. There were eight pieces in the vein, and it lead right into a huge vein of coal that yielded 27 chunks of coal. When I went back to Ty, he also had a few chunks of coal, maybe 11. We walked deeper into the dark cave, placing torches every fifteen blocks. About 2 and a half hours later, we reached lava level. We each had more than two stacks of unrefined iron ore, more than four stacks of cobblestone, and more than a stack of coal chunks. We had to be very careful, as we were now dancing around great lakes of lava. As I was glancing around, I saw the beautiful light blue shimmer of diamonds from the corner of my eye. I raced over to it. There were four ores visible in the ground. I carefully mined a ring around them to make sure they wouldn't fall in lava, then mined them. To my pleasant surprise, the vein that I had spotted yielded me 9 diamonds! When I got back, I saw Ty had none. I quickly placed one in his bag while he was mining some Lapis Lazuli (A/N: Blue Shit XD). We had been in the cave for hours, and my feet were dragging. My food supply was running low, and my last pickaxe was about to break. Ty was likely in similar shape. "So… umm. It's getting kinda late… maybe we should start going back up?" I asked him tentatively. He glanced up at me and nodded, looking extremely tired.

~Time Skip~

We were nearing the surface of the cave. The torches we placed at first were almost burnt out. I was replacing one, when I heard the dreaded, unmistakable hiss of a creeper right behind me. In that split second, I silently cursed myself. I had heard the footsteps behind me, but I had assumed they has belonged to Ty. Then I suddenly felt arms around my waist, and was tackled out of the way, just as the creeper blew up.

I sat up with a groan. Ty was laying on top of me, and I gently moved him aside. There was a huge crater where the green beast had blown up. Ty was unconscious, but he was breathing, if shallowly, and his heart was beating, if slowly. I dug around in my bag in a panic, looking for the very item I had just found: a Budder Apple. The enchanted kind, too. The thing was damned expensive to craft. I made it with budder I had mined myself. I quickly broke it into pieces and fed it to Ty in little bites. I sat back, looking for injuries I could treat, but finding none other than a nasty bump on his head, which I couldn't really do anything about. Suddenly, I heard moaning behind me. I glanced up to see several Zombies shuffling towards us. I shot up and grabbed my Diamond Sword out of its sheath. Crap, I thought. It only had a few hits left. I charged at the Zombies and began to swing at them. There were still five left when my sword broke. Glancing in my bag, I realized I didn't have a backup. I turned and began to run deeper into the cave, as the Zombies were blocking the entrance. Then I heard the sound of damage being taken… and the pained grunts of Zombies. I glanced over my shoulder, and what I saw made me stop in my tracks. Ty was up, and kicking Zombie ass with a worn Iron Sword. He was fighting fiercely, considering he had a major concussion. When the last Zombie was nothing but a few bits of Rotten Flesh, I ran over to him. He looked deep into my eyes. "Are you okay?" he asked me quietly, urgently. I nodded quickly, and we ran out of the cave holding hands, grabbing any forgotten items on the way out.

Ty's PoV

When we got out of the cave, I held Emma until I was sure she could stand on her own. We stared at each other for what felt like an eternity before I finally gathered the courage to push her into a birch tree and crash my lips against hers as hard as I could. At first, she was unresponsive, and I began to second guess my sudden actions. Then she loosened up, and began to move her lips with mine. She tasted of fear, faintly, but also of sunshine, and quiet happiness. I deepened the kiss, and she moaned way back in her throat. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I wrapped my arms around her waist. Eventually, I drew back, regretfully, because I knew we both needed air.
