Making more slurping noises, the spider attacked. It came fast towards Laura and hit her. With a striking noise she leaped backwards and lost three hearts. Then she remembered the diamond sword she had and hit the spider several times before it could attack again. The spider flickered red as it got hit and collapsed to the ground and vanished.

Laura2theLetter: Did I kill it? Is it dead?

VampireSlayer: Yeah, you did

Laura smiled to herself. She was witlessly proud of her first kill in Minecraft.

"LaF! I killed a spider", she said to Lafontaine who was now sitting by Laura's table.

"Danny didn't kill it for you?" LaFontaine said without taking their eyes of their screen. Laura noticed they were in the forest with Perry fighting exploding cactuses. When Laura thought about Danny not doing anything about the spider she reasoned Danny could have killed it way easier and faster than she did but had decided to give her an opportunity to do it herself. Laura was thankful about that because it had been awesome to kill a spider.

Laura turned back to her game but got distracted by LaFontaine.

"Oh crap, is it that late already", LaFontaine exclaimed and got up off their chair. "Sorry Laura, I've got to leave. I have some school things I need to work on. But I'll probably see you tomorrow."

"Okay. Thanks for teaching me how to play Minecraft. You were right, it's way better than it looks", Laura said as LaFontaine was exiting.

"No problem", they said and left, without closing the door. Laura didn't bother to get up and close it so she left it open like it very often was. Then she turned back to the game.

VampireSlayer: Laura, you coming?

Danny was in the stairs going back up and waiting for Laura. Laura followed her and quickly typed:

Laura2theLetter: I'm coming, sorry

She followed Danny through stairs and tunnels and the farther they went, the more confused she got. She was pretty sure the tunnel had had side tunnels when they had walked down, but now it didn't have any.

Laura2theLetter: We aren't lost are we?

VampireSlayer: Of course not, you're with me. But the castle does change by itself every once in a while so it's harder for us to go back to exact same place where we left, which we wouldn't do anyway so it's okay.

Laura2theLetter: The castle changes by itself?

VampireSlayer: It works with redstone

Laura2theLetter: What now?

VampireSlayer: Redstone is an object that can control all kinds of mechanisms in Minecraft. Kirsch is pretty talented with it. He made the walls move on their own. The whole castle is full of secret passageways and everything else that works with redstone.

Laura2theLetter: I can see why you didn't want me to wander off on my own

The tunnel ended and they came out to a big room that had a lot of doors. There was simply nothing but doors. Every four walls had six doors and on top of them there were also six doors.

Laura2theLetter: Do they all lead to different places?

VampireSlayer: Yap. I'm pretty proud of this

Laura2theLetter: How on earth do you find your way out of here?

VampireSlayer: When you walk long enough you very likely reach the top at some point. Don't worry it's pretty easy actually to find your way in here. At least when you were building it.

VampireSlayer: Come on, let's go this way

Danny picked presumably a random door and they found themselves in another tunnel that was lit by torches and seemed to go on forever. Danny led the way and they walked –or actually ran- along the tunnel until the walls started moving. Danny got past the moving walls without even noticing anything but after Danny they moved so quickly to block the tunnel that Laura didn't get to the other side.

Laura2theLetter: Um, Danny…

Then the floor disappeared and Laura saw how she fell down until the floor went back again and everything went dark.

VampireSlayer: Sorry Laura. I told you, the walls move on their own

VampireSlayer: Wait, you're not in the other side. Where are you?

Laura2theLetter: I fell

VampireSlayer: What?

Laura2theLetter: The floor disappeared and I can't see anything anymore. I'm still falling. How long time can I possibly fall.

Laura still hadn't reached the bottom of the pit and even thought she didn't know how much it went down she started to feel like it had been too long already since she was falling down extremely fast.

VampireSlayer: I think you should be at the bottom already. Maybe you fell into a spider web.

Suddenly Laura saw weird lights switching on. She was in a small room that had one tunnel out of it. She hadn't known she had stopped falling. The pit that she had been falling down had got blocked. The room that she had fallen wasn't very high and in the middle of it there was something that looked like a pool, but the water was black and had weird blue and grey dots in it, and the edges were green and looked like eyes.

Laura2theLetter: I don't know. But now I'm in a small room –or a cave- that has a weird pool in here

VampireSlayer: Is there lava under the pool?

Laura2theLetter: I think so

VampireSlayer: Shit. I know where you are. Do NOT go into the pool. It's a portal to somewhere you don't want to go to. Wait there, I'm coming to get you.

Laura stood still and waited for Danny to get to her. Then she heard distant growling that was getting closer. A green zombie-like person came from the tunnel on the other side of the room.

Laura2theLetter: I think there's a zombie in here

VampireSlayer: Kill it! You can do it

The zombie approached her across the room with its hands ahead of it reaching out for her. Laura took out her diamond sword and prepared for a battle. The zombie tried to cross the portal but it fell into it and disappeared. Laura was confused for a while before she realized that the zombie had accidently used the portal and transported to the place Danny had mentioned.

Laura moved herself to the other side of the room where the tunnel started all the way attached to the wall so she wouldn't end up like the zombie.

VampireSlayer: Did you kill it?

Laura2theLetter: It fell into the portal

VampireSlayer: Okay good. I'm nearly there

Laura stood in front of the tunnel, looked at the darkness and heard noises again. First she thought it was only Danny but then the voices got clearer. It sounded like... bones being scrubbed together. Then she saw a skeleton with a bow in its hands walking towards her.

Laura took her sword out again. Then everything happened really fast. Laura saw Danny appearing from the tunnel right as the skeleton shot an arrow at her and she leaped a bit back, losing three hearts and fell into the portal. The last thing she saw was Danny killing the skeleton. Then everything went to black for a while and next thing she knew, she was in a weird place where the sky was dark purple and there was a sand colored island floating in the middle of nowhere.
