The heat burst in my face some much that I have to close my eyes for a few seconds before I open them again and see the image before me.
A world filled with red blocks and lava crawling with nightmares.
I could see these white, with a small amount of gray creatures floating around giving a screeching noise that sounded like a baby crying, ghast.
Zombie pigmen, no doubt. I read about them before. They have a resemblance to a pig, but they stand like men.
They're like wolfs too, if you hit one they all go after you, but other than that harmless.
I'm stunned for a moment before I could accept where I was.
I turn around to see the reaction on Blair's face.
Well there's something that I've haven't seen in a while.
Fear and shock was written all over it, but he still stood strong.
I knew he wasn't handling this well.
After all this is the place where the creatures that killed this mentor crawl.
He was looking at me trying to see how I react.
"We, um need to build the, shelter." I say.
He shakes his head slightly and nods.
"Do you have any cobblestone?"
"Some, probably enough."
"Good."
As soon as I said that, fire Strikes besides me.
I look up and I see a ghast has us in it's sight.
Grasping the bow from my back I take aim and shoot.
The arrow hits the ghast on the right side of its temple and yelps.
I take another arrow out and draw back and fire.
It misses and the ghast fires again.
This time the fire hits the side of my leg, I get down on one knee and try to stop the burning.
Blair takes out an arrow and fires.
It hits the ghast in the eye.
The ghast released one last cry and fell with a large crash into the lake of lava.
I look at the damage on my leg.
Not bad, only one layer of the skin, It ripped my jeans though.
I rip off the bottom half of my jeans, up to my knees, and press it against my burning leg.
I couldn't believe how fast I got injured here.
"Armor, you forgot the armor." I think to myself.
I smack the front of head.
Did I really think that we would survive with out it?
I here my name getting called but I ignore it.
Till Blair puts his hand on my shoulder and says;
"Britt, The portals out!"
In shock I turn my head to see the portal.
He was right, now it was just a frame.
"It's probably for the best," I sigh "the mobs can't get though it now."
He looks at the portal then back to me and notices my leg.
"Do you need to go back?" he asked
"No, I'm fine." I replied.
I stand up again and can feel the pain shooting up my leg.
I had to bite my lip to stop myself from screaming.
It was worst than I though.
Sitting back down I say, "We should just walk for awhile, till we find the nether fortress."
"You can't walk!" he replies
"I said that we're going!" I raise my voice.
Another flash of pain hits my leg and I grind my teeth to not cry.
I huff, "I'll be fine, it only hurts at times."
Blair has a doubtful look on his face. He sighs and looks away.
"Nether fortresses are pretty big, and this place is really small," I start "It won't take long. When we get there we'll build a shelter there and rest."
He helps me up, and we start to walk.
At times I would fall and he would say my name uncertainly when I'm getting up.
I would just say,"I'm okay! I can do this."
We didn't face much danger after that, only a few magma cubes, and almost another ghast fired at us. I knew it saw us walking, but it didn't fire to react in anyway. Just luck I guess.
I don't know how long we walked till Blair saw the first glimpse of nether brick, maybe about an hour, and half. It took us another hour to see a opening to it.
It was too tall to get to, and with my leg there was no way we could pile up with netherrack.
Besides, we've been walking for a while now, it was a good time to build shelter.
Blair made the walls and the ceiling, the least I could do was just sit and watch.
I felt helpless all over again, but mostly just bored. I sigh and notice my leg again. I checked on it and it was worst than before.
It was red and swollen now. I look at it with such dismay, Blair was right, we should of just stayed where we were before. I put the cloth on it again.
I look up at Blair working and the shelter looks like it's done.
Not very big, about two by three for the walls. It was only two blocks tall and half slabs for the roof.
He waves at me to come over and I get up and start walking towards him, stumbling a few times on the way.
"It's not much but it will get us though." he says
I just look at it and nod.
I walk into the shelter and sit down inside.
He sits outside, guarding, I guess for a while till he comes inside.
It's suppose to be night in our realm so I was almost falling asleep when he came inside. He didn't say much , other than offer me some food.
Till something unexpected happen.
"Are you tried?" he asked
I look up at him and nod.
"You can rest your head on my shoulder, if your okay with that."
I open my eyes a little more and see he's looking the opposite direction, and rubbing the back of his head.
I can see easily he's blushing a little. I have never seen him like this, it was, new.
I just smile and rest my head on his shoulder, like he asked.
I can see, before closing my eyes, that he looks surprised, and then relived.
He starts to stroke my hair with his hand. I was to tired to do anything so I just accepted it.
I fell asleep soon after that.
When I woke up I looked up and saw that he fell asleep also.
He was laying his head on top of mine.
His long ginger hair, was falling into my eyes.
Think to myself just how much I would like to say to him.
To say that I...
I laugh at my though in my head, but then I see him again and realize that I really mean it.
I have never have felt so safe with someone.
Every time I see him, I feel it.
Then it hits me, "You might not see him again after this." I think to myself.
If I need to say something, it has to be soon.
