I woke up to Cupa slapping me awake. "WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" Cupa kept yelling. "I'm OW! awake! OW! stop OW! slapping OW! me! OW!" I yelled. Cupa stopped and said, "Sorry,"

Cupa then told me that during the night, a spider came by. Before she could finish talking, I yelled, "S-S-S-SPIDER?!" I then hid behind the bed.

I was terrified of spiders, ever since I found out about black widows. To me, all spiders are the same, so I usually think all spiders are poisonous. They weren't as scary as they were when I played the game, but now I'm in the game, and the spiders are huge compared to regular spiders. Cupa was able to calm me down by saying she killed it.

"Good," I said. "Spiders scare me a lot," I explained. Cupa just laughed. "The spider I saw didn't look very scary to me," she said. "Don't worry, Ben. If you ever have to deal with something you're afraid of, I won't hesitate to help you through it. You are my friend after all," she continued.

That sounded like something I might say to my friends, but I never kept that promise to them. Whenever my friends are in trouble or in a tight spot, I get too scared to help them and chicken out. Whenever my friends go to me for help, but I want to do something else, I just lie and say that I'm busy. Every time, I just feel bad.

I tried to change the subject, "Speaking of spiders, we really need some string. Do you know where we can find any spiders or cobwebs?" I asked Cupa. "Why do we need string?" she asked. "To make a bow. And also to make a fishing rod. Making both of those will really help us get food," I explained. Cupa said that there was this one place, but I wasn't gonna like it.

Well, Cupa was right. I didn't like it. Cupa led me to a mineshaft. When I asked her if we could find any spiders somewhere, I meant regular spiders! Not poisonous and dangerous cave spiders! 'Come on, Ben. Just get over it! It's just a mineshaft! Just get some cobwebs, then dash out!' I told myself. It didn't really work. I started running away, but Cupa grabbed me. "You want some string or not?" Cupa asked. I nodded. "Then we're gonna have to go down into that mineshaft, whether you like it or not," she said. I gulped, then said, "Fine. Let's go," I said. I tried to hide every possible way that could show I was nervous. I didn't do well at hiding my nervousness.

Suddenly, I heard a hiss. A SPIDER HISS. Just like as always, I chickened out. I quickly mined into the wall, then put up a torch and blocked off the outside.

This is Cupa talking now. Since Ben got scared and hid in the wall, I have to talk about what happened while he was hiding.

After Ben hid in the wall, I heard footsteps coming our way. Soon, I saw a little girl coming our way. I recognized the girl. It was Mindy's little sister, Cindy.

Cindy was about 5 or 6 years old. She had purple hair and red eyes, like her sister. She also wore a dark teal jacket and dark teal jeans. She also had black shoes. Since she isn't obsessed with scaring people, she's not as annoying as her sister, but she's VERY stubborn.

Ben made a good decision to hide in the walls. I didn't make a good decision to just stand there and wait for Cindy to go away. "What are you doing here, Cupa?" Cindy asked. Cindy was always suspicious of me. In fact, she was suspicious of everybody. She pretty much only cared for her sister. Everyone else, she pretty much hated. I couldn't think of an answer. Why WOULD a creeper be down in a mineshaft?

'…I guess I'll just have to tell her the truth. After all, she's the only mob besides me that trusts humans, unlike her sister…' I thought. She decided to trust humans after one had saved her from something apparently. I don't know what happened, so I'll have her write a kind of bonus section in this story telling about it.

After I told her, she was surprised. I guess I would be too if I were her. She said that she would tell the other cave spiders to leave Ben alone and that this would be just our secret. I hoped that would stay true.

Before Cindy left, she gave us some string. I thanked her, then told Ben that I killed the spider and it disappeared. Ben mined his way out and saw that I got the string. His face turned as red as redstone when he saw how I got a ton of string in such a short time. He was probably just embarrassed since I was brave and he was scared as nether. All people that I've met and become friends with get embarrassed like that when I act braver.

Ok. This is Ben again. So, when we got out of the mineshaft, I was still blushing a bit. I was so embarrassed. Me, the one with more weapons, chickened out and hid while her, the one without any weapons at all, got a ton of string in 20 minutes. When we reached the house, the sun was setting. Since Cupa was guarding the house last time, I guarded the house this time. I went outside with my new bow, quiver, and arrows.

There's chapter 5! See you all in chapter 6!
