'~ CHAPTER 4 ~'

Sky's POV

A few moments later, the two girls came back with the requested food, and they handed out accordingly.

"Thanks girls," I say before taking a bite of my steak.

"Yeah, thanks!" TrueMU thanks next.

"AH! Vile creature!" Fluffy yells, dropping the one cooked fish on the ground, as BajanCanadian laughs his head off.

"What? A bacca like you can't take cooked fish?" Benja teases him, eating one of his raw fish, "Pathetic."

"Uh, no!" was Jerome's response.

"Catalin, I'm sorry about…them and the inconvenience," I sigh, standing up and facing them, "But I really want to thank you for you and the others' hospitality."

"It was no trouble at all," Catalin responds, her eyes turning to an orange and yellow mixture, "I just didn't know there were more of…us."

"What do you mean by that?" Jerome curiously asks before I could, thankfully, after swallowing his food.

"Well, we were also forced into this dimension or world, whichever you want to call it," DJ starts.

"All of us, sucked from a portal. I, one day, happened to come here through an originally built Nether portal to gather some Netherrack, but I knew something was wrong when there was red, instead of purple, sparkles coming out of the portal," Avernus finishes, the other three girls nodding agreement.

"Huh? We five came from a built Aether portal," Benja speaks up, "I guess we aren't alone."

"How long have you guys been here?" Deadlox asks.

"Longer than we wanted to stay," Twister sadly sighs, "We are trying to find a way back, but so far we haven't gotten anywhere close to figuring out what had happened at least as far as I know."

"But we can't be dwelling much on that now," Catalin walks over to the stairs, "We need to get you guys a place to stay."

"Can't we stay here?" I ask, as the others stand up as well.

"Well, two of you can in our spare room, but I'm afraid if we're going to make this work then we need to separate you guys," Aver nervously replies, "If you guys don't want to, then…I'm not sure what we're going to do." We five glance at each other mentally deciding what we should do. I am, to tell you the truth, am comfortable around these people. But we just met them, and I didn't trust them just yet.

"I'm sure we can do that," TrueMU breaks the silence, "I'll be fine by myself, if you four want to pair up then."

"Ok, then so…maybe Deadlox and I can stay here?" I ask Jerome and Bajan.

"But Catalin, are you staying here?" Jerome asks, shocking me and Catalin.

"Oh no, I'm not," she chuckles, "There are three other…buildings or stations, I guess you can say, that are around here. I live on the one in the north, as we are right now in the east side."

"I guess then we'll go with you," Benja agrees, "Are you sure you're ok with this, Sky?"

"Go on ahead, we'll be fine," I wave off and he nods back in response.

"Well, let's get going then," Catalin casually says, wielding an iron sword out of nowhere.

"Wait, we're going out now…at night?" Jerome questions, "Shouldn't we wait till I don't know the morning?"

"No, it's best to go at night really," Catalin calmly replies to Jerome, who has his eye brows raised to the max.

"Well, guess that's another difference," Deadlox flattened his lips.

"Don't…mobs attack you at night?" MinecraftUniverse questions, still puzzled by this.

"Why don't you see for yourself? I promise you won't be hurt," Hope rushes out, tossing an iron sword to him, as he fumbles a bit with it before official catching it.

"O-ok?" was MinecraftUniverse's shaky reply.

"Come on out when you're ready," Catalin instructs, opening the door to meet a skeleton!

"Oh, hey skelly," she cheerily greets before closing the door behind her, leaving us confused beyond belief.

"Catalin!" Jerome yells after a solid five seconds, running out the door.

JeromeASF's POV

I stopped at the entrance, feeling the breeze coming from TrueMU and Benja behind me, as they sprint out also. I swipe out my bow that I grabbed before dashing pass from the wall inside and aimed it at the skeleton. I fired at the mob, but in defense it smacked the arrow in mid-air with his bone-built arm and aimed his bow at me.

"Don't shoot him," she slapped the skeleton's arms, making the mob's arrow hit the ground, "Think before doing, please. Wait, you don't have a brain my bad," she sarcastically says, making the skeleton's head bend downward in shame.

"Whoa, how did you do that?" Benja steals the words from my lips.

"Nothing special," she shrugs, "Mobs are friendly to us in this dimension."

"You're kidding?" MinecraftUniverse…stupidly asks.

"Nope," she replies popping the 'p', "Come on guys. It's not that long of a journey." She yells already walking off. We three looked at each other then caught up with Catalin. Soon enough, we encountered a few zombies and two spiders along the way, just walking past us and Catalin. I could tell TrueMU was frightened by this, by how each time a mob strolled near us he'd jump shakily holding out his iron sword...in a not so threatening way.

"Man up will you, TrueMU?" Bajan whacked the back of MinecraftUniverse's helmet, making him flinch.

"Geez, sorry," TrueMU replies, "I'm still not used to this…lifestyle. Are you too not used to this yet, BajanCanadian?"

"Hey Catalin," I tuned out my two chatting friends, "Look, there's another Minecraftian. Hey there!" Her head snaps the same direction I was looking worried. I looked back at the person within the shadow came out, showing glowing red eyes. 'Oh…'

"Jerome, get back!" she yells at me, running back to me. But before she reached me, someone else beat her to it. An arrow flew from behind an oak tree, striking the person in the chest, and she fell backwards. We four looked behind us, a male Minecrafter coming out, apparently relieving Catalin.

"Darx…thank Notch it's you," she breathed out, taking her time as she walked the rest of the way towards us.

"Why am I not surprised to see you out here when you should be back at the house?" he crossed his arms, giving 'the look' at Catalin his hood slung over his head.

"Calm down, Darx," she chuckles, "I had to show these visitors a place to stay. Two more are back at Twister's place with Hope, Aver and DJ, but sadly we only had two rooms available there."

"Darx, this is Jerome, TrueMU and Bajan; and guys this is Darx, he's from the north station here," Catalin introduces. He had jet black hair that rested on his forehead that diagonally went down to his ears, covering one of his gray eyes. He wore a gray shirt matching his eyes and over it was a black and green, checkered pattern hoodie, much like BajanCanadian's jacket; black jeans and sneakers and watch on his left wrist.

"Nice to meet you," I greet first outstretching my hand, "Might I say that was one incredible shot."

"Thanks," his low, intimidating voice says back, shaking my hand, "With practice you can too." He says, walking over to the now dead person and retracted his surprisingly, still intact, arrow back.

"So, what the heck was that? You just…killed a person," Bajan knits his eye brows together suspiciously at this Darx guy.

"Once you've been here enough, you'll come to learn that some people aren't what they seem," he simply replies, "You won't believe what this dimension has in store. As many have tried to figure out, they died trying."

"Ok, Darx," Catalin gets Darx's attention, "Let's not scare the guests too much ok? We were actually heading back to the north section, do you mind showing us the way?"

"Of course, Catalin," he nods briefly, "Follow me."

DJ's POV

"Well, that was interesting," SkyDoesMinecraft laughs off, "I guess there's more to this place than I thought."

"Yeah," Twister replies, "You get used to it."

"So, do you guys have at least an idea on how to get back?" Deadlox questions, "Like through another portal with some else put in or…"

"Yeah, that obviously seems to be the main reason why we were transported here," Aver says back, facing Deadlox, "But we have just a few guesses as to what could have gone wrong. We all know that we either used a flint n' steel or water, so we're just trying out different stuff with the two."

While listening to the conversation, my head started hurting, and it wasn't like any headache but something more. 'No, not again…'

"Hey guys," I speak up, "It was nice meeting you, but I'm gonna head off to bed. Have a good night!" I waved once more, as the five downstairs returned their 'good nights'. I refrained myself from groaning in pain, as I went as quickly as I could up to my room without making it look suspicious. They can't know about this now. They just can't. I frantically glanced back and forth at three doors in front of me. Damn it, I forgot which one didn't have an outlet.

Deciding I can't think anymore I went to the far right door and it was a guest room. I threw whatever tool I could use to destroy anything out the door and barricaded the door with a few cobblestone blocks. I sat on the ground, my hands pressing on my forehead, thinking that it will force the pain away, but nothing. It stayed there, like it had been my whole life. Then it happened, my mind took over and my eyes shined a bright red color. I slowly stood up and looked around, until my eyes landed on the window…

A/N: The pieces are coming together perfectly... ANYWAY, to DJMidge, or to anyone who might have thought this, the Minecrafter that attempted to attack Jerome was not DJ (or you). It was just a random person taking a stroll...at the same time as the group was. Next time we'll meet a few more OCs at the north station, as the team of three will split again. See you in the next chapter!
