A/N: Thanks for the reviews, follows, and favorites! It makes me happy that people are reading and liking this story. :)

My head is like a vortex right now, sucking in everything that has happened in the past and what could happen in the future. Heck, I'm only nine years old! I don't deserve to suffe this...or do I? How should I know anyway?!

I run as fast as I can, as far as I can go away from the nightmare that had once consumed me. I don't even care where I'm going, I just want nothing more than to get away from there! I keep having to dodge loose branches from Oak Trees and tall blades of grass. I am constantly hitting painful branches, but the pain is at the least of my worries now.

Soon, thankfully, I reach a clearing. I take a quick breath when I see the sun disappear from sight. Darkness consumes me, but not like what it was in The Lab. My mouth gapes open when I see stars, bright beautiful orbs in the sky, for the first time. A full moon comes up after the sun, and I get to experience it for the first time. I forgot about everything for a second and admired the sky.

Then an arrow wizzed past my head. Reflexively, I look to the side and see meanencing-looking skeleton, with a bow I might add. I'm forced back into reality and another arrow just misses my arm. I yell and stumble backwards. I try to run away once more. Arrows fly past me for a long time, and I'm starting to wonder if the skeleton is any harm at all. I foolishly turn back around, and my question is answered. An arrow in the shoulder.

I really start to sprint now. My health has only regenarated a bit since the explosion of The Lab, and I was still in danger. I dashed outside of the clearing, back into more forest. Now it was like a level two, having to dodge things AND arrows at the same time. More arrows missed and hit me, and I was even closer to death.

I had no weapon to defend myself with, and like I even knew how to use one anyway. My breaths quicken again, and my eyes widen. Now I realize how the outside world was just about at horrid as The Lab. I cringe as another arrow flies past me. One more hit, and I'm gone for good.

But in a flash, I spot colors of blue. I tense up even more. That gives me my mark of doom, and I fall to the ground. From that moment, I now know that it's the end. I turn around to see my last image, but the skeleton is nowhere in sight.

Confused, I stand up. It was just right behind me, where could have it gone? I peer around some trees just to make sure it's not hiding. But I see a person jogging up to me, holding a diamond sword. Wait, no, a villager cloaked in green. I blink a few times in case I'm just imagining things. But he places a blocky hand on my wounded shoulder, and I know that it's real.

"Are you okay, stranger?" The villager asks. In shock, I shake my head. I try to speak, but I can't say anything. The villager smirks slightly. "Don't be so startled, do you think I was going to let a young one like you die?" I don't do anything. The villager holds out his other hand to mine. "Come, I'll take you to my village, where you will be safe. You may tell your story later." I wanted nothing more than to be safe, so I agreed by following him.

We walked for a while west, in the direction that the sun set. We reach a plains biome, and I spot loads of lit-up houses in the distance. I break the silence. "That's where you're taking me, right?" I said in a whisper. I villager nods. "Yes, and there you will find many nice people." We quickened our pace towards the village, and I thought that I might actually be safe for once there.

When we arrive, I spot no one outside. "Where is everyone?" "Oh, just getting ready for bed in their own houses." The villager responded. He walked up to a large one and opened the door. "This is my place. You can stay the night before we decide what your fate shall be." Those lines give me an odd feeling, but then I remember his other weird ways of saying certain things.

The villager takes out a bed out of a chest and places it near a window. The house consists of bookshelves, a kitchen, chests, a table, and or course the owner's bed. I immediately climb into the bed set out for me. I almost gasp at the comfiness of it. The beds at the lab were made of stone and made my neck sore and my body cold. "Thank you..." I say to the villager. He nods in return.

He climbs into his bed across the room. "In the morning, I will introduce you to the other humans in this village. They should be around your age, judging the way you look. Good night now." He says quickly. He said it very quickly, so I could just make out what he was saying. The villager flips off a lever that turns off the redstone lamps. He goes right to sleep.

Being used the darkness, I'm not too suprised. I lay down and cover myself with the blankets to keep me warm. Never have I been given such luxery, and I wanted to take it all in quickly. Half of me is excited to meet some other people, and the other half is frightened. What if they don't like my past? What if they think I'm dangerous? Obviously the tests didn't work, so they woud have nothing to fear of me, right?

I shiver when I think of these thoughts. All I want now is to start over, and that souldn't be too hard. I will start by making friends of these people, if they are nice. Then, I could live in my own house here and learn to fight and do work and such. That would be cool. Then I would never be able to speak of my past ever, and I would live the life of a normal Minecraftian. I smile as I think of these thoughts. Then I close my eyes and sleep.
