2: Finding Answers

I sat up quickly looking out the window and seeing the sun high in the sky. It felt like a second long nap and it was already morning. "I can't stay here any longer" I said getting up and grabbing the axe. I put the apples, iron, and wheat in the backpack I didn't know I had. I walked outside and walked far away from the village. After a while I stopped at a lake and sat there. "This is so tiring having to walk everywhere" I said eating one of the apples. I sat there for a little longer until I heard screaming. "I usually wouldn't care but that sounds like a person" I said getting up and hopping across the lake. I ran up the mountain climbing more and more. The screaming got louder as I made it closer to the top. "EASY! EASY! EASYYYY!" a guy screamed slicing a sword through a creeper's head. I flopped on the floor breathing heavily just watching him. He had a half broken shield with an iron chestplate and helmet. His sword was made of stone though. He wiped his face then turned to me. My eyes widened and I stood up ready to swing my axe if anything. "Who are you??" the guy asked pointing at me. "A person like you?" I said jokingly. "That can't be I've been here a while, haven't found any other people" he replied quickly. "Well I'm here" I said. "What's your tag?" he asked me. "My what?" I replied confused. "In your pocket, you should have a tag like I do" he said reaching into his pocket. He showed me his tag "My name is Nightmare". I reached into both pockets then pulled the tag out. I stared at it for a moment then read out loud "Mine is Summer". He nodded, "Hey wanna work together? I've learned a lot about this world and you seem new". "Oh yes please" I said relieved. "And you don't have to worry I'm not gonna stab you in the back" he said raising his sword up. He paused for a moment, "Literally-". I chuckled. "I found a ravine but I've been too scared to explore it alone" he said. "Too scared?" I asked smiling. "Shut up, there are cave spiders in there y'know" he said trying to act tough still. I just laughed, "Yeah sure we can explore it but I wanna rest first I already climbed up this mountain". "Yeah of course, my base is kind of far from here but with food we'll get there no time" he said handing me a stack of bread. "Thanks" I said eating one piece and putting the rest in my backpack. "Now let's go" he said walking ahead.
