Can't Get Out

Chapter #9 - Here Is Where We Stand (Minecraft Part 1)

       We get sucked into a different game. Yes, it is Minecraft. I hold my arm and my shoulder and wince. Will runs over to me and gives me medicine. "Yo, Maytrix... What happened back there?"

       "She... She was a game piece, Will." I stand up and wince.

       "What?" He asks me. "How... You mean..."

       "Sally and Eyeless Jack. They were players. They tried to kill us because that was there way home.... The death of the careers. Well... The death of me anyway. I told her to do it and she just.... Her name, her name was Terra."

       "Shhh... It'll be okay."

       "Because of me people are dead. And I accept that. That does NOT mean I want that to happen."

       Will nods.

       Everyone seems okay. A few nicks and scrapes here and there, but... We're okay. I look at my hand. "GUYS?" I say. Theres a pixel heart on my hand. With the number 12 in it.

       Same with Will. And everyone else.

       "YOU WILL ALL START OUT AT 12 HEARTS. THE NUMBERS ON YOUR HAND WILL CORRESPOND WITH THE AMOUNT OF HEARTS YOU HAVE LEFT. BE CAREFUL AROUND THE DANGERS FOR... YOUR HEARTS... WILL NOT RE-GEN. MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR. AND THE DEAL STILL STANDS... NO DANGERS FOR THE FIRST 24. WELL DONE AMELIA." 

       "OH SHUT UP!" I shout at the sky.

       Jordan looks over at me. "We should take the time to build a house with our 24 hours." He says. "That way we don't have to do it while we're being attacked."

       I nod.

       I look around. "Okay. How about half of us get the supplies, half of us stay and build?" I say.

       They automatically split in 2 leaving me with Chilled, Jordan, Anthony, Felix, Ken, Cry, Toby, Adam, and Minx. The others go off in search of materials. In about 10 minutes Mark gives Jordan and I 40 wooden blocks each. Jordan shows me what to do. We automatically get a crafting table a furnice and a chest, and all of the tools needed, in iron form. We each grab a pick ax and start building a house. I sigh. I build the floor with the wooden cubes and Jordan helps me. Chilled uses his pick ax to hallow out one block deep into the floor so we make a wooden floor. Will comes back and hands me about 40 stone blocks. I make the walls out of stone. I finish one and a half walls with the stone Will gives me. Spoon and Sark come back with wool and I let Anthony and Adam finish the walls while I craft the beds with whatever wood I have left and the wool. I turn. Jordan and Adam crafted the glass and are now putting them up as windows. It's pretty cool since they made it a three story house. I made the stairs and Jordan, Felix and Adam finish up the floors. Jordan puts up more windows on the second and third story and I move the beds up to the third story. All 24... Will hands me more wool, and I still have left over planks to make more, but I save it for later. I smile. I look up at the roof that Minx is building. It looks pretty good. Felix builds a door and attatches it to the wall. It only takes us about 4 hours to finish it. We get everyone rounded up and we take about 5 minutes to stare at our hard work. Will puts his arm around my shoulder and smiles. 

        "You gotta admit. Even though we're stuck in a life or death situation... It's still beautiful."  Will says. 

        "Yeah... It is." I push open the door and smile. It looks pretty nice. I lay my backpack by the door and go through it. All 8 pages from Slenderman. The 11 sonic screwdriver from doctor who. The hard drive from divergent. And the mocking jay pin from hunger games. I sigh. "What do we have to find in minecraft?" I ask.
