A scream ripped through my throat as I woke, pain tearing through my body, tears immediately pouring down my face. I was laying face-down in a pool of blood, which I choked on, sending me into a coughing fit as I sobbed in pain. My head was pounding, explosions of agony hacking through my brain. My shoulder throbbed and I could feel something was stabbed through it, pinning me to the ground.

In my panic, I reached to pull whatever it was out, but my hands were tied together behind my back. My terror grew until I was having a full blown panic attack. My vision was blurry, and blood kept running into my eyes from a wound on the back of my head. I couldn't see where I was nor could I remember what happened. The last thing I remember is Beef and Jevin coming to Xisuma's house. 

Now I am laying in a puddle of my own blood, with the world's worst headache, a swollen jaw, my legs and arms tied up, and a mystery item stabbed through my shoulder, into the ground. 

What happened?

Sobs wracked my body from pain and panic, choking on tears and blood. My mind blanked as I tried to remember anything, terror clouding my thoughts. 

I heard feet walk slowly towards me, stopping once they reached my side. My head was faced away from them and it hurt too much to move it, so I had no idea who was there.

"Xizara?" A familiar British accent made it's way into my ears, which some might think would have calmed me, but it only added to my horror.

I was still in Hermitcraft...

I was tied up and pinned to the ground...

What did I do?

I reeled myself in, trying to calm myself as I closed my eyes and plunged into the code. It was difficult seeing as I was still blinded by terror, but I quickly found the right line of code. My heart sunk as I stared at it.

I turned permadeath on...

Before I let my hysteria completely control me, I hacked away at the broken code, fixing it in less than a minute. As soon as it was fixed, I opened my eyes.

What did I do?

Did I hurt anyone?

Did I kill anyone?

Horror completely engulfed me, making my vision go black as I cried out. 

Nononononono! I knew I shouldn't have stayed! I knew I shouldn't have gotten comfortable!

My sobs were cut off with a scream as someone grabbed ahold of the thing in my shoulder, yanking it out as fast as they could. 

"XIZARA!"

"NO! Xisuma! You're not healed yet!"

WHAT!

I hurt him...

My pain was forgotten as my heart clenched, a new type of agony taking over. 

Someone poured something into the hole in my shoulder. I hissed as it stung, but it quickly was replaced with a sigh of relief as the pain subsided and the wound stitched itself back together. Once it was healed, they poured some more on the back of my head, healing that wound.
