In front of me lay Gen. He had been struck by a frying pan in the back of the head and lay unconscious on the floor. My eyes took note of the scene. There was a small note lying next to his head and I bent over to pick it up. It read: 

Hello Owner of Cococraft, My name is the Wither. I am here to destroy your server once and for all. You have 30 days to prepare for my wrath and then say goodbye to your precious server. 

I placed the note on the counter, my hands trembling. How had this happened the day after Herobrine came to destroy the server? My server wasn't hurting anyone, why did everyone want it so bad. I looked back at Gen, next to his face was the fish ring he always wore. It was smelted out of iron and it glistened from the sunlight. The lapis inside glowed perticularly bright and I started to wonder why Gen always wore it. I stood there clueless taking in all the information. My server would never be destroyed I promised myself. I picked up the frying pan and placed it int he sink. Then I began to take care of Gen. I leaned over and picked up his limp body. His brown hair was short and covered in dirt, as if he had been outside. I grabbed his arms and pulled him so we was standing up. I then slung him over my shoulder like a firefighter and brought him to the dining room table. I placed him down and began examining him like a docter. I tried to remember what I doctor would do, but Maddi wasn't here to help since she was in Official Medical school on another server. 

I looked at Gen up and down and "checked his vitals" as Maddi would call it. His clothes were awefully dirty considering he was still in his pajamas. I left him at the table and ran back to get the ring. As I picked it up I could feel a warm pressure spread through me. The ring began to vibrate and I dropped it in shock. The sound of it pinging against the floor sounded eerie and made me shiver. I decided to leave it on the ground and went back to check on Gen.

I went over to him. His face was very pale and I could see an odd scar forming under his eye. It was the silhouette of a Wither. His finger, where he always wore the ring looked like it had been burned. I heard noise from upstairs and then the gentle plodding of someone coming down the stairs. It was Louis. 

"Louis!" I yelled. I wasn't too concerned if I woke anybody up. "Yeah?" he replied as he rounded the last step. "Whoa! What happened?" he asked. He immediately ran over to Gen's side. "I heard a scream in the kitchen and I found him unconscious. There was a note by his head. He was hit by a frying pan!" I spit out. I found myself hyperventalating. "Slow down Butter" he responded. "He..." I took a breath, "His ring. There was a note near him. It said that the Wither was going to destroy the server" I let out another deep breath. "Ok, ok. Where is the note?" he questioned. "The kitchen" I replied. 

Louis ran over to the kitchen and I stayed watching Gen breath in and out. I was glad he was alive, I couldn't deal with losing a friend. I reached over and lightly tapped his cheek.  He didn't respond, and I realized I should just leave him alone. Louis came back a minute later. His face was stern, but still friendly. "We have 30 days Butter. Let's deal with the more immediate problems." I gestured to Gen who still lay limp. "Of course" I agreed.
