It was a rainy but cool Saturday evening, my parents were away on a business trip,
I was left alone in the house, it kind of feels nice to be alone, but I hate being lonely, sure yeah that makes a lot of sense.

My friend called me and invited me to play multiplayer on GTA V... As we played, I realized that no game that I've played has ever given me that satisfaction of fun, like in each game, something is missing to me, I played a lot of FPS games with none ever having that general meaning of 'fun' to me... Game after game after game just felt like me playing a song I didn't like on repeat, that is, until I discovered Minecraft.

After playing with my friends, I played Minecraft...

I spawned into the world, looking around I notice the beautiful scenic view around me
(I had shaders on).
I mined out a few trees, built a house, and then went hunting for some food in the woods...
While I was hunting, I felt this bad feeling, like this sense of danger, like I was being watched.
I quickly dismissed it as only me having paranoia and went on to hunt some game.
After hunting, I went straight back to my house because it was getting dark. I cooked some pork chop to eat to regain my hunger and then smelted some iron I found in a mine before. While doing so, I felt a strange cold seeping into my bedroom, it was night time, so the sensation of a sudden chill in the air was a bit creepy, but I ignored it and put my character to sleep, that's when I realized something was wrong.
When I slept, it didn't skip to dawn and when I tried to wake up, the game wouldn't let me, in the chatbox it said that all players must sleep in order to skip to dawn, but the strange thing was, I wasn't playing with anyone. I checked host options to look for a player but nothing was registered other than my own name.
Suddenly, I heard my door open followed by footsteps walking slowly towards my bed, at that time, there was a sudden storm outside my house in real life, so I stood up and closed all my windows in my room.
When I returned to my game I see this figure of what looked like a player, standing beside my bed and staring at me, like literally at me. As if it could see me from beyond the screen of my computer.
I only noticed then that the person standing beside my bed had the skin from one of the mobtalker mobs, the creeper girl if I recall correctly.
My Minecraft then suddenly crashed which followed a flash of lightning accompanied by the loud roar of thunder which made me jump out of my chair. I suddenly felt a heavy weariness and decided to turn off my computer thinking that I may have broken it, but my thoughts were silenced, all I wanted to do was to go to sleep, and so I slept.

I was woken up by my windows suddenly bursting open, now ajar, the wind made a creepy whistling sound as it air tunneled through my window, I stumbled for my flashlight because for some reason the light was turned off, but i payed no notice to it. As I shut the window, I hear something, or rather someone breathing, like someone was sleeping. My drowsiness caused me to ignore the sound and go back to bed.
I stretched to grab my pillow because when I sleep I always felt comfortable hugging my pillow and tucking my face in to fall asleep,
Strangest thing was my pillow felt a bit harder than usual but at the same time soft, it felt much more comfortable than your average pillow, yeah with it's soft texture, soft hand... Wait, soft hand!?
I stumbled off the bed and reached for the light switch in the dark, I opened the lights to see something or rather someone sleeping covered in my blanket.
In fear, I changed into my fighting stance(I learned MMA) as I took off the blanket.
But instead of a monster, I see this girl wearing a green a hoodie with a creeper face painted a lighter shade of green on the top of her hoodie, her hair a light auburn.
The girl yawns and stretches as she got up, rubbing her eyes and then opening them, her eyes were a brownish orange color...
Upon opening her eyes, she flinched and stood rooted to the ground in fear as she saw me.
"W-where am I? W-who are you?" The girl asked stammering in fear.
"Wait you mean you don't know that you were sleeping in my bed?" I asked feeling suspicious.
"No, I don't remember anything! All I remember was that I took shelter in a house because it was raining. Then I saw this sleeping person then suddenly, I felt really sleepy and I guess I passed out, then I woke up here..." The girl replied
"Wait a minute, where exactly are you from?" I asked getting concerned
"I have no home, I just roam the lands aimlessly, I'm from the land of Minecraftia. But you already know that since you live here" the girl said with a smile.
"You must be confused, this world is called Earth." I said almost ignoring that fact that she said she was from Minecraftia.

Me: do you have a name?
???: yes! My name is Cupa, Cupa the creeper! Nice to meet you uhm...
Me: Kurch, call me Kurch
Kurch:(wait a minute, Cupa, that name, like that mobtalker girl?)
Cupa: so uhm Kurch? What is it like on Earth?
Kurch: well, it's almost the same as the world you live in but, way more advanced.
Cupa: how did I get here? My head hurts...
Kurch: Lie on my bed and have some rest, you're gonna need it I think( So Cupa and I experienced the same phenomenon, we both felt really sleepy, but how did she get here?

Many questions were filling my mind, and yet, none of them were being answered. Trying to comprehend what happened gave me nothing but a migraine. I decided to go back to sleep and think about it in the morning...

Kurch: Cupa?
Cupa: yes?
Kurch: do you mind if I sleep on the bed? I mean it's big enough for two so we don't have to like squeeze.
Cupa:*blushing* w-well t-this is your bed so it kind of is your choice...
Kurch:( darn it dude, you could just sleep on the floor! Why do you have to make it so awkward?! Stupid idiotic...)
Cupa: Kurch?
Kurch:Yeah?
Cupa: It's fine, y-you can sleep on the bed
Kurch: well... Ok... Thx... Sry If I made you feel uncomfortable.
Cupa:*sleeping*
Kurch: wow she really is tired...

I climbed onto the bed, lay down facing away from Cupa just to avoid an awkward wake up tomorrow, (I was just playing Minecraft a while ago, and now I'm in a bed with a girl I hardly know...

"G-get away... Get that cat away from me..." Cupa said in her sleep.
"She's sleep talking... Did she just say she was afraid of cats?". I asked myself as I slowly nodded off...
