Minecraft: a Novel

Chapter 15

My eyes slowly opened. I expected to be in my own safe room with my mother standing over me. Nope. I was still in this creepy room with nothing but a bed and a dresser in it.

I shut my eyes and waited. I couldn't fall asleep.

A few minuets later the door opened.

"Gregor? You awake yet?" It was Ben's voice. He walked up to me and shook me. I pretended to wake up.

"C'mon, buddy. Let's go."

I grumbled. He led me out the door.

We walked into a larger room with a sign that said 'Mess Hall' on it. There were tables that lined it. Lora and Grace were sitting together on one and Jane was pulling some food out of a chest nearby.

"Look who finally woke up," Grace proclaimed.

I followed Ben as he walked to the chest. He pulled out some steak and gave me some. We walked to a table and there we were greeted by Jane.

"So, you ready for day one of training?" Jane asked.

"Training?"

"Well, you'll need training if you want to be part of this outfit," Ben said.

I had a small bite from my steak and asked, "How long does training take?"

"Depends. If you do well, it should only take about a month," Jane answered.

"A month?"

"You're lucky it's not a year. Anyway, time flies," Ben said.

Me and Ben finished our steak in silence. Jane nibbled on her apple.

After we were all finished, Jane said, "Shall I begin Gregor's training?"

"I think it's time," Ben answered.
