Crossed between worlds- A Minecraft story

Chapter 19

Heat. My head shot up; my body was sweating. Where am I? I looked around. I was in a room so red I felt as if it was the inside of a volcano. There was a lava fall.

Where was Ashton? I called out his name, but all that came out was a "Mmmf!" I tried moving around, but I couldn't. I was tied up to a pole.

My arms were stretched out all around my pole. At the other side of the pole were my hands. I moved my fingers around, and I felt something. I felt hair.

Ashton must be on the other side of me! I could feel him struggling around, trying to get out. I made a loud, "Mmmerf!" and he stopped, realizing that I was awake.

"Mmmf!" he said. "Mmmm..." Ashton paused, probably realizing he couldn't talk.

I heard a door open somewhere, and strange hybrid pigs holding swords came into view. They were oinking to each other, and I couldn't understand them at all.

I focused, and tried to see if they were speaking English. All of a sudden I could understand what they were saying.

"Master told us to get both of the boys and execute them," one pig said.

I wonder who master is?

"Ender and Brine will reward us greatly." another pig said.

Brine? They couldn't mean...

"Since they are asleep, let's kill them now."

"I will get more of my men."

The pigs exited the room.

Alarm rushed through me. What am I going to do? I don't have any weapons, and I'm tied up.

What can I do? I then felt banging on the pole we were tied to. I glanced up at Ashton's hand, who was trying to break something. After a minute, the pole came plummeting down to the ground.

Ashton wiggled his way out of the pole. I lie there helplessly, and he came over to me and used his block hands to untie my rope.

I took the cloth that was binded around my mouth off of my face and tended to Ashton. When we were all untied, I asked, "How did you do that?"

He smiled and said, "That's just the magic of mining."

We heard the door open behind us, and in came the hybrid pigs.

"The prisoners have escaped!" a pig said. "Get them!"

"Zombie Pigmen!" Ashton yelled. "Run!"

We broke in a run. I honestly didn't know where we were going, but we had to escape the room somehow.

"Just wait until they all clear out of the doors," Ashton said. "Then we can run over to the exit."

We kept running in random directions, and the zombie pigmen kept a close distance with us. I glanced over at the door and it was clear of pigmen. Now is our chance.

"Ashton!" I whispered- yelled.

"What?" he panted.

"The entrance is clear of pigmen, now's our chance!"

We changed directions to go towards the door. I passed up Ashton a bit, and was getting closer and closer. I reached out for the doorknob, but was cut short when somebody tugged me- hard- on my shirt.

I fell on my back as a zombie pigman leaned over me.

"So, you are Herobrine's brother, huh?" he asked me.

I nodded.

"You are very famous in our world," he said. "Do you know what would really please your brother?"

I stared at him, fear making me shiver.

"A nice head of you on his wall in his brand new castle when the human world gets taken over. That will be the sign of your downfall. The Nether will rise and rule everything!"

I held up his sword to my throat. "Any last words?"

A voice came from behind from me.

"Do you have any last words?"

A fist collided with the zombie pigman's face, and he fell to the ground. The hand helped me up.

It was Ashton! I opened my mouth up to say thank you, but he stopped me.

"You can thank me later!" he said. "Now come on, let's get out of here!"

We opened the door, and exited the room. Ashton placed two blocks down in front of the door to block the pigmen.

I looked around at the lava filled place.

"Welcome to the Nether."
