Morning came too early that day. I started out my day mining iron and coal, while Alex was out harvesting leather from cows. I was digging a out a staircase in the mine, when I proceeded to fall in a deposit of water. I learned from Herobrine's journal (which I brought with me) that if I ever wanted to find the Ender dragon, I'd need a lot of diamonds. But where would I find them? There weren't any near me. I walked down a corridor I found in a cave which led to a mineshaft. I hadn't seen anything like it. There was a rail system, and even unused minecarts with loot inside them. Nothing good though.

As I explored the abandoned mineshaft some more, I noticed a cage inside a small room at a distance away. I walked toward it, to find a dead zombie inside. The weird thing about it was that there were more zombies appearing from nowhere around the cage. I quickly destroyed the cage and killed the zombies. They had injured me pretty bad. I clenched my chest and saw two chests in the room with me. I opened them and got some pretty interesting treasure. I got some music discs, gunpowder, iron, and a golden apple. It looked tasty, but it would probably hurt my teeth trying to eat it.

I turned around to get back to the staircase when another whisper came around. It said "Your home bed was missing or obstructed." That didn't sound good. I ran back up to the surface to find my house was on fire! But the worst part was, Alex was in there. I ran in my burning house, picked up Alex, and broke the window. After jumping out, I found out Alex was wasn't breathing. Tearing up, I have her mouth-to-mouth. I wept during the parts where I was inhaling. Fortunately, she woke up, but she looked confused.

"Steve?" She asked me, "are you crying?"

"Um...no" I responded. Then I burst in tears. Alex and I have known each other for less that 24 hours, but I cared more about her than anyone else in my life. I finally found someone who didn't hate me to death.

"Who did this?" I asked.

"He looked a lot like you, but he had clear eyes."
