All i could think of was the madness that just occurred.

As we chased after the, surprisingly nimble, Witch i couldn't help but think that this was all my mind playing tricks on me, as i lay nearly dead on the arena floor with the others, and that creeper explosion had actually ended us all.

However i decided to question things later, as we all followed her up a splintered set of stairs to a tiny witch hut.I was the last one in, and shut the door behind me as we all crowded into the tiny shack.Mitch laid Rob down on a frayed bed in the corner as the rest of us stood, horrified, watching.I pulled Mitch back towards us as we watched her carefully inspect the damage done to Rob.

Now that we could finally stop for a minuet, we could all see the damage that had been done.Aside from the mob blood we were all smothered in, Rob had a large bleeding gash across his forehead, as well as his hair and previously ocean blue hoodie being singed from the explosion.
The witch spoke up.

"Well, although he is hurt rather bad, its nothing i can't fix.We do however need more space..."

She looked around the room, before ushering us all outside.I looked indoors to see her wave her hands at Rob, muttering something, before he was miraculously lifted into the air, as if gravity just decided to quit on him.He too floated out the door, everyone looking up as he remained peacefully unconscious.I gingerly put my hands up, afraid that he could fall any second as we stood outside in the cold of the evening. 

"What are we doing out here?"

Vikk asked, looking up at the witch.

(Poor Vikk, even though the lady was fairly short, he still seemed to be smaller :'D )

"Im changing the room silly!"

She jabbed Vikk in the chest with a pointy finger, before opening the door.
Vikk shivered violently, as if he had just had ice cubes shoved down the back of his shirt.I could hear the witch chuckling from inside, and Rob gently floated through the door.Preston followed him closely, along with Mitch and loud gasping could be heard from the inside.Jerome followed quickly when he heard Mitch cry out in surprise, whilst i lingered outside with Vikk.

"You alright man? What the hell was that?"

"I don't know..."

He seemed distracted, and quickly entered the (still tiny looking) shack.He too gasped, and i followed with curiosity.I was left speechless, as the room was now at least five times bigger than it originally was, with better furniture and an overall warmer environment.

There was also a single bed in the centre of the room, in which Rob was now settled on top of the sheets.We all slowly made our way over to him, as the witch stood by a cauldron to the left, placing some ingredients into a brewing stand.Once she was done, she made her way over to him, and placed a wrinkled hand to the undamaged side of his forehead, feeling his temperature.

"Right..."

We all looked at her, as she lifted her head up to us.

"For this to work, im going to need some isolation for a minuet or too, i haven't done a healing spell in a while.For now, my cat Luscious can show you to a clean water source so you can wash up.There He will bring your clothes back to me, where they will be washed before you're done."  

She gestured behind us, and we all turned around to see a midnight black cat with icy blue eyes watching us by a door in the far corner of the room.

"If you could please follow me..."

He spoke up, his voice smooth and silky as he stood up and sauntered over to the door, pushing it open.Surprised, we all cautiously followed him down a corridor, where the sound of gushing water grew nearer.Sure enough, there was a large bath of water in the centre of a quarts and glowstone room.

"I will be back shortly."

And with that, the cat left the room.

A moment passed, before Mitch coughed awkwardly.

"So uhh... Can we just leave out underwear on for now? Or how do we do this?"

------------------------------------------------

"Luci, can you please pass me that damp cloth?"

I called over to my fellow kitty companion as he entered the room.He complied, as a dripping rag floated carefully into my awaiting hands.

I had already cast my healing spell, i just needed to keep his temperature down before everything returned to normal.

I placed it gently across the young man's brow, gently dabbing here and there at the slowly healing gash on his skin.

About another five minuets, and Luscious left the room to gather the other young men's clothes as i was left with my, now stirring, patient.He slowly opened his eyes, big orbs of hazel adjusting to his surroundings.He blinked peacefully, before suddenly sitting bolt upright, the cloth nearly dropping to the floor as i managed to catch it.He backed up against the wall, palms resting on the pillows as he eyed me fearfully.

"It's okay young man you're safe now.As are your friends, they have just gone to wash up."

I flicked my head back towards the door, and he followed my gaze.

"Uhm..."

He croaked, coughing before continuing.

"Excuse me...where am i?"

"I know this is all confusing for you.But you and your friends have been spotted in my vision, and i came to your aid as soon as i found your location.You were fighting mobs to the death in an arena, before your blonde friend set off a creeper, which blew you all sky high.You were the only one with serious injury.I rescued you all, and brought you back here where i have been healing your wounds.As i said, everyone is cleaning off all the death from earlier, which i will now let you get round to."

I smiled at him, before he cautiously smiled back.

He carefully rose from the bed, before slowly making his way to the door.

"Thank you ma'am!"

He grinned fully at me, before leaving the room.

I liked this kid already.
