Creeper (A Minecraft Story) [Book 1: Against all mobs]

Chapter 2

I jumped behind tree to tree, to keep at a safe distance, but always being able to see it. It was a lighter shade of green than any normal zombie, but it was probably a DNA failure or something. I also remember seeing it as very long, and having no clothes on, but I kept saying to myself, I can destroy this zombie.

It looked to its right slightly, and I ducked behind a tree. I thought it caught sight of me. As it carried on throughout its trek throughout the jungle, I jumped behind it. It looked at me, almost crying, it was very upset, and it wasn't like anything I've ever seen before. By now, I knew I had made a huge mistake. It slowly got bigger and bigger, making terrifying hissing noises, before...

BANG!

It blew up, disappearing right in front of me, blasting me back. I got so much damage, I turned back to my tree-house and ate more food. I was so confused about what had just happened. A "friendly" zombie hunt had quickly turned into a disastrous nightmare. I was in searing pain, but I slowly recovered. I fell asleep too quickly for it to be any sort of good sign. I woke up and looked at the sun after climbing out of my tree-house. It was afternoon, I was asleep for so long! I quickly ran to the sight of the explosion. I looked down and saw that the... the... Zombie Mutation had blown up right over a ginormous cave system. I looked down at a huge drop down. There was no way of climbing down, and mining stairs would've taken too long. I places torches down as far as I could, and saw a small pool of water. If I can jump into that puddle, I have a chance of survival. I remembered my house again. I will return, I thought. I will return.

With nothing but a sword, pick-axe, and torches, I jumped down. I felt the wind rush into my hair and face, and finally, I fell into the water. I was wet (of course), but safe and no damage. I remembered I had no food. As if on command, all of a sudden, a pig fell into the drop and died, making me some pork. I wasn't hungry yet, but it would've been better to go back and take some food with me.

I ventured through the dark and cold caves, placing as few torches as I could, because I was running low on them. I saw spiders, but they didn't see me. This cave was scaring me. I much preferred the small hole in the over-world, where it gave me, basically all I really needed apart from food. I decided to mine some more stone, and even and iron and coal, but what I really needed was wood.

I kept walking, really low on torches. I only had 10, but the cave was bigger than for 10. I soon saw a lever. I was worried, would it active some traps? Piston trap? TNT? Not exactly sure how I got this knowledge, but I knew it. I looked behind me, fog. I was too far into the cave to be intimidated by a lever. A simple contraption. When I thought this I knew...

"I'm not alone..."
