Dirt takes one step and we hear a click...

That sound makes us all immediately sprint as fast as we can away from the house. We all take off in the same direction.

I am scared to death right now. I feel as if it's the world against me. I really forgot about the rest.

I snap out of the vision and notice everyone is right beside me, running. All looking forward.

We run about 100 feet away from the house. And stop and catch our breath.

"Nothing... Nothing is happening." I say, terrified to look behind me.

I daringly look behind me and I see an extra building made completely out of iron blocks.

I tap Ethan, who is right next to me, to turn around. And he slowly turns around, looking relieved.

"Turn around." He says to the rest of the gang.

They too turn around, frightened, but looking relieved once the sight fills their eyes.

"A secret building? ... kind of suspicious." Catter warns all of us.

"What isn't suspicious... like that cow that gave birth to that chicken?" Arrows says relating to when we were outside when we were little. There must have been a glitch in our server, making the cow give birth to the chicken.

"Oh I remember that!" Dirt says laughing as he picks himself off the ground.

"I was freaked out! Remember how I was scared of cows and chickens for about two months..." Crazy begins but Arrows finishes it.

"- and the only meat you ate was pork? Yeah! We kept teasing you about that!" Oh man, how I wish I was still little. Those days were the best... If I had my parents.

"Shall we check it out?" Catter cautiously asks everyone.

"Yeah." I say taking the first step towards the mysterious new building.

Everyone begins to follow slowly, exclusively staring at the ground.

We all carefully place our steps, taking us about 5 minutes to reach the building.

"Who wants the take the honor?" I shy out this time from making the first move.

What? I'm always the one who dies

"I'll do it." Dirt lightly shoved past me.

He slowly pushes open the light, wooden door.

He takes one step in, cautious of his surroundings. He carefully investigates the place, looking for any booby traps.

"We're clear." Until BOOM!

Him and the whole building explodes, killing him... wait. No. He is really hurt while the rest of us are blown back a god 15 feet.

"DAMN IT!" I scream as I fly back, landing on my back knocking the wind out of me.

Every single person that hits the ground, I can hear a hard THUD.

"Oh my god..." Crazy says as she runs her temples at the pain.

"OWW!" Catter clutches her stomach, I swear she is ready to puke.

"My arm..." Arrows arm looks pretty screwed up. I can't bare to look at it.

As for Ethan and I, we probably have mild concussions considering our head caught our fall.

I grab my head, trying to rub the searing pain away.

I don't think there is enough healing potions in order for all of us to feel the slightest bit better.

"Dirt!," Arrows yells, feeling like a mob of zombies is eating the flesh from my head, "are you okay?" He doesn't respond but we can hear his moans from a distance.

"Ow..." All of us say, rubbing whatever hurts. This is horrible. Who would do such a horrible thing? My head is throbbing from the pain, along with Ethan and Crazy, Catter landed literally on her stomach. I'm not surprised if her meal comes up. As for Arrows, it looks like she fractured her arm. Making it impossible for her to shoot her bow.

We sit for minutes, just groaning in misery. I try to dig up some healing potions but have no luck, considering my vision is blurred out of proportion.

I reach around my bag, with my eyes closed, until I feel a cool bottle. I pull it out and smell it, testing what it is.

Yes. Healing potion.

I pop the cap open as take a sip out of it and pass it around, everyone getting a sip until it is empty. Except Dirt. I don't think he's in ANY condition to even move his arm. I guess he'll need a full bottle.

Minutes later I feel fuzzy, feeling as if the pain is slightly becoming relief. But that feeling only lasts for a minute or so before I feel a pulse in my head again.

"Lets check to see if Dirt is okay." Arrows says slowly pulling herself off the ground and begins to limp towards.

I can't move. Literally. My head will spin too much I'll probably puke my brains out. But I slowly drag myself across the ground until I reach Dirt.

Catter reaches into my bag and pulls another potion out, pouring some of it down his throat. A few minutes later he speaks and we treat it as if it was his first words ever since he was bored.

"... Damn." He laughs, making everyone too. Judging by how quickly it faded, I'm sure everyone was in agony.

We all sit there, passing around healing potion bottles, taking little sips.

We have no intention of speaking to one another. We sit and drink in silence which was good. I didn't want to talk nor did I want to hear any talking. Just complete silence.

After literally 10 minutes someone dares to speak the first word.

"How's everyone feeling?" Ethan slowly states. I heard the pain in his voice. I know for a fact he regrets saying that.

Our response: moaning.

"I feel as if a bird is pecking my eyes out and stabbing holes into my head." I just throw out there. I seriously am in so much pain. But I can't imagine Dirts condition. I would just probably kill myself and see what happens.

"I feel the Incredible Hulk punched me in my arm." Arrows cries out to everyone.

"I think the only move my boxing partner had was gut punches." Catter says with a joking tone.

Good to know everyone is still the same personality wise.

"Looting was a horrible idea. I say tomorrow we head home and rest and heal." Ethan cleverly says.

I lightly poke him showing approval of his brilliant idea.

"I just want to sleep." Crazy says.

No. I don't want her in a coma.

"Wake up." I kick her foot. Making us both want to scream In agony. Today is horrible. Worst day of my life.

"Dirt. Are... are you okay?" I ask finally opening up my eyes. His head is resting in Catter's lap and his eyes slowly open too.

"No." His health is slowly regaining along with the rest of us.

"I'm guessing we are all done today even though it hasn't lasted for awhile?" Crazy whines, and groans in pain.

"I think so." Arrows replies as she holds her elbow. I can't believe this. Our only bow and arrows expert was basically shot in the arm!

"Oh no...," Catter clutches her stomach, "oww...."

I pat her back for comfort. I can't imagine just landing on your stomach. She literally did a belly flop onto the hard ground.

"Is everyone... feeling the least of bit better?" I ask, incorporating a sigh.

No one does nothing. I didn't either. I was just checking.

"Dirt, you still alive?" Ethan asks, making us all chuckle for a moment.

"Mmm." He replies moments later, signaling he's still alive.

"C'mon guys," I speak while trying to stand up, "we have to go home. Or at least make a shelter." I check my bag for anything I might have dropped while getting caught in the explosion.

Nothing of my record has been misplaced... good. Because at least I've got a "trophy" or "trophies" to bring home.

Once I finally stands up without my head spinning, I take a step... bad idea.

I basically trip on my own foot and land flat on the ground.

"On second thought," I say with my cheek squished on the ground, "the ground seems okay." Letting people have another laugh after a near death experience.

"I think the potion is beginning to work." Catter says as she stands up with no problem.

"My stomach ache is gone." She says as she takes steps forward.

"Alright. I'll try to get up." Arrows immediately replies, slowly picking herself up off the ground with one arm.

Everyone is getting up while Dirt and I are just laying on the ground. I can understand Dirts reason why though.

"Need help?" I hear Ethan say as he approaches me, lending his hand out.

"Yeah." I reply grabbing his hand.

"Dirt... Need another potion?" I say rummaging around my bag.

"Mhm." He mumbles back. I walk over, handing him a bottle and helping him up.

His health is only at half. Well at least he's recovering.

I grab his arms and lift him up. Also opening the potion bottle for him.

He takes little sips, letting it rush down his throat.

"How much more do we have?" He asks me. I search my bag.

"Enough." I say as I begin walking back home.

"Do you know the way home?" Crazy asks with a slight tilt of her head.
