       Coughs and hacks echoes throughout the portal chamber, Cassie and her accomplice, Winslow threw in everything to get her hands on a key that could open portals with one strike, however she has failed. The voice changing pumpkin, enlightened by vibrant blue hell flames, wakes up Cassie after a fall from a gang of four. Cassie takes off the pumpkin and tosses down her hungry pit of endermites.

"Well Jesse, I bet you're reeeal proud of yourself.", she angrily shouts "Look at me! Stuck again! Out of Ender Pearls!"

The gang checks on her, mercilessly staring at her, without even a little empathy in their faces. Cassie sighs, beginning rambling, "Trapped...in my own trap...Ha. Of course. Of course."

Jesse still gives a dead look into her helpless face, then walks away from the monster she is, but with a depressed pled, they stop again.

"Give me my cat? My sweet dear Winslow? He's my best...my only friend. Please."

With no empathy, Jesse shakes and refuses, continuing towards the portal, her mentioned only friend leaves too. She hopelessly tries to gain him again with a treat he desired the most; a salmon.

"I have fish! Come get the fishy!"

"Winslow?"

"Winslow!"

No answer, the whirring of the portal fades away, only the ambient sounds from the underneath answers.

"Winslow...why...", she sobs, dropping the fish out of her hands, the ender-pests underneath gobble up their new dinner. Cassie falls to the ground, trapped in a barless prison, with invisible walls holding a killer in.

"WINSLOW COME BACK! YOUR MASTER IS SORRY!", she gloomily apologises to her forsaken feline friend, but Winslow gives no sign. "PLEASE, WINSLOW!", a melancholy murderer pleads again, asking for her absent absolution to be taken.

Her mouth only screams out the words of sorrow throughout the cavern, streams of tears slid down a face not known anymore, until they reach a dropping point, and fall into the water-sensitive endermites.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE CASSIE?", a voice calls out.

"FAILURE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.", another one shamelessly cries.

"CASSIE, YOU HAD ONE TASK OF GETTING YOUR DESIRED TREASURE BACK."

"AND YOU FAILED!"

  "WHAT TO DO?"

  "WHAT TO DO?"

"WHAT TO DO?"

"WHAT TO DO?"

"WHAT TO DO?"

"WHAT TO DO?"

"SHE SHOULD STAY THERE!"

"OF COURSE!"

"I AGREE TO THIS SHAMEFUL DISGRACE."

"TRAPPED IN A PRISON WITHOUT WALLS!"

"YES"

"YES"

"YES"

"STOP IT YOU! ALL OF YOU!", she denies to the empty space. "HOW ABOUT YOU ALL MEET THE TIP OF MY AXE!!!".

Cassie pulls out her back up axe, and swings hastily and violently, to slay any entity calling out against her.

"YOU CAN'T KILL US!"

"I THOUGHT YOU WERE SMART..."

"NEITHER SWORD..."

"...OR AXE..."

"...OR PICKAXE..."

"...OR SPEAR..."

  "...OR BOW..."

  "...OR KNIFE..."

"...OR HAMMER..."

"...OR..."

"YES, YES, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT CAN!?"

Cassie puts away her axe, then slowly shifts towards the edge, arms stretched, the deep bottom awaits to catch her along with squirming endermites below.

"NO!"

"DO NOT!!!"

"DON'T"

"I COMMAND YOU TO STOP!"

"STOP CASSIE"

"CASSIE"

"STOP"

She suppresses the own absent threats and takes one last breath then leans forwards...

"CASSIE!"

"CASSIE!"

"CASSIE!"

"CASSIE!"

"CASSIR"

"CASSKT"

"CASIFQ"

"CKJFW"

"FJRAJ"

"..."

The world abruptly stops...the voices rapidly fade away, she felt nothing...Cassie Rose has...























...fell upon another dirt platform.

Cassie wakes up from her fall, her glasses pushes within.

  "OW!! "WHAT!?"

  She looks up the dirt staircase, with her feline friend on a lever. Cassie quickly stands up and rushes to Winslow. "WINSLOW!!! Thank you, you saving Master!", she cheerful raises and dances around. "Here's a fishy just for you!"

Cassie feeds her heroic calico cat with another fresh piece of salmon, he nibbles the treat until nothing is left.

"Are you alright!?", a mysterious voice asks, wearing a brown and green leather jacket, his hair in a slick style...
