Stuck In A Cube World

Chapter Eight

~~Chapter Eight~~

~~Brandons Pov~~

Did Erik just..."Did you just.....?"

"I teleported!" he said looking exciting. Erik was sometimes strange before. Guess that didn't change. He was about to throw the other one but I stopped him in time, "Wait! That could be important. You should keep it just in case."

"Hm, I guess you're right, alright I'll keep it for now." he said putting it in his pocket.

"Good, now lets eat, I'm getting hungry." I said grabbing steak out of the oven.

The next morning was just like any other, somewhat normal morning. But little did I know this day would be different. I went out alone to go mining with a pick-axe. I found a cave and cleared out all the monsters. Then I set some torces, [That's How I Say Torches,] so more wouldn't come back. Finally I started to mine. I brought an extra crafting bench and oven since I now knew how everything worked here. I mined. and mined but found nothing but more stone, coal, and some iron. But then my luck got a thousand times better. I found a big cave with lots of iron and gold. But then I saw it. The light blue color told me what it was. Diamonds! Brandon had told me about diamonds. How extremely rare they were and really difficult to find. I made a safe way down while setting torces and killing monsters that protected the cave. As I got to the diamonds I mined at the stone around it to get a better look and to see how much there was.

I mined at a certain block that was a little easier and quicker. Then I found out.

"Hey buddy, get your own diamonds, I found these first!" they yelled at me.

I started mining to get away from all the mobs. I mined and mined for a while in my stair formation. mined for a pretty long time. Then, I hit the jackpot. With it's shiny blue glow I knew that I found diamonds. I wanted to scream, but I wasn't sure if there was a cave filled with mobs nearby. I held it in and started to mine around it to count how much I found. I mined up a piece of stone that went pretty quick then usual. After I mined it I saw some guy who looked about my age. Probably trying to steal my diamonds!

"Hey buddy, get your own diamonds, I found these first!" I snapped at him.

He looked a little surprised. He didn't know know what to say, looked like he was frozen in place. then he finally said something.

"Hey do I, know you, from somewhere?"

I took a second look at him. He did look pretty familiar.

"I'm not sure. Maybe." I said.

We studied each other for awhile until he broke the silence again.

"Did we... go to the same school, or something?"

I snapped my fingers with excitement, "That's where I know you from! In 5th grade, ERIK!"

"DAKOTA!" he said.

I mined the second block blocking us and jumped up and hugged him.

"I'm glad there's someone else that I know here." I said letting go.

"Well it's not just me here. Come on, I'll show back to my place." he said walking to some steps.

"Wait, what about the diamonds?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, lets get them now and then leave."

"Ok."

We each mined some diamond with our pick-axes.

"How much did you get?" he asked me.

"About three, you?"

"Same, that's good for now. Come on, follow me." he said heading back to the steps.

On the way back it was night time. Probably about midnight. Dakota staid behind me for cover. Was I a shield to her? Well I knew is that she's scared. But what she doesn't know, is that so am I. When we got back I saw a couple of sheep near the house. I killed them and collected there wool. We quietly snuck inside without waking Brandon. I quietly told her I'll explain everything in the morning and made her a bed. She laid down and quickly fell asleep. I did the same. But before I fell asleep I looked back at Dakota. An image of my first nightmare appeared in my head. I shook my head and quickly went to sleep.
