Chapter 3
Sam's PoV (the next day)
I wake up in the makeshift house everyone slept in, the whole floor is beds. Mario shakes his head, and stands up.
“We really need a better house.” He stretches.
“Obviously. We should try to find a village or something.” Jacob yawns.
“I was-” M starts.
“NO FIGHTING.” I say firmly, cutting him off. “You know I already have enough problems.”
They look down, and I break my bed. I don't think there's respawning here. I walk outside, and check what I have.
A stack of logs, thirty-two torches, stone sword, and iron armor. I put the armor on, and go off by myself. I think I can find a village or something, but I just need some time. I keep my sword at my side, and keep my guard up.
I hear someone walking in the woods, and stop. I slowly pull my sword out, and wait. A girl wearing glasses (@BlueDiamond101 this is for you! Thanks for roleplaying with me! Yes, it means you have two OCs in this!) walks out holding a sword I've never seen before. She goes into a defensive position, and I mimic it. She looks at me for a minute, and drops her position. I drop mine, and she nods.
“I'm D, and you are?” D holds her hand out.
“I'm Sam, hi. Why the glasses?” I ask, shaking her hand.
She stops. “I don't talk about it. Where are you from?”
I swallow. I don't know how to say it.
“Wait, are you from somewhere else? Another dimension?” She steps back.
I nod. “Why is that important?”
“You're the reason he's back! You're one of the people who were attacked!” She yells.
“Who, Hero-” I start.
“Don't say his name! He'll find you!” D shoves me.
I nod, and look around. “Where'd you come from?”
“A kingdom a half day that way.” She points at the woods she was in. “Who else came?”
I bite my tongue. “I think fourteen people that can actually go...” I start concentrating on my breathing. “In, out, in, out, in, out...”
D puts her hand on my shoulder. “I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked.”
I shake my head. “I have to tell someone.” I take a deep breath. “Sixteen people were kidnapped and brought here, but only fifteen were in the same place. The one I loved, Max, was the only one who didn't make it. I think he was kidnapped by, uh, him.” I swallow, and feel the ache.
D hugs me. “I know how it feels. I loved someone but then he...” She trails off and sighs.
I pat her on the back and grab her hand. “Come on, I'll show you everyone else.”

D's PoV
Everyone welcomes me, and only two people ask me about my glasses, and then they start arguing.
“SHUT UP!” Sam yells. “No fighting or we'll leave you behind!”
“Why do you always yell at us?” One mutters.
“I only yell at you guys when I'm not in the mood! Or it's a bad time because we have issues to fix!” Sam yells, pointing down at the end.
