I hadn’t been on Minecraft in a few days, just trying to live my life as normally as possible without Adam in my life. I hadn’t done this to him before though. He must be wondering where I am.

I climb into bed as normal and lay with my face towards the ceiling, thoughts running through my head. I glance over at Mitch, he was laying on his side with his eyes closed, one hand on his pillow. Why did this have to happen? Why couldn’t I have just told them? Why couldn’t I have just stopped Adam? I was young and stupid, and now I’m paying the price.

I don’t know when I drifted off, but I soon find myself dreaming. I was in Adam’s room (in Minecraftia) but something was terribly wrong. As I looked around I saw broken glass, shattered bottles and damaged books all scattered across the floor. The door had been broken down and the chests had been ransacked.

The scene changes and I’m at the edge of the lake Adam and I always meet at. But the waters were dark and the sky was cloudy. A chilling breeze hung in the air, freezing me from inside and out. A gasp as I spot Adam’s crown on the ground and his legendary butter sword a few metres away.

“Sky!” I yell and run to the water’s edge. I stare down into the murky abyss, trying to find any sign of life. I fall backwards as I feel a slimy tentacle wrap tightly around my ankle, slowly pulling me in.

I scream as more squids start to grab me and pull me in, I was completely defenceless, “Help!”

“Aza!” someone calls out, I instantly recognise the voice.

“Sky!” I cry, continuing to be dragged in further into the gulf.

He dives and desperately tries to grab my hand. But it was too late, my face is dragged under and I feel the water starting to fill my lungs. My vision fades.

                                                                 ***

"Aza!" I feel a hand on my shoulder, "Aza!"

I open my eyes and see Mitch desperately calling my name.

"Aza!" Mitch calls to me, "Are you alright?"

I shake my head and bury my head in his shoulder, glad to be in the presence of his warmth.

"What happened?" Mitch asks.

He knew I'd had a vivid dream. He finds it hard to wake me up sometimes. Usually my dreams aren't that bad, but this dream... it was more of a nightmare. I turn away from Mitch and lay on my back, rubbing my forehead.

"A dream?" Mitch guesses, "What happened?"

I shake my head, "Not a dream. Much worse."

"I guessed." Mitch responds, "You woke me up."

"Sorry." I apologise.

"What happened?" Mitch asks again.

I sort through my most recent memories, trying to piece them together, "There was broken glass... things stolen..." I shake my head, "A lake... everything was dark."

In the dim light I can see that his face was only getting more confused, I wasn’t making any sense.

“It doesn’t matter.” I finally say after not saying anything for a few moments, “All I know is, Adam needs our help.”

Mitch raises an eyebrow, “Our?”

“Yes, that’s what I said.” I reply in a more irritable tone than I was intending to.

“Huh.” He turns onto his back, “And why should we help him?”

I sit up, “Why shouldn’t we?” I ask, “He’s never done anything!”

“Really?” Mitch responds, “How about the time where he killed himself so he could live his own life in Minecraft, without even saying goodbye?”

I move my feet onto the floor and stare at them in silence, Mitch had a point, but I still admired Adam for who he is.

“Exactly.” Mitch says, “You can go and help him, but I’m not getting involved.”

I turn my head and glance at him, he looked angry, but as I continued to stare he started to look fearful. I turn away and stand up, beginning to make my way to the bathroom.

"Wait." Mitch stops me.

"What?" I ask, turning my head slightly.

"I don't want... I... you..." he never finishes, "Nothing."

I nod a little and exit the room. About an hour later, I'd prepared myself for the rest of the day, now all I needed to do was talk to Adam and Scarlet and sort something out.

I log onto my computer and open up Minecraft, hardly giving the game enough time to load before joining the Minecraft Realms.

[SkythekidRS → BritAza] Aza! Thank God you're here, it's been crazy!

/msg SkythekidRS I know. Look, I've got something to tell you, I really need to talk to Scarlet too.

[SkythekidRS → BritAza] what about?

/msg SkythekidRS the Team... they know the truth now. I'm so sorry.

[SkythekidRS → BritAza] it's okay. I was gonna tell you to tell them anyway because I really need help.

/msg SkythekidRS about what? What happened?

[SkythekidRS → BritAza] the squids... they're planning something I know it. I can't explain, but I'm beginning to see more of them and apparently someone got attacked yesterday.

/msg SkythekidRS okay. I really need to talk with Scarlet in that case. Where is she?

[SkythekidRS → BritAza] follow me

I follow Adam and he takes inside the castle where Scarlet was brewing potions in one of the labs.

BritAza: Scarlet. I really need to talk.

Scarlet: okay, what about?

BritAza: the Team know the truth now. But listen, Jason is willing to work with you to teleport himself into Minecraftia.

Scarlet: okay. I can do that.

BritAza: cool. What should I tell Jason?

Scarlet: tell him to get ready to do his thing tonight, I’ll help him.

BritAza: alright, should the Team help out?

Scarlet: if you can convince them. We’re gonna need all the help we can get.

BritAza: Okay. What exactly has been happening anyway?

SkythekidRS: It’s the squids again. They’ve been planning something and interrogating me.

Scarlet: and someone got attacked yesterday, apparently by squids but no one is for certain.

BritAza: any sign of… him?

SkythekidRS: no actually. I don’t think he has anything to do with it this time.

BritAza: hmm…

SkythekidRS: but I’m not kidding this time, they’re getting stronger and they’re starting to attack people.

BritAza: Okay. I’ll try and get the Team to help, but I don’t know whether they trust me anymore.
