Chapter Two: Secret Hideout
Cat's P.O.V
I had finally cleared the server of all bugs and fixed up some exploded terrain from creepers from our first couple of nights. Eyes burning, I turned off my computer and flopped onto my bed. Ten o'clock on a school night, really? I thought. Quickly throwing on my bedsheets, I drifted into sleep.

School had been a disaster. I forgot to bring a snack to hold me through the day and my homework was incomplete. Luckily I finished it before that period. The microwave beeped, and my mom got out the pan of cooked chicken nuggets. Now I don't really care what I eat, I'm starving!
So I grab my plate, get some chicken, and the first thought on my mind was, "MineCraft". It had been bugging me all day that the house was destroyed. Ghost was smart when she thought of making an underground base. I started to eat and do some homework so I can get on the server. Good. Warrior isn't home yet, I thought. Warrior gets home about five minutes after me or before me, and today I got lucky. I was first home. Ahh! My pencil! I thought as my pencil was flung to the opposite side of the room. I get so worried, nowadays, I say to myself, almost punching myself in the leg. I hear something. The door being unlocked. Warrior steps inside and smiles. "I'm home!"

It is now four thirty PM. Raptor should be on by now. I grab my computer and plug it in to my desk wall where my light should be plugged in. I don't care. The computer reflects enough light into my face as it is! I quickly log into MineCraft and open the server.
My little blocky character spawns into the underground base. I look through the chest and find four ender pearls. Raptor must've gone hunting, I think. I press tab to see who's on.

I move my character up the stairway, to see how the house looks. I can see why Raptor is in the mines. They decided to have stone brick floors. It looks halfway done, and I see Raptor has left a little memory of KeronArmy, our past faction. I flash back to the day I started to play multiplayer with them ( By the way the following actually did happen ^^; ). She told me all about the server and what secrets it holds. When I first saw Brynn, she looked like an enemy. I was, at first, scared to talk to her. Then we started to all get along and go mining and all that crazy stuff.
But all that ended when this player, CamperCape, logged in. He offered me a diamond for what I had called, a "budder" sword. I gratefully took the diamond and he snatched the sword, only to kill other players. He seemed like a nice guy then, but when he gave me an alliance request, it all went down hill. I accepted it, thinking, "Oh I have another friend!" But I was SO wrong. He un-allied me and started killing KeronArmy, Warrior, and I with the "budder" sword I gave him. And I had thought I trusted him, that I actually had a friendship with him. No. He destroyed all of KeronArmy and we were forced to move away from our "paradise".
All we had left was a few stacks of cobblestone and Warrior and I made "sky base". That had been a wrong choice, too. I had remembered my old sky base when KeronArmy was still there. I got raided and I was forced to put dirt all over the house. I didn't like the fact I was raided. So after a few short weeks, I quit the server.
Then, Raptor had found this Prison server. Everything was okay, but a person was invisible and throwing lava on the ground. I came not to mind it at all. That was just when I had ranked up to rank "B". I descovered the "Bio-Dome" and tried to do something with a plot of land. About two weeks later, a player named _Superiority_ logged on. I welcomed him and he welcomed me back with a swift kill. Every time I got on, he would be there to kill me. A couple long days later, I opened up my chat log and someone else was typing for me. I got so scared when Warrior's did it too. We logged off of the server, and never went back on.
My flashback ended with a short burst of regret. I should've stayed on VidyaCraft, it was so much better, I thought. After the Prison server, our server hunting had gotten poor, and we had given up. There are no more abandoned servers. I snap out of my thoughts when I hear a creeper explode by my character. Great, I thought. I sighed and brought my character to fix the ground.

CHAT LOG END
I look at my clock on my computer. Six o'clock, it says. I type into the chat box, "brb," and get a glass of water. I see Warrior working on a giant Nether Portal and a giant grass block. I smile and go downstairs to get my water.

Once I get back on the computer, my mom asks me to get off and come with her and Warrior to the grocery store.
I sigh and turn off my computer. Maybe another day I can try to contact Raptor. I need to tell her about something. And urgent.
I walk outside and think about what she is going to say.
