     I felt my stomach twist in pain as I groggily opened my eyes. I felt my body being lifted and shoved by strong arms as I closed my eyes again. I felt my head sting in pain as I lifted my hand up to my head and finally opened my eyes again.I lifted my eyes to a tall figure holding my body up straight to keep me from falling down, to my surprise it being the white eyed demon, who seemed to have a surprised look on his face. I'm not sure why, but I couldn't help but push him away from him in a rude manner. I felt my face heat up as I moved my form away from his, and as his arms moved away from me I could feel my legs give up on me as I fell to the ground.

"Are you alright?" I heard Lukas say as my butt hit the hard ground.

"Y-yea, I'm fine. I just don't feel very well," I rubbed my head in pain as I felt my stomach twist and turn.

    "It's because of the portal," Lukas explained."Since i'm an alchemist, teleportation doesn't affect me, and Herobrine isn't human and as has already been to the Nether many of times. You passed out for a few moments when you first entered the portal, and you might experience migraines and stomach aches because of the quick transportation."

"I-" I started to talk before I felt like I was going to puke, I covered my hands against my mouth.

"This place isn't the safest, we should start going to the-" Lukas started.

"God, give her a moment," Herobrine snapped at him. "Your rushing into it anyway, we need to think of a plan before we even start heading toward it."

"Fine, then what do you suggest, Herobrine?" Lukas said bluntly as he was giving him an irritated look. "Do you even know where this "thing" is?"

"Of course I do," He replied." Its inside the nether fortress,I have the coordinates in my inventory. But like I said, its surrounded by monsters, and I don't have my powers anymore so I cant control them anymore."

      They continued talking as I sat on the ground, I felt a bit better and uncovered my hands from my face. I signed and felt useless to them, so far I felt like I was in the way of everything. As I thought more I suddenly heard a noise, a noise behind us that sounded like footsteps.I panicked and noticed the boys not noticing the creature coming closer and closer.

     "Guys...?" I asked them. They both stopped talking and looked at me. "There's something coming," I said to them in a whisper as I turned to look at them. They both looked over and stood quietly to hear the footsteps get louder and louder, and the shadow over the wall get bigger and bigger. Lukas' immediate reaction was pure panic, and he quickly hid behind some nether rack. Herobrine instead rushed to my side and grabbed the stone sword he brought along with him.It was weird to see him protecting me, no inch of hesitation or fear in his eyes, even if he had no power, he'd risk this for me?

     As the shadow got closer and closer, my heart pounded harder and harder. We waited until it finally walked around the corner, but what we thought it was going to be was the opposite. 

    Around the corner came a rather small, but familiar looking wither skeleton. Instead of trying to kill us ( which we expected to happen), it have us a girly screech before he noticed a familiar face.

"Master?!" He yelled.

"Jordan?" Herobrine asked as he moved out of his fighting position. I immediately relaxed, but then remembered Herobrine didn't have his powers, how was he going to get Jordan to respond to him? Herobrine started to walk over to him.

"Herobrine, what about your powers...?" I asked quietly. He turned to me, without any concern on his face.

     "I wouldn't worry about it, Jordan is the most loyal one out of all the monsters I've seen." He responded, before he could greet his friend, Jordan was already right next to him, bowing down on the ground literally worshiping him.
