I wake up to the sound of sizzling flames on the floor. I stand up and look around. The house is engulfed in flames. There are holes in the walls where the wooden planks are. Through one of those holes, I can see fang sitting with his eyes droopy as if he just lost something that he loved. His head turns to face me and then he starts wagging his tail like crazy and panting. I see Creeps out there with him. I look around in the house and see Sarah's motionless body laying down surrounded by flames all over the dirt floor around her. I run over to her while covering my nose so that I don't smell the smoke. I reach over the flames and try to get her body out of there, but it's no use. I decide to go outside and look for something that can help me. I see a pool. That's when I remember that I have iron ingots and that I can get a bucket of water and splash it on the flames around Sarah. I think whether I should do it or not. I realize that it's the only option other than stepping into the flames and barely making it out alive or dieing in the process. I walked over to a tree and started punching the bottom block. Every time I punched the block, my hand throbbed. To me, that didn't matter. All I cared about was that my only best friend was okay. After I punched one block, I didn't need to break anymore. I went to my inventory and I knew that I had a little crafting grid somewhere. I finally found it and just put the block of wood down on it. Just like magic, the moment it touched the grid, it became four wooden planks. I picked them all up. Then I placed them all back on the grid and once again, just like magic, the blocks turned into a crafting table. I set the crafting table down in front of me. I got my three iron ingots that I needed and put them down in the correct order and then, a bucket appeared on top of the crafting table. I picked it up, not having a moment to lose. I ran over to the little pool and scooped up some water. I then ran back to the house and poured the water all over the floor around Sarah. (and even some got on Sarah) Her eyes opened as if she had just seen a ghost.

"What happened?" She asked.

"Don't talk. I need to get you out of here." I replied.

I picked her up and walked out of the building. I walked towards the pool. I motioned Creeps and Fang to do the same. We walked in and I set Sarah down. She stood up. Fang entered the water cautiously meanwhile Creeps cannonballed in. He splashed all of us with water.

"So really. What did happen?" Sarah asked us.

"Our shelter caught on fire." I replied.

All four of us just looked up and stared at the moonlight. It was beautiful. It was the first time that we were actually able to appreciate how beautiful the night sky was. All that was stopped when an arrow whizzed overhead. I looked at the source of the arrow. It was an army of skeletons. The leader was a skeleton with a weird helmet on. All the skeletons had completely pearl eyes that glowed in the moonlight. That was the reason that I knew that Herobrine had sent them.

"What do you want?" I asked them a little braver than I felt.

"We want Logan. Which one of you is Logan? We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Either Logan can come up here and we'll take him, or we'll take all of you and the boss will decide which one he wants and the rest will get lowered into a pit of lava." The skeleton leader said.

I walked up to him.

"I'm Logan. And you're dead!" I said as I pulled out my glowing diamond sword and rush the army of skeletons.

Sarah pulls out her bow and starts firing rapid fire arrows at the oncoming army. Creeps, whips out a little flame. I don't know how he did it but my guess is that it was a mod. He starts throwing fireballs at the skeletons and fang scares away the skeletons. The only skeleton that is not in full retreat is the leader. He pulls out an enchanted diamond sword. I rush at him and engage him in combat. I know that I'm a good swordsman but he is equally as strong. Whatever attack that I use against him, he counters it with an even more unexpected move. I was on the verge of getting my head chopped off when Creeps fired a fireball at the skeleton. He burned. That just made his rage worse. He was about to kill me when he became a pile of ashes. I looked at Creeps.
