Bad Luck

It was dark and foggy outside, and the remains of the sunlight disappear as the sky darkens.Stacey glares at the pickaxe in my hand."What? You want one?" I look at her."No! It's just that..who fights with a pickaxe? You need a sword to knock out all the monsters." "You're funny, swords are for cooking."
"No,you're funny, furnaces are for cooking, pickaxes are for mining, and swords, swords are for fighting, the blade could slice through your flesh in a moment's time.Where did you get these facts about tools?"
"Discovery."
"Okay,come on we don't want to miss sunset." She taps her foot impatiently. "Okay,just wait a sec."
I race down to the basement and place my pickaxe on the soggy dirt. I found a good sword, blue and shiny, and so hard that all the other tools were scratched by this one. Perfect. When I return, Stacey glares at my sword and her mouth drops open. "What? Is there something wrong with my sword?"
"Nothing,just..good choice, thats a diamond blade you've got there, so rare and precious and also incredibly hard and protective, be careful with it. You don't want to lose it."She says.
"Okay, come on, Stacey."I say.
Stacey grabs my hand and pulls me toward the house door as she says, "Call me Tace."
"Okay..Tace."

The world was infested with ugly monsters moving around carelessly looking for someone to kill. When Tace and I burst out the door, their gazes were locked on us. I stood there, not knowing how to use my blade.
"Cecilia! Swing your sword,like this!" She buries her sword into a green monster for a demonstration.
"Okay!"
I slice my sword through a black monster with eight legs. Tace gasps.
"An enderman! I can't believe my eyes!" She exclaims.
She runs to a tall monster with purple eyes. An enderman, maybe, it disappears in a cloud of violet dust and appears behind her. Fascinating. I need to learn more about these creatures, their powers are breath taking.
"You need help?" I shout over the noise of the monsters.
"Why not?"
I run to her and offer her my sword, out of breath.
"Use this for now, you're better at using it." But she doesn't take it, instead,she screams.
"CECILIA WATCH OUT!" I turn around, to see a tall enderman towering above me.

I wake up and find myself on my bed and Tace standing over me. "What happened?" I ask."An Enderman attacked you, I killed it with your sword,here it is." She hands over my sword to me. "This sword makes killing monsters easier than anything, Im going to get me one of those. Anyways, after I killed it, I carried you here while you were unconscious and healed you with a potion, that's one less healing potion." She says.
"Whats a..potion?"
"It's a drink that puts some magical effects upon you, depending on the type of potion."She explains.
"Okay. I feel like I know nothing about Minecraft,can you.. Can you teach me things about it like,everyday?"I say.
"Why not?It will be fun!" She exclaims. "And we start tomorrow."
