There's a wood growing rapidly with foul vegetations, devouring every last life it could find. The roots, the branches and the leaves look unlikely to be from this place, it seems like it completely isolated us from the outer world. Not only that, I also hear the sour screech of unfamiliar creatures; they are all coming for us, there is no turning back, also no place to run. The villagers seem odd, too. I think the atmosphere changed them in such way. I must help them. Even if I could not save the wood, maybe I could at least save those people.

And with that,came fame,trouble and the desire of a faceless man who undermined the City and inevitably became her fall from stardom.

She....I....... I was running through the thick branches, pushing the leaves out of my way with all my might. I had to get away. The wet, brown, ground made it easier for me to slip and let her red, chilling hands slip around my innocent, scarred body, not knowing where she would take me next. I was almost out of breath, but I had to keep running if I wanted to make it out of this forest alive. My red dress was getting torn to shreds, and my hands and feet had mud all over them. My long, bushy brown hair was getting hooked on every possible branch, making me push my hair in the back of my dress, just like I used to when I was forced to cook everyday for my loathsome 'parents'. Returning back to the real world, I had to stop otherwise I would black out. I took a few seconds to catch my breath silently, and to look around to see if she was there behind me. I was looking up at the tall, old tree when I heard a twig snap behind me. Just like in the horror films. I turned and ran in the same direction, not daring to look back and see her wretched face fixed on my body. I sprinted and sprinted, but slowed down when I saw I was heading to nowhere but a ragged cliff. The unknown would me known if I continued to run and jump. I stopped two metres away from the cliff and looked down to see a valley so far down. If I jump..... I die. If I let her take me..... the unfair horribleness awaits me. I had no choice. I jumped.Complete

Minecraft Hardcore
This isn't your typical Minecraft adventure. This is Minecraft HARDCORE! Follow seven heroes as they venture in this new land, searching for a way home - to reality. Of course, there is one catch. If you die in this world, you're dead for good. (Picture by Djohaal on Deviantart) (This story is heavily inspired by PBG [PeanutButterGamer's] Minecraft Hardcore series on Youtube. Most of the basis for this story came from them, but I did all I could to make my story a departure from a lot of the major events that happened within all of the MCHC series. I still want to extend a HUGE thank you to them for even making these kinds of videos. They really inspired me throughout the years and made me laugh when I didn't think I could. Thank you, PBG and crew. Watch them here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si_3MCt0bAU&list=PL96A812F2AAC7758F ) [Also, also! Third bracket paragraph aside, I should mention that this story is in the process of being REVISED and REWRITTEN, so at a certain point the chapter quality will suddenly drop - that's why. I want to give this story the attention it deserves, since my writing has drastically changed since I first started it. That's all. Okay - Nakysha, out!]Complete
Creature (Minecraft YouTuber AU)
As the trees and its land slowly burn down by he deadly purple acid, a man that was watching from afar shivered at this sight. This has been going on for ages, and the creature hasn't been stopped. If they didn't stop the thing on time, everything they knew, everything they have ever known. Every building ever created, every world that has been generated, would be gone. The man looked towards his companion, or was he, his companion? His friend has been acting a bit strange, acting anything but not himself. The man took a deep breath and sighed. He looked towards the man with a stern face, gripping onto his iron sword. "Are you sure, you aren't, It?" His friend looked back at him, and chuckled coldly in response. "You know me, buddy, I wouldn't let It get to me." On the next day, the man's friend was gone. So was the other. *Narrating will get better the more you read* *COMPLETE* (YouTubers au, based on the actual ******** world.
