2 In which Evelyn grabs a spider

Top three things not to do: Leave your little sister guarding a pond, go into a cave without a weapon, grab a giant spider by the leg.

Especially not the last one.

I was now dangling from a tree holding onto an extremely large and fairly annoyed spider.

"Get it Eve!" Mina cried from above me.

Remind me how I ended up like this, oh right I jumped without looking.

I pulled the spider toward the ground, while it snapped at me with large pincers.

"Get away from my sister," I growled, heaving it off with one final pull. It scuttled on the ground in front of me. Then it turned and stared at me, I could see tiny reflections of my face in each of its eyes.

I was its new victim.

Gulp

Did I mention I hate spiders. It approached me as I stood frozen staring at it.

"Evelyn, move!" Mina yelled.

I looked up at her, she was leaning over the side, watching the spider begin to approach me, clicking its fangs. I started to back away, keeping eye contact.

"Nice spider, go find someone else to eat now, please." I said steadily, trying not to betray the terror coursing through my body.

I tripped on my feet and fell, the thing was gaining on me now.

"Evelyn!" Mina screamed.

It was practically on top of me now, just as its fangs were about to sink in something zipped over my head. The spider flashed red once and backed up, clicking in annoyance. I looked around and saw no one. Another thing zipped past my ear hitting the creature again, and another and another. The spider flashed feebly and then disappeared with a pop.

"Hello there." Mina yelled to someone, my savoir I assumed.

As if I really needed that help... I totally did

I turned around and scanned the forest, there about 40 blocks away were three forms, all children. A little boy clinging onto the arm of a girl, and a boy standing at her side. I raised my hand to wave but stopped.

They all had glowing read eyes.

I staggered back, and then when I looked again they were gone.

"That was awesome!" Mina said, "did you see that boy shoot?"

I shook my head, and walked to the base of my sisters tree.

"Catch me," she said, before I could answer she jumped down on top of me. I caught her in my arms and set her back on the ground. "Next time you go in a cave can I come?" She asked.

"Of course," I said, no need to repeat today's accidents and near death experiences. Besides I'd probably wake up any minute.

Or maybe this isn't a dream

I shut that thought out.

"Look," said Mina, "the sun is setting, isn't it so pretty!"

And that is how Mina and I spent our first night trapped in Minecraft sleeping in a hole in the ground.
