Chapter 2

Squid- Age 13 and Spider- Age 14

Chapter 2:

We'd been walking for days. Just making it out of the tundra biome, we stepped weakly into the taiga.

"How far are we?" Spider asked, whining.

"Based on the biome I don't think we're that close.

Spider whined more and checked her clock. It was almost night again. We were so far behind anyway that we didn't even care that we'd slowly get farther and farther.

"Should we just give up?"

I stopped walking, "No. They're probably wondering where we are."

She got a funny look on her face. She gave me the "seriously" stare and then sat down on the thick grass.
"I'm tired," she complained.
I didn't even reply to that.
"And I'm hungry," she continued.
Knowing she'd be doing this for a while, I made a small camp site with the cobblestone I brought. I took a bed I got from killing Steve last month, and plopped down onto the wooly red puddle. Spider continued her loooooooooooong list of complaints while I just played games in my thoughts. The sun finally fell below the ground and darkness filled our view. There was a weird splash sound not much longer after that.
"Um..." Spider started, "What was that?"
-splish-
We looked puzzled.
-splash-
I slowly got up from the bed and grabbed a torch from the wall. Spider followed behind me. The splashes were getting really loud and we were getting scared.
"It's probably a fish," I suggested.
I was close...
A short girl with long blue hair, dripping wet, came walking sluggishly out of the ocean.
"Squid!" Spider and I shouted.
The three of us ran in for an awkward group hug, then went back into the cobble house.
**
"How did you even get here, Squid?" Spider asked.
"I swam," Squid said while laughing.
"How'd you know we were here?"
"I didn't. I just went out to find you and got lucky."
"That's serious luck I guess," I added.
Squid giggled at almost everything we said. Most of the time I doubted she even knew what it meant. Squid is 13, but she really is only about as smart as a 5 year old. It can get annoying at times.
"Well," Spider said while heading towards the door, "We should find the others."
"Don't you know where they are, Squid? I mean, you came from there to get us, right?"
Squid nodded, "I don't remember."
I would've slapped her but I didn't want to make a scene. How do you forgot where you came from after 30 minutes? I did sigh though. It was just too hard to do nothing.
I stood up, "I'm going. We can't just sit here and hope they come to us."
"Actually we could," Squid retorted, feeling smart.
Spider pushed the door open and walked out. I followed, and we left Squid alone in the room. We walked for a few minutes. Spider went back to complaining about being hungry. I started to feel guilty about leaving Squid alone. I mean, we did just find her. Not to mention she's part of our group and one of our friends. Just as our guilt almost made us turn around, she had caught up to us. Turned out she was following us the whole time.
"Hey," she started while gasping for air, "I made it."
"Yeah I guess so," I said.
The three of us continued walking together.
I stopped, "Squid."
"Yeah?"
"Did you happen to take anything from the house before you left?"
"No."
"Of course not... Now we just left all our supplies half a mile away."
"I'm sorry..."
"Yeah- I know."
We turned around and started heading back. The sun was just about to come out so we wasted a day. Squid looked sad since she knew we were mad at her. Precious time was flying by and we were using it getting something Squid forgot.
"Wait!!!"
"Who's that?" I asked.
Spider brushed her hair out of her face, "My sister."
CS came speeding across the grass and jumped onto Spider.
"How did you get here?" Squid asked.
"I followed you but along the forest instead of through the water."
Squid looked a bit shocked.
"Do you know where the others are?" I asked.
"Well they must have left by now, but I have an idea of where they are heading."
"Great, let's get going then."
**
Squid took the river route while the rest of us hiked across the hilly terrain. CS was sprinting the entire way since she was full of energy.
"How long can she keep running like that?" I whispered to Spider.
"A loooooooong time..."
Just then CS tripped on a rock. Spider sighed and walked past her. I picked Cave Spider up off the ground and continued walking. 10 minutes went by and Squid told us she'd "catch up later" which I'm guessing meant she planned on leaving us and not coming back. This wouldn't be the first time. Last year she jumped in an ocean and we didn't see her again for at least 4 days.
"Over there! It's them!" Spider shouted.
In excitement, I followed Spider and CS who were dashing towards where they saw the others. Spider stopped and flailed her arms in circles. She was awkwardly leaning forward and her face was unusually pale.
Oh crap she's falling!
CS happened to not be anywhere near us somehow, so I darted over to Spider, who was hanging over a ravine. I barely reached the back of her shirt before she would've been a black-ish goop at the bottom. She plopped onto the grass, exhausted, scared, and shocked. I followed for the same reasons. I guess I can't complain since I could've been the one about to die. I can't even imagine the guilt I'd feel if she fell off. Even less what CS would do to me.
"Wait, where's Cave Spider?"
Why me...
I stood up and shouted for her. Nothing. Walked in a big circle to see if I could notice her green hair. Nope. CS was gone. Where? Who knows. All I knew was that she wasn't here. Spider's expression was totally blank. She was blaming all this on herself. As her big sister it is sort of her responsibility to watch over CS, but she was falling off a cliff. Cut her some slack.
"Hey," I started, "You okay?"
"She's probably dead. Did she fall off the cliff?!"
"No she's not dead. You know little kids, they like to wander. She probably found the others and wanted to go see them."
No response.
"C'mon, get up," I said while grabbing her arm, "Let's go find her."

Chapter 1

Creeper - Age 13

Hi! I'm Creeper, and this is the story of me and my friends!

Chapter 1:

"Well?" Skelly asked rudely.
"Huh...what?" I mumbled back.
Skelly rolled her eyes with an annoyed "augh" then went to ask her question to Endi. Endi was the oldest and by far the tallest. She didn't really care about anybody but herself though. Most of the time she'd just be staring at people thinking how stupid they are or that they'd be better of just not even existing. Skelly wasn't that great of a person either. She'll constantly yell or just be mad at us. Oh, and by us I mean me, Endi, Blaze, Zombie, Wolfi, Ocee, Squid, Spider, and Cave Spider. Like Endi, she doesn't care about other people, but she seems to go about it with more hatred than just being stubborn. As for me, I'm almost always happy. Blaze always teases me that I "always want a hug". Most of the time it's true, but "always" is a little much. Wolfi and Ocee are the most loyal of us all. Neither of them will leave you no matter what, and would risk their lives for anybody. The only difference between Ocee and Wolfi is that Ocee is shy. Wolfi will try anything, anytime. Ocee would rather just stay back and lay low. Zombie and Cave Spider have the highest bond as friends. They're the youngest so they get picked on by the older girls in our group. Neither of them really mind though. Zombie even jumped on a chicken once and rode it around! Cave Spider cheered and jumped as Zombie rode along. CS and Zombie are by far the most immature, but they're super fun and playful.
"Hey," Blaze said, snapping her fingers in front of me, "Are you going to keep daydreaming or come help us?"
"Help with what?"
Blaze copied Skelly's eye roll, "It's almost nighttime. We have to get going."
The others started to grab their packed bags and food. I heard something about moving, but I didn't realize we'd be going anywhere today.
"Come on, C! Let's go!" Zombie called to me from the door as she broke it down.
I nodded and ran out the door.

It was quite cold, which Endi loved and Blaze hated. They didn't get along overly well. Blaze would scream and Endi would just sigh and walk away.
"H..hey" Spider started.
"Hiya," I said, smiling.
"I forgot my bag. Can you wait here so I won't be too far behind? I'm going to go back and get it."
Naturally, I agreed, and stood in my spot. About a minute passed when CS turned around, pale faced, shouting, "Where's my sister!?!?!?"
"She went back for her bag!?" I replied flustered.
CS's face was just blank. Endi kept walking, not caring about CS's problems.
"I...I can go get her," I offered.
CS nodded, and Zombie led her over to the others.

I sprinted as fast as I could. When I finally reached the cabin, I couldn't find Spider.
"Spider? Are you there? Hello?"
I went to the back of the room to then find Spider, curled in a ball in the corner.
"What's wrong?"
"..."
"Spider?"
"I'm not going."
I paused for a moment, "Why?"
"They don't like me. They think I'm not good enough."
Spider is, and always has been, the most insecure of us all. She can cry from being told almost anything.
"Well," I started, "You are...okay? They're just jerks and they don't know how to properly treat a person. Now c'mon. Let's catch up with the others."

**

After walking for what felt like an hour, the sun started to rise. That's fine for us, I mean we'll live, but Spider will feel a bit faint. She won't feel the need to fight until attacked. Her skin got a bit pale, and we knew we wouldn't find the others for a long while. They'd have to make camp somewhere in the woods so that Zombie and Skelly don't pass out and die. Somehow, Spider and I ended up in the tundra biome. Knowing we were lost, we sighed.

We reached an icy mountain. I looked up and could barely see the top.
"If we climb up we may get a good enough view to see them," Spider suggested.
Agreeing, I started to climb. Spider was born a great climber, plus she's taller than me, so she flew past me in no time. Not much longer, she was a quarter of the way to the top. Me, still not even a fith of the way there, stopped in a small cave to catch my breath. Then I heard a scream. It was Spider, and it got louder and louder. I poked my head out from the cave to see a grey blur falling from the sky down to almost my elevation. She dug her fingers and nails as hard as she could into the mountain at an attempt of slowing her fall, but only managed to get cuts on her skin. I watched as she fell past me, my cave, and all the way back to the bottom. I climbed down as fast as I could while screaming "Spider! Spider!". She had fallen way more than enough to kill her. Her arms, bleeding, looked broken. She was quietly squealing in pain.
"Spider, are you okay? No that's dumb... Will you live?"
She said nothing.
"Spider answer me! Please!"
"I can't move."
I reached for her arm to pull her off the ground, but she nodded and pleaded that I wouldn't.
"You can't stay there."
"My bag."
"What about it?"
"There's a potion of healing."
I let out a sigh of relief, "Where is it?"
Spider, using the last bit of energy left, weakly pointed to a location near the halfway mark on the mountain.
"It got caught," Spider coughed out, "that's how I fell."
I can't make it that far...I'll end up like Spider...
"I'll do my best," I said and leaped onto the side of the mountain.

**

As I climbed up, I could still hear Spider's moans. She was in great pain, and I'm still shocked she's alive. I reached for the nearest rock ledge, when my fingers slipped off the ice. I was dangling off the mountain by one hand. I said a quick prayer and reached again for the stone. Grasping it, I continued my journey. I couldn't see Spider or the rest of the ground anymore, but her bag was in my sight. Not much farther until I got there. After another 5 or so minutes, I reached the bag. Now just for the way down.

**

My foot slipped a litte when I grabbed her lumpy black bag, but I stayed upright, and kept on going. After laughing at how much I'm risking on my friends, a gust of wind came by. Now just imagine this: you're on the halfway point of a snowy, icy mountain, and then wind comes by. I was not dressed for the tundra biome at all, so I was freezing cold. My hands were getting numb, and every bone in my body was shaking. On my desent, I missed a rock, and fell 20 ft to my cave from earlier. Almost paralyzed, I reached for her bag to see if there were any more fancy potions to help me. One swiftness potion, one healing potion, and a golden apple. I apologized to Spider in my mind, and chomped down on the golden apple. My health replenishing, I jolted down the mountain. When I actually reached the bottom, I felt so alive. Spider sure didn't though. She was so pale anyone would assume she was dead. I did too, but threw the healing potion onto her, hoping and praying it would work. After a dramatic moment of waiting, she started coughing, and some color returned to her skin. I lept down onto her and gave her the biggest hug.
"I thought you were dead!" I shouted through tears, "I thought you were dead..."
Spider gave a nervous laugh, "Well I'm not now thanks to you."
"I didn't think I'd save a life when I was 13."
"I didn't think my life would have to be saved when I was 14."
We laughed. Somehow, we lived through the craziest expience ever.
"So, we still have to find the others now. It's getting dark so they're probably already on the move."
"Yeah," I replied, "It's going to be a while before we ever catch up to them."
Spider and I got off the ground, grabbed her bag, and started walking towards the forest. This was going to be a long couple of days...

Renders for PC players ~ Read if you play PC ~

Hey everybody!

Just wanted to explain what you do if you want a render and play PC!

1. Find your IGN/Username
I've run into a few people that either don't know their IGN or don't know how to find it. Your IGN is the name in box that's above your player. You can see it above your player by hitting the F5 key once or twice.
2. DM, Comment, or Email your IGN to me
Pretty self explanitory. Tell me what your IGN is so I can make your render.
3. PLEASE be patient.
I am a normal human like you (I hope?) so I'm just as busy. I have school, chores, and many other people in front of you in line that want renders too.
4. Take a screenshot of your render and enjoy!
If you don't know how to take a screenshot, on apple devices it's power button and home button, and I think it's the same for android. If it's not, go to google.
Shoutouts are appreciated, and if you like your render, a follow would be a great thank you. :)

Renders for Pocket Edition players ~ Read if you play PE ~

Hey everybody!

So a lot of the people I've made renders for play minecraft PE instead of PC, which is totally alright, I just wanted to make a page that explained what to do because the process is different.

1. Make sure you have the skin file.
Lots of people don't understand this part. They'll send me a DM of a pic of their skin, that's not what I need. A picture of you skin won't help me any. I need the file that you used to put your skin in minecraft.
2. Email the skin to me!
If you don't have an email...well get one...
anyway...
Send an email to slotomama@fatcreative.com (yes that's me) and attach the skin file in the email. In the subject (or just someplace in the email) have your IG so I know who the render is for. Some people didn't do this so I just have random skins. If I don't know who the render is for, you won't get the render.
3. PLEASE be patient.
I am a normal human like you (I hope?) so I'm just as busy. I have school, chores, and many other people in front of you in line that want renders too.
4. Take a screenshot of your render and enjoy!

Shoutouts are appreciated, and if you like your render, a follow would be a great thank you. :)


(Just a little extra I didn't mention
I may reply to the email with "It's a 1.8 skin it has to be 1.7"
Some people get confused.
There's two types of skins, 1.8 and 1.7 (duh Ash)
My program doesn't allow 1.8 for some reason???
So I have NO idea how to convert the skins so... sorry you won't get a render if it's 1.8. Google is your friend see if there's a way to convert it?

Sorry in advance if this happens to you.)
