Transported (A Minecraft Fanfiction)

Chapter 73

Amy's POV

I can't sleep.

I just can't sleep.

I sit up in my makeshift bed in the cave we found, breathing heavily.

I notice in sweating.

"Can't sleep?" I hear someone say.

I look around and I notice the figure.

"No, I can't," I say to Squid.

"Yeah, I can't sleep, either," Squid says.

He comes over and sits down on a nearby chair.

"I'm scared," I whisper to him.

"I am, too," he says.

I chuckle. "You don't seem like it."

"But I am," says to me.

I stare at him, signaling him to continue.

"In fact, I'm terrified. Do you realize how many sleepless nights I've had since I've been told about the prophecy?" he asks me.

I say nothing.

"We could die. Tomorrow, in less than 24 hours, we might not even be here. We might be dead. I'm scared of death. I've never realized how terrifying death actually is until I was transported into Minecraft," Squid continues.

I don't respond. I look down at my lap.

"We're not the only ones scared, though. Peggy's scared, Sarah's scared, Stampy's scared, Minecraftia is scared!" he says.

I notice him place a blocky tentacle on my hand.

"But it's okay to be scared. Just because we're scared, doesn't mean we're cowards. It doesn't mean we're wimps. It just shows we're human. Or, a squid, in my case," says and chuckles at the last part.

I give Squid a hug.

"Thanks," I whisper to him.

We pull away from the hug and Squid smiles.

"No problem," he says as he crawls back into his bed.
