As I logged onto Minecraft that fateful day, I had no idea that my life was about to change forever.
It was a normal day. The orange leaves shivered in the cold autumn wind. If I had been paying attention at all, I would have noticed them whispering. Beware! Beware! But I wasn't. I heard nothing. I was instead thinking about the tremendous amount of homework I had.
When I got home, the door was locked. As usual. My mind paid careful attention to this fact. My body didn't. Little did I know, I would later be worrying about how many times I had locked the door. At the current moment, however, I was focused on homework.
I unlocked the door. The house was quiet and still. And why shouldn't it be? My parents were at work. My sister was working at Mojang, five blocks away. I flung my backpack at the foot of the couch and went up to my room. There, my computer beckoned me. I sat down at my desk and turned it on.
Minecraft started up like usual, but then, when I tried to select the world I wanted, it said "This page could not be reached. Error: Don't even try it."
Hmm... Something seems to be wrong with Minecraft, I thought. Maybe I'll call Sofie.
I picked up the phone and dialed 592-520-2897.
Sofie: Yes? Who is it?
Me: Hey Sis, my Minecraft is acting weird. Like, specifically my world titled "Awesum Wurld."
Sofie: Did you even try restarting your computer?
Me: Oh, no...
I shut down my computer and turned it back on. Then I did it again. It didn't work.
Me: Nope.
Sofie: Hm. You might just have to delete the world.
Me: No! I can't do that! I worked so hard on it!
Sofie: I'll talk to Notch, see if this has happened before.
Me: Thanks, Sofie!
Then I hung up. I started scrolling through my worlds, but stopped when I saw a new world at the bottom of the screen. It was titled, "Illegal" and I hadn't created it. Those were two very good reasons to not play on it. But when I tried a different world, it didn't work. When I looked back at "Illegal" it said there was someone playing on it! Oh no.
I tried a different world, one that all my friends constantly played (though I didn't think much of it). This one also didn't work.
My mind was racing. On one hand, I wanted to play Minecraft. Badly. But on the other hand, it was kinda stupid to go on a Minecraft server I didn't know about. Everybody knows that.
You know what? I thought. I'm going on that server. I will never learn to face fear if I don't go on a server my friends are probably trying to prank me with! With that, I opened it. Suddenly my computer started shaking and glowing. My eyes raced around the room. 3:30 was the time on my clock, though my computer said 4 in the morning. The computer glowed brighter and the room began to fade. I blacked out as the room disappeared.
I woke up in a large field. But it looked like a garden, or a farm of some sort. And everything was block, like I was in Minecraft. But that was impossible, right? But apparently not. A cow walked up to the grass I was standing on, not interested in me, but the meal under me. My name is Shadow. That's all I could think. My name is Shadow and I am not a part of Minecraft. But I was. 
I walked through the farm, trying not to step on any of the plants. But my foot came down on a large potato and splattered everywhere. Not that I thought that could happen. All of a sudden a young-looking girl with black hair and black T-shirt and pants. I noticed that the tips of her jet-black hair were dyed purple. She spoke. SHE ACTUALLY TALKED. Not in chat. I could hear her.
What are you doing?
Me: Um. You can talk. Where am I? How do I get back home?
All these were tests, to see if I could speak aloud. Apparently, I could.
Me: So uh, what's your name?
Girl: I'm... Vanessa. Call me Nessa or just Ness.
"Vanessa" was the first living thing I'd seen here, besides that cow. I wanted to befriend her and get her to explain what was going on. I was relieved to see that the person playing was just a player, not "Illegal." I'd assumed it was a person or entity. But maybe it was just the name of a town. Or something.
Me: So, Nessa, how did you get here?
Vanessa: I don't know. My computer screen started shaking... And I landed here.
I start to shiver. Two random girls, trapped inside this strange world with no way out.
Me: Anyway, want to be friends? We can figure out this mess together. Two heads are better then one...
Vanessa: Sure!
And just like that, I had a friend. I was celebrating (in my head, of course) when I saw the dark cloud in the distance.
Me: Oh, Herobrine. What is that?
Vanessa: I don't know. Maybe it is Herobrine.
Me: What?????
Vanessa: Never mind, I talk like that a lot.
Okay then... We have a bigger problem to deal with now.
Me: Do you have a shelter we can sit out the storm in?
Vanessa: No... I just finished my farm.
Me: We need to build one. Now.
It turns out Nessa does not have any wood. I gather a few trees' worthand bring it back. Apparently Nessa is faster than she seems, as she already has some brick stairs for a ceiling, some wool, and some cobblestone. I find this weird, but we eventually build a house. It looks good, too. I sketch a quick picture in the drawing pad I find in my pocket. We go into the house and sit on the beds.
Me: So, what do we do now?
Vanessa: I'm going to go outside and make sure nothing bad is coming. You can do what you want.
She exits the house and I turn to my sketchbook. There is also a sort of pencil in there, but no eraser. I sketch the house and all its designs in seconds, in case we need to or want to rebuild it any time. I flip the page and draw a new picture, but this one is of a terrifying sight. A girl with black clothes and black hair, looking almost like Vanessa but without purple tips, with completely white eyes. I shrug off the resemblance to Nessa, however.
She comes back in with a worried look on her face. 
Me: What is it?
Vanessa: My broth- I mean, Herobrine is coming!
Me: ?!
By now I'm panicking. Herobrine? In this world? But how? And why? Nessa sits down on the bed and picks up a box. A shulker box. She starts collecting everything, just leaving the walls. She puts everything in the boxes and hands some to me.
Vanessa: Keep these safe.
Me: Okay...
I walk over to the bed and sit down where Nessa was. The cloud is even closer. I see a shape walking towards it and my heart jumps into my throat. It's Nessa. What's she doing? She'll be killed! I run out the door towards her. She is a long way away.
Me: Nessa! What are you doing?
Vanessa: Something I should have done long ago.
I feel tears prick my eyes as she pulls out a sword. It begins glowing. We are right in front of the cloud now. There are two glowing white rectangles in the middle. What? Then a person walks out. But not a person. Herobrine. He walks toward Nessa, who is looking at the ground.
Me: NESSA! GO AWAY!
Vanessa: Shadow, back to the house. Leave. Now.
I back up a few steps but don't leave. Then I hear Herobrine. His voice is rough and evil-sounding.
Herobrine: How have you been, sister?
I stop. Sister? No. This is impossible. She looks up and turns around, her eyes full of hurt and tears. Slowly, they change. They turn from purple to white. Pure white. She's- she's- but how? Her eyes remain full of tears. She begins walking towards me. I back away.
Vanessa: Shadow?
Me: No! Get away from me! I don't trust you!
Vanessa: Please! I can explain! I'm not with him!
I stop.
Me: Huh? But- your eyes...
Vanessa: I'm an illegal copy of Herobrine, built to fight him.
Me: Oh. So you are my friend?
Illegal: Yes. You are an amazing person! I'm sorry for not telling you!
Me: It's fine. You have a brother to fight now. Don't worry.
She turns back and lifts her purple and black sword. He holds up an iron sword, glowing with power. Is that his sword? Illegal's sword begins glowing too. Suddenly, they lunge at each other. Their swords connect and then separate. It's like a dance, but sparks fly through the air. It is amazing to watch. Then Illegal drops her sword. I shout.
Me: NO!
Herobrine knocks her onto her back and leans over her, about to deliver the death blow. Then she kicks him and he goes flying. Her sword returns to her hand. They begin their dance again. I reach into my inventory and pull out the sword Illegal gave me earlier. Realizing the sword is almost buzzing, I focus and it lights up, just like Illegal intended it to.
