Something exploded in her face. The explosion burned her face and the blood draining down on her face felt warm. Her head was bleeding a lot and her vision was full of black, dancing dots. Her mouth was full of blood and she was almost choking on it as she laid on her side.

The snow underneath her was cold and slowly turning crimson red. The colour already stained her clothes and whole body. She knew she would die any second now.

The crossbow was pointing towards her head. She saw the enemy holding it. His finger was ready to pull the trigger and end her life with a bang. The firework would explode right in her face. It would end her life and she would go in seconds.

Yet, she wasn't ready to go. She didn't want to die yet. She had so many things to do. She couldn't just leave all her siblings behind. She had to find more information about Error and help them to stop it. She couldn't leave her business unfinished.

Her tanned, scarred, bloody hands raised to cover her bloody face. She knew it wouldn't help, yet she did it. She heard him laugh. She opened her sapphire blue eyes just in time to see his studded shoe slam on her bare hands, making her let out a high-pitched scream of pain.

The shoe didn't raise away. She continued to scream as he put all his weight on the foot that was standing on her hand. She heard her wrist let out a disturbing scrunch under the shoe.

The rest of her body shook like a fish out of water. She tried to kick and scream. She wanted him to step away. She wanted the pain to end, but she didn't want to die yet.

He didn't seem to give a shit about her pain. He raised his shoe, only to place it on her cheek. She froze, turning her sapphire blue eyes to look at him. He smirked at the horror she had in them. He put a bit more weight on the foot. She tried to keep her body from shaking in fear.

"You're already ready to die, aren't you?" he laughed. His maked face had a sickening, amusing look. It made her spine shiver. He was insane.

"Master, are you sure you should kill her yet?" a sandy blonde Watcher asked from him. She turned to look at them immediately, hoping the man wouldn't hurt them. But of course he did.

The firework that was supposed to kill her flew towards them and hit them in the chest, making them fall on their knees. Blood poured from their mouth as they chocked it out. She bit her lip and shut her eyes, so she wouldn't see them die in front of her eyes.

"Don't talk shit", the man growled and watched as they fell dead in the cold snow. Their blood stained the snow, but he didn't give a shit. They meant nothing to him.

        His eyes drifted back to her. She tried to keep hers away from the body, but yet, she couldn't. The dead Watcher laying in the blood snow was a terrifying scene.

The boot was again pressed tighter against her skin. She knew he would soon break her chin too. She knew that would hurt a lot. She squeezed her sapphire blue eyes shut, hoping he would leave her alone.

"You already caused one death. Do you really want to die by yourself too?" his voice taunted her. She knew she would die anyways. She was bleeding a lot and already felt really weak. She wouldn't be able to get up ever again.

"Step away from her", a new feminine voice called out. It sounded majestic, like a royal angel, or a Fallen Watcher.

He turned around and she slowly opened her eyes. In front of them was standing a Fallen Watcher, or at least they looked like a Fallen Watcher. They had long wavy hair that looked like a waterfall. Their eyes were glowing and so was their whole body. They had a long dress and a crown on top of their hair. One thing kept repeating in their appearance: a moon symbol.

          Her eyes widened as she looked at them. She had never seen anything like that. Were they there to save her? She wanted to know, but she was too weak to ask.

"Who the fuck are you?" he growled and kicked her on the side, making her cough out more crimson red blood. He didn't seem afraid, only annoyed.

"My name is Electra, you should remember it", they sang. Their tone was cold, but that didn't bother him. He didn't see them as a threat.

"Doesn't ring a single bell", he answered, looking as annoyed as before.

"If I take that crossbow and explode a firework in your face, something should start ringing inside that empty head of yours", they answered calmly, yet their tone was sharp, ice breaking.

She looked at them in awe and really wished that they were there to save her from the Goddess of Death, whose hand was already brushing her caramel brown hair.

"No need to get violent. We are in the middle of something here, so you should leave", he growled at them, yet they didn't even flinch.

"Don't say things that you will regret", they warned and raised their hand. A clock appeared on it and they turned the hands of the clock back.

          The snow underneath them began melting. Her eyes widened as they began sinking into the ground. She looked at them, begging for help. They looked back at her and a warm smile laid on their lips.

Her pain grew worse. She knew she was about to die. She lost all her trust that she had had for them. She had thought that they would save her, yet she had been wrong.

The dirt underneath her began blocking her breathing. She was slowly suffocating as she sunk deeper and deeper. She tried to reach out with her hand, but no one grabbed it as she sank to her death.

          Suddenly it all changed. All the pain was gone and underneath her knees was hard concrete floor. When she opened her eyes, there was no blood in her hands or her caramel hair that was hanging next to her face as she looked down at the concrete.

She stood up and noticed that there wasn't a single drop of blood on her. But yet, she couldn't tell if she was alive or dead. She was pretty sure she had died, yet she felt alive.

"Wyana!" a familiar voice called out for her. She spun around to see a familiar strawberry blonde running towards her. Now she looked around and noticed that she was in the Main World.

"Wyana! Could you have a look at this crash report I got from Hermitcraft? I'm afraid I broke something, but I don't understand anything from it!" the soothing, yet kinda panicked voice of the male said.

She smiled. "I don't think you have broken anything", she assumed before turning to look at the report. "Never mind.."

"Oh shit! What happened?" he whined and looked at her behind his Watcher mask. "I don't know how I'll explain it to Ex-Eye-Zooma if I have to", he continued to ramble as she examined the report.

In the report she saw the time, it was 14.26. She had gone to the End at 15.00. Now she understood the clock on their hand and what they had done. They had turned back the time to save her and the Watcher who had died.

"Yeah, looks like you crashed something with redstone and now all the redstone machines there are most likely broken", she hummed after looking at the report.

"What?" he exclaimed. "Seriously?" he asked in shock.

"The blame isn't going to go to you since it seems like a redstone overload. Looks like a normal glitch, the admin won't start looking for anyone to blame", she answered and handed the report back to him.

"Oh shit. That's not good though", he whined and turned around. "Anyways, thanks for the help Wyana!" He waved.

"Wait Xelqua!" She called out, making him stop and turn around. "Keep an eye on the Watchers. I have a feeling that they're up to no good", she warned.

"We'll do that!" he nodded before running off.

[No one]

         "She knows something about the Watchers that she isn't telling to you", Xavier warned Grian as they stepped through the portal to go back to Hermitcraft.

'I know, but I trust her enough not to ask anything about it', Xelqua sighed as he fell on the sand of the spawn.

"Look at that. They're shooting rockets in the shopping district", Xavier pointed out.

'Let's go check that out!' Grian got excited immediately and took off with his elytras to go check out what his friends were up to at the shopping district.

(There's only a few hours left of this year! So, happy new year! This is the last chapter this year!)

(I mentioned something about wanting to see reindeer this year when I went to Rovaniemi. I saw four of them! And sat in a sleigh pulled by a snowmobile. I also ran around the house in swimsuit when there was snow. It was really nice.)

(Also, the last day of the year is always the best day to make weird decisions. We went and bought a terrarium for a crested gecko today :D We bought a leopard gecko a few months ago and now we're planning on getting our second gecko-)

(Anyways, have a nice new year! See you next year!)
