Nev (Choco_Gurl_19)

I punched the vent with a surge of energy flowing within.

I can't believe I'm stuck again!

Little light from outside entered the vent, but it was dim. The only light I have was a small, red light that's lit above me.

The cramped space didn't help either.

It's really a good thing that I wasn't claustrophobic.

I clinged to the vent seals, trying to push it out.

"Nev!" A voice called outside. I recognized it was Persephone.

I heard her try to pull out the sealed vent door. It was no use.

Persephone cursed under her breath as I heard guards approach her.

I shook my head, thinking that saving me will do nothing but a cause of death...

I felt the oxygen get thinner and thinner as I sweated hard, due to the hotness.

I breathed heavily, but my need for oxygen wasn't answered.

Notch help me...

I punched the vent door again, but only caused pain in my knuckles as it turned red from pain.

Ow...

I kept pushing the vent door, only to see it was sealed tightly.

With my energy depletion, I made my final push, but the door is still there.

I'm dead anyway...

I slammed the vent floors in frustration. I am starting to wonder if this is my end...

Hopefully not, but my death is already obvious...

"Don't worry, Nev! We're gonna get you out of there!" A female voice reassured me. It was Storm as far as I know.

Too late, buddy.

I felt pessimistic. What if the guards dash by and kill them all? No use...

The sacrifice will be for nothing...

Did I deserve to die? I mean, sure. Freaking society despised us for our differences. If society despised me, what about my family...? Will they despise me...?

I put my hand on my forehead. I knew the pessimism won't help me, but... death is right here!

My lungs got a limited amount of oxygen as I started hyperventilating.

I then thought of things...

My family... My friends... My loved ones... They all died because of me... They all died because of my difference. And these people I cared about will die too if they kept trying to get me out...

When will they understand that my life is nothing but a pile of trash?

When will they understand that I have nothing to live for...?

What am I supposed to do with my life anymore...? It's all... pointless...

My family died because of me... My friends died because of me... The people whom I cared about died because of me...

It was all me! This is my curse... This is my mistake... This was my curse embedded deep inside my soul.

Everything was ruined because of me... I... just didn't know what kept me motivating to live in the first place...

My oxygen supply was depleting. I guess it's about time to end my curse... So that I could make everyone happy...

I desperately breathed for air, only to realize I'm already in a vacuum environment with no air.

I involuntarily gasped for oxygen as I crawled. I felt my eyesight slowly fading away. I felt water drip down my cheeks, and I knew it wasn't sweat...

I then heard a muffled voice, but I couldn't hear who it was. My eyesight closed, with the last of its light leave my teary eyes.

Goodbye... world... And my curse shall never come again...

Leonardo/Lion (TheSilentKiller-)

I heard the vents seal behind me. There's no backing down now...

I kept shooting at the guards with my bow, but more kept coming as they started peace-keeping.

Although it didn't really made peace.

I shot the charging guards with my bow, making sure that every single arrow counts.

When they got close, I grabbed a splash potion and splashed it on my nails, making it shine like a diamond.

I slashed at the nearest guard, then the next. The body count rises as I kept swiping.

However, I realized that there are hundreds more guards, and increasing. I knew I can't hold them out forever...

Realizing that, I hope Nev and the others are fine...

I slashed down at one more guard before I broke through the sealed vent. Good thing my nails could break through iron.

I grabbed my bow and shot three more arrows as I entered the vent.

I crawled hurriedly, as the guards... well... who knows what they're gonna do?

I broke through the seals one by one as I navigated through the vent maze, making a lot of noise as I did.

I destroyed another seal and gasped at the sight behind it.

Nev.

And her body wasn't moving at all...

"Nev! Oh my Notch..." I went closer, wondering what just happened.

Notch, what happened to her...?

I moved Nev through the vent, just getting her out. It maybe too late, but it's still worth getting her out! Or at least her body out.

I grabbed her peaceful and limp body and moved to the exit of the vent, which was sealed. It was a struggle doing it, but for the sake of heroism, I just did. But that's nothing my nails couldn't handle!

I slashed the vent open, and light and some air rushed inwards. I scrunched my eyes towards the light, but I carried Nev and landed on the floor, carrying her in my arms. I admit she's heavy (in fact, all Minecraftians are, except babies and kids), but I managed.

"Nev!" Ray rushed near me, "Oh, Notch...!"

I put her down to the floor for a second. I held her left arm and put my fingers at the bottom of her palm.

Please tell me you're alive... Nev...

I looked at her unconscious face with a concerned look, hoping that she's still alive. I brushed her hair out of her forehead. I do admit she's beautiful though... But still...

I sighed in relief.

"Thank Notch..." I said,  "...there's a pulse...!"
