~Carlea's POV~

It has been several days since we decided to stay in Minecraft. Jason and I were perfectly happy. We never fought, and never even got angry with each other. It was nice to finally be able to be normal. Jason and I are on our way back to the castle from exploring, when we come across Taylor.
"Hey." I say as we approach. He waves in acknowledgment and walks off.
"Ok rude." I mutter, and Jason takes my hand. I look over at him and he kisses my forehead.
"Let's go home love." He whispers. I nod and suddenly we hear an explosion in the direction of the castle.
"No!" I yell and we take off running. The section of the castle with Adam's and Ian's rooms had been blown up, and stuff was on fire. Jason grabs my arm but I rip it from his grasp and go inside.
"Help!" I hear a voice call where the flames are the thickest. I ignore the flames, and reach where the voice was coming from. Planks had fallen on Adam and he was unconscious. Ian was trying to help Adam, but was getting weaker and weaker. Stuff was collapsing around me. My heart shattered. I could only save one of them.
"Ian!" I call. He looks up, tears streaming from his eyes.
"Ian grab my hand...we have to get out of here..." I start coughing. He shakes his head.
"Dammit Ian I can't save both of you and if I'm not gonna lose both of you!" I yell. He grabs my hand and we race outside as everything collapses, and the rest of the castle catches on fire. I breathe in some fresh air, then cry out in pain. My vision blurs and Jason kneels beside me. He seems to be saying something, but I can't hear. Silly Jason...my eyelids become heavy and the pain starts fading. I'll just sleep the pain off. Before I can even close my eyes, everything goes black.

~Jason's POV~

"No! Carlea stay awake! Dammit!" I shout as she goes unconscious. She had gotten really bad burns, and Ian only had minor smoke inhalation. I grab strips of cloth and soak them in water, and put them on her burns. She has passed out due to the pain, and now she might never wake up. I couldn't protect her....I should've tried harder to hold her back. With tears falling down my face, I look at the remains of the castle we had built for her. It was ruined. Our home was gone, Adam is gone, and now I might lose Carlea for the zillionth time. I turn to the group.
"What happened?" I cough.
"Someone set off TNT. Adam and I were beating each other with sticks when everything went boom. Everyone else was on the other side of the castle or outside." Ian explains. I hold Carlea in my arms. Brittany was looking at the castle in horror.
"Tiffany and Rob." Preston says. We all nod in agreement. I send out my thoughts to find Taylor.

J: we need help. Carlea is dying!

There is no answer.
"Taylor isn't answering..." I tell them. Brittany helps me with Carlea, and we try to travel to find shelter. Night was falling, and it wouldn't be long before monsters spawn and attack. We find an abandoned house, and hole up inside. Carlea's breathing was becoming shallow and more labored. That's when I remember that this same situation had happened in the past, but reversed. She took care of me all on her own until help arrived. I lean down and kiss her lips softly.
"Please wake up my love." I murmur. Ian puts his hand on my shoulder, and we all go to sleep.

~Taylor's POV~

J: We need help. Carlea is dying!

I ignore the plea for help. They deserved the pain, and the loss of Adam was a cherry on top. I had hoped to kill Ian too, but I didn't realize Carlea would risk her life to save him. Now it was time to move onto the next phase.

~Carlea's POV~

I can hear voices. They are muffled, and I can't really understand what they are saying, but I hear them. Suddenly, five words come through the haze.
"Please wake up my love." A voice says. It's Jason! I strain to reach the source, but I'm too weak. I cry for help, only there is nothing but a void. I blink hard, and try to wake up, but instead of waking up, I'm transported to a scene below me, that makes me wanna throw up.
"Adam is dead, Carlea close behind." A figure says.
"Carlea? But our target was Ian." A female complains.
"She went in to save them, and came out with Ian. But she has severe burns, and might not wake up. I got a call for help from Jason because they want to go to the real world and get her to a hospital." A form I recognize as Taylor explains.
"Who is our next target?" The female asks. I realize it's Tiffany.
"Ian and Preston." That last voice says. It was Rob. I gasp and my eyes fly open. I'm laying in a bed in a house, everyone else was asleep. My brain throbs. I woke up for some reason...there were voices....but I can't remember anything. Jason stirs next to me and I kiss his cheek. A pain shoots up my body, and then I remembered the fire.
There was seven of us left. As I lay awake and look out the window at the sunrise, I let tears fall down my face. I realized something then. No matter how hard I try to escape my problems, they will always come back to haunt me. If we had gone back to the real world instead of staying here, Adam would be alive. If I had never met TeamCrafted, everyone would be alive. I tried so hard to make sure people left us alone, that I didn't realize that I would lose people. My heart hurts, and I knew that it was bad for me to live any longer. Everyone would only end up getting hurt. Jason would be happier without me. I caused Ty and Quentin to be killed, and now Adam is gone. What are we gonna do? The door to the house is suddenly destroyed and a wave of zombies attempts to infiltrate the house. I let loose a scream.
