Free Treasure Hunters in Trouble by Winter Morgan Page A

look at all of our diamonds!” Lucy looked down at the lost treasure.
    Henry gathered the treasure. He handed a portion of the treasure to Max, Lucy, and Kyra.
    â€œWe’re going to let you go,” Henry said as he pointed his diamond sword in the direction of the griefer. “But we better not see you ever again.”
    â€œI promise. Thank you,” replied the griefer.
    â€œAre you also going to promise to stop following bad people and only do what you think is right?” asked Thomas.
    â€œYes, I will,” the griefer said.
    The group went outside to see him off and he sprinted away as night set in.
    The group could make out a creeper off in the distance. The rainbow griefer was headed in his direction.
    Ka-boom!
    â€œOh no!” Kyra shouted.
    â€œWhen he respawns with his fellow rainbow griefers, I hope he’ll remember to make his own decisions,” said Henry.
    â€œIt’s almost night,” Steve told the group. “We have to find a place to sleep.”
    â€œWe can stay in the desert temple. All we have to do is make beds,” suggested Alex.
    The group walked toward the temple, but two Endermen crept past holding bricks of sand.
    Henry accidently stared at one, and its mouth gaped open as it teleported toward Henry.
    Adam threw a splash potion at the Endermen and they teleported away.
    â€œQuick, get in the desert temple. We can build a wall at the entrance so the Endermen can’t get in,” said Alex.
    As they sprinted toward the temple, the Endermen teleported back toward the group.
    â€œLead them to the river!” Kyra suggested.
    Steve and Henry sprinted in the direction of the river and the Endermen followed closely behind.
    â€œI hope we’ll make it,” Henry looked back.
    Steve jumped in the water and Henry followed. Luckily so did the Endermen.
    Steve made his way out of the water, avoiding the cacti lining the water’s edge.
    â€œWe need to get back to the temple,” Henry said and the two sprinted.
    Alex was almost done constructing the door. Henry and Steve took out their pickaxes.
    â€œStop!” Alex shouted. “I left a hole for you guys. Don’t destroy the door!”
    They made their way through the small hole. The group had made beds for everybody, including Steve and Henry. When the door was finished, they all were relieved. It was dark and they wanted to sleep.

    I t was dawn and the group awoke in the desert temple.
    â€œI think we should head home,” Steve told the group.
    â€œWhose home?” Alex asked. “We don’t live on the wheat farm.”
    â€œWould you like to come back to the wheat farm?” Steve asked Alex.
    â€œI think it’s time for Will and me to go back to our home,” said Alex.
    Steve looked at Adam and Thomas.
    â€œIt’s probably best if we stay away from the village for a bit longer. After everything I did to the village, I feel like we need to find another place to live.” Thomas looked at Adam as he spoke.
    â€œI’d love to go back to the village, but Thomas is right, we should wait,” confirmed Adam.
    â€œWhat about you guys?” Steve looked at Max, Lucy, Kyra, and Henry.
    Steve was surprised at their response: the treasure hunters were exhausted and they wanted to spend sometime on the wheat farm to recharge.
    â€œI want to see Jasmine,” confessed Lucy.
    â€œI want to trade all of my emeralds and diamonds at Eliot the Blacksmith’s shop and craft a bunch of powerful swords at your house,” said Henry.
    â€œI need to check on my house,” said Kyra.
    â€œI want to relax and eat carrots and potatoes,” said Max.
    The group said their goodbyes to their old friends Adam and Thomas and their new friends Alex and Will.
    â€œI hope we’ll see you all again soon,” said Steve.
    The new and old friends all said the same. Steve and his friends made their way back to the wheat farm.
