It was almost dawn and Jesse and her friends were fighting off the last few of the monsters. One creeper blew Petra off her feet. Jesse turned around to see a creeper that was walking toward her. She ran towards it and tackled it to the ground. "Move Petra, move!" She yelled

"Jesse, what are you doing!?" She yelled back.

"Protecting you! I'm sorr-" she began. The creeper exploded, launching Jesse's lifeless body a few blocks away.

"Jesse!" Wide-eyed, she ran over to her. The others gasped and ran towards her.

Meanwhile Jesse woke up. It was nothing like she seen. I was pitch-black. "Hello?" She called. Looking around, she saw a red screen. Behind the screen, was her friends surrounding her. "I-is that me?" She asked herself. "It can't be me. I'm right here." She looked up and noticed some words. She backed up to read them. Game Over. You cannot respawn in hardcore mode, they read. There was a button under them that said Exit Game. Running back towards the screen, she banged on it trying to get her friends attention. "Guys, turn around! I'm over here!"

Back with the others, they were trying to get Jesse to wake up. They shooke her back and forth. It was no use. They had to accept she was gone.

Jesse kept trying to break their attention. She had tears running down her face. She slid down onto her knees. "I'm over here" she sobbed. It was no use. There was no going back. "At least."She sighed. "At least I died knowing my friends are safe" She smiled, wiping a tear from her face. She stood up. With her head down and one hand on the screen, she pressed the 'Exit Game' button. She dissapeared. Her lifeless body turning into a pile of inventory.
