Hey, I'm Angie. So far you've been seeing things the way Lizzie sees them, but how about I show you the way I see them. Specifically after we got out of the nether. That was one of the worst days of my life, and believe me I've had a lot of bad days and this is one of them. But as Lizzie said, sometimes life isn't fair and we just have to carry on or something like that.

"Lizzie! Lizzie wake up!", I said trying to wake my friend. We had just gotten out of the nether and well not all of us made it out. Our friend Jack who we've known since childhood was trapped in the nether. He sacrificed himself in order to get Lizzie and me out. Jack and I were friends, but to Lizzie he was like a brother to her, the brother she never had. Just then Ariana who had been able to stop the shadow knights saw us by the ruins of the town's nether portal. "Angie! You're all righ- wait! Whats wrong with Lizzie and where's Jack and why is the nether portal in ruins!", exclaimed Ariana. I looked her in the face and told her everything.

The moment I got to the nether they dragged me to a cell and locked me in. The cell was witchcraft proof so there was no way of getting out unless someone from the outside came and opened the door. I peered outside the tiny opening of my cell and saw and overheard two shadow knights walking by. "This one's more powerful than the shaman we got last week, we'll connect her to the altar and drain her and see if we can get her to join us.", said the brown haired one. "Indeed, but I think I may have seen two guards come after her and I have a bad feeling about one of them.", said the white haired one. "Well maybe we can get then to join us then.", replied the brown haired one. "It's not that simple Gene as if we are to convert them they must be detained.", said the white haired one. "You'll see Sasha you'll see.", said Gene and then they disappeared into the room next to this. I sat down in my cell feeling all hope was lost when Lizzie and Jack came to my rescue. Lizzie was able to get me out by the one assigned to guard me was the shadow lord himself. We fought our way back to the bridge but then realized there wasn't enough time for us all to get back as one would have to keep the shadow lord busy. Lizzie and Jack argued and finally Jack threw down the potion I had given him for his birthday a few months ago creating a barrier between him and me and Lizzie. He told us to go and we went. I was the first to leave. I should have been the one to stay behind. It should have been me.

Once I had told everything Ariana was shocked. Her face had twisted into a look of shock and her eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her hand. "Shocked as you may be we should get Lizzie inside and inform Lord Lauren about the situation.", I said. "You're right, we should tell her. But I'm worried, when someone is left in the nether they either never return or if they do, are never the same. That place changes people for the worse, and Jack is there.", said Ariana. "Oh my Irene you're right, we have to tell Lord Lauren of this now.", I said and we rushed off to find and tell Lord Lauren.

"Angie? You're safe. Wait! What's wrong with Lizzie and where's Jack?", asked Lord Lauren. Ariana and I locked eyes and told her everything I had told Ariana. When we finished she had the same look. We were now in her house and I had just laid Lizzie down on the couch as we had gotten tired of carrying her. Lord Lauren was silent no doubt taking this like Lizzie and Ariana did, after all Jack was there for everyone one, even her. "Lady Lauren, are you alright?", I asked. "No... I'm not, Jack the next to join the guards was taken by that wretched dimension. I just..  UGH! I need some time alone to think ok.", said Lauren before walking into another room her hand on her head.

Soon the whole village was informed of what had happened and no one was taking it well. Our friends had gotten back only to learn that one was gone. Out of all of us the one's taking it the worst were Lizzie and Ariana. Ariana had liked Jack but never told him and now he was gone. Lizzie only left her home only to patrol and seemed stricken with grief for her friend. It seemed as it everything we had come to know was gone. We only wondered what Jack could be going through.
